Suns with their twelfth win in a row?

There are half a dozen NBA games going on next night. The focus is of course on the “Battle of LA” between the Lakers and Clippers. Head coach Tyronn Lue’s team won the only battle so far this season last December.

Detroit Pistons vs. Minnesota Timberwolves – 04 February, 01:00 am

The basketballers from the “Motor City” are only ranked second-to-last in the East and feature above all an offensive that is in need of improvement. In addition, they have not won against Minnesota in almost three years and instead have conceded three losses.

The Timberwolves, on the other hand, arrive in stable form: They recently defeated two top teams from the Western Conference, Utah and Denver. For the clash between the Detroit Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves, bets on an away win with at least a seven-point difference are therefore worth a recommendation.

Atlanta Hawks vs. Phoenix Suns – 04 February, 01:00 am

The only duel between “Hotlanta” and the basketball players from the Valley this season took place last November. At that time, the Western league leaders narrowly prevailed 121-117 at home in the Footprint Arena.

Devin Booker played a decisive role in the victory, scoring 38 points, the best scoring output on the court in Arizona. The home victory continued the curse for the respective guests in this pairing: For six duels, the host has always prevailed and for just as many comparisons, the winners have alternated!

For the game at State Farm Arena between the Atlanta Hawks and Phoenix Suns on 4 February from 01:30, however, bets on the visitors to win by at least six points seem to be profitable.

The Suns have won their last eleven league games and with Trae Young, the best scorer on the home side is at risk. The extent to which his absence weakens the Hawks was already evident in the last home game against the Raptors. Against Toronto, Atlanta suffered a 100-106 defeat.

Toronto Raptors vs. Chicago Bulls – February 04, 01:30am

The Canadians will approach the encounter with mixed feelings: They have been waiting for their next win against the basketballers from the Windy City for five attempts.

However, Head Coach Nick Nurse’s team is currently looking solid: They have won every game for the last three rounds and the enormously important guard Fred VanVleet, who was injured for a while, has recently been available again. The Bulls, however, will be very motivated as they want to defend their lead in the East.

For the undoubtedly very close clash between the Toronto Raptors and the Chicago Bulls on 4 February, the odds on an away win, including a handicap of + 3.5 points for the visitors, are interesting.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat – February 04, 02:30

The Texans lost all three duels in the preseason as well as regular season with Miami last year and are now hoping for an end to this drought. The chances are not bad either. The visitors travel to the tournament with three defeats in a row.

The reason was a tense personnel situation, which has improved with the return of Jimmy Butler, but important players like Kyle Lowry are still missing. In the clash between the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat, value can be discovered in the betting odds on a home win.

Golden State Warriors vs. Sacramento Kings – 04 February, 04:00

With the Warriors against the Kings, another California derby takes place next night alongside the city duel in LA. Head coach Steve Kerr’s troops will be banking on home court advantage against Sactown: No team in the NBA tops the Warriors’ home winning percentage of nearly 86 percent (24-4).

In addition, top scorer Stephen Curry returns to the squad after a short injury break, while the visitors still have to do without their very powerful point guard De’Aaron Fox due to an injury. In addition, the basketballers from Sactown are playing a back-to-back and will therefore be less rested.

Last night’s game, on the other hand, boosted the visitors’ confidence. Against the Nets, a series of seven losses could be stopped with a win.

However, Brooklyn is currently in a weak phase and conceded its sixth defeat in a row, which is why the victory must be put into perspective.

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Los Angeles Lakers – 04 February, 04:00 hrs

In the last direct duel, which was won by the Clippers as described at the beginning, LeBron James and Anthony Davis each scored a double-double in terms of points and rebounds. Nevertheless, they could not change the fourth defeat in the review of the last five LA derbies.

But if you expand the flashback a little, you can see that the balance in the competition between the two Los Angeles franchises is even, with five victories in each of the past ten meetings. However, the Lakers now have to do without LBJ due to injury.

Although Anthony Davis has successfully stepped into the breach and delivered at least 27 points in the past three games as his playing time has been increased, the fact that only one success could be achieved in this review points out that even the strong performances of AD are not enough for victories in the majority of cases.

In addition, the Lakers are contesting a back-to-back, giving Head Coach Tyronn Lue’s squad a physical advantage. For the NBA game between the LA Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers, predictions on a defeat of the record champions are therefore recommended.
