2015/16 NBA Betting Tips – March 12
Welcome to another BetKing NBA betting preview. Hopefully you all enjoyed Kobe and LeBron’s last clash against each other last night in Los Angeles.
A few games have caught our eye on NBA Friday (Saturday, March 12 8.45pm AEDT) and our suggested bets are below!
Portland @ Golden State 14:40 AEDT
This should be a very exciting game with the two best shooting back courts in the entire NBA in action. The Blazers shot the Warriors out of their gym a few weeks back but have since ran out of puff a little bit. They went 3-3 on their East Coast road trip and had to work hard to handle the Wizards at home a few nights back.
That Wizards team is much improved though and the market looks to have forgotten just how good Portland was playing in early February. Golden State are in are in cruise control and their performance against Utah two nights ago was clinical. They will be awfully hard to beat but the spread looks three points too high tonight. Play it safe and hope Lillard and McCollum keep it close!
Suggested bet: Portland +13.5 various
Confidence level: 75%
Minnesota @ Oklahoma City 12:10 AEDT
Oklahoma City really do match up incredibly well against the Timberwolves. Westbrook can straight up bully Ricky Rubio and their size inside can trouble the young Wolves. The Thunder hit a little mid-season slump but were back to something near their best when they beat the Clippers comfortably during the week.
Minnesota, on the other hand have an awful coach and seem to the classic team with talent spinning their wheels a little bit. As it stands they might be the fourth-worst team in the NBA. This looks like another Westbrook triple-double and the Thunder should win comfortably. One of few times all season we will chase a spread this high.
Suggested bet: Oklahoma City -12.5 @ $1.95 William Hill

Detroit @ Charlotte 11:10 AEDT
Interesting battle between two Eastern Conference playoff teams (as it stands). Charlotte have been resurgent winning eight of their past ten with a mix of toughness and some brilliant individual performances from Kemba Walker.
Detroit are a tricky team to grade. At times they look to be as good as any team in the East not named the Cavs and then in other games there lack of depth is exposed and you scratch your head. Two good trade deadline moves should see then squeeze into the playoffs and then who knows! We’ve assessed this almost a 50-50 game with perhaps a slight edge to the Hornets who play well at home. $2.42 is great odds for the Pistons to cause the upset.
Suggested bet: Detroit H2H – $2.42 Sportsbet
