2016-17 NBA Betting Tips – Saturday, November 19th
Welcome back to another edition of the BetKing NBA tips, we went 1-2 on our last set of tips. The Rockets combo of Eric Gordon and James Harden going a combined 9-36 from the field certainly didn’t help the cause!
Regardless, that took our season record to 14-7 with the winners saluting at average odds of $1.88. Let’s get back into the winners circle today.
Our best bets for the big slate of games below!
Memphis Grizzlies @ Dallas Mavericks
Every so often in the sports betting world you get to really kick a team when they are down which is exactly what we are going to do to the Dallas Mavericks today. They are without their leader and best offensive player in Dirk Nowitzki and without three of their top four guards in Devin Harris, Deron Williams and Jose Barea.
Memphis aren’t exactly the type of team that is designed to exploit and capitalise on such situations but they are fresh off a win against the red-hot Los Angeles Clippers and won’t get a better chance to defeat the Mavericks all season long. No mercy Grizzlies!
Suggested bet: Memphis 0.0 handicap (pick’em) Sportsbet @ $1.95 *
Confidence level: 90%
Note: if this price doesn’t last we are happy to take anything below Memphis -3!
Detroit Pistons @ Cleveland Cavaliers
Fresh off one of his best ever games as a Cleveland Cavalier, Kevin Love gets another favourable situation and match-up. Love has had 11 or more rebounds in each of his last six games and seems to be not only healthy but confident within himself once again. The Pistons have arguably the best rebounder in the entire NBA in Andre Drummond and Tristan Thompson will be tasked with boxing him out and keeping him honest all night long which really paves the way for Love who will be playing Power Forward most of the night to thrive.
Love should see matchups with the likes of Tobias Harris and Marcus Morris, both of which are players he can outwork and out-rebound comfortably. The lines set by the bookies appear to be two or three points too low and we have to capitalise.
Suggested bet: Kevin love OVER 11 rebounds @ $2 Sportsbet
Confidence level: 80%
Golden State Warriors @ Boston Celtics
Remember all of the experts that were doubting the Warriors? Nope, we don’t either! They are going just fine and will continue to be just fine going forward. 9-2 after dropping the first game of the season and on track for 65+ wins and the number one seed in the Western Conference.
For the first time in a long while though we are keen to bet on them. Coach Steve Kerr has already hinted that the team might rest a few of their stars for tomorrow’s game at Milwaukee which means all of them will be out to really make tonight count against one of the preseason hype teams on the East Coast. The Celtics however have started poorly and from a matchup point of view allow the Warriors to play their ‘lineup of death’ basically all night long as the Celtics are so poor when it comes to rebounding. This line is two points too low and worth playing today.
Suggested bet: Golden State -6.5 @ $1.95 William Hill
Confidence level: 75%
