Well, my nine-bet winning streak is over, and it went down in spectacular fashion on Friday as I whiffed on both of my NBA bets. But I’m still up plenty of money this season, so all is well. Back at it tomorrow. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Saturday, December 20th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Saturday, December 20th
Boston Celtics vs Toronto Raptors
Start Time – 7:00 PM EST
For a ten-game slate, there are very few spots I like in the NBA tomorrow. But I’ll take a flyer on the Toronto Raptors, who host their Atlantic Division rivals, the Boston Celtics, tomorrow at the Scotiabank Arena.
The Celtics have been a team that I’ve been making money on backing this season, but the fact that this is the second night of a road back-to-back for them tips this game into the Raptors’ favor. My line is Toronto -0.5, so I’ll gladly take them as a home dog.
Best Bet: Toronto +2.5 (-114)
Washington Wizards vs Memphis Grizzlies
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
The Washington Wizards are playing tomorrow, and they’re so terrible again this season that it’s almost an automatic play to get in on the other side of them on any given night. Saturday would be one of those given nights.
No Ja Morant for the Memphis Grizzlies tomorrow, but they’re probably better off without him at this point. My line is Memphis -16, so the Grizzlies at home on the spread is definitely the play.
Best Bet: Memphis -10.5 (-110)
2025/6 Overall Record: 66-49 (57%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $901.41
Return on Investment: 7%
