NBA Wednesday Night Bets are here in this first full week of December. We are lucky that BetOnline online sportsbook is so efficient regarding the numbers. The regular season approaches two months old now. Yes, trends keep establishing themselves all the time. Now, fans get to watch two solid games as the Warriors tussle with the Jazz, and the Celtics are on the road against the Suns.
NBA Wednesday Night Numbers | |||
---|---|---|---|
Golden State Warriors | -110 | -110 | -110 |
Utah Jazz (-6.5) | -110 | -100 | -100 |
Boston Celtics (-1) | -110 | -110 | -110 |
Phoenix Suns | -110 | -110 | -110 |
Golden State keeps seeing injury after injury as they cannot stay healthy. There existed a time when Golden State had won seven of nine games and looked more like themselves. Since then, the Warriors have kept losing players. Even Utah is struggling, but the Warriors look like half the team they usually are. So, is taking Utah a solid idea for NBA Wednesday Night Bets?
Bluntly, coach Steve Kerr is uncertain what Golden State will bring to the table. Though overall, the Warriors have won seven of their last ten games, they are missing some key players. Those include Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Andrew Wiggins. That is 3/5 of an all-star lineup. For the Warriors, this presents a huge problem.
The talk about the Warriors not showing up in games like this is quite warranted. Whether the offense or defense shows up, the two phases are off without Green, Curry, and Wiggins. Worse, on the road, this Golden State team has won just twice in 13 contests this season. Even a struggling Jazz team has to win tonight, right? That feels like the prevailing thought process.
Therefore, NBA Wednesday Night Bets examines wager number one. How do we bet on the Jazz? That moneyline trends outward, which is troubling. The fun approach and way to increase bankroll may be to lay the 6.5 points if it stays in that range. Utah is averaging almost 120 points a game at home. That is a solid number for bettors. The Jazz giving up 6.5 points expects to be the top bet.
What about a few more NBA Wednesday Night Bets for the Jazz game? Think about how these teams have played kind of similarly to one other. There are some different wagers to consider for this night that one might not expect. Again, remember who is in and out of the lineups for each team. The Jazz is mostly healthy aside from Mike Conley, who is day-to-day with a leg injury. He comes in as a game-time decision.
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz struggle here as well. The Jazz only has won four of their last ten games, which includes a five-game losing streak. The Jazz scored just 111 points against Portland after scoring 139 and 125 in home wins versus the Pacers and Clippers. Unfortunately, trying to figure out the NBA can need a doctorate-level course in patience. Kindly wager sensibly on Wednesday night.
Granted, every team in the Western Conference knows the Utah Jazz miss Donovan Mitchell. Again, throw his numbers out the window and look at what Lauri Markkanen shows on a nightly basis for the Jazz. His 22.2 points per game are one thing, but the Finnish player leads in rebounds per game and free throws per contest attempted. Markkanen represents a threat who can play the three or the four on a nightly basis and not lose a step.
Finally, the one number betting experts look at is the following. While Bovada and BetOnline have stayed mostly at 233 or 234 with this game, other sites have pondered inching lower. The possibility of seeing a 230 would cause one to move to the over. Consequently, the under is our bet, at the current 234 for the NBA Wednesday Night Bets. Do watch this number.
The NBA Wednesday Night Bets welcome a rumble in Phoenix between the Boston Celtics and the Phoenix Suns. Wait, doesn’t this game have some star-power missing? Yes, Jae Crowder is out for Phoenix already, and Chris Paul is again a game-time decision due to a persistent heel issue. Boston has a few injuries to its depth, and Robert Williams is out again with a stubborn knee problem.
So, could Boston be undervalued on the road for this tilt? Okay, at VegasBetting, we are getting a bit cocky ahead of this matchup. Few are impressed by Phoenix’s 16-8 start in the short term. Monty Williams and his team have some nice metrics, including an overall net rating that ranks second. However, they just got pummeled by the Dallas Mavericks while yielding 130 points.
Yes, the dilemma with wagering on the NBA can be that a team just lays down even at home. Normally, Phoenix is reliable at home. However, against elite competition, the Suns sometimes melt in the sun literally. Yielding a whopping 67 first-half points to the Mavericks was even more astounding. What might happen against the 20-5 Boston Celtics tonight?
For the NBA Wednesday Night Bets, consider risking Boston laying just one point. The Celtics winning outright seems very likely, and do not be surprised if this spread moves toward two or even three points as the day progresses. Bovada remains at one point currently, but that may not last.
