Midweek NBA action is an absolute staple of the sporting calendar and there are plenty of NBA betting apps on board once again before Christmas. 

The New Orleans Pelicans take on the Memphis Grizzlies, whilst the Milwaukee Bucks welcome the struggling San Antonio Spurs. The game that has everyone talking, however, is the blockbuster clash between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors.  

New Orleans Pelicans vs Memphis Grizzlies Best Bet

20th December – Smoothie King Center, New Orleans

New Orleans Pelicans to win the match @ 1.70 (PlayUp)

A good looking battle in the West appears to be in prospect, as the New Orleans Pelicans take on the Memphis Grizzlies. 

The improved performances by the Pelicans in recent weeks have been noticed by many NBA betting sites and they now find themselves in 7th place in the Western Conference table. Maintaining a playoff place will be their priority, as they welcome a Memphis Grizzlies side who are struggling at the bottom of the pile. 

Whilst the Memphis Grizzlies hold a threat and will be up for this one, the New Orleans Pelicans should prevail in this one.

Milwaukee Bucks vs San Antonio Spurs Best Bet

20th December – Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee

Over 225.5 points & Bucks win the match  @ 1.75 (GetSetBet)  

Firing up the Eastern Conference table in recent weeks have been the Milwaukee Bucks and their recent performances have plenty of punters backing them to go all the way. 

Next up is a potential banana skin in the form of San Antonio Spurs, a side that still find themselves way off the pace in the West but who have shown some glimmers of hope in recent weeks that they can turn things around. San Antonio Spurs will give this a go, but the Milwaukee Bucks should come out on top in this battle.

Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics Best Bet

20th December – Chase Center, San Francisco 

Boston Celtics to win the match @ 1.85 (BlueBet)

The biggest game on the minds of both domestic and international betting sites this week is the clash between Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics. 

It has been a tough start to the season for Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference and they look to have their work cut out if they are to crack the playoffs this term. 

Next up is a tricky looking assignment against the Boston Celtics, the side that are currently sat top of the Eastern Conference, with the NBA Championship firmly within their sights. 

This should be a belter, with the Boston Celtics well placed to come out on top in San Francisco.
