Going 3-1 on my NBA bets the past two days has given me a bit of breathing room with my bankroll. However, let’s continue building it up. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Thursday, January 15th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Thursday, January 15th
Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat
Start Time – 7:30 PM EST
Both of these teams – the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat – have made me money this season, as they’ve been better than expected (the Heat more earlier in the year). A strong home team facing a strong team on the road – this should be a good matchup.
The spread is fairly close to where I have it calculated, but I’m going to sprinkle a bit on the Heat, as I did on Tuesday and won. My line is Boston -0.5, so the value is on the home dog.
Best Bet: Miami +2.5 (-110)
Milwaukee Bucks vs San Antonio Spurs
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
People, people – the Milwaukee Bucks aren’t good! This is a really poorly constructed team with one star player who is entering action tomorrow night with a bum ankle (but Giannis is expected to play).
I’m saying all this because the Bucks are being given too much respect on the lines for tomorrow night when they visit the San Antonio Spurs. But that’s good news for us. My line is San Antonio -12, so the Spurs get my money.
Best Bet: San Antonio -7.5 (-110)
2025/6 Overall Record: 88-76 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $196.50
Return on Investment: 1%
