Warriors vs. Nets: Prediction, point spread, odds, over/under, betting picks

The best bets for Tuesday’s Warriors vs. Nets game, with odds from Tipico Sportsbook.

Two of the best teams in the NBA meet as Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets host Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on Tipico Sportsbook.

The game tips off at 4:30 p.m. PT and can be seen on TNT.

The Warriors (11-2) are looking to bounce back from their second loss of the season on the road in Charlotte. The Nets (10-4) had a wobbly start, but have won eight of their last nine games entering Tuesday’s showdown.

Warriors at Nets notable injuries:

Golden State: Klay Thompson (Achilles injury recovery) and James Wiseman (right knee injury recovery) are out. Gary Payton II (left knee contusion) is probable.

Brooklyn: Nic Claxton (illness), Joe Harris (left ankle sprain), Kyrie Irving (ineligible) and Paul Millsap (personal reasons) are out.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook (place your bets here)

  • Point spread: Nets -2.5
  • Money line: Nets -150 / Warriors +122
  • Over-under: 220.5

Advice and prediction

Coming into the season you’d expect this matchup to be about relentless offenses running up the score, but the Warriors and Nets are two of the best defensive teams in the league. The under is 9-5 in Nets games this season, and 9-4 in Warriors games. With the Nets’ missing a couple of key pieces, Joe Harris, Nic Claxton and Paul Millsap, I’d be surprised if they hit 110 points in what should be a close game. Take the under 220.5.

Also, with the Nets being short-handed, I’d expect Patty Mills to get plenty of shot attempts. His point total is set at 12.5, but he’s coming off a 29-point explosion against the Thunder. Take the over on Mills.

Prediction: Warriors 112, Nets 107

Lakers vs. Bulls: Prediction, point spread, odds, over/under, betting picks

The betting information you need to know from the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls.

The Los Angeles Lakers play the Chicago Bulls on Monday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on Tipico Sportsbook.

The game tips off at 10:30 p.m. ET and can be seen on NBA TV, Spectrum SportsNet and NBC Sports Chicago.

Los Angeles (8-6) is coming off a win against the San Antonio Spurs Sunday, so it will be the second night in a row L.A. takes the floor. The same applies to the Bulls. Chicago (9-4) topped the L.A. Clippers Sunday, so it’s another game in Staples Center for the squad.

Former Laker Alex Caruso is making his return to the city for the first time since leaving for Chicago during free agency, so that will be a key storyline to watch for.

Bulls at Lakers notable injuries:

The Lakers have yet to submit an official injury report. LeBron James is reportedly returning soon, but there’s no clear timetable yet. Trevor Ariza, Kendrick Nunn and Austin Reaves will likely be ruled out.

For Chicago, second-year forward Patrick Williams is out for the foreseeable future with a wrist injury. Nikola Vucevic, the team’s star center, is out due to health and safety protocols. Coby White could make his season debut off the bench.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Bulls -1.5
  • Money line: Bulls -125 / Lakers +102
  • Over-under: 216.5

Advice and prediction

If the Lakers win this game, it’ll come down to executing as it did against the Miami Heat. Los Angeles made 3s and had arguably its best defensive game all season against a premier team. It’s not yet clear if the Bulls will remain a strong team come playoff time since it is a new roster, but Lonzo Ball and DeMar DeRozan have been great pickups so far. Chicago allows the fourth-fewest points but is last in attempted 3-pointers and 3-pointers made, though the squad is No. 7 in 3-point percentage.

It should be a close game, and the Anthony Davis-Tony Bradley matchup could be decisive. Russell Westbrook will also need to make a difference against Chicago’s defensively elite guards.

Take the Bulls minus-1.5, Bulls minus-125 and the under 216.5.

Prediction: Bulls 105, Lakers 101

Rockets at Grizzlies: Prediction, point spread, odds, over/under, betting picks

Houston (1-12) has lost four straight versus the spread, and Monday’s game at Memphis on the second night of a back-to-back won’t be easy.

