Daily NBA Tips

Our Daily NBA Tips cover all the key games throughout the 2023/2024 NBA season and there is no better place to bet on all the action than Ladbrokes.

Heavy favourites are the theme on Friday’s eight-game NBA slate. Our best bets include a play on the Cavs vs Spurs game, as well as a rematch from last week between the Bulls and Lakers in Chicago.  

We’ve got a monster double-digit spread in favour of the Cavs, which was expected considering the Spurs’ two biggest stars (Wemby and De’Aaron Fox) are out for the year. For Cleveland, this is the chance to extend their winning streak to three after struggling in the first half of their recent five-game road trip with losses to the Clippers, Kings, and Suns in succession. Evan Mobley has been given the night off to rest, but it helps knowing the Cavs have covered the spread over their last two wins, which includes the –16.5 point line against Utah earlier in the week. This is the first game of a back-to-back before heading to Detroit on Saturday, but their 7-3 record against the spread in this spot since early December is hard to ignore. 

Tip: Back the Cavs to Cover the Line (-10.5 Points) 

Don’t look now, but the Bulls (32-40) are starting to make their presence felt in the Eastern Play-In picture. There’s still a ways to go, but three straight wins on the road over the Kings, Lakers and Nuggets make this one of the more fun teams to keep an eye on down the stretch. The Lakers, meanwhile, head to Chicago on no rest after beating the Pacers at the buzzer last night on a LeBron James tip-in. The Bulls have been a steady play against the spread in these non-conference battles (6-5-1), and after putting up 146 points on them under a week ago, you can definitely entertain another upset, this time at home.  

Tip: Back the Bulls to Cover the Line (+3.5 Points)  

Another healthy line in favour of the Rockets, who find themselves 1.5 games up on the Nuggets for the second seed in the West. The Jazz caused Houston some problems when they met in late February, walking away 124-115 winners on the back of a 23-point double-double by Lauri Markkanen. The Rockets won’t have to worry about the big man again on Friday though as Markannen (conditioning) and Jordan Clarkson (foot) are both ruled out on the injury report. The Jazz have given up over 120 points across their last three games to Boston, Cleveland and Memphis, so with a two-day break to follow, this looks a nice spot to back Houston to continue that trend.
