Over in the West, the Phoenix Suns will be looking to keep their upturn in form going against the LA Clippers, the Utah Jazz welcome the luckless Detroit Pistons, whilst the high-flying Sacramento Kings take on Orlando Magic.
4th January – Footprint Center, Phoenix
Phoenix Suns to win the match @ 2.40 (PlayUp)
The Western Conference is really hotting up, with the race to finish in a playoff place certainly catching the eye with punters and betting sites alike.
Whilst the Phoenix Suns had a tough start to the season, they are on track now and seem up for the fight all of a sudden.
The LA Clippers meanwhile have started to fulfil their endless potential this term and they are also in the playoff shakeup in the West.
This should be a belter, with the Phoenix Suns ready to step up with a big result here.
4th January – Delta Center, Utah.
Over 223.5 points & Jazz to win the match @ 1.80 (GetSetBet)
Ending their disastrous losing streak was the ultimate aim for the Detroit Pistons and they travel to Utah with a w in on the card finally.
The Jazz are faltering down in 12th in the Western Conference and they will be desperate to start developing a sense of consistency this term.
For the Pistons meanwhile, winning just 3 games from a possible 33 is simply not good enough but beating the Toronto Raptors recently may give them a boost.
This should be a comfortable home win for Utah Jazz however, who should also wrack up some points.
4th January – Golden 1 Center, Sacramento
Sacramento Kings to win the match @ 1.70 (BlueBet)
Two sides flying high in their respective conferences do battle, as the Sacramento Kings take on the Orlando Magic.
For the Kings, justifying their new found favourtism in the race for the playoffs with many domestic and international betting sites is new ground they are breaking.
Meanwhile, Orlando Magic are in a similar situation, surprising plenty of sides in the East and a top 8 spot could be well within their grasp.
The Sacramento Kings are a good side and they should prevail comfortably in this one.
