NBA Trivia: Magic beat Warriors, Lakers beat Jazz, Trail Blazers beat Suns

Warriors VS Magic

The Warriors performed erratically in the away game and the Magic defeated the Warriors at home

National Basketball League Warriors VS Magic (+3.5)

Recommendation: Handicap loss

The Warriors have performed well recently and won 3 consecutive victories. In the last game, they easily defeated the Pelicans 124-106. The overall performance of the team in this game was good. Although Curry performed well Not good but not harmful. In this game, Curry scored 9 points on 2-for-11 shooting. Moody broke out at the beginning, hitting 7 three-pointers in the first quarter and scoring 32 points. Butler scored 18 points and 10 assists, Podemski scored 19 points off the bench, and Hield scored 11 points.

The Magic were reversed by the Rockets 113-117 after overtime in the last game. In this game, Wagner Jr. scored 29 points, Bane scored 26 points, Silva scored 13 points, and Black scored 18 points. This season, Silva and Black have grown significantly and are often active on the court. However, the Magic's current lineup depth due to injuries is not ideal, and there are not many people on the bench who can perform stably.

The betting index for this game gives the Warriors a handicap of 3.5 points. Curry didn't feel good in the last game. The team played relatively well overall, but whether the role players can continue to feel good is a question. The Magic's back line is relatively energetic and still has the ability to cause trouble to Curry. In addition, the Warriors' overall away performance this season is not ideal. I am optimistic that the Magic will defeat the Warriors at home and recommend a point handicap.

Celtics VS Nets

The outside three-pointers are in full bloom. The Green Army defeated the Nets in an away game.

American Professional Basketball League Celtics VS Nets (+11.5)

Recommendation: Handicap away win.

The Celtics have recently won 2 consecutive victories. In the last game, they beat the Clippers 121-118. In this game, Jaylen Brown once again scored 33 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. This season, he stepped up and became the team's main offensive point. Pritchard had a good outside touch in this game and hit 8 three-pointers, eventually scoring 30 points. White scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, and Garza scored 13 points off the bench.

The Nets easily defeated the Wizards 129-106 in the last game and won their second victory this season. It can be said that the Nets are also in a completely rebuilt situation this season, but the young players in the lineup have not seen outstanding performances. At present, the team's main attack point is still Porter Jr., Clarkston is active inside, but lacks a stable point guard on the outside to cooperate with him, so he has a lot less space to play. No. 8 pick Jieming's performance is quite average so far.

The betting index for this game gives the Celtics a handicap of 11.5 points. At present, the Nets are basically showing off, and the team's strength is relatively limited. The two winning teams this season are also weak teams, the Wizards and the Pacers. The suspense of the game is not great. The Celtics are expected to win easily away from home, and it is recommended to win away from home.

Pistons VS Hawks

Sit on the home front and show off their power. The Hawks end the Pistons' winning streak.

American Professional Basketball League Pistons VS Hawks (+1.5)

Recommendation: Handicap loss

The Pistons have been in hot form recently, winning 10 consecutive games and occupying the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Even though Cunningham has been absent due to injury recently, and Osar and Harris have also been affected by injuries, the team as a whole still has a good momentum. In the last game, the Pistons defeated the Pacers 127-112. Duren scored a double-double with 31 points and 15 rebounds. Duren has also been very active in the paint this season. Jenkins, as the starting point guard, has also performed well in recent games and once again contributed 26 points and 8 assists. Green contributed 20 points off the bench.

The Hawks are also in good form recently. They have won five consecutive games despite Trae Young being injured and absent. In the last game, they reversed the Suns 124-122. In this game, Jaylen Johnson scored 25 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, a near triple-double. This season, Johnson has become more and more stable and comprehensive. Okongwu scored 27 points, Walker scored 26 points, and Daniels scored 11 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals.

The betting index for this game has the Pistons handicap by 1.5 points. Recently, the two teams have continued their winning streak in the absence of their main players. It may be that the Pistons' overall record advantage makes the handicap more optimistic about the Pistons. However, the Eagles are playing at home, and the Eagles' front line has been hot recently. It is expected that the Eagles can defend their home court and end the Pistons' winning streak. It is recommended to handicap away losses.

