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

The betting information you need for the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers.

The Los Angeles Lakers play the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday, 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 or Spectrum SportsNet.

Los Angeles (5-4) is coming off a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in which L.A. blew a 19-point second-quarter lead and fell apart in the final minutes to squander a potential four-game winning streak.

Portland (4-5) just defeated the Indiana Pacers Friday, so they will have less rest when the Lakers come into town. The Blazers have started slow because star guard Damian Lillard is shooting 33.7% overall and 21.7% from deep, uncharacteristic numbers for the franchise cornerstone.

Lakers at Trail Blazers notable injuries:

Lakers: OUT – LeBron James (abdominal), Trevor Ariza (ankle), Talen Horton-Tucker (thumb), Kendrick Nunn (knee); Questionable – Anthony Davis (thumb); Probable – Dwight Howard (neck)

The Blazers have not yet submitted an injury report.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Trail Blazers -5.5
  • Money line: Trail Blazers -230 / Lakers +180
  • Over-under: 222.5

Advice and prediction

The Lakers are finally the underdogs in a game this season, which makes sense given how the team has played without LeBron. And since Davis is questionable with a thumb injury, it could make matters worse for L.A. The Blazers, on the other hand, should have its usual starting lineup pioneered by Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, and though the team has often struggled, this might be the game where the table starts turning.

Take the Trail Blazers minus-5.5,  Trail Blazers minus-230 and the under 222.5.

Prediction: Trail Blazers 109, Lakers 100

For the 76ers, they’ll be without several players on Saturday. Tobias Harris and Isaiah Joe are out due to the health and safety protocol. Danny Green is out with a hamstring injury and Furkan Korkmaz is out with a wrist injury. Philadelphia is also still without Ben Simmons.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Bulls -3.5

  • Over-under: 214.5

Advice and prediction

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

After going “under” in each of their first six games, Houston’s offense is finally clicking. They’ve hit “over” in two straight outings.

Saturday’s game between the Rockets (1-7) and Denver Nuggets (4-4) is the fourth of a five-game road trip for Houston, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We have the latest point spread, money line odds and over-under number, as well as the information you need to make the smartest bet on Tipico Sportsbook.

The game tips off at 4 p.m. Central and can be viewed or streamed via AT&T SportsNet Southwest and NBA League Pass.

Led by Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr. and Christian Wood, the young Rockets enter with six straight losses. However, they could be more dangerous than their lowly record appears. The competition against probable playoff teams has been steep, and they led well into the second half in a pair of competitive road losses to the Suns and Lakers.

As usual, the Nuggets (4-4) are led by reigning MVP Nikola Jokic in the middle and rising star Michael Porter Jr. on the wing. It’s a rare Saturday afternoon tip, which should enable the Rockets to reach the second stop of their back-to-back journey (San Francisco – Golden State) in enough time to get a full night’s rest prior to Sunday’s late game.

Rockets at Nuggets notable injuries:

Reserve forward Danuel House Jr. (right foot sprain) and starting center Daniel Theis (sore right big toe) have missed Houston’s last four and two games, respectively. While House is listed on the injury report as out, Theis is questionable. The veteran big man could be important, since he appears to be Houston’s best option to defend Jokic.

For the Nuggets, Vlatko Cančar is out with a left hip strain, while star guard Jamal Murray is out due to the left knee ACL injury he suffered late last season. Those are the only two injuries on Denver’s injury report.

Projected Lineups

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Nuggets -11.5
  • Money line: Rockets +550 / Nuggets -850
  • Over-under: 216.5 points

Advice and prediction

After going under in each of their first six games of the 2021-22 season, Houston’s offense has finally taken flight during this week’s close losses to the Lakers and Suns. The Rockets averaged 114 points in those games, with the over easily cashing in both instances.

On the other hand, Denver enters Saturday with the NBA’s No. 4 defensive unit, and the potential return of Theis (for defensive purposes) could make for a slight downgrade on offense. We’ll anticipate a slight course correction by the Rockets after two high-scoring games.

Prediction: Nuggets 115, Rockets 101

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

Our best bet for Friday’s Warriors vs. Pelicans game at Chase Center.

The Golden State Warriors play the New Orleans Pelicans 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. PT and can be seen on ESPN.

Warriors vs. Pelicans notable injuries:

Warriors: Klay Thompson (injury recovery) and James Wiseman (injury recovery) are out.

