A slight dip in Golden State’s form and NBA results has seen the Phoenix Suns emerge as favourites to claim the Western Conference crown. All is still to play for in the East, with at least six teams in the hunt for the top spot.
We’ve picked out six games from this weekend’s fixture list that could help you win some money on your sports bets. Place your selections at Bet777.be – the best place for online bets on the NBA results.
Philadelphia 76ers vs LA Clippers
The Sixers fine form has been largely down to centre Joel Embiid’s dominant performances. The Cameroonian is leading the way for points, rebounds and blocks per game for Philadelphia, and he isn’t too far behind Tyrese Maxey for assists either. There tends to be a mismatch in the paint regardless of who the Sixers are playing, and it’s unlikely that the Clippers will be able to contain the big man.
Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers
Atlanta Hawks vs Miami Heat
Tyler Herro has been increasingly shouldering more responsibility in this Heat team. He top scored for Miami in both of their recent wins over the Hawks, putting up 45 points and 14 assists across the two games. It should be another good battle between Herro and Trae Young, but the former has superior backup from his teammates.
Prediction: Miami Heat
San Antonio Spurs vs Brooklyn Nets
With Kevin Durant putting up nearly 30 points per game and James Harden creating 10 assists to go with his 22 points, there’s no surprise that Brooklyn’s positive NBA results have left them in a good position to challenge for the Eastern Conference. Their opponents have consistently struggled to put up big scores and there isn’t much hope that they will keep up with this powerful Nets side.
Prediction: Brooklyn Nets
Utah Jazz vs Detroit Pistons
Despite a slight dip in NBA results since the turn of the year, Utah should have no problem dispatching of the Pistons this time around – no team has picked up fewer wins on the road than Detroit. Although the visitors were victors in the reverse fixture last week, we can’t see lightning striking twice. Donovan Mitchell is flying and should lead the Jazz to a comfortable win.
Prediction: Utah Jazz
Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets
Steph Curry’s poor recent form was made worse when the guard picked up a slight hand injury. However, the break might have been all Curry needed, and there’s no doubt the sharpshooter will come back swinging. Regardless of the form of their main man, the Warriors will be too good for the wounded Houston Rockets.
Prediction: Golden State Warriors
Phoenix Suns vs Indiana Pacers
Phoenix have reached the summit after their consistent NBA results have seen them go clear of the Warriors. Devin Booker’s 35 point game saw the Suns brush aside the Pacers last time these two met, with Deandre Ayton playing a pivotal supporting role. The loss against Phoenix was Indiana’s 9th defeat in 10 games, and we expect they’ll come away second best from this meeting too.
Prediction: Phoenix Suns
