It is crunch time in the NBA, with sides all looking to time their respective runs to perfection and be in the best possible shape for the playoffs. 

A mouth-watering tie between the Phoenix Suns and the Sacramento Kings is in prospect, with the Portland Trail Blazers hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves and the LA Lakers hosting the lowly Detroit Pistons.

Phoenix Suns vs Sacramento Kings Best Bet

14th February – Footprint Center, Phoenix

Phoenix Suns to win the match @ 1.80 (PlayUp)

It has been a curious campaign for the Phoenix Suns, who look to now be turning the corner in the Western Conference. 

Their swashbuckling performances always make them a good watch for both punters and betting sites and they will want to keep their good run of form going against the Sacramento Kings. 

For the Kings, this is a chance to leapfrog the Suns with a win but things are trending in the right direction for Phoenix and they should prevail here.

Portland Trail Blazers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Best Bet

14th February – Moda Center, Portland

Over 221.5 points & Timberwolves to win the match  @ 1.85 (GetSetBet)  

Over in the West, the Minnesota Timberwolves continue to kick up a storm and they find themselves sitting pretty at the top of the table. Next, is a trip to Portland, to take on a Trail Blazers side who are sat down in 14th and who, despite some recent improved showing, have endured a rough campaign. 

This may not be as one-sided as people expect, with points on the board at both ends but the Minnesota Timberwolves should pick up an important road win here.

LA Lakers vs Detroit Pistons Best Bet

14th February – Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles

Over 231.5 points & Lakers to win the match @ 2.05 (BlueBet)

For the LA Lakers, it feels very much like now or never in terms of their playoff aspirations and their fortunes are always well documented by both punters and international betting sites

Next up, they take on the Detroit Pistons, a side that have only won 8 games all season but with 4 wins from their last 10, they will feel that they have some confidence to work with here. 

This should be an absolute points fest, the type of game that should suit the Lakers down to the ground and it will certainly be a good watch.
