Stephen Curry just got off the hook, spoiling Fantasy Alarm’s Meatloaf, and now there is a sour taste in our NBA best bets bankroll. Jamal Murray was not needed as Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter displayed their great offense, thus going under 21.5 points.

Walker Kessler of the Utah Jazz came through once again and proved to be one of the most reliable rebounders in the Association. That kept the damage to a minimum in yesterday’s NBA best bets and there will be an eye on Kessler’s rebounding lines going forward.

 

 

 

NBA Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 2/4

There are seven matches today, two of which are nationally televised on TNT. To read about the NBA best bets for the first match between the Celtics vs. Cavaliers, check out our article at Wager Alarm.

The Bet of the Night comes from the second match on TNT.

 

 

 

Lakers vs. Clippers Prediction: Kawhi Leonard Over 4.5 Rebounds (-145 on Bet365) *2.0 U, Bet of the Night

The Los Angeles Clippers host the Los Angeles Lakers at the Intuit Dome, and it is an important match. No longer will the court's logo have to be changed, as the Clippers are truly settling into their new home. 

The Clippers destroyed the Lakers in the last match at the Intuit Dome, and are favored once again. They are -8.0 favorites at home, and there is a great deal of ‘weight’ to this match. The Lakers are fifth, and the Clippers sixth in the Western Conference, with only one game separating them. Should the Clippers win, they would move into fifth by leapfrogging the Lakers.

The Clippers have won six of their last ten matches, and Kawhi Leonard has played the last six games. He is averaging 24.5 minutes and 4.5 rebounds per game and appears to be healthy. He has earned five or more rebounds in his last four games, and five of his last six games.

The Lakers no longer have Anthony Davis, LeBron James is listed as day-to-day, and Luka Doncic is not expected to play. There are several rebounds available for Kawhi Leonard, and he should take advantage of the opportunities. Put two units on Kawhi to earn five or more rebounds against a depleted Lakers front court.

 

 

 

Knicks vs. Raptors Prediction: Karl-Anthony Towns Under 12.5 Rebounds (-115 on Bet365)

The unders have been brutal as of late, but one under has been particularly kind to the Fantasy Alarm Betting Bungalow. The starting All-Star center of the Eastern Conference, Karl-Anthony Towns. Towns is having an excellent season, but he has not been rebounding that well lately.

He has eleven or less rebounds in his last four games and six of his last eight. Teammate Josh Hart continues to attack the glass, and Towns has been playing tough Western Conference centers in his last five matches.

He and the New York Knicks now are playing an international match at Scotiabank Arena against the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors are on a roll and Toronto has become a tougher place to play. They have great rebounders in Jakob Poeltl, Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, and Bruce Brown

Rebounding could be tough, and Towns has several factors working against him. Poor rebounding performances, a second game in as many nights, and international travel required after a come from behind game. He also does not close out games for the Knicks, and has a tendency to get in foul trouble. 

Put a unit on Karl-Anthony Towns to once again record less than 13 rebounds.

 

 

 

NBA Player Props & Other Picks Today, 2/3

In looking for other NBA best bets, nothing seems as reliable as The Well.

With that in mind, we have a pick on the new-look Chicago Bulls.

 

 

 

Heat vs. Bulls Prediction: Nikola Vucevic Over 10.5 Rebounds (-130 on Bet365)

Nikola Vucevic has provided time and again for the Fantasy Alarm Betting Bungalow. He has filled many cups and is poised to do so again. The Well even was profitable after initially being declared a miss. 

A stat correction provided profit in Vucevic’s most recent match. Now the Bulls host the Miami Heat at the United Center. The Bulls will be without Zach Lavine who has been traded away to join his old teammate DeMar DeRozan in Sacramento.

That should help clear the path for Nikola Vucevic who could still be traded before the deadline Thursday. Tonight, against a smaller Bam Adebayo, he should cruise his way to over 10.5 rebounds.

The Chicago Bulls surprisingly have a worse record at home than they do on the road. Three more losses at home. Look for Vucevic to continue his streak of elven or more rebounds against the Heat. Put a unit on The Well to deliver again.
