It’s a battle of the online betting heavyweights in the Eastern Conference as the no.1 ranked Boston Celtics play the no.2 Toronto Raptors in what should be an exciting sports betting affair at Air Canada Centre.
There are seven other games that will keep betting websites busy as well, with the Wizards playing the playoff-chasing Sixers and the Thunder visiting Kevin Durant and his Warriors.
Cleveland Cavaliers @ Orlando Magic (February 07, 08:00 GMT+8)
Nothing’s going right for the Cavaliers right now; and as the trade deadline nears, they seem to be contemplating to blow it up now and just give up this season for the future.
Despite their struggles, however, Cleveland shouldn’t have a hard time against an Orlando team missing the likes of Aaron Gordon, Nikola Vucevic and Terrence Ross. Choose the Cavs -7.00 @ 2.00.
Boston Celtics @ Toronto Raptors (February 07, 08:30 GMT+8)
With both the Celts and Raps on a winning run, their second meeting is expected to be another tight affair.
Their battle last November saw Boston won by a one-point lead, but a repeat won’t be easy this time with the Raptors boasting a solid form at home. It should also give Toronto an advantage that the visitors have Kyrie Irving and Marcus Morris coming off injuries.
Milwaukee Bucks @ New York Knicks (February 07, 08:30 GMT+8)
The Knicks are struggling offensively and have lost three in a row now, so the Bucks can at least afford to rest Giannis Antetokounpo who had an injury scare against the Nets. Jabari Parker is also back, giving Milwaukee another offensive option amid their injury plague.
Houston Rockets @ Brooklyn Nets (February 07, 08:30 GMT+8)
Winners of their last four, the Rockets will be difficult to stop. The Nets are capable of surprising any team, but it’s doubtful they can put up much of a fight against the high-flying Rockets who head into this match full of confidence after blowing out the Cavs by 32 points. Betting on Houston -10.50 @ 1.94 is a no-brainer.
Memphis Grizzlies @ Atlanta Hawks (February 07, 08:30 GMT+8)
Although Atlanta are one of the worst teams in the league, Memphis can’t take it easy against them. The Grizzlies’ lack of depth on the offensive end was seen in their loss to the Raptors yesterday, and that might just be a big problem against the Hawks that remain a top-10 team from the three-point territory.
I like the chances of the Hawks on -2.50 @ 2.00.
Washington Wizards @ Philadelphia 76ers (February 07, 09:00 GMT+8)
With John Wall out until March, the Sixers have a chance to take the lead in their season series against the Wizards. Philadelphia won their game last November when Wall didn’t play, so it shouldn’t be different this time especially with Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid performing consistently. I suggest punting on Philly -6.00 @ 2.02.
Oklahoma City Thunder @ Golden State Warriors (February 07, 11:30 GMT+8)
Golden State have more reason to win this match after losing their first game against Oklahoma last November. Fortunately, it couldn’t come at a better time for them as the Thunder are currently struggling after losing four straight now.
Not to mention that the Thunder will be without one of their defensive anchors in Andre Roberson. Go for the Warriors -9.50 @ 1.91.
Phoenix Suns @ Los Angeles Lakers (February 07, 11:30 GMT+8)
The Lakers are doing just fine without Lonzo Ball, and they seem poised to extend their winning streak to three when they meet the struggling Suns. After all, the men in Purple and Gold have won their last six home games and have been brilliant defensively this past month—with wins against the Thunder, Celtics, Pacers and Spurs.
