Brooklyn Nets Vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction (O/U 228.5, Grizzlies -10.5)
The Grizzlies have completely bounced back from their disastrous last season. At 17-8, the Grizzlies are one of the hottest teams in the NBA (9-1 in their last 10).
As bad as Brooklyn have been in their division (0-5), the Nets are 6-1 against the Western Conference.
While the team have not been great, they did beat the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings all on the road.
Shop around for good team props for the Nets on basketball betting sites, as they could pull off the win here.
The Panel's first tip is for the Nets to cover on the road in Memphis.
The Panel Pick 1: Brooklyn Nets +10.5 Vs The Grizzlies - 21/20 With Betway
Our NBA Picks For This Weekend
Atlanta Hawks Vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction (O/U 230.5, Bucks -3.5)
We now turn our attention to the NBA Cup. The first semi-final features the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks.
Atlanta survived a late run from the New York Knicks to reach the final four, while the Bucks held off the Orlando Magic.
The Hawks have won seven of their last eight games. Aside from the loss against Denver, where they lost by 30, the Hawks have played much-improved basketball.
As good as Milwaukee can be, Atlanta may be like the Los Angeles Lakers from last year.
De’Andre Hunter and Jalen Johnson can each score 20 points a game or more. For as many points the Hawks give up, these NBA Cup games have seen fewer points scored.
One betting option to consider is Atlanta to win outright. The moneyline can be shopped around at several betting apps.
The Panel’s second pick is going for the Hawks to beat the Bucks.
The Panel Pick 2: Atlanta Hawks To Beat Milwaukee Bucks - 29/20 With William Hill
Houston Rockets Vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction (O/U 214.5, Thunder -5.0)
The NBA Cup has been intriguing. This contest will air in primetime on Saturday night and Oklahoma and Houston will try to advance to the final.
In this tournament, the Thunder defeated the Mavericks by 14 points. It was not much of a contest, as Oklahoma City held Dallas to 104 points.
Houston played some incredible defense against Golden State in the quarter-final, when they won by one point and some argued that an egregious call paved the way to a win.
The Under is the play for this one. Oklahoma City can shut down any team and if Houston are going to keep games at around 100 points or fewer for each team, then go with it.
The Panel's pick is for the under to connect in this second semi-final.
The Panel Pick 3: Houston Rockets & Oklahoma City Thunder Under 214.5 Points - 4/5 With Coral
