Pelicans vs. Thunder

Easily the Thunder defeated the Pelicans at home

National Basketball League Pelicans vs. Thunder (-13.5)

Recommendation: Handicap win

The Pelicans have performed poorly since the start of the season and are currently on a five-game losing streak without a win. Although star Zion has successfully lost weight in the offseason, his performance on the court has not been good. In the past In several games, there were often outrageous figures of 0 rebounds in the half. In the game where the Clippers beat the Clippers, he only scored 4 points and 0 rebounds in the first half. Although he scored 25 points in the second half, it was too late. Poole and Murphy, who performed well last season, were also in unstable condition.

The Thunder's performance in the new season is still hot and they have won six consecutive games without losing. Although Jaylen Way can't play and Holmgren is injured, the star Alexander is in really hot form. He averaged 34.2 points per game. With comprehensive statistics of 5.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocks, their lineup is equally deep. Isaiah Joe, who just made his comeback, scored 20 points in his debut. Jaylen Way and Holmgren will continue to be absent from tomorrow's game.

In terms of sports betting handicap, the home team has a handicap of 13.5 points. Considering the current situation of the two teams, the Pelicans are poor in strength and Zion's rebound protection is also problematic. Although the Thunder's two main players are absent, Alexander is in really hot form and the team has many players who can play. The author believes that the Thunder can easily win and recommend the handicap to win.

76ers vs. Nets

It’s hard to win. The Nets lost to the 76ers at home

National Basketball League 76ers vs. Nets (+5.5)

Recommendation: Handicap away win

The 76ers lost to the Celtics by 1 point in the last game and suffered their first defeat of the season. They are currently ranked second in the Eastern Conference with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss. The team's backcourt combination of Maxey and Edgcomb have performed well. Maxey averages the best in the league per game. With the second-highest 35.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 9.4 assists, No. 2 Edgcomb is equally astonishing with 21.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game. He is also the best performer among the current rookies. However, star Embiid's performance is not stable due to injuries. Embiid and George will be absent from tomorrow's game.

The Nets have performed poorly since the start of the season and have lost five games in a row without a win. They lost the last game against the Hawks even though Trae Young was injured and retired. Michael Porter Jr. was in excellent form and scored 32 points and 9 rebounds. Although Thomas scored 19 points, his efficiency was extremely low. As the team's leading scorer, his state has been ups and downs. This is also an important reason why the team did not renew his contract in advance. Wolff and Highsmith will be absent from tomorrow's game.

In terms of sports betting handicap, the visiting team has a handicap of 5.5 points. Considering the current situation of the two teams, although Embiid is not playing, the team's backcourt combination is full of impact. The two are in really hot form, while the Nets are weak. The author believes that the Nets are still difficult to win, and it is recommended to win away from home.

Jazz vs. Hornets

Fighting battle, the Hornets defeated the Jazz at home

American Professional Basketball League Jazz vs. Hornets (-2.5)

Recommendation: Handicap win

The Jazz have recently suffered two consecutive losses and are in poor form. They currently have a record of 2 wins and 3 losses. In the last game they lost to the Suns, although Markkanen scored 33 points and 4 rebounds data, but three of the starters only scored 6 points in total, and Mykhailiuk went 5-for-0 without scoring a single point. Since the start of the game, the team has still been characterized by strong offense and weak defense, with an average of 120.2 points per game. Kessler and Collier will be absent from tomorrow's game.

The Hornets are also in a bad situation now and have lost three games in a row. Like the Jazz, they also have the characteristics of strong offense and weak defense. The team can average 120.8 points per game, but concedes as many as 124 points. In the loss to the Heat, they lost 144 points. The star Ball averaged 23.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game. Although his play style is gorgeous, he has never been able to improve the team's record. Miller will continue to miss tomorrow's game.

In terms of sports betting handicap, the home team has a handicap of 2.5 points. Considering the current situation of the two teams, both sides are strong in offense and weak in defense. However, Kessler's absence makes the Jazz's inside line passive. The Hornets' offense is even sharper. The author believes that the Jazz will not be able to escape completely, so I recommend the handicap to win.

Hawks vs. Cavaliers

The offense is weak and the Hawks are unable to defeat the Cavaliers in the away game

National Basketball League Hawks vs. Cavaliers (-6.5)

Recommendation: Handicap win

The Hawks have been able to win two consecutive games recently. They are currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 3 wins and 3 losses. In the last game against the Pacers, Jaylen Johnson performed well. , with a near-triple-double of 22 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists, Daniels finally found his offensive sense. In the absence of Trae Young, the team played more balancedly, but its scoring ability will inevitably be affected when facing strong opponents. Trae Young will continue to miss tomorrow's game.

In the last game, the Cavaliers lost to the Raptors with many players absent and suffered two consecutive defeats. Due to injuries, their offensive performance was not very good. They averaged only 113.7 points per game, which was last in the league. However, many players seized the opportunity to prove themselves. Merry Er's scoring average has increased to 17.3 points per game, while last year's No. 20 pick Tyson hit 4 three-pointers and scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in the last game. Mitchell, Allen and Merrill are doubtful for tomorrow's game, and Garland and Struss will continue to miss the game.

In terms of sports betting handicap, the home team has a handicap of 6.5 points. Considering the current situation of the two teams, although the Hawks have a winning streak, their opponents are very weak. Trae Young's absence has a huge impact on the team's offense. Several core players on the Cavaliers are expected to return. The author believes that the Cavaliers are expected to stop their losing streak and recommend the home team to win by handicap..

Grizzlies VS Raptors

The Grizzlies generals are at odds. The Raptors capture the Grizzlies at home.

