NBA Predictions & Preview For Saturday, February 8th

Tomorrow in the NBA looks like it’s going to be all about players debuting with their new teams. All this roster churn is making my numbers a little less reliable, but I still found a couple of winners for us for Saturday. Here is your NBA prediction and preview for Saturday, February 8th.

NBA Predictions & Preview For Saturday, February 8th

Golden State Warriors vs Chicago Bulls

Start Time – 8:00 PM EST

One of those aforementioned debuting players should be Jimmy Butler, who will be wearing a Golden State Warriors jersey for the first time in his career. However, I don’t think this move makes the Warriors a title contender nor does it ensure they’re going to blow out the Chicago Bulls tomorrow on the road.

The Warriors are a poor road team this season, and you’d expect some kinks to have to be worked out with Butler in the lineup. I like Chicago to keep it close for us.

Best Bet: Chicago +6.5 (-110)

New Orleans Pelicans vs Sacramento Kings

Start Time – 10:00 PM EST

Speaking of bad road teams, there are none worse (other than the Washington Wizards, who are tied) than the New Orleans Pelicans and their 4-21 away record. Yet they aren’t a big enough dog heading into Sacramento tomorrow night.

So that makes the Kings on the spread the play. I have this game lined up as Sacramento -12.5, so the home Kings in their castle is the play.

Best Bet: Sacramento -7 (-105)

Overall Record: 100-76 (57%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,520.62
Return on Investment: 9%
