I’ve just been bleeding money over the past three days on the NBA hardwood, as my insane heater has been turned onto its head. Time to right the ship tomorrow. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Monday, December 22nd.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Monday, December 22nd
Indiana Pacers vs Boston Celtics
Start Time – 7:30 PM EST
The Indiana Pacers and the Boston Celtics are both opening eyes this season, but for different reasons. The Pacers were supposed to be bad, but not nearly as horrible as they’ve been, while the Celtics have exceeded expectations.
The big question heading into tomorrow night’s game is whether Jaylen Brown will be suiting up, as he missed action this weekend due to an illness. If Brown plays, my line is Boston -17.5. I’ll take my chances on the Celtics either way.
Best Bet: Boston -9.5 (-115)
Orlando Magic vs Golden State Warriors
Start Time – 10:00 PM EST
The Golden State Warriors are one of those teams, along with the Los Angeles Lakers, that you can count on being overvalued at the books every season. That’s the case again this year.
The Warriors are an average team at best. While the Orlando Magic are banged up and on the road, my line for tomorrow night’s game is only Golden State -0.5, so I’ll take a chance on the road dogs.
Best Bet: Orlando +4.5 (-105)
2025/6 Overall Record: 66-53 (57%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $501.41
Return on Investment: 4%
