2023 NBA Dec 14 Betting Predictions<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThe NBA season continues on Thursday with a huge 9-game slate, headlined by the Bucks hosting the
\nPacers.<\/p>\n

\nAtlanta Hawks (9-13) at Toronto Raptors (9-14)<\/strong>The Hawks are grappling with a challenging period marked by four consecutive defeats. In their
\nrecent matchup against the Nuggets, they suffered a 129-122 loss, with Trae Young sidelined.
\nHowever, Bogdan Bogdanovic stepped up, delivering an impressive 40-point performance.
\nDespite this individual effort, the Hawks have struggled defensively, allowing an average of 127
\npoints per game in their last five outings. Their road performance has been more balanced, holding
\na 5-5 record in the last ten away games. The availability of Trae Young remains uncertain, with a
\nquestionable status due to a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n

\nThe Raptors have also endured four consecutive losses. While their recent record is less than
\nstellar, with a 1-5 ATS and a 1-6 SU in their last six and seven games, respectively, there is a
\nsilver lining. Despite the losses, the Raptors have kept their last three defeats within a margin
\nof under 10 points, showcasing their competitiveness. In their latest showdown against the New York
\nKnicks at Madison Square Garden, they came up short by six points in a 136-130 loss. OG Anunoby led
\nthe charge with an impressive 29 points and Dennis Schroder added 20 points to the mix. As they
\nreturn home, the Raptors boast a 5-5 record in their last ten games, and fortunately, they face no
\nsignificant injuries affecting their starting lineup.
\nBoth sides aren’t in great form but I’m sticking with the home side. They’re 4-2 ATS in their last
\n6 and Trae Young’s injury makes it tough for the Hawks.
\nStadium Record<\/p>\n

Toronto are 5-5 in their last 10 at home. Atlanta are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games when playing
\non the road against Toronto.<\/p>\n

Head to Head Record The Hawks lead it 6-4.<\/p>\n

Best Bet
\nToronto Raptors -1.5 = $1.87<\/p>\n

Indiana Pacers (13-8) at Milwaukee Bucks (16-7)<\/strong>Indiana has been on an impressive run lately, securing victories in four out of their last five
\ngames. In their most recent clash on Tuesday, they outplayed the Detroit Pistons, clinching a
\nwell-fought 131-123 win. The bench played a significant role, with Mathurin contributing 30 points,
\nincluding three three-pointers. The team maintains a good record on the road, boasting six wins in
\ntheir last ten away games. Their recent 128-119 triumph over the Bucks showcased stellar
\nperformances from Tyrese Haliburton, who scored 27 points, and Myles Turner contributed 26 points.
\nEager to turn the tables after a recent 128-119 loss to the Pacers, the Bucks have shown resilience
\nwith a 3-1 record in their last four games. Their most recent win was a thrilling 133- 129 overtime
\nvictory against the Bulls on Tuesday, with Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the charge with an
\nimpressive 32 poin rly dominant at home,
\nboasting a formidable 9-1 record.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee have an excellent 9-2 home record against the Pacers and should be keen to bounce back
\nafter losing in the season tournament against them. Look for Giannis to lead them to victory.
\nStadium Record<\/p>\n

Milwaukee are 9-1 in their last 10 at home. Indiana are 2-9 in their last 11 games<\/p>\n

Head to Head Record
\nThe Bucks have won 7 of the last 10 meetings.<\/p>\n

Best Bet
\nMilwaukee Bucks -5.5 = $1.82<\/p>\n

\nBrooklyn Nets (12-10) at Phoenix Suns (12-10)<\/strong>
\nThe Nets are coming off a convincing 131-118 loss against the Kings on Tuesday and their road trip
\ncontinues to Phoenix. The duo of Bridges and Thomas tried their best, combining for a total of 42
\npoints. The Nets have faced challenges on the road lately, managing only a 1-4 record.
\nDespite this, their offence has been good, averaging 122.6 points in their last five games. The
\nteam is heading into this upcoming game without any fresh injuries, although Ben Simmons remains
\nsidelined due to injury.<\/p>\n

The Suns snapped a two-game losing streak with a solid 119-116 win against the Warriors on
\nWednesday. Devin Booker led the charge with an impressive 32 points. Unfortunately for the Suns,
\nKevin Durant was absent in that game and won’t be hitting the court on Thursday, missing out on
\nfacing his former team. Bradley Beal made a return, putting up 16 points in 27 minutes in the last
\ngame. The Suns have been holding their ground at home, with a 5-5 record in their last 10 games.
\nBooker has been on fire, scoring 30+ points in two out of his last three games at home, and with
\nDurant sidelined, he’s likely to shine again.
\nThe Over looks like a good bet with the Nets involved. It’s 11-2 when they play in Phoenix and they
\ncome off giving up 130 pts. The Suns are also 5-1 against the Over on their home court.
\nStadium Record<\/p>\n

Phoenix hold a 3-2 record in their last 5 home games. Brooklyn are 1-3 in their last 4.<\/p>\n

Head to Head Record
\nIn the last 10, it’s tied at 5-5.<\/p>\n
