Boston and Memphis are among the few who started the 2022-23 NBA campaign with back-to-back wins, and both of them can extend their streaks to three games tomorrow.
Learn more about tomorrow’s nine-game slate by reading today’s SBOTOP preview of the Association.
San Antonio Spurs @ Philadelphia Sixers
The Sixers have lost back-to-back to start their campaign, while the Spurs are fresh from a 137-134 win over the Pacers.
James Harden has been in the NBA 2022 highlights reel and is looking spry, but Joel Embiid has been struggling. But against the Spurs, they should be able to get their first win of the season given their talent advantage.
Betting Tip: Philadelphia Sixers Asian Handicap -12.50 @ 1.92
Boston Celtics @ Orlando Magic
The Celtics are playing like they weren’t affected at all by the Ime Udoka scandal this preseason. The defending Eastern Conference champions have registered victories over the Sixers and the Heat, led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
They will face a Magic team led by Paolo Banchero, who has been good as advertised as he was their top overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft. The Duke alumni is averaging 23.5 points and 10.5 rebounds in his first two career games.
Betting Tip: Boston Celtics Asian Handicap -7.50 @ 1.98
Detroit Pistons @ Indiana Pacers
Two rebuilding teams are set to face off tomorrow at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Pistons and the Pacers aren’t expected to do much this season given their low NBA 2022 odds, but they have some young players that fans should watch throughout this year.
Cade Cunningham and Tyrese Haliburton are two of the top young point guards today. Cunningham has posted norms of 16.5 points and 8.5 assists per game, while Haliburton’s averages in his first two games this term are 26.5 points and 9.5 assists per contest.
Betting Tip: Indiana Pacers Asian Handicap -1.50 @ 2.05
Houston Rockets @ Milwaukee Bucks
Khris Middleton will not be available for the Bucks tomorrow since he’s still recovering from wrist surgery, but they should have no problems beating the Rockets with Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo both available.
Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun are leading the Rockets’ youth revolution. Green is averaging 24.5 points per contest, while Sengun is fresh from a 23-point, 12-rebound double-double against Memphis.
Betting Tip: Milwaukee Bucks Asian Handicap -13.00 @ 2.03
Toronto Raptors @ Miami Heat
Kyle Lowry is hoping to get their first win of the season when the Heat play hosts to his former team, the Raptors.
But the Heat won’t have it easy since Pascal Siakam is on fire. The Cameroonian is fresh from a triple-double performance in their loss to the Nets and he’s averaging 30 points in his first two outings this season.
Betting Tip: Miami Heat Asian Handicap -3.00 @ 2.04
Cleveland Cavaliers @ Chicago Bulls
Darius Garland has been ruled out against the Bulls due to an eye injury, which means that Donovan Mitchell is going to shoulder a bigger load for the Cavs.
Meanwhile, Zach LaVine will make his season debut after missing the Bulls’ first two games due to load management, which should alleviate the offencive burden on DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic.
Betting Tip: Cleveland Cavaliers Asian Handicap -2.00 @ 2.02
Memphis Grizzlies @ Dallas Mavericks
The Mavericks are trying to forget their recent loss against the Suns where they were beaten via Damion Lee’s buzzer-beater. Dallas were left shaking their heads when they blew a 22-point lead to eventually lose to their WCSF rivals last season.
However, Luka Doncic and co. will have their hands full against the Grizzlies. After dropping 34 versus the Knicks, Ja Morant exploded for 49 against the Rockets and he’ll be seeking his first win on the Mavs’ home court.
Betting Tip: Dallas Mavericks Asian Handicap -5.00 @ 1.88
Oklahoma City Thunder @ Denver Nuggets
Following their surprise opening loss to the lottery-bound Jazz, the Nuggets bounced back big time with a win against the Warriors. Nikola Jokic notched his 77th career triple-double, and he’ll aim for his 78th to tie Wilt Chamberlain for most triple-doubles by a center in league history.
OKC looked vulnerable against the bigger Timberwolves in the last time out, so the reigning MVP is expected to have a field day tomorrow.
Los Angeles Clippers @ Sacramento Kings
The Clippers are playing it safe with John Wall and Kawhi Leonard. After coming off the bench in their victory against the Lakers, the two will sit this one out due to load management.
On the other hand, Keegan Murray is expected to make his NBA debut following a bout of COVID-19. His presence should give Sacramento a better chance of getting their first win of the season.
Betting Tip: Los Angeles Clippers Asian Handicap -3.50 @ 2.04
