20 Jan 02:00 Orlando Magic vs Philadelphia 76ers

I feel as if the 76ers are about to go on an impressive run of form. Joel Embiid returned from his injury this week and he is bullying teams right now. Magic has had a bad run of form, only winning one of their last 5, but one thing about their games is that they are always a close contest. Historically you should go with Philly here, the Magic only have one win against them in 10 head-to-head games. The Sixers should make it 4 wins in a row here.

20 Jan 05:00 Portland Trail Blazers vs Indiana Pacers

Pascal Siakam is going to make his debut here and I believe the Pacers are the team to go for. Tyrese Haliburton is also now listed as questionable, but this is the game he could make his return back from injury. Portland had a nice win against the Nets, but the Nets are a struggling offensive team, unlike the Pacers who have the best offense in the league. The Pacers picked up 3 wins in the 5 games Tyrese was missing, his returning would be good news for them, but this is the Blazers they rarely win two games in a row, take Indiana.

20 Jan 05:30 Los Angeles Lakers vs Brooklyn Nets

The Nets are currently 3-14 in their last 17 games and the news surrounding them is that they are going to trade some of their valuable players. It’s not looking positive in Brooklyn, and I don’t have the confidence in them to win this game. The Nets are struggling offensively, it would be a surprise if they got over 105 points. The Lakers are going to win this game to go above 500.