Pelicans: Zion Williamson (right foot fracture) and Daulton Hommes (right fibular stress fracture) are out. Brandon Ingram (right hip contusion) and Herbert Jones (concussion protocol) are questionable.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Warriors -9.5
  • Money line: Warriors -600 / Pelicans +420
  • Over-under: 216.5

Advice and prediction

The Pelicans have lost five games in a row, have the worst record in the Western Conference (1-8) and have the unenviable task of facing a Warriors squad playing magnificent defense at the moment.

We’ve seen the Warriors start slowly in games, but Golden State is coming off two solid performances against the Thunder and Hornets, both of which resulted in double-digit wins and easy covers. If Brandon Ingram misses another game for the Pelicans, the big question is whether New Orleans can get to 95 points on Friday night.

I expected this spread to be even bigger, so I’m taking the Warriors minus-9.5 very comfortably.

Prediction: Warriors 117, Pelicans 97

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

The best bets for the game between the Charlotte Hornets and Sacramento Kings for Friday’s game.

The Charlotte Hornets play the Sacramento Kings 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 p.m. ET and can be seen on Bally Sports SE.

The Hornets are coming off a tough double-digit loss to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday while the Kings are looking to build on their victory against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday.

Hornets at Kings notable injuries:

For the Hornets, LaMelo Ball is listed as probable with a right hip contusion. Forward P.J. Washington is doubtful with a left elbow hyperextension.

For the Kings, there are no injuries to report.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Kings -1.5
  • Money line: Kings -117 / Hornets -103
  • Over-under: 226.5

Advice and prediction

Following the Hornets underwhelming performance against the Warriors on Wednesday, Charlotte is primed and ready to bounce back on their West Coast road trip. Look for the Hornets to get the victory by covering the spread and hitting the over.

Prediction: Hornets 122, Kings 114

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

The best bets as the Los Angeles Lakers look for revenge against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Los Angeles Lakers play the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline 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. PT and can be seen on Spectrum SportsNet and Bally Sports Southwest/Oklahoma/Midwest/Kansas City.

Los Angeles (5-3) has won three straight games, and that could turn into four if a 26-point lead isn’t blown again, which is what happened the last time the Lakers played the Thunder. Fortunately for L.A., LeBron James should be available this time around to help control the game if a similar situation transpired.

Oklahoma City (1-6) has only defeated the Lakers so far. The young team has shown flashes led by Shai Gilgeous Alexander’s scoring and Josh Giddey’s passing in the backcourt, but now the youngsters must face an L.A. team with its best player back.

Thunder at Lakers notable injuries:

Lakers: OUT – Trevor Ariza (ankle), Kendrick Nunn (knee), Talen Horton-Tucker (thumb)

Questionable: LeBron James (ankle), Dwight Howard (neck); Probable: Anthony Davis (ankle), Wayne Ellington (hamstring)

Thunder: Questionable – Luguentz Dort (shoulder), Gabriel Deck (heel)

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Lakers -13.5
  • Money line: Lakers -1200 / Thunder +700
  • Over-under: 215.5

Advice and prediction

The Lakers had a minus-6.5 spread last time against the Thunder, but that has jumped by more than half as the game will be in Staples Center this time around with James back in the lineup. However, even with James, the Lakers couldn’t dominate a young Houston Rockets team in consecutive games, and the Thunder already have experience against L.A. this season.

Plus, both teams will be motivated to bring everything because of the incident that happened between Russell Westbrook and Darius Bazley at the end of the last matchup.

Take the Thunder plus-13.5, Lakers minus-1200 and the under 215.5.

Prediction: Lakers 108, Thunder 96

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

Led by Jalen Green, Tuesday’s game versus the Lakers was Houston’s first “over” this season. Devin Booker will offer another stern test.

Thursday’s game between the Rockets (1-6) and Phoenix Suns (3-3) is the midpoint of a five-game road trip for Houston, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We have the latest point spread, money line odds and over-under number, as well as the information you need to make the smartest bet on Tipico Sportsbook.

The game tips off at 9:00 p.m. Central and can be viewed or streamed via AT&T SportsNet Southwest and NBA League Pass.

Led by the likes of Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr., and Christian Wood, the young Rockets (1-6) enter with five straight losses. However, they could be more dangerous than their lowly record looks, since the competition has been steep — and they’re coming off Tuesday’s strong performance that nearly resulted in a win over the Lakers in Los Angeles.

As usual, the Suns (3-3) are led by a veteran backcourt of perennial All-Stars in Chris Paul and Devin Booker. It will be yet another tough test for Green and Porter, who are just 19 and 21 years old, respectively.

