NBA Predictions for February 9th 2022

The NBA season is moving along rapidly. Before you know it, we will be in the playoff season. The best part about the weekday NBA slate is the mega matchups. On Wednesday, we have a lot of great games.

Basketball Bookies

These all vary when it comes to betting value. However, as bettors, we can do a lot with today’s slate. Here is my top ATS, money line underdog, total, and two team parlay for Wednesday!

ATS Pick: Bulls -2

Bulls vs. Hornets Predictions

The Chicago Bulls have been one of the best teams in the East. They will go up against the Hornets on Wednesday. Charlotte has tried to stay afloat in the conference, but they are sliding.

Bettors have faith in the Hornets because they are waiting for their get-right game. Yet, I do not know if the get-right game will ever come. The Bulls are led by DeMar DeRozan, who has been great this year.

He will be the key player tonight and lead the Bulls to a road cover. I would not bet against Chicago with how DeRozan is playing. He is averaging 34.2 PPG and seemed virtually unstoppable in 2021-22.

I do not think this is the get-right game for the Hornets.

Basketball Odds

ML Underdog Pick: Warriors +108

Warriors vs. Jazz Predictions

The Warriors have been one of the best teams in the NBA this season. The team is 41-13, and they will face the Jazz on the road. Utah is 33-21 and a very talented club.

However, when you look at the odds value, it’s a no-brainer. You can get a team like the Warriors and get over a 100% return on your investment tonight.

The Warriors have some injuries, but the Jazz is not healthy either. Rudy Gobert is nonexistent.

This will give Golden State the opportunity to win in the paint. You will not find a better money line underdog on Wednesday night.

Game Total Pick: Spurs/Cavs Under 216

Spurs vs. Cavaliers Predictions

The Cavaliers have been one of the biggest surprises of the season. The team is 33-21 and 17-9 at home. If you need an extra ATS bet, take Cleveland vs. San Antonio tonight.

However, the total value is also fantastic in this game.

The total is set at 216 points, and Cleveland has been an under-machine. This is because they play fantastic defense. The Spurs do not have a potent offense, so this should be a recipe for an under on Wednesday.

Basketball Picks

Parlay Bet: Trail Blazers +9 / Timberwolves -9

Lakers vs. Trail Blazers Predictions / Timberwolves vs. Kings Predictions

The Trail Blazers will host the Lakers on Wednesday. Los Angeles is a much better team, but they play down to bad competition. Additionally, they have not shown up whatsoever in 2021-22.

LeBron James is having a career year, but he cannot do it all for his team. Take the home underdogs.

The second leg of the parlay is the Timberwolves against the Kings. Minnesota has been covering spreads a lot as of late. Sacramento has not been good in their recent games.

They are at home, but I think nine points is reasonable for Minnesota.

The combined odds are +258. $100 would pay out $358.
