It’s my fault for continuing to believe in the Oklahoma City Thunder covering the spread. The Thunder just are not up to the task currently. Anyhow, back at it tomorrow. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Wednesday, January 28th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Wednesday, January 28th
Orlando Magic vs Miami Heat
Start Time – 7:30 PM EST
It’s a tough slate to find some good plays on tomorrow because, since this is the NBA, every key player is out or questionable. Take the Battle of Florida, for example. The Orlando Magic will be without Franz Wagner, and the Miami Heat will be missing Tyler Herro, and he may be joined by Norman Powell, Kel’el Ware, and Davion Mitchell in street clothes.
Regardless, I like the Heat in this spot. My line is Miami -5.5, so the Heat on the spread is the play.
Best Bet: Miami -2.5 (-108)
Charlotte Hornets vs Memphis Grizzlies
Start Time – 8:00 PM EST
The Memphis Grizzlies will be without the services of Ja Morant and Zach Edey tomorrow night when they host the Charlotte Hornets, but what else is new? The Grizzlies are actually better without Morant on the court, anyhow.
And Memphis is who I’m going with, even though the Hornets are a decent team this year. My line is Memphis -1, so I’ll take a stab at them as a home dog.
Best Bet: Memphis +2 (-110)
2025/6 Overall Record: 103-86 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $546.19
Return on Investment: 3%
