Wednesday, December 15th
Houston Rockets @ Cleveland Cavaliers – 7:00pm ET
Atlanta Hawks @ Orlando Magic – 7:00pm ET
Miami Heat @ Philadelphia 76ers – 7:00pm ET
Los Angeles Lakers @ Dallas Mavericks – 7:30pm ET

Los Angeles Clippers @ Utah Jazz – 10:00pm ET
Memphis Grizzlies @ Portland Trail Blazers – 10:00pm ET
Washington Wizards @ Sacramento Kings – 10:00pm ET
Orlando Magic now sit at 5-23 after suffering a fifth loss in succession with the Los Angeles Lakers the latest team to get the better of them. They have won just one of their last 13 matches while they are 2-8 on home court this season. Atlanta Hawks have lost their last two but they have won four in succession on the road and having won the past four clashes between the two, they are favoured to come out on top once again.
Prediction: Atlanta Hawks to win
Indiana Pacers @ Milwaukee Bucks – 8:00pm ET
Milwaukee Bucks suffered a loss to Boston Celtics last time out in what was just their third loss in their last 15 games. All three of those defeats have occurred on the road while they have won eight straight on home court. On the other hand, Indiana Pacers have lost four of their last five on the road and with the Bucks winning the past six matchups between the pair, it is hard to see beyond a victory for the reigning champions.
Prediction: Milwaukee Bucks to win
Minnesota Timberwolves @ Denver Nuggets – 9:00pm ET
Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves have both struggled for consistency on the whole this season but there is a very obvious choice to prevail in this contest. The Nuggets possess an excellent head-to-head record against the Timberwolves having won all 12 of their most recent clashes stretching back to the end of 2018 so the home team have to be the pick to maintain that brilliant winning streak.
Prediction: Denver Nuggets to win
Memphis Grizzlies @ Portland Trail Blazers – 10:00pm ET
Portland Trail Blazers have struggled for a long period now and despite forcing overtime against Phoenix Suns last time out, they suffered a sixth straight loss. They have won just one of their last ten games and that is a huge worry for them as they host the in-form Memphis Grizzlies. The road team have won their last three and eight of their last nine. On top of that, it is four straight road wins for the Grizzlies and with the Trail Blazers losing their last five on home court, preference has to be for Memphis to prevail.
Prediction: Memphis Grizzlies to win
