NBA Betting Guide for February 9: Bucks In Need of Something

by

Feb 9, 2024

We have a six-game NBA slate in store on a Friday night, so as we take in yesterday’s trade deadline deals, here is our outlook on the association tonight.

Kicking off the night, the Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers will meet in South Philly, so for what should be a fun and entertaining high-scoring matchup, we have you covered with a +850 same-game parlay.

Moving along, both the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks find themselves as massive home favorites tonight, but all isn’t going well in Milwaukee in particular as they are now 1-5 under Doc Rivers and are fresh off an ugly home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves last night.

After the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers gave us a great game late last night, both teams are back in action tonight with the Nuggets travelling to Sacramento while the Lakers will host the Pelicans for what should be two strong late-night games to stay up for.

Let’s buckle up and pump out some winners as we head into Super Bowl weekend!
