Orlando Magic vs Toronto Raptors

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14

Scotiabank Arena Toronto, ON

The Orlando Magic will travel to take on Toronto on Tuesday. Orlando sit 13th place in the Eastern Conference with a 23-34 record, while the Raptors are currently third in the East.

To predict which team will come out on top, it is important to assess each team’s current form. The Magic have been inconsistent lately, they lost Miami Heat yesterday. On the other side of things, Toronto has been playing well and just recently secured a hard-fought victory against Detroit, with a one-point victory.

Players such as Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic have been leading Orlando’s charge offensively this season, averaging 22.9 and 20 .1 points per game respectively. For Toronto, Pascal Siakam has been their best player with his ability to score, dish out assists and lead the team on both ends of the floor.

Orlando Magic vs Toronto Raptors Prediction:

Based on current form, it looks like Toronto will come out victorious in this matchup as they have proven to be a better team overall this season. It will be important for Orlando to contain Lowry if they want any chance of pulling off an upset win over the Raptors. Our prediction is that Toronto will get the W at home.

Orlando Magic vs Toronto Raptors betting tip:

Toronto starts favourites at $1.41 to Orlando $3.00

Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14

Fiserv Forum Milwaukee, WI

The Boston Celtics will face off against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. The Celtics currently sit top in the Eastern Conference with a 41-16 record, while the Bucks top the conference with a 39-17 record.

When looking at current form, both teams have been performing well lately. The Celtics are coming off a win over Memphis, while Milwaukee’s had a victory over the LA Clippers.

Boston is led by their two star players in Jayson Tatum, who has averaged 22.5 points points per game respectively this season. On the other end of things, Giannis Antetokounmpo has had an MVP calibre season and averages 29 points.

Boston Celtics vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction:

Given the form of both teams, this is expected to be a close matchup. With the home advantage and Antetokounmpo’s stellar performance this season, we think the Bucks will come out with a narrow victory in this one.

Sacramento Kings vs Phoenix Suns

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14

Footprint Center Phoenix, AZ

The Sacramento Kings will travel to Phoenix on Tuesday in search of another win. The Kings are currently third place in the Western Conference with a 32-24 record, while the Suns are chasing a playoff berth, sitting fifth in the West with a 31-27 record.

To get an idea of which team is likely to come out victorious, it is important to consider both teams’ current form. The Kings won their last game against Dallas. On the other hand, Phoenix has been inconsistent lately with a loss against Atlanta, before a victory over Indiana.

De’Aaron Fox has been leading Sacramento offensively this season, averaging 22 points per game. However, Devin Booker has had an even better season for the Suns, scoring 26 points per game.

Sacramento Kings vs Phoenix Suns Prediction:

Based on current form and the fact that Phoenix will have home advantage, it looks like the Suns will come out with a victory in this one. Our prediction is that Phoenix gets the W at home.

Sacramento Kings vs Phoenix Suns betting tip:

Phoenix starts favourites at $1.65 to Sacramento $2.30.

 

Golden State Warriors LA Clippers

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14

The Clippers lost their last game against Milwaukee, while GSW lost to the Lakers.

Stephen Curry has been carrying most of the load for Golden State this season, averaging 30 points per game. On the other end of things, Leonard and George have been performing very well for LA and both average over 20 points per game.

Golden State Warriors vs LA Clippers Prediction:

Given the current form of both teams and the fact that LA will have home advantage, it is likely that the Clippers come out with a victory in this one. Our prediction is that LA gets the W at home.

Golden State Warriors vs LA Clippers betting tip:

Washington Wizards Portland Trail Blazers

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14

Moda Center Portland, OR

The Washington Wizards are set to take on the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. The Wizards sit ninth in the Eastern Conference with a 26-29 record, while the Trail Blazers are 12th in the West with a 27-29 record.

Considering both teams’ current form, Washington have won two of their last three games, while Portland lost their last game against Oakland.

Washington is powered by star player Bradley Beal who averages 30 points per game this season. On the other end of things, CJ McCollum has been leading the charge for Portland and has averaged 26 points per game this season.

Washington Wizards vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction:

This should be an interesting matchup between two teams that have been struggling to find their form. We think the Trail Blazers will come out with the win due to home advantage and McCollum’s impressive performance this season. Our prediction is that Portland gets the W at home.

Portland starts favourites at $1.62 to Washington $2.65.
