Four NBA tips for February 8th, 2022.
We have a 61-40 record on the season.
The NBA trade deadline is just two days away so be careful betting out there. You never know when a move will happen that completely changes the night’s game. It can also create some great values when that happens. There is one tip for tonight based 100% behind recent trades.
Phoenix Suns at Philadelphia 76ers Betting Tips:
The Suns are on their third game in four nights and the second half of a back-to-back. The travel has been especially brutal here as they’ve gone from Washington to Chicago and now back to Philadelphia. Changing time zones, even just one, isn’t fun.
Philly is well rested here, but could be without Matisse Thybulle who has been great for them of late. Their play has been uneven of late with wins against the Bulls and Grizzlies, and losses against the Wizards and Mavericks. One thing I’ll say about this team is they are absolutely a threat to make a big trade at any time now so things can change.
I don’t see the best version of the Suns showing up here because of the recent travel while the Sixers are just not a big scoring team.

Los Angeles Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies Betting Tips:
The Clippers are a scrappy team that can surprise you if you’re not ready for them, but they just don’t have the firepower without Paul George and Kawhi Leonard to compete against the best teams in the league. The Memphis Grizzlies are one of the best teams in the league.
Memphis is 37-18 on the season and have won five of their past eight games. They make their return home here after a three-game road trip and have had two nights heading into this one. I see no reason why the best version of this team doesn’t show up tonight.
Pick: Bet Grizzlies -8

Milwaukee Bucks at Los Angeles Lakers Betting Tips:
This line makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. The Bucks are starting to get hot with three straight wins and wins in four of the last five. The team is finally healthy and they are really putting it together right now. They’ve scored 137 points in back-to-back games.
Tonight they play the Lakers who are not putting it together right now. Last game out was the first time they’ve had LeBron James and Anthony Davis and they struggled to beat the Knicks, needing overtime to do so. The Bucks aren’t the Knicks.
Milwaukee has a better offense, much better defense, and just a more athletic team overall. I think they cover easily.
Pick: Bet Bucks -3.5

Orlando Magic at Portland Trail Blazers Betting Tips:
This is a game where you have to bet on the Magic just because of what the roster is likely to look like for Portland.
Portland traded away CJ McCollum, Larry Nance, and Tony Snell this morning after trading Norman Powell and Robert Covington a day ago. Who is left besides Anfernee Simons? Damian Lillard is hurt and the rest of the roster should be a collection of role players.
The Magic aren’t good, but they are good enough to beat a G-League team.
Pick: Bet Magic -1
