SUNDAY NBA PLAYER MULTI
SGM: Wemby 25+ Pts | Young 10+ Ast | Allen 12+ Reb | Powell 20+ Pts

Only four games have been scheduled on the Sunday slate this week, all of which a very miserable contests, alas we can still find some value.
This weekend I’m looking to take a player prop from each fixture to create a four-leg multi.

Spurs vs Utah
Both of these sides will likely finish in the draft lottery positions come the end of the season. Though Spurs fans will at least be treated to another season of the Alien, Wemby. The Slender man picked up 25 points in his last game against the Jazz and I’m taking him to drop 20+ this time around.

Hawks vs Bull
Both of these outfits will likely be tussling for positions in the play-in, neither have top 6 potential, while at the same time their not quiet at the “blow-it-up” stage.
My player pick here is Trae Young, although his shooting numbers have been sporadic, he continues to find his teammates, I have him for 10+ assists.

Cavs vs Nets
This one should be all Cavs. Cleveland are 8-0 to start the season and outclass Brooklyn across every position.
Jarrett Allen has been super consistant on the boards for the Cavs and I have him grabbing 12+ rebounds here.

Clippers vs Raptors
Another two sides likely to struggle this season.
With Paul George out of the building and Kawhi still sidelined, Norman Powell has become the Clips primary scoring option. I have norm to drop an easy 20 piece here.

NBA Tips, Saturday Nov 9

LOS ANGELES LAKERS VS PHILADELPHIA 76ERS
SGM: Maxey & Davis to score 25+ Points

The 76ers look to revive their season when they hit the road to take on the Lakers.

The Sixers are 1-5 (at publish) and are dearly missing star duo Joel Embiid and Paul George.

PG13 has now returned to the line-up, but the Tyrese Maxey is still the major ball handler for the Philly outfit.

I’m backing both Maxey and Anthony Davis to hit 25+ points each in what should be an entertaining match-up.

SACRAMENTO KINGS VS LA CLIPPERS
Kings to Win & Sabonis to have 15+ points & 10+ assists

The 4-3 Kings host the 3-4 Clippers in a California showdown. (at publish).

All four of the Kings wins have come in their last five games, with their only loss in that period coming in OT.

Meanwhile, the Clippers have slumped one one win in their last four starts, with sides figuring out their Harden heavy rotation.

I’m backing the Kings to get the job done combined with a 15+ point double-double from Domantas Sabonis.

NBA Tips, Friday Nov 8

CHICAGO BULLS VS MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES
SGM: LaVine & C. White 2+ 3PT FGs & Edwards 3+ 3PT FGs

The Bulls welcome the Timberwolves to the Windy City for what should be an exciting fixture for the neutrals.

The Bulls are 3-4 across their opening 7 games, they’re moving the ball quickly and looking to put up volume 3’s.

No player has hit more 3Pt field goals than Anthony Edwards this season, the young star is averaging 5.1 3’s per game, while shooting at a high clip of 45%!

Meanwhile, leading the way for the Bulls is Coby White and Zach LaVine, who are both averaging just under 4 makes per game from deep.

I’m throwing up a perimeter multi, backing both White and LaVine to hit 2+ 3PT FGs, combined with Edwards to hit 3+ from distance.

MILWAUKEE BUCKS VS UTAH JAZZ
Bucks to Win & Giannis to have 30+ Pts & 10+ Reb

Two side with a 1-6 record are set to meet in Milwaukee as the Bucks play host to the Jazz.

A poor start was expected for Utah, who are in the midst of a rebuild, and heavily in the hunt for Cooper Flagg.

Meanwhile, the Bucks are easily the league’s biggest underachievers through the first two weeks, with rumours already beginning to swirl around the future of Giannis at the franchise.

Milwaukees poor start can’t be chalk down to the Greek Freak’s output, with the Power Forward averaging a whopping 31-12-6 across his 6 starts.

I’m taking the Bucks to claim their 2nd win of the season, combined with a 30+ point & 10+ rebound night from Giannis.

