Damn you, Orlando Magic, for snapping my heater. You couldn’t even beat, let alone cover the spread, against the WASHINGTON WIZARDS?! Shame, shame. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Wednesday, January 7th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Wednesday, January 7th
Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
We didn’t think we’d see this this NBA season – the Oklahoma City Thunder on a two-game losing skid! And losing to the Charlotte Hornets by 27 points last game?!! C’mon, NBA, you’re drunk!
Despite this, I’m still a Thunder believer (as most people probably still are). And their opponents tomorrow, the Utah Jazz, are in the losing NBA games business. My line is Oklahoma City -21.5, so I’ll take a stab on them on the wide spread.
Best Bet: Oklahoma City -17.5 (-110)
Los Angeles Lakers vs San Antonio Spurs
Start Time – 9:30 PM EST
The premier game of the day is this one, with the Los Angeles Lakers heading to San Antonio to face the Spurs. And, save for Austin Reaves, all the ‘stars’ should be on the court for both teams, including the big Frenchman, Victor Wembanyama.
I’ve made a living fading the Lakers, and this season is no different, as the advanced stats show they aren’t as good as they might appear. And this game is no different, as well. My line is San Antonio -8.5, so the Spurs it is then.
Best Bet: San Antonio -5.5 (-115)
2025/6 Overall Record: 80-67 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $371.59
Return on Investment: 3%
