Quick fire picks & predictions for NBA games scheduled Sunday October 23rd 2022.
(Australia: Monday October 24th)
We've picked out 4 games to tip, and also added a nice 4-leg multi bet to spice things up.
Portland Trailblazers at Los Angeles Lakers
Two teams with strong forward lines backed up by questionable defense should see a veritable hatful of points racked up. Whilst we can't make our minds up whether the Lakers will get their first win of the season, or whether the Trailblazers will pile in the misery, we like our Over (224.5) 1.88 pick (3-star pick)
| Team | Head to Head | Line | Over/Under |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portland Trailblazers | 2.35 | (+3.5) 1.88 | Over (224.5) 1.88 |
| Los Angeles Lakers | 1.60 | (-3.5) 1.93 | Under (224.5) 1.93 |
Utah Jazz at New Orleans Pelicans
Well it is pretty clear, the Pelicans are expected to absolutely batter the Jazz in this game. Utah are listed at just 1.30 to win the Head to Head, so we move our attention to the Line. And that's where we do our picking. Pelicans to beat the Line (-8.5) at odds of 1.95 for our 2-star pick.
| Team | Head to Head | Line | Over/Under |
|---|---|---|---|
| Utah Jazz | 3.55 | (+8.5) 1.87 | Over (229.5) 1.88 |
| New Orleans Pelicans | 1.30 | (-8.5) 1.95 | Under (229.5) 1.93 |
Sacramento Kings at Golden State Warriors
Golden State should get back to winning ways in what we see as a relatively straight forward game at home to Sacramento. There is no real value backing GSW to win the game at short odds of just 1.22, so we are picking the Warriors to beat the Line (-9.5) 1.88 (2-star pick)
| Team | Head to Head | Line | Over/Under |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sacramento Kings | 4.40 | (+9.5) 1.92 | Over (231.5) 1.93 |
| Golden State Warriors | 1.22 | (-9.5) 1.88 | Under (231.5) 1.88 |
Phoenix Suns at Los Angeles Clippers
The sportsbooks are predicting a tight game at the Crypto.com Arena, with the line set at just 1.5 points. Whenever we see a game handicapped so closely we generally look for an Over bet, and this game see the Over/Under set at 219.5, which we think is very doable.
Our 2-star pick here is Over (219.5) 1.93
| Team | Head to Head | Line | Over/Under |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phoenix Suns | 2.10 | (+1.5) 1.95 | Over (219.5) 1.93 |
| Los Angeles Clippers | 1.75 | (-1.5) 1.87 | Under (219.5) 1.88 |
Multi Bet
Finally a nice 1-star pick sees us build a 4-leg multi-bet at odds of 13.31 which would pay out $133.10 for a $10 bet
