Best Bets: January 29th

Tough loss last night in College Hoops. We’ve had some tough losses as of late. But we are going to bounce back tonight with 2 NBA LOCKS!! We usually like to give y’all one bet but today we’ve got 2 games we love so we are going to give them both!

Best Bets:

NBA: 

Denver Nuggets @ New York Knicks 7:30pm EST

The Denver Nuggets are on the road tonight against a Knicks team that has played exceptionally well as of late. They are on a four game winning streak with their last loss coming on January 17th. The Nuggets on the other hand have dropped two in a row after a very impressive January campaign. The spread here sits at -2.5 in favor of the Knicks, but we feel this is only because of two factors: Home court and better record. These two teams can compete with anyone and this will be a tight game down to the end. The public sentiment is on the Knicks to win outright and cover the spread, but we don’t think either will happen. We love the Nuggets in this spot, so give us the Denver Nuggets on the free bucket to cover the spread as underdogs.

1 Unit Pick: Denver Nuggets +2.5 

Minnesota Timberwolves @ Phoenix Suns 9:00pm EST

In this one we have 2 teams that have a lot of star power on both sides! This should be a great matchup but there is definitely a side in this one!! The Timberwolves have been a hot team for us this year- but they have been up and down with a lot of injuries. This one is no different, they are without their 6-man and big impact player DiVincenzo. They have 3-4 other guys banged up including Naz Reid. On the other hand the Suns have won 8 or their last 10 games and have been in their best form all year. We look for them to go on a really good run here, climbing up the Western Conference standings. Kevin Durant is on the injury report as a GTD with a thumb injury, he did play last game and had 24pts, so we look for him to play and be very affective in this one! If he does not play we will not be putting any money on the Suns but if he plays- they are a sure fire LOCK! They have lost their last 5 games against the Timberwolves and should be really focused on this one at home.

1 Unit Pick: Suns +1.5 (if Durant plays)