Monday’s game between the Grizzlies and Rockets features Houston’s Kevin Porter Jr. facing off against yet another star point guard in the form of rising Memphis star Ja Morant. We have the latest point spread, money line odds and over-under number, as well as all the information you need to make the smartest bet on Tipico Sportsbook.

The game, which kicks off a four-game road trip for the young and reeling Rockets (1-12), tips off at 7 p.m. CT and can be viewed or streamed via AT&T SportsNet Southwest and NBA League Pass. After Sunday’s blowout loss to Phoenix, Houston has now lost 11 straight games.

For Porter, Monday’s game versus Memphis will be the third straight outing that he’s gone up against an elite opposing point guard. On Friday, he played quite well against Portland’s Damian Lillard, but Sunday’s results versus Chris Paul and the Suns were not as encouraging.

Rockets at Grizzlies notable injuries:

The Grizzlies have a clean injury report, which the Rockets also did in their most recent game. However, Houston is not required to officially release an injury report for the Memphis game until midday Monday, since it’s the second game of a back-to-back. John Wall remains out due to a mutual decision for him not to play this season, with Houston prioritizing minutes for the development of younger players.

Projected lineups are based on each team’s game notes, though it should be noted that Houston head coach Stephen Silas indicated after Sunday’s game that changes to the lineup and/or rotation were a possibility.

Projected Lineups

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Grizzlies -10.5
  • Money line: Rockets +470 / Grizzlies -700
  • Over-under: 219.5

Advice and prediction

Just over a week ago, the Rockets were losing games, but they were consistently more competitive than expected. Since then, they’ve lost their last four outings by eight or more points, including as a home favorite versus lowly Detroit and in Sunday’s home blowout. It’s hard to have confidence in Monday bringing a much different result for the young and rebuilding squad, less than 24 hours later and in a different city.

Prediction: Grizzlies 110, Rockets 98

Suns at Rockets: Prediction, point spread, odds, over/under, betting picks

The Suns (8-3) enter with seven straight wins and are understandably big favorites over the host Rockets (1-11), who have lost 10 straight.

Sunday’s game between Phoenix and Houston features Kevin Porter Jr. facing off against yet another future Hall of Fame point guard when Chris Paul leads his Suns into Toyota Center. We have the latest point spread, money line odds and over-under number, as well as all the information you need to make the smartest bet on Tipico Sportsbook.

The game, which wraps up a three-game homestand for the Rockets, tips off at 6 p.m. CT and can be viewed or streamed via AT&T SportsNet Southwest and NBA League Pass.

The Rockets (1-11) enter Sunday badly needing a win, having lost their last 10 games in a row. Meanwhile, the defending Western Conference champion Suns (8-3) enter with seven consecutive victories.

The good news is that Porter played well in Friday’s 12-point loss to Portland and earned major postgame praise from perennial All-Star guard Damian Lillard. But the guard competition remains steep heading into Sunday, with Paul and Devin Booker making Phoenix a clear favorite.

Suns at Rockets notable injuries:

The Rockets have a clean injury report. John Wall remains out due to a mutual decision for him not to play in games this season, with Houston prioritizing minutes for the development of younger players.

On the other side, Phoenix is listing starting center Deandre Ayton as doubtful due to a right lower leg contusion, which has caused him to miss the team’s last four games. Reserve wing Abdel Nader is questionable with left knee soreness, and Dario Šarić remains out as a result of the right ACL injury that he suffered in the 2021 NBA Finals.

Projected Lineups

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Suns -8.5
  • Money line: Rockets +340 / Suns -475
  • Over-under: 220.5

Advice and prediction

A week ago, the Rockets were losing games, but they were consistently more competitive than expected. Since then, they’ve lost their last three outings by eight or more points, including as a home favorite versus lowly Detroit. In each case, taking the opponent with the points would have been a winning bet. But with Porter heating up, we’re betting that the Rockets are due to finally beat the number. Picking them to win outright would be a stretch, but we’ll take Houston with the points.

Prediction: Suns 113, Rockets 105

Nets vs Thunder: Prediction, point spread, odds and betting picks

Our best bet for Sunday’s Nets-Thunder game, with odds from Tipico Sportsbook.

