Match Betting Previews
Dallas Mavericks versus Los Angeles Clippers - Wednesday, February 8th
Mavericks Nation will be looking at a new roster as Kyrie Irving has been acquired from the Brooklyn Nets.
Luka Doncic finally has a star player to accompany him, which should make for some very interesting basketball.
Trading away two key pieces and some draft picks, the Mavericks have made it clear that this year may be all-in.
The move does not really protect any of the future for Dallas and signifies aggressiveness and possible push from Luka Doncic.
His team has been deemed by many NBA fans as lacking, and the need for another big player has always been apparent.
In Kyrie Irving’s hands he will trust, while the whole rest of the NBA will hold their breath for what’s to come.
LA Clippers fans have been enjoying a very respectable spell of basketball, and now find themselves within the middle pack standings for the West.
Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are finally starting to get healthy and have bailed the team out for some crucial Ws in the past week.
The Clippers, if fully loaded, are one of the best rosters in the league.
They always love a rivalry with the Mavericks, and this series has been absolutely crazy these past two years.
This one is a must-watch, so proceed with caution!
Prediction - LA Clippers money line in a tough game which will see Kyrie Irving team up with Luka.
Philadelphia 76ers versus Brooklyn Nets - Saturday, February 11th
Joel Embiid and Kevin Durant will go head-to-head once again this upcoming Saturday.
Two stars with tons of respect, but also game against each other, will want to prove their worth this weekend.
Joel Embiid and the 76ers are absolutely rolling at the moment, and the steamroll is looking unstoppable.
A force unlike any other, Embiid has players like James Harden and Tyrese Maxey to dish off to for extra help.
Kevin Durant will be feeling the absence of his partner in crime, Kyrie Irving, which will definitely be a huge adjustment to his overall balance.
The Nets and how they will react to this trade will be something the league watches, and it could be progressive or backwards facing.
Prediction - Philly 76ers on the spread and over on total points.