NBA Tips, Thursday Nov 7

Dallas Mavericks vs Chicago Bulls
Chicago Bulls (+11) $1.85

The Mavs looks to bounce back from a surprise home defeat to the Pacers, when they welcome the Bulls to Dallas.

Chicago has started this season better than most pundits expected, pushing the ball up the court with pace and shooting volume threes.

The Bulls are 3-4 across two weeks of action and 2-2 on the road, but are now two games without a win off the back of a disappointing showing to Utah.

Alternatively, the Mavs are 4-3 to start the season, despite starting six games as the bookies favourite.

Dallas are 2-4 against the spread as favourites this season, and I don’t think they be covering the double digit points line here.

Boston Celtics vs Golden State Warriors
SGM: Tutam & Hield to each have 3+ 3PT FG

The 2024 and 2022 NBA Champions meet in Boston as the Celts play host to the Warriors.

Both sides enter this fixture in ominous form, the Dubs have started the season 6-1, 4-0 on the road, while the Celts are 7-1, and 2-0 at TD Garden.

Jayson Tatum has started the season on fire, averaging 30-7-5 and will be asked to do a lot of heavy lifting in this game with Jaylen Brown sidelined through injury.

On the Dubs’ side of the fence, new signing Buddy Hield has filled the Play Thompson void seamlessly, averaging 22 points off the bench, hitting 4.7 three point field goals per game.

I’m backing both Tatum and Hield to hit 3+ 3PT field goals.

NBA Tips, Tuesday Nov 5

TUESDAY NBA MULTI
OKC, Cavs, Mavs, Suns all to Win $2.80

Before you tune into the race that stops the nation, there’s money to be had in a massive 15 game NBA slate.

Leg 1: OKC to Win
Two weeks into the season, there are just two sides yet to taste defeat, in the West, OKC are taking charge with a 6-0 record, which they should easily extend to 7-0 with a victory at home over a Magic outfit without an injured Paolo Banchero.

Leg 2: Cavs to Win
Leading the way in the East is the Cleveland Cavaliers, who currently hold the league’s best record of 7-0. They’ll take to the court against the side sitting dead last in the conference, Milwaukee Bucks. The Cavs have already bettered the Bucks on the road, and I’m backing them to double down with a win at home.

Leg 3: Mavs to Win
Next up I am taking the Maverick to defeat the Pacers in Dallas. Indiana are the only side to better the Celtics this season, but outside of that game they have been a massive letdown, especially on the road, where they are 1-3. Alternatively, the Mavs are 3-1 at home and looking sharp.

Leg 4: Suns to Win
The Suns are on the rise, while the Sixers are free falling. Philly are still without Joel Embiid here, and are currently languishing at the bottom of the East with a 1-5 record. Meanwhile Phoenix are 5-1, and 3-0 on their home court.

NBA Tips, Monday Nov 4

MONDAY NBA MULTI
Mavs to Win & Over total Points in NOLA v ATL & Nets to Win

It’s a quiet day on the NBA front, with just three games on the slate.

Dallas def Orlando
The Magic got off to a flying start this season, but will be without their star Forward Paolo Banchero for this match. I have the Mavs taking this one at home.

Atlanta vs New Orleans: Take the Overs
Both sides have looked horrible early on this season, the Hawk are ranked 28th in defence, while the Pels are also hemeraging points. I’m avoiding the H2H market, instead backing the overs here.

Brooklyn def Detroit
The Nets have started the 2024/25 season with something to prove. The Ragtag team has scraped together results against the Bucks and the Grizzlies, while taking the Nuggets to OT, I have them winning at home.

NBA Tips, Sunday Nov 3

PHILADELPHIA 76ERS VS MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES
Maxey 30+ Points

The Grizzlies travel to Philly to take on a Sixers outfit who are 0-2 at home and in desperate need of their star players to return.

In the absence of Embiid and Paul George, Tyrese Maxey has been balling out, averaging 32 points across his first four games, with one of the highest usage rates in the league.

I’m steering clear of the H2H market, instead backing Maxey to drop another 30 piece.

