Of course, Nikola Jokic went down with a knee injury on Monday night – this is the NBA, and we can’t have nice things. At least we can win money on it, though. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Tuesday, December 30th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Tuesday, December 30th
Philadelphia 76ers vs Memphis Grizzlies
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
The Memphis Grizzlies have pulled the nose up a bit on their season, winning six of their last 10 games and nine of their past 14. They’re still constantly plagued by injuries, but that doesn’t seem to significantly alter their ability to win or lose games.
The visiting Philadelphia 76ers, however, have dropped three straight games, and like the Grizzlies, are perpetually banged-up. My line for tomorrow night is Memphis -2.5, so getting them as a dog is cool with me.
Best Bet: Memphis +1.5 (-110)
Detroit Pistons vs Los Angeles Lakers
Start Time – 10:30 PM EST
Since this is the NBA, one of the Los Angeles Lakers’ key players, Austin Reaves, is out for a month with a – you guessed it – calf strain. And even with him, the Lakers have been overvalued, as per usual, on the books.
Yet, I’m taking them, I think for the first time this season, tomorrow on the spread. My line is Detroit -0.5, so the value is on the Lakers.
Best Bet: Los Angeles +3 (-113)
2025/6 Overall Record: 74-59 (56%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $634.77
Return on Investment: 5%
