Opening my every article with something about COVID-19 every time, when I place my NBA bets, it is difficult to believe how many players are missing from the fray. This season has seen desperation from athletes, teams, and the league itself as 10-day deal players also show that they have a right to belong in the league. Some “replacement players”(I disagree with this term) or I’d say some heavily talented ball players who have shown that when given a chance, they can showcase their full arsenal, many of them like Isaiah Thomas and Greg Monroe have enjoyed superstar status after all. In such a state, some teams like Jazz, Warriors, Suns, etc. have done a wonderful job of staying afloat and play some quality basketball.
Washington Wizards vs Cleveland Cavaliers
Betting Odds and Prediction
Wizards vs Cavaliers Prediction: My favourite of the day is the Washington Wizards vs Cleveland Cavaliers match-up. Why? Well, I want to see through whom the Cavaliers run a playmaking style of offense and generate quality looks for inside and outside players like Love and Mobley. I think for the Wizards, Corey Kispert can shine if given 25+ minutes again. I wish Beal plays but then again, Spencer Dinwiddie has been playing his best basketball in months, scoring 20+, dishing 10+ assists. Can the Cavaliers players Love and Mobley have a big impact? What will Wizards’ Kyle Kuzma bring to the table?
Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors
Betting Odds and Prediction
Nuggets vs Warriors Prediction: I think the Warriors will be back in this game and put on a show. I see Stephen Curry getting a 30+ points night and Poole and Wiggins dominating the scene. I think the Warriors will hit their outside shots in this game and their bench will look more deep unless there are more absentees. For the Nuggets, Will Barton will need to step up for a 16+ points night I believe. I see the Warriors taking this game with an all-out offense from the beginning.
