The NBA is back, baby, with a packed schedule of games tomorrow. Let’s get back at it and hope we don’t have any rust to knock off. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Thursday, February 19th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Thursday, February 19th
Houston Rockets vs Charlotte Hornets
Start Time – 7:00 PM EST
I’ve been saying for a while that the Charlotte Hornets are a kinda ok basketball team this season, yet the disrespect they’re getting tomorrow at the books as they host the Houston Rockets.
The Hornets will be without new acquisition Colby White, as well as the suspended Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate, but we’re getting enough wiggle room on the spread to make up for that. My line is a Pick ‘Em, so the Hornets plus the points is the play.
Best Bet: Charlotte +4.5 (-110)
Denver Nuggets vs LA Clippers
Start Time – 10:30 PM EST
The LA Clippers basically punted on this season at the trade deadline, dealing away James Harden and Ivica Zubac. Unfortunately, no one told Kawhi Leonard this, because he’s been balling out of his mind.
The Denver Nuggets are banged up heading into this game (no Peyton Watson or Aaron Gordon), so I like the home side. My line is Denver -0.5, so the Clippers are my second home dog of the night.
Best Bet: LA Clippers +4.5 (-115)
2025/6 Overall Record: 119-102 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $437.93
Return on Investment: 2%
