Will the Suns extend their winning streak?

In the next night on 02.02.2022 basketball fans can look forward to seven duels in the NBA! Particularly attractive, of course, is the meeting of the two championship candidates Phoenix and Brooklyn in the Valley.

The only meeting so far was won by the top of the Western Conference last November on the East Coast, which is why the Nash squad is hoping for revenge. However, the omens are bad, because the opponent is in the best shape and has a series of ten wins! For all NBA Games on 02.02.2022, the following tips and odds are presented.

Detroit Pistons vs. New Orleans Pelicans – 02 Feb, 01:00

The basketball players from “Motown” have lost the last two duels with NOLA and go into the next duel with the Pelicans as the second-last team in the Eastern Conference. However, the defeats have always been away from home and the home side won the last home game, losing the previous one only in overtime.

In addition, the Pistons’ performance on home soil has at least been better than away from home in this otherwise dismal season. The win rate at home in the Little Caesars Arena, for example, is just under 35 percent, which is significantly higher than the 15.4 percent away from home.

The last game was also proof of the home strength of the hosts. The Pistons won against Cleveland – a team that is ranked fourth in the East!

The Pels are also travelling with personnel worries, as their best scorer, Brandon Ingram, is missing due to injury. In the game between the Detroit Pistons and the New Orleans Pelicans, it is therefore possible to predict a home win for the team of head coach Dwane Casaey.

This is also supported by the fact that the home strength has even increased recently: This can be seen in the five wins from the last seven matches. They have also beaten extra strong opponents such as fourth-placed Utah in the West and second-placed Miami in the East.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Washington Wizards – 02 February, 01:30 hrs

The champions get a visit from the capital. The Bucks lost the first meeting of the season last November, which is why they are now looking for revenge. The Wizards’ success also ended a streak of nine wins for the basketballers from the “Brew City” in this pairing!

At the moment, the visitors also look sufficiently bruised for the champions to restore the previous balance of power. Since five rounds of games, the basket ball hunters from D.C. have only conceded defeats. Their defence has been particularly weak, allowing an average of 115 points to their opponents.

Toronto Raptors vs. Miami Heat – 02 February, 01:30 hrs

The Raps were narrowly defeated by Miami last month in their only clash to date. On the other hand, it was already the fourth defeat in the last five games, which makes it clear that the Canadians do not like the troops from the Sunshine State.

Nurse’s team is also very fickle at the moment. A win rate of 50 percent from the balance of the last ten league games shows this. The guests, however, will be travelling with considerable injury worries: Head coach Erik Spoelstra’s team is missing important players like Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry.

Betting tips on a home win are therefore worth recommending for the clash at Scotiabank Arena between the Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat. The Heat have already lost the last two games due to the tight personnel situation and had to relinquish the lead in the East as a result.

In addition, one of the defeats against the upcoming opponents took place on home turf. A win for the Canadians can be taken as a hint for the next duel, especially since the guests are not particularly strong away from home. They have only won just over half of their 27 guest games so far (14-13).

Chicago Bulls vs. Orlando Magic – February 02, 02:00

For the fourth time this season, the duel between the Bulls and Orlando will take place. After two victories by the six-time champions, Magic could at least win the most recent duel on their own floor for the time being.

However, the Donovan squad was missing a top scorer in Zach LaVine, who is now back on board. The franchise from the Windy City can also rely on home advantage: Together with Miami, the hosts have the best win percentage in the East at 75 percent.

For the visiting team of Head Coach Jamahl Mosley with the German NBA players Moritz and Franz Wagner, this means a much more difficult task this time. For the game at the “Madhouse on Madison” between the Chicago Bulls and Orlando Magic, predictions of a home win with at least an eleven-point difference are offering value in the odds.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Denver Nuggets – Feb 02, 02:00

The Timberwolves better not look at the statistics of the pairing from the recent past: For four duels, the guest has prevailed, with Denver and Minnesota each picking up two wins.

For the home side, their own home record against Denver is also disastrous in a broader retrospective – they have not won against the Malone team in front of their own crowd for more than three years!

Instead, the Colorado pros have a streak of seven straight wins at Target Center.

The Nuggets are in fifth place and Minnesota head coach Chris Finch’s team is two places behind them, which means that two rivals for a play-off spot are going head-to-head.

For the match between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets on 2 February from 02:00, tips on a home win are interesting. The home side has looked very stable recently and will be motivated by the negative home series against Denver. In addition, they have already defeated two top teams, the Nets and Utah, on their home turf.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Golden State Warriors – Feb 02, 02:30am

The Texans can continue to rely on Dejounte Murray. The point guard has already delivered ten triple-doubles this season. That tally is topped only by Denver’s reigning MVP Nikola Jokic.

Head coach Gregg Popovich’s Spurs now face a tough opponent. The Warriors are ranked second in the West and have the best defensive rating in the NBA. However, unlike the home side, Kerr’s squad will have to play a back-to-back.

As a result, the basketball players from the Bay will be a little tired. For the match between the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors next night, predictions on a home win or a narrow defeat for the home side with a maximum difference of three points are recommended.

The tip is backed up by the last head-to-head duel, in which Murray proved that the Warriors suit him. He scored 42 points, rebounds and assists, which was the best record of all players in the sum of these three categories.

Phoenix Suns vs. Brooklyn Nets – Feb 02, 04:00am

As mentioned at the beginning, the Suns and Nets already faced each other last November and the Suns’ victory at Barclays Center was quite close, 113-107. With 39 points Kevin Durant was the best scorer on the court. But this time KD has to miss because of an injury.

For the home side, it was also the first win after three defeats. James Harden scored a strong triple-double for the Nets. In the meantime, “The Beard” has already recorded nine of these performances this season – third best in the NBA.

However, his appearance is now also in jeopardy as Harden is struggling with a hand injury that prevented him from playing in the last game against the Warriors. For the renewed clash between the Phoenix Suns and Brooklyn Nets at the Foodprint Center, bets on a home victory with at least an eight-point lead are worth considering.

Besides the personnel worries, the very strong form of the hosts suggests a home win by a comfortable margin. The Suns have won their last ten league games and are extremely strong at home: Only five of the 26 games played in front of a home crowd have been lost.
