Fittingly, I ended November by hitting half of my NBA bets on Sunday. Good riddance to a very up-and-down month (yes, I’m blaming the month and not my poor plays, as a true degenerate does). Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Monday, December 1st.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Monday, December 1st
Chicago Bulls vs Orlando Magic
Start Time – 7:30 PM EST
It turns out the Chicago Bulls are who we thought they were, after all. And that’s a mediocre basketball team. After coming out of the gate hot, the Bulls have settled back into their mediocre spot in the standings.
The Orlando Magic will be without Paolo Banchero tomorrow night, but that hasn’t been an issue this season, as they’ve gone 6-2 with him on the sidelines. My line is Orlando -12.5, so the Magic on the spread it is.
Best Bet: Orlando -7.5 (-105)
Los Angeles Clippers vs Miami Heat
Start Time – 7:30 PM EST
There are certain games where I just know that the spread is going to be playable before I even look at it. This would be one of those games. That’s because people still think the Los Angeles Clippers are a good basketball team, and the Miami Heat are so-so.
But that’s not the case, I assure you. The Clippers are 2-8 on the road, the Heat are 9-2 at home, and they look like a legit NBA team. My line is Miami -14.5, so the Heat are the play.
Best Bet: Miami -5.5 (-105)
2025/6 Overall Record: 41-37 (53%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $18.90
Return on Investment: 0%
