NBA Predictions & Preview For Wednesday, March 5th

Utah Jazz vs Washington Wizards

Start Time – 7:00 PM EST

How’s this for a top-shelf matchup?! The 15-46 Utah Jazz visiting the 11-49 Washington Wizards! And the Wizards are favored!! Washington shouldn’t be favored over anyone, even a banged-up Jazz team.

The Wizards will be missing key players tomorrow as well, so hopefully it’s a wash on that front. Utah -1.5 is my line, so the Jazz plus the points is getting my money.

Best Bet: Utah +4.5 (+100)

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies

Start Time – 10:30 PM EST

Now THIS is a proper S-tier matchup. One of the best home teams, the Memphis Grizzles (22-9 in FedEx Forum), hosting one of the best road teams, the Oklahoma City Thunder (23-7 away from OKC). And my money is going on the home squad.

The Grizzlies have been slumping, losing three straight and four of their last five, so I’m not coming right out and predicting that they’ll win tomorrow night. However, my line is Oklahoma City -4, so there is value on the home squad plus the points.

Best Bet: Memphis +7.5 (+100)

Overall Record: 122-92 (57%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,920.18
Return on Investment: 9%