MILWAUKEE BUCKS VS CLEVELAND CAVALIERS
SGM: Mitchell 25+ Points & Garland 15+ Points

The Bucks head into this game in all sorts of trouble, with a 1-4 record and a defence ranked 5th worst in the league!

I’ve said previously, that point guards are running riot on Milwaukee’s perimeter D, demoted Dame to little more than a traffic cone.

I think both Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland will have a field day here.

I’m backing Mitchell for 25+ Points and Garland for 15+.

NBA Tips, Saturday Nov 2

CHARLOTTE HORNETS VS BOSTON CELTICS
Boston to Win & Over 232.5 Points

The Celts enter this clash off the back of their first defeat of the season, going down in overtime to the Indiana Pacers despite a late serge.

Meanwhile, the Hornets will be looking to secure their first back-to-back victories after seeing off the Raptors in a high scoring affair.

Boston has the highest ranked offence in the league at the moment, averaging 125.8 points across the opening five games, while Charlotte are ranked 4th with 118.5 points per game.

I have the Celts winning combined with the overs.

MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES VS DENVER NUGGETS
SGM: Edwards 3+ 3PT & Jokic 25+ Points

The Timberwolves take on the Nuggets for the first time since their crazy game 7 comeback in the 2nd round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Both sides enter this clash 2-2 on the season, both of Denver’s wins have come on the road, and have required overtime.

This game is going to be a battle of star power, the Nuggs have relied heavily on the output of Jokic this season, with their perimeter shooters failing at every turn, while Ant-man has been jacking up 3s like its going out of fashion!

I’m backing Edwards to hit 3+ 3Pt FGs and Jokic to score 25+ Points.

NBA Tips, Friday Nov 1

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES VS MILWAUKEE BUCKS
Ja to score 25+ Points

The Bucks are desperate to stop the rot, after going 1-4 across their opening four games, including surprise defeats to Chicago and Brooklyn.

The Grizzlies have endured a mixed start to the season, falling to both Houston and Chicago, while seeing off Utah and Orlando.

Milwaukees biggest pinpoint has been their defence, especially at the first point of attack against smaller guards, with Dame Lillard’s lack of speed and size being exploited.

I’m dipping into the player props markets here, backing Ja Morant to torch the Bucks backcourt, finishing with 25+ Points.

LA CLIPPERS VS PHOENIX SUNS
SGM: KD 25+ Points & Harden 10+ Assists

The Clippers and the Suns are set to meet for the second time this season, and for the second time at the new Intuit Dome, with Phoenix leading the series 1-0.

KD has shown no signs of ageing this season, averaging 29 points across his first four games, scoring 30+ on there occasions.

While, his former teammate, James Harden is propping up the offence for the Clippers, averaging 25 points, while leading the league in assists with 11.7 per game.

I’m going to explore a OKC old guard SGM here, taking KD to drop 25+ points and Harden to dish out 10+ dimes.

NBA Tips, Thursday Oct 31

INDIANA PACERS VS BOSTON CELTICS
Boston Celtics (-7) $1.92

The Pacers hope to halt a three-game losing streak when they welcome the 2024 NBA Champions to Indianapolis.

The Celts are 4-0 to start the season, covering the points line in three of those victories.

Boston have the highest ranked offence in the league, averaging 124.3 points across four games, with points differential of +15.

Alternatively, the Pacers are bellow average on both ends of the court, and still look to be finding their feet this season.

I’m backing the Celts to come into the Pacers home and wipe the floor with them.

OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER VS SAN ANTONIO SPURS
SGM: Chet & Wemby to Score 20+ Points & Have 10+ Boards

OKC look to go 4-0 to start the season when they welcome the Spurs to Oklahoma.

All eyes will be on the battle of the slender centres, as 2023/24 ROTY Wemby, goes head-to-head with his string bean rival in Chet Holmgren.

Chet has been a main driver of the Thunders success early in the season, with the big man averaging 24-13-3 across the first three fixtures, along with four blocks per game.

Alternatively, Victor has averaged a healthy 20-12-2 and 3 blocks across his opening three games.

I believe the tall timbers will be raring to get one up on each other, as such I’m backing them both to enjoy a big night out.
