The roller coaster ride called January continues with my daily NBA bets, with a 2-0 Sunday giving way to a 0-2 Monday. I’m ready to get off this ride now. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Tuesday, January 13th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Tuesday, January 13th
Phoenix Suns vs Miami Heat
Start Time – 7:30 PM EST
To show that I’m not a homer, I’m picking against ‘my’ Phoenix Suns tomorrow night as they head to Miami to face the Heat, despite the Suns continuing to defy expectations and winning games.
The Heat are in a bit of a funk, but they are a strong team at home in the Kaseya Center, going 13-6 thus far. Norman Powell is questionable to play tomorrow for the Heat, however, which makes me less stoked about this play.
Best Bet: Miami +1.5 (-118)
Portland Trail Blazers vs Golden State Warriors
Start Time – 11:00 PM EST
You know who else is just as good as the Heat at home? The Golden State Warriors have also won 13 of 19 games at the Chase Center this season. They welcome the Portland Trail Blazers to town tomorrow night, minus their best player.
Deni Avdija, who is having an All-Star caliber season for Portland, will be out of action tomorrow with a wonky back. My line is Golden State -6.5, but that’s with Avdija playing.
Best Bet: Golden State -9.5 (-105)
2025/6 Overall Record: 85-75 (53%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $29.56
Return on Investment: 0%
