NBA New Years 2023 odds, lines, point spreads
Phoenix Suns at Boston Celtics
Game time: 1:00 pm ET | 10:00 a. M. PT
Suns ML: -112
Celtics ML: -108
Spread: Suns -4.5
Over / Under: 214.5
Prediction: The Celtics generally play for or against the competition and with the Suns coming to town for their only visit, the Celtics should be motivated to show that they are still to be feared in the East. The problem is, this game falls on New Years Eve and Boston may be thinking more about leaving the TD Garden in time to celebrate than celebrating a victory. Take the Suns here.
Chicago Bulls at Indiana Pacers
Game time: 3:00 pm ET | 12:00 pm PT
Bulls ML: -110
ML markers: -110
Spread: Bulls -4.5
Over / Under: 222.0
Prediction: Every time Chicago plays Indiana it’s almost like a home game. There will be plenty of Bulls fans traveling to Indy for this one and they will be excited to see their team win on the road. That energy should propel the Bulls to an easy win here. Take the Bulls to cover the spread.
Dallas Mavericks at Sacramento Kings
Game time: 6:00 pm ET | 3:00 pm Pacific Time
Mavericks ML: -112
Reyes ML: -108
Propagation: Mavericks -1.0
Over / Under: 217.5
Prediction: Luka Doncic, Tim Hardaway Jr. and many other Mavs are still in the league’s health and safety protocols, so Kristaps Porzingis will have to continue to carry the load for Dallas. These two teams played on December 29 with the Kings stealing a victory by one point. Take the Mavs here in the game of revenge.
Miami Heat at Houston Rockets
Game time: 7:00 pm ET | 4:00 pm Pacific Time
Heat ML: -115
Rockets ML: -105
Spread: Heat -3.5
Over / Under: 217.5
Prediction: The Heat have won four games in a row and were happy Jimmy Butler was back in the lineup in the last two games. He’s listed as questionable on the injury report heading into the Rockets game with a right ankle injury. Without Butler, the offensive burden will fall on Tyler Herro, as most of the Heat’s players are on the league’s health and safety protocols. Regardless of whether Butler plays or not, take the Heat here to win and cover the difference.
Atlanta Hawks at Cleveland Cavaliers
Game time: 7:30 pm ET | 4:30 pm Pacific Time
Falcons ML: -110
Cavaliers ML: -110
Spread: Cavs -1.0
Over / Under: 215.5
Prediction: The Hawks need a win in the worst way, as they are on a three-game losing streak. They will start in 2023 on the road for four consecutive games on the West Coast. The end of the calendar year has been a struggle for the Hawks after they stunned Nate McMillian in the postseason. They would love to get a win to close the year on a good note. The only problem is that it won’t happen. Take the Cavs here.
LA Clippers at Toronto Raptors
Game time: 7:30 pm ET | 4:30 pm Pacific Time
Clippers ML: -110
Raptors ML: -110
Propagation: Raptors -7.0
Over / Under: 210.5
Prediction: Toronto received word Thursday that they will be playing without fans in the building for the foreseeable future. The Raptors spoke about how difficult it was last year without their home crowd to back them up. Playing at the SBA without a crowd on New Years Eve will be a tough place to get up. The Clippers are on a business trip and will win.
San Antonio Spurs at Memphis Grizzlies
Game time: 8:00 pm ET | 5:00 pm PT
Spurs ML: -110
Grizzlies ML: -110
Spread: Grizzlies -6.0
Over / Under: 225.5
Prediction: Buy Grizzlies stock. This team is emerging and they will be tough most nights. Grizz wins big over San Antonio.
New York Knicks at Oklahoma City Thunder
Game time: 8:00 pm ET | 5:00 pm PT
Knicks ML: -110
Thunder ML: -110
Spread: Knicks -5.0
Over / Under: 205.5
Prediction: SGA is questionable with right ankle pain and if he’s not playing the Thunder will have a hard time scoring more than usual. Take the Knicks here and under.
Minnesota Timberwolves at Utah Jazz
Game time: 9:00 pm ET | 6:00 pm PT
Timberwolves ML: -110
Jazz ML: -110
Spread: Jazz -11.5
Over / Under: 221.5
Prediction: I won’t waste my time here, Jazz wins this one but won’t cover the spread.
Portland Trail Blazers at Los Angeles Lakers
Game time: 10:30 pm ET | 7:30 pm Pacific Time
Trail Blazers ML: -110
Lakers ML: -110
Spread: Lakers -5.5
Over / Under: 226.5
Prediction: Damian Lillard loves to play in Los Angeles. I hope you have a great night and close 2023 on the right note. Take the Blazers.
