Will Embiid carry the Sixers to their next victory?

The NBA schedulers have scheduled nine games for 15.01.2022. Of course, the clash between the Bulls and Warriors is particularly appealing, as the first from the East and second from the West face each other in this match-up.

Charlotte Hornets vs Orlando Magic – Jan 15, 01:00am

Charlotte will be looking forward to their upcoming opponent: Since three duels, the Miami franchise has always been beaten. At the moment, there are signs of renewed success for the home side, as the visitors are in a depleted form. In addition, the home side is in a very stable condition.

Recently, the champions from Milwaukee were beaten twice on their own turf and only Utah is ahead of head coach James Borrego’s team in the NBA’s offensive rating.

For the game at the Spectrum Center between the Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic, bets on a home win with at least an eleven-point difference are recommended.

Detroit Pistons vs Toronto Raptors – 15 January, 01:00am

The Pistons recently beat Utah at home in Little Caesars Arena and have picked up two-thirds of their wins on home floor this season. While their home record remains weak at six wins and 13 losses, second only to Orlando in the East, an upward trend can be seen in their home games.

Four of those six victories have come in the last five home games. However, the visitors arrive in a stable condition: Only one of the last seven games ended in defeat. Fred VanVleet in particular has been very strong: The shooting guard is averaging 29.5 points in the current month.

This is more than seven points higher than his season total, and his scoring rate from downtown is a whopping 46.1 per cent! For the showdown between the Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors, however, the betting odds on a home win, including a positive handicap of 7.5 points for the hosts, are interesting.

At least a blowout is not looming for the hosts at the moment.

Indiana Pacers vs Phoenix Suns – 15 January, 01:00

The last time the teams faced each other was last season in March of the previous year. At that time, the basketball players from Indy surprisingly won 122-111 away from home. At the moment, there are only limited signs of a repeat of that success on the part of the home side.

Back then, the Pacers won mainly due to a great collective performance, as three players delivered more than 20 points and half a dozen a double-digit scoring output, but recently several players were missing for the hosts.

For this reason, the squad was weakened and only managed one win in the last nine games. For the clash between the Indiana Pacers and Phoenix Suns on 14.01.2022, betting tips on a home win, including a lead of 5.5 points for the home side, are still a good idea.

The forecast is supported by an improved personnel situation at Indiana. Among others, Caris LeVert is available again after a five-game break.

He only scored 16 points in his comeback in the last game against the Celtics, but before that the former Nets player was very strong. It is to be expected that he will now find his way back to his old strength with more playing experience.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics – 15 January, 01:30am

The Sixers and Boston have faced each other twice already this season. Both games came at TD Garden in the Beancity and at least once Philly prevailed. Both encounters were also very close, with the average gap at the final buzzer being just three points.

For the Philadelphia 76ers’ clash with the Boston Celtics at the Wells Fargo Center, predictions of more than 27.5 points by Joel Embiid on the hosts’ side are worth considering. The Cameroonian centre is currently performing at MVP level, surpassing the selected limit in points in his last eight games!

Chicago Bulls vs Golden State Warriors – Jan 15, 02:00

The Bulls picked up a blowout in San Francisco in their only matchup so far this season with the Warriors. So the game ended last November with a clear 93-119 defeat from the point of view of the league leader in the East.

The visitors, who are also at the top of the table in the West as described at the beginning, have not lost to Chicago in nine duels! It is almost five years since the hosts’ last success in this pairing.

A look at the Bulls’ line-up at the time shows how long ago that was, with players such as Jimmy Butler, now based in Miami, and the long-retired Dwyane Wade.

For the game at the United Center between the Chicago Bulls and Golden State Warriors on 14 January, betting tips on a home win for the top team in the East nevertheless seem profitable. The visitors have to play a back-to-back and therefore have a physical disadvantage.

In addition, Klay Thompson has been available again for three games at least as a part-time player with a minute restriction (20). But since his return, two of those games have been lost. Apparently, the team still has to find its feet in its new composition.

In addition, the Bulls’ home strength speaks for the prediction. Their home win percentage is a whopping 75 per cent – the best in the Eastern Conference.

Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks – 15 January, 02:00

Miami and Atlanta already met on the last matchday and the Hawks were clearly defeated on their own turf. However, the home side is still plagued by considerable personnel problems. For example, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo are missing important players.

However, the Hawks are again in a very weak condition. Only three wins in the past ten encounters prove this verdict.

For the clash at the FTX Arena between Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks, the odds on another victory for Spoelstra’s troops can be located Value.

San Antonio Spurs vs Cleveland Cavaliers – Jan 15, 02:30am

The Texans from San Antonio have been waiting for their next home win against the Cavs for almost three years. Instead, Ohio basketball prevailed in their most recent two outings in the Lone Star State.

Currently, the hosts are already weak on the road again: Only seven of the 18 games played in front of their own backdrop could be won – the third worst result in the West!

For the match between the San Antonio Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers, the betting odds on an away win are therefore linked with value.

This is also supported by the current stable condition of the guests, who even won at the fourth-placed team in the West from Utah last time out and recorded their third win in the flashback to the past four guest games.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Dallas Mavericks – Jan 15, 04:00pm

The Grizzlies and Mavs each picked up an away win in this pairing this season. In the Texans’ case, this is not a new pattern as the hosts have won just one of their last five home games against head coach Jason Kidd’s side!

Furthermore, both teams show a stable constitution. The Grizzlies, for example, celebrated a series of eleven victories. The guests have lost only one of the last seven games.

For the clash between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Dallas Mavericks on 14.01.2022, however, predictions are for a home win.

The Mavs will have to play without Kristaps Porzingis at the five and the hosts are once again in better form compared to Dallas, as can be seen from their current longest winning streak in the NBA.

Sacramento Kings vs Houston Rockets – 15 January, 04:00

The Kings have won only one of their past five duels with Houston. However, that victory came in what was, for the time being, their last showdown last March. Currently, the pairing is also a crisis summit in the West.

The basketball team from Sactown is in fifth last place, while the Rockets are in last place in the table. For the game starting at 04:00 between the Sacramento Kings and Houston Rockets at the Golden 1 Center, bets on more than 18.5 points by Christian Wood on the side of the visitors seem promising.

The centre is one of the few bright spots for the Texans and has topped the selected limit in points in four of the last five games. The home side also boasts the third-worst defence in the NBA, which means Wood will face comparatively little resistance in his quest for a basket.
