The midweek NBA schedule tends to throw up some superb fixtures and that rings true again this week. With so much to play for, teams in both the East and the West are in action in a busy round of showdowns.
The Chicago Bulls take on the Toronto Raptors in the East, Golden State Warriors host Philadelphia 76ers in a whopper, whilst the Washington Wizards take on the LA Clippers.
31st January – United Center, Chicago
Chicago Bulls to win the match @ 1.75 (PlayUp)
Over in the East, reaching the playoffs is on the agenda for both the Chicago Bulls and the Toronto Raptors, with neither side quite managing it currently.
The Chicago Bulls always court plenty of attention with NBA punters and betting sites and they will want to improve on their league standing of 9th.
For the Raptors meanwhile, being stuck on a 5-game losing streak will not be sitting well with their players or fans and they need a response here.
This will be a very good game, with home advantage likely to assist the Chicago Bulls here.
31st January – Chase Center, San Francisco
Over 223.5 points in the match @ 2.05 (GetSetBet)
Two absolute NBA giants face off, as Golden State Warriors take on the high-flying Philadelphia 76ers.
It has been a season to forget of sorts for the Golden State Warriors, who are on the cusp of the playoffs in the West but they would have been expecting more this season.
The Philadelphia 76ers meanwhile are sitting pretty in the East, comfortably in 3rd place but they do need to be aware of potentially slipping back into the chasing pack.
This will be a firecracker, with plenty of points going to be put on the board.
1st February – Capital One Arena, Washington
LA Clippers to win the match @ 1.75 (BlueBet)
It has been a real campaign to forget for the Washington Wizards but they have the chance to salvage some pride against the LA Clippers.
For the Wizards, only 8 wins in a tough season is not a return they would have expected this year and their progress is always being touted by domestic and international betting sites.
Over in the West, the LA Clippers have been kicking up a storm, flying high in 3rd place and they are firmly in the hunt for at least a playoff spot.
This should be a good game, with the LA Clippers ready to run riot in the capital.
