NBA Predictions & Best Bets | Nuggets vs 76ers | Kings vs Suns | Tip-Off for Jan 16
Steve Merill back here on wager talk TV taking a look at your early Prime Time matchup tonight on ES uh TNT rather Tuesday night TNT nuggets and Sixers just three games on the board but this a pretty big match up between two teams are contenders in each conference and
Hopefully we’ll have the full lineup for both teams the injury report is out for Denver here early afternoon on Tuesday and most of their key players are on there as always but they’re listed as probable Aaron Gordon probable joic probable Jamal Murray probable Caldwell Pope probable so it looks like they’re
Playing Philadelphia as of early afternoon has not submitted their injury report and we do have to worry a little bit about Joel embiid is this is a backtack situation as they just played the Houston Rockets yesterday on Monday at home a 124 115 win uh did not play
Before that until the previous Friday so it’s only their second game in a Four game four- day span so I do think em will play and the betting markets feel that way as well at least if you look at the prop markets um there are player Point props for all the players I
Mentioned as of Tuesday afternoon and even if embiid as listed as out 76ers have actually stepped up at times short-handed by the way embiid’s player prop at DraftKings 32 and a half over minus 140 so the Betty Market thinks he’s playing tonight and I would hope in
A prime time National TV matchup he will I think the NBA is probably maybe under the radar telling these teams hey look if you’re G to sit them don’t do it in these Prime Time spots uh so the line looks a little cheap here it opened
Around one did drop to pick them but now we’re seeing a climb back to one and if Philadelphia’s at full strength they’re probably the preferred side here now on their strong home court and this is a Denver team that’s off to a great start 28 and 13 the defending World Champs but
They’re a fatigued team they’re an aging team and just last week they said they’re getting a little tired and it’s showing on the point spread side of things failing to cover now four of their last six games and on Sunday they beat Indiana at home but only won by
Eight as a 10-point favorite um as far as the total in this game Denver’s gone over four their last six Philly though has been an under machine they went under four straight and five of their last seven before overs and two of their last three but still in a high-profile
Game playoff atmosphere under is usually the way to W look and this line has been climbing today up to 231 now um it was a little bit earlier Kevin Dolan talked about this game it was in the 228 229 range but I think that’s because once again the markets expect embiid to play
And that’s why the total is climbing higher under would be my opinion on the total here and I’d lean towards Philadelphia minus one on the side and don’t forget my official college basketball Best Bets tonight are available right now Steve Merrill wager talk and also an instant 20% discount on any

Play for the late night National TV game at 10:30 Eastern the night on Tuesday on TNT Thunder heading to LA to play the Clippers pretty big Revenge spot for the LA Clippers here they’ve been playing good basketball over the past month or so but one game which they got blown out
Was a 19point loss back on December 21st less than a month ago on the road at OKC 134 to 115 OKC was actually a six and a half Point favorite in that game and they won easily obviously now the LA Clippers are the six and a half Point
Home favorite and while the Thunder have been one of the best point spread teams in the league now for the past couple Seasons very deep team I think the Clippers get their Revenge here whenever we get a Class A Team not only in a Revenge spot but also off a loss it
Makes short card and that’s the situation here the Clippers just lost at Minnesota on Sunday as a one-point favorite terrible shooting game just 43% and an even worse defensive game given up 57% from the field that’ll get their attention as they return home here for this high-profile National TV game and I
Liked a focus spot with the Revenge motive you know revenge is often overused in all sports and in the NBA these guys go through the motions but the key to handicap in the NBA is finding focused situational spots especially with class A teams I think
These are both class A teams and why we get the home team with Revenge off a loss it’s worth a look here Clipper still played excellent basketball despite that loss at Minnesota they’d won three straight before that and they’d won eight of their prior nine
Before that so I look for a good bounce back here and this line might seem high but it’s high for a reason because it’s a great situational setup for the LA Clippers tonight minus the six and a half that’s your late night game at 10 o’clock Eastern not 10:30 10:00 Eastern

Hot over a 65% run over the past week in football and basketball combined I’ve got more strong Best Bets for Tuesday along with daily free plays check it out Steve Marell wagertalk.com Sacramento heads to Phoenix on Tuesday night looking to get the edge and what’s
Been a tight two and two split out east across their four previous games J in this current road trip but not a whole lot of time to recover either after that grin 143 to 142 double overtime loss against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday you know both teams were incredibly hot
From the floor in that game hitting well over 50% the pace from the floor with you know Sacramento looking to have done just about enough lat on in that game to get the victory when dearon Fox made a second free throw to take a two-point lead with only five seconds left in the
Game but you know that was before Damien Lillard popped up right at the buzzer with a 32 foot thre pointer from Milwaukee that you know gave him the one-point lead and the win in that one as a result that was a harsh way to end the game for Sacramento it’ll be
Interesting to see if they can dust themselves off ahead of this one in time for the challenge of a somewhat resurging Phoenix Suns team on home court later tonight you know the Suns have won seven the last 10 games overall they look strong offensively across their last two games also with the Suns
Hitting over 60% from the floor against the Portland Trail bazzers last timeout which was the second best shooting Mark in the entire league as well as Bradley baale and Devon Booker combining for 68 points against the Los Angeles Lakers last Thursday night also and the Suns ranking top five in the league in
Scoring offense shooting percentage fast break points and offensive efficiency across their last three starts combined Phoenix has lost both of the two previous meetings this season against the Sacramento Kings but I don’t expect them to lose a third here tonight as I like the Suns to win and cover this one
At home on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings in terms of a Best Bet however I’m going to turn over to another game on tonight’s card and look at the total in the Denver and Philadelphia matchup but just before I do I I want to remind everyone that you
Can get 20% off any pass at where you talk from a one day to a one year when using code super 20 at check out that’s s u p R2 super 20 so make sure and lock that in before it expires at the end of the
Week and save bigam was sent to be a bumper 2024 over at w you talk we turning back to the best better ever this is the only player I’ve fired on for tonight and that’s the under 228 and a half between the nuggets and Sixers later tonight in Philadelphia you know Denver looked
Really tight defensively against New Orleans on Sunday they held the Pelicans just 27.6% from the perimeter in that game that ranked top five in the league overall and the Nuggets also rank top five in the league an opponent three point shooting R this season also top
Five in number of turnovers per game and also number one in opponent block percentage at home as well and that goes up against the Phil Philadelphia 76ers team tonight that not only held the Sacramento Kings to just 93 points on Friday but you know they also rank as
The third best team in the league this season in defensive efficiency also with the cherry on top and that Sixers of really strong history play En titer games in this type of situation as well with seven of Philadelphia’s last eight matchups overall going under the posted total and facing the team with a
Straight up winning record so take the under 228 and a half points tonight in the battle between the nuggets and the Sixers in Philadelphia best bet that’ll do it for me don’t forget to like the video as always and drop your own predictions for this match up down in
