Wednesday’s NBA tips and best bets cover two games, including Houston’s cross-conference showdown with the Bucks.
Our Saturday daily NBA Tips and best bets feature three games, including a potential playoff preview in the West between the Rockets and Wolves.
This is an interesting spot for these two sides with both hitting the road on Thursday. The Celtics have four games ahead over the next week, while the Raptors also face a similar challenge with three straight road games starting tomorrow in Indiana. Boston has covered in eight of its last 10 and had previously won nine in a row over Toronto before January’s meeting. Also riding five straight double-digit wins, the –10.5 on the Celtics is worth taking.
Tip: Back the Celtics to Cover the Line (-10.5 Points)
This is the first half of a back to back for the Rockets. The injury report is a little grim with Giannis potentially missing and Dillon Brooks and Steven Adams in doubt for the Rockets, but Houston is still the team to bet on with an 8-2 record over their last 10 games in the first half of a two-game set.
Tip: Back the Rockets to Cover the Line (-4.5)
