It’s going to be a Wednesday night to remember with these two spectacular NBA matchups in store for your viewing and betting pleasure.
Starting things off will be LeBron James and the rest of his Cleveland Cavaliers (50-20) playing host to the Milwaukee Bucks (30-41). Both teams split their first two meetings this season and it’ll be interesting to see how things will unfold this time around.
[sc:NBA250 ]Later on, we head on over to Oracle Arena, wherein the NBA’s No. 1 team—Golden State Warriors (63-7)—square off with the Los Angeles Clippers (43-26) for their final regular-season encounter. This one’s bound to be a good one as well.
Read on below for a brief look at both of these matchups. And while you’re up for some hockey action as well, check out our preview of the Philadelphia Flyers and Colorado Avalanche.

[sc:NBA250 ]Following a lopsided loss to Miami, LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers unleashed their fury all over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night, 124-91.
Leading the way was none other than James, who tallied his 41st career triple-double (33 points, 11 boards, 11 dimes). That win also allowed the Cavs to claim win No. 50 and secure another division championship.
Now, James will hope to carry the Cavs once more to another victory when the Milwaukee Bucks come to town. In this matchup, James has been at his best form, averaging 28.6 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists across 45 career games.
Milwaukee, on the other hand, walks into Quicken Loans Arena as losers of back-to-back games opposite Utah and Detroit. They’ll need the pair of Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo to continue playing well tonight against Cleveland. Both lead the Bucks in scoring with 18.4 and 16.7 points per contest this season. But they might have their work cut out for them versus a Cavs defense that’s only giving up 97.8 points.
Cleveland is 8-2 SU and 4-6 ATS in its last 10 home games. Milwaukee, meanwhile, is 2-8 SU and 5-5 ATS in its past 10 road games.
Writer’s Prediction
Cleveland wins, 111-99.
Los Angeles Clippers vs. Golden State Warriors (10:30 PM ET)
Line: Los Angeles Clippers (+10) vs. Golden State Warriors (-10); total: 225.5 – view all NBA lines
Los Angeles’ been on a tailspin as of late, losing five of their previous seven games. The most recent loss came against New Orleans on Sunday night, 109-105. Chris Paul and J.J. Redick scored 24 points apiece despite the loss. Those two will need to muster up all the points they can again if they hope to hang around against the No. 1 offensive team in the league—the Golden State Warriors.
Speaking of the Warriors, they’ll be aiming to sweep their regular-season series with the Clippers. All of the first three meetings have gone their way and the Splash Brothers—Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson—is a testament to this dominance. The two are averaging 55.6 points combined in the three wins against Los Angeles this season.
Los Angeles is 5-5 SU and 4-6 ATS in its previous 10 road games. Golden State, meanwhile, is 10-10 ATS in its last 10 games at Oracle Arena.
Writer’s Prediction
Warriors win it, 114-103.
