Jostling for position in the respective conferences is very much the objective for every NBA franchise and consequently, it promises to be another packed midweek round of NBA action.
Three Western whoppers are on the card, with the Minnesota Timberwolves welcoming the Memphis Grizzlies, the Denver Nuggets hosting the Sacramento Kings and the LA derby, as the Clippers take on arch-rivals Lakers.
29th February – Target Center, Minnesota
Minnesota Timberwolves to win the match @ 1.75 (PlayUp)
It has been an incredible season so far for the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are firmly in the conversation to win the Western Conference and the NBA Championship with many respected NBA betting sites. However, there is still plenty of basketball to be played and next up they face a potential banana skin the form of the Memphis Grizzlies. For the Grizzlies, this is a chance to spoil the party and they do tend to revel in the role of underdogs, but the Timberwolves are ticking along really well, and they should manage to pick up an important home win here.
29th February – Ball Center, Denver
Denver Nuggets to win the match @ 1.80 (GetSetBet)
Defending NBA champions the Denver Nuggets do look to be clicking into gear when it matters most once again this season and they face a tricky tie next, as they welcome the Sacramento Kings. For the Kings, this is a no-pressure game, as they look to build on their league standing of 5th and build on their 3-game winning streak. The Nuggets have also won 3 on the spin and sit 3rd and with home fans backing them to the hilt, the Nuggets could pick up an important home win in this one, which should be hugely entertaining.
29th February – Crypto.com Center, Los Angeles
LA Clippers win the match @ 1.95 (BlueBet)
A game that always whets the appetite of both punters and international betting sites is the Los Angeles Derby and the tables have turned somewhat in California this season. The star-studded Clippers are firmly in the mix for the NBA Championship crown this season, flying high in the West and are arguably strong favourites to win this one. However, writing off the LA Lakers is never wise and with LeBron James showing signs he may be returning to full fitness, anything is possible for the Lakers. However, the Clippers have the momentum and if they can overcome the Lakers here, who knows how far they can go this season.