American Professional Basketball League Grizzlies VS Raptors (-5.5)

Recommendation: Handicap win

The Grizzlies lost to the Lakers 112-117 in the last game. However, the bigger problem for the Grizzlies is the problem within the team. Morant seems to be dissatisfied with the coach's arrangements. In the last game, Morant made only 3 of 14 shots, including 0 of 6 three-pointers, and only scored 8 points. His performance on the court in the final moments of the game was relatively sloppy. Jackson scored a decent 15 points, but his defense in the paint was not as impressive as before.

The Raptors defeated the remnant Cavaliers 112-101 in the last game to end their 4-game losing streak. The Raptors once showed a good state in the first game of this season, but then their performance was unsatisfactory. Offensively, the Raptors performed pretty well. Ingram and Barnes both averaged more than 20 points per game, and Barrett averaged 19.3 points per game. However, the team performed poorly in rebounding and defense, both of which were at the bottom of the league.

The betting index for this game has the Raptors handicap of 5.5 points. Currently, both teams are not in good shape, and each has its own problems, but the Raptors can at least produce something offensively. In addition, the Raptors are playing at home, and at the same time, the Grizzlies side Morant has been suspended within the team. I am optimistic that the Raptors will defeat the Grizzlies at home, and it is recommended to win by handicap.

Bulls VS Knicks

The Knicks are in the throes of running-in. The Bulls beat the Knicks again on the road

American Professional Basketball League Bulls VS Knicks (-5.5)

Recommendation: Handicap loss

The Bulls have won all 5 games and are the only team in the Eastern Conference that has not suffered a defeat. They just defeated the Knicks 135-125 at home in the last game. In this game, Gidi broke out and scored 32 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists. Vucevic scored 26 points and rebounds, Buzelis scored 13 points, Dousum scored 22 points and 9 assists off the bench, and Huerter scored 12 points. This season, the Bulls' average points scored and points conceded per game are both at a relatively good level, and the team's assists per game are temporarily ranked first in the league.

The Knicks' recent performance has been unsatisfactory and suffered three consecutive losses. The team's recent defensive performance has declined compared to last season. They lost 135 points to the Bulls in the last game. Brunson scored 29 points and 7 assists, Towns scored 22 points and 10 rebounds, Bridges scored 23 points and 6 assists, and Anunoby scored 26 points. At present, the team still relies more on the performance of the main players. After Clarkson and Yabusele joined, they have not helped the team gain an advantage on the bench.

The betting index for this game is 5.5 points. In terms of lineup strength, the Knicks are stronger. However, after the coaching change this season, the team is also in a running-in period. On the contrary, the Bulls have shown good form, and Gidi has also played quite well as the core of the team. It is expected that the Knicks will not be able to complete their revenge at home. It is expected that the Bulls will beat the Knicks away from home, and it is recommended to give up the points.

Spurs VS Suns

Wenban is fully dominant. The Spurs beat the Suns on the court

National Basketball League Spurs VS Suns (+6.5)

Recommendation: Handicap away win

The Spurs have currently won all 5 games and are the only team in the Western Conference that has not lost yet. Although they have not yet encountered a strong opponent in these five games, the team's performance is still remarkable. The team's average of 118.2 points per game ranks in the middle of the league, but with Bunyama guarding the interior, the team's defensive performance is quite good. The team's average of 103.8 points per game is the fewest in the league. Wenbanyama averaged 30.2 points, 14.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 4.5 blocks per game. It can be said that the offense and defense are integrated. Castle and Vassell's performance is becoming more and more stable, and Harper's performance is also very amazing.

The Suns easily defeated the Jazz 118-96 in the last game to stop their 4-game losing streak. In this game, Booker scored 36 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, Allen scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Dunn scored 13 points and 10 rebounds, O'Neal scored 13 points, and Gillespie scored 12 points and 6 assists off the bench. The Suns' entire offensive system currently revolves around Booker. As the sixth man, Gillespie has a certain ability to handle the ball, but the team's overall strength is still relatively limited.

The sports betting index for this game has the Spurs handicap of 6.5 points. Judging from the current situation, the Spurs are definitely better than the Suns. The overall strength of the team is also dominated by the Spurs. In addition, Wenban Yama is in very good condition this season. It is expected that the Spurs will easily defeat the Suns at home. It is recommended to win away from home.

Heat VS Lakers

Doncic’s core character, the Lakers extinguished the Heat at home

National Basketball League Heat VS Lakers (-4.5)

Recommendation: Handicap win

The Heat lost to the Spurs 101-107 in the last game. Adebayor performed well in this game. Although he had a poor touch outside the three-point line, he successfully scored points in many singles. He scored 31 points and 10 rebounds. Wiggins also scored 24 points and 6 rebounds. Fontechio scored 18 points off the bench. If Hiero is absent, the team still lacks an important offensive point. Powell has also suffered from some injuries recently. The Heat's other offensive points are not too stable.

The Lakers have won two consecutive games recently. After Doncic came back in the last game, he once again showed his core character. He scored 44 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists. Reeves had a normal touch and scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Smart scored 12 points, and Laravia scored 13 points off the bench. He seemed to have found confidence after the outbreak of the last game. Ayton scored 9 points, but did not grab a single rebound. Ayton's overall playing style is still not tough enough.

The betting index for this game has the Lakers handicap of 4.5 points. The Lakers have been gaining momentum recently. Both Doncic and Reaves have excellent scoring abilities. The Heat relatively lack such a core. It is unknown whether Powell will play. It is expected that the Lakers will easily win at home and continue their winning streak. It is recommended to win by handicap.
