The NBA has started to behave itself, as I’ve hit four straight of my best bets (five straight if the New York Knicks hold on on Tuesday night). Let’s keep it rolling. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Wednesday, December 17th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Wednesday, December 17th
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Chicago Bulls
Start Time – 8:30 PM EST
The NBA Cup is still wreaking havoc on the NBA schedule, as we only have two games on the slate tomorrow. But at least it’s in the rearview now. The Chicago Bulls have lost eight of their last nine games, and four straight at home. However, the remedy for their blues may be coming to town tomorrow.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are having a very inconsistent, underachieving season this year. And they’ll be without Evan Mobley tomorrow night. My line (with Mobley playing) would be Cleveland -5.5, so I’ll take a chance on the Bulls.
Best Bet: Chicago +5.5 (-110)
Memphis Grizzlies vs Minnesota Timberwolves
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
The Memphis Grizzlies are one of the teams that came through for me on Monday, but that was against the miserable Los Angeles Clippers. They have a step up in competition tomorrow night, as they head to Minneapolis to face the Timberwolves.
However, the Wolves may be without Anthony Edwards with a foot injury. My line if Edwards was playing was only Minnesota -7, so I’ll go dog in this one as well.
Best Bet: Memphis +7.5 (-108)
2025/6 Overall Record: 60-48 (56%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $643.5
Return on Investment: 6%
