Will Indiana take advantage of the moment?

In the night from Saturday to Sunday five games go over the stage in the NBA. In addition to the champions from Milwaukee, who are guests in Charlotte, the runners-up from Phoenix are also in action.

The Suns welcome the basketball players from Miami and want to consolidate their newly conquered position as the league leader in the West with a win. For all NBA games on 09.01.2022, tips and odds can be read in the following text.

Charlotte Hornets vs Milwaukee Bucks – 09 January, 01:00am

The first duel of the season took place in early December and was a real nailbiter. With 127:125 the Bucks finally prevailed in front of their own backdrop. The “Greek Freak” delivered a gala performance with 40 points and twelve rebounds as well as nine assists and just missed a top-class triple-double.

LaMelo Ball was not much worse on the other side with 36 points. He converted no less than eight attempts from downtown! The high score of 252 was again not surprising: After all, two strong offensive lines are facing each other in this duel.

This can be seen in the fifth place in the case of the home side and the third place by the visitors in terms of the NBA’s offensive rating. For the clash between the Charlotte Hornets and Milwaukee Bucks, betting on more than 232.5 points is therefore a good idea.

Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic – 09 January, 01:00

The Pistons occupy the penultimate place in the Eastern Conference. However, the form curve showed at least temporarily upwards. A win against San Antonio was followed by a sensational away win at the champions from Milwaukee.

However, the most recent two games against Memphis and Charlotte ended in defeats. On the other hand, Orlando is the team at the bottom of the table. The Magic have lost seven games in a row and, with the exception of Franz Wagner, who is improving his position in the race for the title of “Best Rookie”, the situation in Florida is very bleak due to numerous absences.

For the clash in the Little Caesars Arena between the Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic, the betting odds for predictions on a home win can be located at Value. The home side have at least improved on home soil recently, as can be seen from their two wins in their last three home games, and the visitors, as described, are fundamentally even weaker on the road.

Indiana Pacers vs Utah Jazz – 09 January, 01:00

The Pacers won the first duel of the season with Utah away from home about two months ago. It was the first win after three previous losses to the Snyder squad. But things are not going well in Indy at the moment: the last six games have all been lost.

The situation for the visitors is quite the opposite – they have only lost two of their last ten league games. In addition, the basketball players from Salt Lake City have the best offence in the NBA!

In the Indiana Pacers’ clash with the Utah Jazz, however, betting on the visitors to score less than 112.5 points is worth considering, as they are playing a back-to-back and will therefore be a little tired.

In addition, the squad is severely depleted at the moment, including the absence of the NBA’s best rebounder in Rudy Gobert, who already lost last night’s game at Toronto by a clear margin.

Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks – 09 January, 01:30 am

Boston vs New York is a classic in the East. The home side are now in a better position in terms of personnel after the return of Jayson Tatum and can rely on home advantage for the pairing. They have only lost three of their last ten home games against the team from the Big Apple.

It is also a special game for Kemba Walker. The point guard moved from Boston to New York before the season. However, “Cardiac Kemba” has been absent lately and it is not certain that he will play against his old teammates. The Boston Celtics’ game against the New York Knicks offers predictions of a home win with at least a seven-point difference.

The teams already faced each other on the last matchday and the New Yorkers landed a last-minute win, which is why the home side will be particularly motivated now. They will be particularly careful not to squander a comfortable lead, as they did in the previous encounter.

Phoenix Suns vs Miami Heat – 09 January, 03:00

The runners-up have won the last three duels with Miami. However, the teams have not faced each other yet this season. Head coach Monty Williams’ team will now rely on home court advantage first and foremost: The Warriors alone top the West’s impressive 81 percent win rate in front of their own crowd.

The guests from Florida are again only average on the road in their away games. This can be seen in their win rate of around 52 percent. For the encounter at the Footprint Center between the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat, betting tips on less than 216.5 points are interesting, as two strong defensive lines are facing each other.

The Arizona hoopsters are ranked second in the NBA and Spoelstra’s squad is ranked tenth.
