We’ve got a short slate of games on the NBA hardwood tomorrow, and lots of unplayable spreads. That’s a bad combo. But I’ve found some winners, regardless. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Wednesday, January 14th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Wednesday, January 14th
Toronto Raptors vs Indiana Pacers
Start Time – 7:00 PM EST
You know why betting on the NBA is difficult? There are nine players either out or questionable for tomorrow night’s game between the Toronto Raptors and the Indiana Pacers. It makes handicapping games quite difficult.
But I know one thing. The Pacers are a crummy basketball team (I think that’s a safe statement for a team that is 9-31, right?!). My line is Toronto -4.5, so I like the Raptors on the spread.
Best Bet: Toronto -1.5 (-115)
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Philadelphia 76ers
Start Time – 7:00 PM EST
I wrote recently that maybe it was about time I take the Philadelphia 76ers seriously this season, because they are making it work, mixing young and old (and injury-prone) on their roster. So I’m taking them seriously tomorrow night.
Who would have thought that I’d be in on the Sixers over the Cleveland Cavaliers heading into this season, but here we are. The Cavs can’t be trusted, especially on the road. My line is Philadelphia -2, so let’s hope they cover the basically pick ’em spread for us.
Best Bet: Philadelphia -0.5 (-106)
2025/6 Overall Record: 85-75 (53%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $29.56
Return on Investment: 0%
