Four straight NBA best bet hits have me back up to almost 11 units of profit on the season, so maybe I’m back cooking with gas. Let’s keep it going. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Thursday, January 2nd.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Thursday, January 2nd
Los Angeles Clippers vs Oklahoma City Thunder
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
The Oklahoma City Thunder are rolling. Winners of seven straight and 12 of their last 13, the Thunder are also a sparkling 14-2 at home in the Paycom Center. And they’re 2-0 this season against tomorrow’s opponent, the Los Angeles Clippers.
OKC is so good that laying nine points to the Clippers isn’t going to be enough. The line here should be Oklahoma City -13.
Best Bets: Oklahoma City -9 (-110)
Brooklyn Nets vs Milwaukee Bucks
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
Tomorrow night is the final time that the Brooklyn Nets and the Milwaukee Bucks will face each other this season, with the two squads already having played three times in the first half of the season (Brooklyn leads the series 2-1). And while the Bucks are starting to play more to their expected level, and Brooklyn is not too interested in winning many games this year, the value is still on the Nets on the spread.
Milwaukee will surely win this game, especially considering this is the second night of a road back-to-back for Brooklyn, but they aren’t covering the spread. A more realistic line would be Milwaukee -7.5.
Best Bets: Brooklyn +14 (-105)
Overall Record: 62-46 (57%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1063.17
Return on Investment: 10%
