Will KD provide a boost for the Nets?

There are half a dozen NBA games scheduled for next night. Among others, the top of the league in the West, Phoenix, will get into the action. The Valley basketball team will take on Orlando

For their part, the home side is only in last place in the East. Why the game still promises to be exciting can be read in the following article! In addition, current NBA tips and odds are presented for all games on 08.03.2022.

Charlotte Hornets vs. Brooklyn Nets – 09 March, 01:00 hrs

The Hornets won their only match-up of the season so far with the Nets last October. The success came despite a gala performance from Kevin Durant, who scored 38 points in the encounter.

KD has now also returned to the squad for both guests after a long injury break and immediately delivered two games against Miami and Boston with more than 30 points each. Two opponents who can also be considered particularly strong players.

For the game at the Spectrum Center between the Charlotte Hornets and Brooklyn Nets, bets on more than 29.5 points by the “Slim Reaper” appear to be profitable.

Indiana Pacers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers – 09 March, 01:00 am

The Pacers have lost the last four duels against the Cavs. In addition, the home side currently occupies only the third-last place in the East, while the basketballers from Ohio arrive in sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

However, the mood of the visitors is not good: In the last game, Jarrett Allen suffered a serious hand injury, which is why the so far very strong centre will now be missing for an indefinite period. For the Cleveland franchise, already plagued by injuries, this is a further weakening.

In addition, the form curve of the guests has already shown a downward trend recently: They have only won two of their last eight league games. But at least Darius Garland is available again.

The guard has also been convincing again with predominantly strong performances since his return on the third-last matchday. In the three games since his comeback, he has averaged 25.3 points and eleven assists! With Allen out, he is now even more challenged on the offensive end.

For the game between the Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers, bets on Garland to score more than 23.5 points are recommended.

Orlando Magic vs. Phoenix Suns – 09 March, 01:00 am

The home side from Florida lost their only clash this season by a clear 105-132 margin just under a month ago. Now the starting position for Magic is better: The guests have to play without Chris Paul and Devin Booker. Without the two top players, the team of head coach Monty Williams is naturally considerably weakened.

Although the Suns delivered a strong performance last Sunday night in the game against the champions and in a rematch of last year’s finals, the game was still lost in the end and the previous victory against the Knicks was only a narrow one.

With that in mind, predictions for a home win or a loss for the hosts with a maximum difference of seven points are worth considering in the clash between the Orlando Magic and the Phoenix Suns.

Memphis Grizzlies vs. New Orleans Pelicans – 09 March, 01:30am

The Grizzlies prevailed over the Pels in the last duel about three weeks ago quite confidently with twelve points in difference. The win was especially respectable from Memphis’ point of view, as the third-place team in the West was without Ja Morant and thus without its best player.

Now, however, the guard is back on board, so the prospects of a NOLA win are once again much lower. For the clash between the Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans, bets on a home victory with at least a six-point difference are worth considering.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Milwaukee Bucks – 09 March, 02:00

OKC has been waiting for the next win against the champions for three duels. The season is also already over for the home side: As the second-to-last team in the West, their prospects of participating in the postseason are largely gone. However, the season was pleasing for Josh Giddey.

The newbie immediately established himself in the NBA and definitely has a chance to win the title of best rookie. However, he was absent recently and cannot play against Budenholzer’s team. The visitors, on the other hand, played one of their best games this season with the Suns.

On this occasion, the two-time champions showed that they are not just made up of Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek and two-time MVP got into foul trouble at times against the runners-up and was therefore able to play less game time than usual, but in the end the Bucks still prevailed against Phoenix thanks to a brilliant fourth quarter.

Khris Middleton was particularly brilliant in the fourth quarter, scoring 44 points! In the showdown between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Milwaukee Bucks, value can be found in the odds for an away win with at least a 15-point difference.

Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Clippers – Mar 09, 04:00

The Warriors cannot be satisfied with the last few weeks. Only two of the past ten league games could be won.

Due to this meagre yield, the Suns have now moved quite far away at the top of the table and Golden State even had to swap second place in the West with the Grizzlies last night after their fifth consecutive defeat against Denver instead.

Head coach Tyrone Lue’s team is now also travelling to an in-form opponent. Despite missing their two best players, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the visitors have played efficiently of late. This can be seen in their five wins from the last six games.

Moreover, the visitors have a physical advantage as the home side have to play a back-to-back. For the West Coast duel between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers, betting tips on a home win with at least a six-point difference are still a good idea.

With Curry, Thompson and Wiggins, the three top players of the hosts were spared in the last game, which is why they can now start fresh despite last night’s encounter against the Nuggets. In addition, the loss of the second place in the Western Conference has certainly increased the motivation on the part of Kerr’s troops.
