NBA live stream and betting – top tips
Jazz vs Lakers – Saturday, January 12 at 03:00 GMT
Utah take on a Lakers side on Saturday knowing a win could springboard them over their Western Conference rivals. Both the Jazz and Lakers have endured mixed seasons to date. Spurts of form have lifted them into playoff contention before falling away. The pair head into this game locked in mid-table, with the playoffs a fading possibility.
Without LeBron James the Lakers have wobbled. They have lost five of their eight games without the NBA superstar. Yet this past week wins over the Mavericks and Pistons have instilled some confidence back in the side. The Pistons game was a 113-110 rout with Kyle Kuzma scoring a staggering 41 points. He is swiftly becoming the Lakers’ new go-to man.
The Jazz set up this weekend game with a 106-93 win over Orlando on Thursday which saw them turn in another strong defensive display. A resolute defence is Utah’s strength this season and that may be enough to keep the Lakers at bay.
Clippers vs Pistons – Saturday, January 12 at 20:30 GMT
The Pistons could come into this game off the back of four straight defeats this week — and that is good news for basketball betting fans. Because the Clippers are well worth backing for the win here!
This is the biggest Saturday night game for UK NBA live stream viewers and it’s worth betting on Los Angeles to get the job done. The Clippers are showing the Lakers you don’t need a superstar to lead the party. They could be on a four-game winning streak by Saturday and may soon claw above the Thunder into third place in the Western Conference.
Lou Williams sunk the Hornets on Wednesday with 27 points, while three of his team-mates also scored over 20. That team-wide ability to persistently score and get the side over 110 points has been the main benefit for LA this season. They are good to win on Saturday – a day after playing the Nuggets.
Wizards vs Raptors – Sunday, January 13 at 18:00 GMT
The big game on Sunday for UK punters comes from Washington. The Wizards are languishing in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference and in reality their season is already over for another year.
But for Toronto things are only just getting started! The Raptors are less than a game away from Eastern Conference-toppers Milwaukee and beat the Bucks 123-116 last Sunday. Wins over the Pacers and Hawks this week sets up the weekend nicely, with a clash at the Wizards following Saturday morning’s hosting of the Nets.
The Raptors remain reliant on Kawhi Leonard to plunder the opposition hoop. But he is yet to play on back-to-back nights for Toronto. That could change this weekend and he is well worth backing to top-score again on Sunday.