The Brooklyn Nets play the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on Tipico Sportsbook.

The game tips off at 7:00 p.m. and can be seen on YES Network.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Brooklyn Nets notable injuries:

Kyrie Irving (personal), Paul Millsap (personal) and Nic Claxton (illness) – All OUT

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook (make your bets here)

  • Point spread: Nets -9.5
  • Money line: Nets -410 / Thunder +310
  • Over-under: 213.5

Advice and prediction

Kevin Durant is going to score 20+ points, that’s pretty much guaranteed, so the Nets will have to depend on putting on a defensive masterclass to prevent a gritty Thunder team from escaping this game with a win. This is an ideal matchup for Brooklyn to win the battle on the glass too. If they could keep the turnovers down, the offense will come together in itself. It’s all a matter of who it’s going to come from, fortunately for the Nets, they have options. Take Brooklyn to cover.

Prediction: Nets 114, Thunder 98

Lakers vs. Timberwolves: Prediction, point spread, odds, over/under, betting picks

The betting information you need to know from the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Los Angeles Lakers play the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on Tipico Sportsbook.

The game tips off at 10:30 p.m. ET and can be seen on Spectrum SportsNet and Bally Sports North/Midwest/Kansas City.

Los Angeles (7-5) is on a two-game winning streak after beating the Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat. Malik Monk had a 27-point performance against the Heat, so with the number of injuries L.A. has, he’ll be critical alongside Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis.

The Timberwolves (3-7) are on a six-game losing streak after starting the year 3-1. Anthony Edwards has improved his scoring production in his second season, but the Wolves haven’t been able to pull out wins lately.

Timberwolves at Lakers notable injuries:

Lakers: OUT – LeBron James, Trevor Ariza, Talen Horton-Tucker, Kendrick Nunn, Austin Reaves; Questionable – Rajon Rondo; Probable – Anthony Davis

Timberwolves: Only McKinley Wright IV (G League) is ruled out.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Lakers -2.5
  • Money line: Lakers -135 / Timberwolves +110
  • Over-under: 223.5

Advice and prediction

The odds are significantly close for this one. It’ll come down to the battle between Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Davis, especially with Davis needing to play at the five more often to counter Towns’ punches down low. The Lakers will also have to slow down Anthony Edwards, so one of Avery Bradley or Kent Bazemore will have to be key. Malik Monk said he wants to kill his defenders; can he do that against the notorious Patrick Beverley?

Based on how L.A. played against the Heat, the momentum could continue. Take the Lakers minus-2.5, Lakers minus-135 and the under 223.5.

Prediction: Lakers 108, Timberwolves 101

Thunder vs. Kings: Prediction, point spread, odds, over/under, betting picks

Our best bet for Friday’s Thunder vs. Kings game, with odds from Tipico Sportsbook.

The streaking Oklahoma City Thunder take on the Sacramento Kings on Friday night, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on Tipico Sportsbook.

The game tips off at 7 p.m. CT and can be seen on Bally Sports Oklahoma.

The Thunder (4-6) are on a three-game winning streak, with wins over the Lakers, Spurs and Pelicans. The Kings (5-7) have dropped three consecutive games entering Friday’s matchup.

Kings at Thunder notable injuries:

Oklahoma City: No players are injured, but Isaiah Roby, Theo Maledon and Vit Krejci (G League, on assingment) are all out.

Sacramento: Tyrese Haliburton (low back tightness) and Terence Davis (left ankle soreness) are questionable.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook (place your bets here)

  • Point spread: Kings -4.5 / Thunder +4.5
  • Money line: Kings -190 / Thunder +155
  • Over-under: 219.5

Advice and prediction

Oklahoma City has covered the spread in four consecutive games, and the under has hit in five straight Thunder games. The Kings, however, are capable of explosive scoring nights, and also have a bottom-seven defense, ranking 24th in defensive rating, while also playing with a top-seven pace. Betting the spread either way here feels like a trap, but we should see more points than in a typical Thunder game on Friday. I’m taking the over 219.5 here.

Prediction: Kings 118, Thunder 112
