Sixth win in a row for the Bulls?
The break in play after the recent All-Star Game is over and as of now, home fans of the NBA can set their alarm clocks again! Next night, the league “restarts” with seven games. One highlight should be the match-up between Minnesota and Memphis.
The Timberwolves and Grizzlies teams are among the top teams in the Western Conference, so the head-to-head matchup is sure to be a Spalding treat. For all NBA Games on 25.02.2022, current tips and odds can be discovered in the following text.
Detroit Pistons vs. Cleveland Cavaliers – 25 February, 01:00 hrs
Two times the Pistons and Cavs have faced each other this season and both teams scored a home win each time. The hosts were also able to set a sign of respect before the All-Star Break with a success against Boston’s previously very in-form basketball team.
Although the triumph was only a narrow 112-111, it was nevertheless impressive, as the Pistons are only second to last in the East and have only won around 22 per cent of their games this season. The Cavs, however, are another difficult opponent.
The men from Ohio are in third place in the Eastern Conference, but have recently lost to the Sixers and Hawks.
For the duel in the Little Caesars Arena between the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers, bets on more than 27.5 points, rebounds and assists by Cade Cunningham on the home side are recommended.
The first pick of the last draft won the MVP title at the recent Rising Stars Game during All-Star Weekend. He also delivered a triple-double in the last home game against Cleveland!
Brooklyn Nets vs. Boston Celtics – Feb 25, 01:30am
Brooklyn and Boston have already faced each other twice this season, but so far the respective guests have always won. Currently, this scenario is likely to repeat itself. The home side are still without Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving for the home games.
The Celtics again suffered a surprising defeat against the Motown franchise, but the defeat should not be more than a slip-up, as Boston had previously been in very good form with nine wins in a row.
In the clash at the Barclays Center between the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics, predictions on an away win represent the first choice of the betting base.
Chicago Bulls vs. Atlanta Hawks – Feb 25, 02:00
The Hawks are still waiting for their first win against the Bulls this season, who for their part have already won twice. The victories were also quite commanding in nature, as they were always accompanied by a double-digit lead. At the moment, the home side is also in a very stable condition.
This can be seen in their five consecutive victories. The performances of DeMar DeRozan can be counted as the most important factor for the winning streak. This year’s All-Star, who was selected by LeBron James as part of his starting five, has scored at least 35 points in the last seven games!
In the history of the six-time champions, only Michael Jordan has delivered a longer series of this kind. For the showdown at the United Center between the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks on 25.02.2022, betting tips on a home win are recommended.
This is also supported by the fact that Zach LaVine, an accurate player, is available again for the hosts after an injury break. The shooting guard was already back in action in the recent All-Star Game, which is why his comeback in the league can now be expected.
Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Memphis Grizzlies – Feb. 25, 02:00
The Timberwolves will face the upcoming pairing with mixed feelings: Only one of the last eleven duels with the team from the “Bluff City” could be contested victoriously. The seasonal record of 1:2 is also unfavourable for the home side.
However, the only victory can be encouraging, as it came on home soil and was a real blowout for the Grizzlies with a difference of 43 points. They can also rely on the newly crowned winner of the three-way contest from last year’s All-Star Weekend.
We are talking of course about Karl-Anthony Towns, who was the first centre to win the contest!
For the clash in the West between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies, predictions of at least two successful attempts from downtown by the first pick of 2016 therefore seem fruitful. A number he has also managed in two of the previous three season duels with the Grizzlies.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Phoenix Suns – Feb. 25, 02:00 p.m.
The Suns are looking for their fifth win in a row against OKC. The omens are also very good: while the home side are at the top of the Western Conference table, the visitors only occupy the penultimate place in the West. Oklahoma also expects the best away team in the NBA.
The Valley side have lost just five of their 27 away games this season, winning more than 81 per cent of those encounters. The hosts, on the other hand, have the second-weakest home record with just nine wins in 28 home games.
One bright spot, however, is Josh Giddey. The shooting guard was picked sixth overall in the first round of last year’s draft. That decision is increasingly proving to be a stroke of luck.
The Australian has delivered a triple-double in each of the past three games and is now the youngest player in NBA history to do so. In addition, the legend Oscar Robertson alone has achieved three triple-doubles in a row as a rookie.
In the game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Phoenix Suns on 25.02.2022 from 02:00, the odds on a home win or a defeat for the home side can be placed at a maximum of ten points. The visitors are the favourites in the match, but will have to do without Chris Paul.
The best assister is suffering from an injury to his throwing hand and will not be available to the Suns for a few more weeks. Without the “Point God”, the visitors are undoubtedly weakened, which is why at least no blowout is in the offing for the home side.
Portland Trail Blazers vs. Golden State Warriors – 25 February, 04:00 hrs
The Trail Blazers have been waiting for their next win against the troops of Head Coach Steve Kerr for four duels. Furthermore, they are currently without their top scorer Damian Lillard and the second best shooter CJ McCollum was traded to New Orleans.
In view of these points, one has to rub one’s eyes in amazement, because the franchise from Oregon has won the last four games and defeated several top teams like the Grizzlies or the champions from Milwaukee.
True to the motto “If you don’t have a chance, take it”, the home side is currently playing up. For the encounter between the Portland Trail Blazers and Golden State Warriors, bets on an away win by a maximum of seven points or even the next surprise in the form of a win for the home side are interesting.
Sacramento Kings vs. Denver Nuggets – 25 February, 04:00 hrs
The last duel went over at the beginning of the year and ended with a home win for Denver. Here Nikola Jokic once again presented himself in outstanding form and showed why he is the reigning MVP with 33 points and ten rebounds as well as seven assists.
Even if the Serbian just missed a triple-double in the match, the “Joker” is still in first place in the NBA in this ranking. He has already delivered 14 performances of this kind this season! On the other hand, Domantas Sabonis has quickly acclimatised to his new employer.
In three of his four appearances with the Californians, the former Pacers centre has achieved a double-double in points and rebounds. Furthermore, an average of 5.5 assists in these time periods for a “big man” is of course also something to be proud of!
For the duel at the Golden 1 Center between the Sacramento Kings and Denver Nuggets on 25.02.2022 from 04:00, the betting odds on more than 37.5 points, rebounds and assists by Sabonis are therefore of interest.
A number he already surpassed in two of his three games for the Kings so far with at least 30 minutes of playing time and a similarly high usage time can be expected for the upcoming game against the Nuggets.
