Whilst the NBA is a league that has never lacked spark or competition, the emergence of the new in-season tournament has certainly added some spice with punters and NBA online betting sites alike.
The high-flying Philadelphia 76ers will be looking to continue their good start to the season against the Indiana Pacers, whilst the Denver Nuggets host the LA Clippers and the LA Lakers welcome the Memphis Grizzlies.
Philadelphia 76ers to win the match @ 1.68 (PlayUp)
Few sides in recent seasons have enjoyed a start as bright as the one being had by the Philadelphia 76ers currently and they put their excellent record on the line against the Indiana Pacers.
Despite not initially being seen as one of the front runners by plenty of NBA betting sites, the 76ers have been in fine fettle – winning 8 of their opening 9 games played.
In a similar vein, the Indiana Pacers have caught a few sides on the hop already this term and they sit 3rd in the Eastern Conference table. This should be all about the 76ers though, who are playing some great stuff at home, and they should prevail in this one.
15th November – Ball Arena, Denver
Point Spread: Denver Nuggets -9.5 @ 2.20 (GetSetBet)
Winning the NBA Championship last season was seismic for the Denver Nuggets and their form has transitioned superbly into the 2024 season.
Sat pretty at the top of the Western Conference, the Nuggets look to be a side capable of finding another gear at any stage and whilst the season is still in its early stages, they are amongst the front runners for Championship glory again this season.
The Clippers meanwhile are in the midst of a 5-game losing streak and they look to be dwindling in confidence game by game. This may not be pretty, with the Nuggets chomping at the bit.
15th November – Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles
LA Lakers to win the match @ 1.80 (BlueBet).
Whilst it is very much early days within the 2024 NBA season, the performances of both the LA Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies have caught the attention of domestic and international betting sites for the wrong reasons.
The Lakers have been blighted with injuries but are still a NBA institution, who should be performing better than they are with their resources and they need to turn the tide quickly.
For the Memphis Grizzlies meanwhile, this will be a free hit of sorts after getting a win on the board against the LA Clippers last time out but they will be all too aware of the magnitude of the task in hand.
The Lakers need a win and they should get one here, to appease their itchy home supporters.
