With a plethora of NBA fixtures to get stuck into this weekend, punters are truly spoilt for choice and with big games in both the East and West, there are a whole host of NBA betting markets available with the biggest and best Aussie bookmakers.
Titanic clashes seem to be the order of the day this weekend with Oklahoma City Thunder taking on the LA Lakers, the Chicago Bulls hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Dallas Mavericks lining up against the San Antonio Spurs.
24th December 2023, 14.00 – Paycom Centre, Oklahoma
Two sides going well over in the West do battle in Oklahoma, as the high-flying Thunder welcome in-season tournament champions the LA Lakers. Both sides are firmly in the mix for NBA Championship glory and their performances this season are catching the eye with most Australian betting sites.
For Oklahoma City, this is a real chance to put down a marker and improve on their league standing of 2nd in the Western Conference table. The Lakers are still finding their feet in the West but remain a threat in every game they play and how they’d love to upset the Thunder train.
This will be a good one, with Oklahoma City Thunder perhaps possessing too much momentum at home.
Best Bet: Oklahoma City Thunder to win the match @ $1.95 (PlayUp).
24th December 2023, 14.00 – United Centre, Chicago
Two sides trending upwards in the East face off as the Chicago Bulls host the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cracking the top 8 and securing a playoff spot will be the priority for both sides here and many NBA betting apps fancy both sides to be firmly the mix in the East.
For the Bulls, this is chance to build on some good recent results and try and improve their league standing of 11th. That said, the Cleveland Cavaliers are also on a good run, having won three on the spin and whilst they are on their travels, the Cleveland Cavaliers could pinch the points here in the Windy City.
Best Bet: Cleveland Cavaliers to win the match @ $2.15 (GetSetBet).
24th December 2023, 14.30 – American Airlines Centre, Dallas
It will be a battle of two sides at opposing ends of the Western Conference table in Dallas, as the Mavericks host the lowly San Antonio Spurs.
A very bright start to the campaign for the Dallas Mavericks has been checked somewhat, with the blues having dropped down to 6th in the table and they will be eager to stop the rot here.
It has been a season of slow decline for the San Antonio Spurs, who have won just 4 of their 26 games played and they need something seismic if they are to turn things around this term.
This will be brutal, with the Mavericks ready to run up a big total here against the Spurs.
Best Bet: Over 223.5 points and Dallas Mavericks to win the match @ $1.90 (BlueBet).
