Thursday’s NBA acca
Brooklyn Nets @ Detroit Pistons
Both teams have enjoyed two nights off. The Nets beat the 76ers in their last game, while the Pistons lost to the Heat. Detroit’s record this season is 9-52.
Too much is being made of the players are without against a terrible, terrible team. Detroit are improving but we never see a number this small.
Also, when two teams winning 40% of the time meet and the spread is -4 or less either way, the road team is covering the spread in 60% of games over the past several seasons.
Miami Heat @ Dallas Mavericks
This looks like a good spot to back the Miami Heat. There’s every chance they win outright, but we’ll take the additional handicap of +7.5 for some security.
The Heat are on a 7-0 ATS run when facing a winning home team and they’ve been playing good basketball lately, winning seven of eight.
Chicago Bulls @ Golden State Warriors
Both of these teams played last night. Chicago had to play in Utah and won by two, while the Warriors enjoyed home comforts in a 125-90 demolition on the Bucks.
Chicago had the tougher task but they’ve been playing very well lately and such a big win puts Golden State in all sorts of letdown territory.
Phoenix Suns @ Toronto Raptors
The Raptors have had two days off since losing by 41 points to the Pelicans. Wins like that always sting and this is a capable enough team, so they could bounce back.
Phoenix have lost four of seven and covered the spread in two. They just beat the Nuggets by 10, which was a huge win, and face the Celtics on Sunday and they may overlook Toronto.
San Antonio Spurs @ Sacramento Kings
The Spurs improved as soon as Victor Wembanyama moved to center but he will miss this evening’s contest, so Domantas Sabonis can do what he wants in the paint.
They’ve been extremely competitive against the spread despite losing six of eight, but that could tip the balance. Sacramento beat a healthy Spurs team by five a few games back.