Rockets at Suns notable injuries:

For Houston, Danuel House Jr. will miss a third consecutive game due to a right foot sprain, while Daniel Theis is questionable with soreness in his right great toe. Theis missed Tuesday’s game with the injury, which allowed Sengun to make the first start of his young NBA career.

The Rockets might catch a break in the other direction, however, since Suns center Deandre Ayton is questionable with a right lower leg contusion. He did not play in Phoenix’s last game due to the injury. Reserve guard Cameron Payne, who has missed four straight games for the Suns, is questionable with a right hamstring strain. Dario Šarić is out due to the ACL injury he suffered during the 2021 NBA Finals.

Projected Lineups

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Suns -10.5
  • Money line: Rockets +470 / Suns -700
  • Over-under: 217.5 points

Advice and prediction

Tuesday’s game versus the Lakers was the first time this season that a Houston game has gone “over” the over-under point total. Phoenix ranks in the middle of the pack on defense and doesn’t have athletic defenders in the mold of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, so it could be an opportunity for Green, Porter, and Wood to put up more numbers.

On the other hand, with two star veteran guards available to close out the game, it’s hard to see the Rockets getting a straight-up win.

Prediction: Suns 115, Rockets 107

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 Hornets are coming off a loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, where they fell behind by double-digits in the first half and couldn’t quite fight their way back into the game.

Hornets at Warriors notable injuries:

For the Hornets, there are no injuries to report.

For the Warriors, Damion Lee is listed as day-to-day with a right shoulder injury and James Wiseman is out as he continues to rehab his knee injury.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Warriors -6.5
  • Money line: Warriors -270 / Hornets +210
  • Over-under: 226.5

Advice and prediction

The Hornets have played well to start the season but Wednesday might just be their toughest matchup to date. Look for Golden State to get the win while they cover the spread and hit the over.

Prediction: Warriors 120, Hornets 109

The best bets for the game between the Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.

The Chicago Bulls play the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, 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. ET and can be seen on NBCS Chicago.

The Bulls are coming off a comeback victory against the Boston Celtics on Monday, where they fought back from a 19-point deficit, led by DeMar DeRozan’s 37-point performance.

Bulls at 76ers notable injuries:

The Bulls will again be without Patrick Williams and Coby White.

For the 76ers, they’ll be without Tobias Harris, who is in the health and safety protocol. Joel Embiid, who rested on Monday, should be good to go on Wednesday.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: 76ers -2.5
  • Money line: 76ers -135 / Bulls +110
  • Over-under: 215.5

Advice and prediction

If Joel Embiid is in fact back in the starting lineup for the 76ers, that changes the course of this game completely. As hot as the Bulls have been, look for the 76ers to cover the spread while hitting the slight over.

Prediction: 76ers 110, Bulls 107

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

The best bets as the Los Angeles Lakers face the Houston Rockets for the second time in three days.

The Los Angeles Lakers play the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, 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 AT&T SportsNet Southwest.

Los Angeles (4-3) is hoping to win three in a row after beating the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Rockets in the last two games. L.A., however, allowed Houston to make a run in the fourth quarter and made the game closer than it should’ve been. The Lakers cannot afford that to happen again because Houston (1-5) can bounce back from previous mistakes and make it a more competitive game.

Rockets at Lakers notable injuries:

Lakers: OUT – Trevor Ariza (ankle), Kendrick Nunn (knee), Talen Horton-Tucker (thumb)

Questionable – LeBron James (ankle), Wayne Ellington (hamstring), Dwight Howard (neck); Probable – Anthony Davis (knee)

Rockets: OUT – Danuel House (foot)

Questionable – Jae’Sean Tate (ankle), Daniel Theis (toe)

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

  • Point spread: Lakers -9.5
  • Money line: Lakers -650 / Rockets +440
  • Over-under: 217.5

Advice and prediction

Based on how the Lakers performed the last time, it theoretically should be another easy win. Los Angeles changed the lineup to give Houston’s young guards fits, and the general defensive pressure led to 27 generated turnovers. However, the Lakers cannot keep letting the foot off the gas pedal because Houston can still pull what the Oklahoma City Thunder recently did.

Assuming the Lakers don’t, take the Lakers minus-9.5, Lakers minus-660 and the under 217.5 since the last game reached 180 total points between the teams.

Prediction: Lakers 110, Rockets 94
