We preview selected NBA fixtures taking place on the 21st and 22nd of January 2019.
Nets 6/10 vs Kings 12/10 21 Jan 2019, 22:30 Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York
Brooklyn Nets host the Sacramento Kings in New York, both teams are in search of their third consecutive wins and have lost one in their last five matches. I’m tipping Nets to make home advantage count here.
LA Lakers 47/10 vs Golden State Warriors 1/10 22. Jan 2019, 05:30 Los Angeles, USA Staples Center The Warriors will look to continue their winning streak after their 94-112 win against the Clippers. The Lakers will be without Lonzo Ball and LeBron James as the pair are both nursing injuries. This should be another regulation win for the Warriors that will see Demarcus Cousins get more game time.
H2H Since 2015 Lakers 6 – 10 Golden State Verdict: Golden State 1/10
Utah Jazz 9/10 vs Portland Trail Blazers 31/20 22. Jan 2019, 04:00 Salt Lake City, USA Vivint Smart Home Arena The Jazz are on a six-match winning run after a recent victory over the hapless Cleveland Cavaliers. The Trail Blazers will start their three-match road trip with a stop at Salt Lake City where they’re tipped to go down against the Jazz.
Head to Head Utah Jazz 8 – 9 Portland Verdict: Utah Jazz 9/10
The Celtics go into this match with the home advantage and have won three of their last encounters. The heat won the most recent meeting between the sides 115-99 on the 11th of January. Repeating the feat in Boston will prove a bridge too far, however.
Head to Head Boston 11 – 6 Miami Verdict: Boston 1/4
Memphis Grizzlies 11/20 vs New Orleans Pelicans 5/4 22. Jan 2019, 00:30 Memphis, USA FedExForum The Memphis Grizzlies are 12th in the Western Conference and will host the New Orleans Pelicans at the FedExForum. The Pelicans will look to round out their three-match road trip with a victory against a Grizzlies side that have only won one from 10 matches.
Head to Head Memphis 11 – 7 New Orleans Verdict: New Orleans 5/4
