NBA Betting Guide for February 13: Thunder-Magic in the Spotlight

by

Feb 13, 2024

We have a small six-game NBA slate for tonight, but there certainly is no shortage of strong matchups.

Kicking off tonight’s TNT doubleheader, the Orlando Magic will host the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight as the Magic finally retire Shaquille O’Neal’s No. 32 jersey. On the court, both the Magic and Thunder have exceeded expectations this season so it will be a great opportunity to see two of the NBA’s best young teams go head to head, so we have you covered with a +1400 ultimate same-game parlay.

Elsewhere in the early window, the Boston Celtics will travel to face the Brooklyn Nets while the Milwaukee Bucks will host the Miami Heat fresh off a much needed victory against the Denver Nuggets last night.

The TNT doubleheader concludes with a matchup between the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns which certainly should be an electrifying and high-scoring game.

Wrapping up the slate, the Minnesota Timberwolves will face the Portland Trail Blazers after a statement win last night against the LA Clippers while the Los Angeles Lakers will host the Detroit Pistons.

Tonight should be a fun one, so let’s dive in and pump out some winners!
