A hot run on my NBA picks (four straight) has my bankroll in January back into the black. Let’s build it up some more tomorrow. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Thursday, January 22nd.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Thursday, January 22nd
San Antonio Spurs vs Utah Jazz
Start Time – 9:00 PM EST
The Utah Jazz pulled off a big upset the other night, beating the Minnesota Timberwolves behind another strong performance by Keyonte George. Naturally, George has shown up on the injury report as “questionable” for tomorrow night’s game against the San Antonio Spurs. Tankers are gonna tank.
However, this makes my play on the Spurs tomorrow an even better one. My line is San Antonio -8, so I like the Spurs even if Utah wasn’t benching their best players.
Best Bet: San Antonio -13 (-110)
Los angeles Lakers vs LA CLippers
Start Time – 10:00 PM EST
Next, we hit up the Battle of Los Angeles, where there is a chance that Kawhi Leonard will return to action for the Los Angeles Clippers after missing the last three games with a knee injury. But, with this being Kawhi, I wouldn’t count on it.
Regardless, I’m going with the Clippers in this matchup. After crunching the numbers, I have this game lined up as LA -2.5, so I’ll take a flyer on the home team plus the points.
Best Bet: LA (Clippers) +1.5 (-120)
2025/6 Overall Record: 95-80 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $432.71
Return on Investment: 2%