Grizzlies vs Spurs

With core injuries, the Spurs can hardly do anything at home

National Basketball League Grizzlies vs Spurs (-7.5)

Recommendation: Handicap

The Spurs, who play at home, currently have a record of nine wins and four losses. The team defeated the visiting Kings 123-110 in the last game, finally stopping the decline of consecutive losses to the Warriors. In this game, the team's core Bunyama will continue to be absent, and the team is looking forward to winning under the leadership of Fox. In the last game against the Kings, Fox scored 28 points and 11 assists, and was the first contributor to the team's victory. This game is also the fourth of the Spurs' five consecutive home games, and they are about to end their sweet schedule.

The Grizzlies' current record in away games is four wins and ten losses. They are currently ranked in the lower reaches of the Western Conference. In the last game against the Cavaliers, the Grizzlies struggled with their opponents throughout the game and ultimately lost with regret. After losing to the Cavaliers, the team has also suffered four consecutive defeats. Although there are several big losses, it is reasonable because the opponents are relatively strong. In the absence of Morant, core inside line Jackson will have to take on more responsibilities.

The current handicap value offered by the sports betting is 7.5 points for the home team Spurs. The Grizzlies' performance this season is inconsistent with fans' expectations of them. In this game, the core players of both sides, Wenbanyama and Morant, will be absent, but Morant's absence will have a significantly smaller impact on the Grizzlies than Wenbanyama's injury.. In addition, after experiencing the highlights at the beginning of the season, the Spurs' recent state has not been too stable. Overall, this game is more suitable for the visiting Grizzlies to hold the bottom line. It is recommended to take the lead in handicap for this game.

Jazz vs Lakers

Continue to be stable, the Lakers easily beat the Jazz

American Professional Basketball League Jazz vs Lakers (-12.5)

Recommendation: Handicap win

The Lakers, who play at home, have a current record of ten wins and four losses, and the team is currently ranked at the forefront of the Western Conference. After losing to the Thunder in the strong Western Conference, the Lakers regained the feeling of winning with the Pelicans and Bucks. After winning two consecutive victories, they will also start a relatively easy schedule. Doncic's highlight performance this season and the integration of new aid Ayton have given Lakers fans more confidence. I believe that this team will surely burst out with stronger combat effectiveness after James returns.

After defeating the Bulls in double overtime in their last game on the road, the Jazz's current record has reached five wins and eight losses. The team is currently ranked in the middle or lower position of the Western Conference. Against the Bulls, Markkanen scored 47 points and George also scored 33 points. In addition, Collier and Sensabaugh on the bench also performed well, helping the team win the game in a thrilling manner. The Jazz will face the Lakers, Thunder and Warriors in the next few games, and the burden on Markkanen's shoulders will not be easy.

The current handicap offered by the sports betting is 12.5 points for the home team Lakers. Under the leadership of Doncic, the Lakers still showed stable performance. Facing weaker opponents during the regular season, the Lakers were still able to win without a fight. In addition, the handicap level given by the organization clearly reflects its optimism for the Lakers. Therefore, this game is more suitable for chasing the Lakers and recommends the handicap to win.

Suns vs. Trail Blazers

Guarding the home court, the Trail Blazers defeated the visiting Suns

American Professional Basketball League Suns vs. Trail Blazers (+1.5)

Recommendation: Handicap win

The Trail Blazers at home have six wins and seven losses. The team regrettably lost to the Mavericks, the last in the Western Conference, 133-138 last time. The Trail Blazers have lost four of their past five games, and they just defeated the weak Pelicans. Avdija has performed well this season. As the core of the team, his points per game have increased dramatically compared with last season. Sharp, Grant and others also performed well. If the young Trail Blazers can improve their defensive capabilities, they still have a promising future.

The Suns have eight wins and six losses in away games, and the team is temporarily ranked eighth in the Western Conference. After experiencing a slump in the first few games of the season, the Suns ushered in a small explosion. Since November, they have won seven of nine games. Their last game ended with a regrettable loss to the Hawks. In the game against the Hawks, the backcourt combination of Dillon and Booker combined to contribute 61 points, but it was difficult to prevent the team from regretfully losing to their opponents. The Suns' future schedule is about to enter the devil's schedule. Until Christmas, most of their opponents are strong teams in the Western Conference. They will face a huge test.

The current handicap offered by the sports betting is that the home team Trail Blazers are handicapped by 1.5 points. Combined with the strength of both opponents and their recent status, the transfer of the Trail Blazers still reflects the organization's support and confidence in them. Coupled with the Blazers' strong offense and weak defense, they may have more opportunities when encountering the Suns, who also have a weak defense. It is recommended to win this game by handicap.
