Three games and three NBA tips for December 9th, 2021.
A 2-1 record on Tuesday brings up to 30-14 on the season. I personally got the Nets at -2 instead of -4 at BetOnline so that was a win for me. This is a good reminder to always check out the sportsbooks I link to below the tips. Sometimes it can help make you some money.
Utah Jazz at Philadelphia 76ers Betting Tips:
Both of these teams are on back-to-backs, but the 76ers are playing their third game in five nights which demotes their chances a bit more.
The Jazz are playing very well right now with five straight wins and wins in nine out of the past eleven games. They are kind of being overlooked because of how well the Suns and Warriors have been playing, but they are right in that level of team.
I don’t think that 76ers are quite at that level, at least without Ben Simmons or the Ben Simmons replacement. This is a tough match-up for them because the Jazz have a guy who can go right at Joel Embiid, have much better shooting, and size in the backcourt.
Pick: Bet Jazz -3.5

Los Angeles Lakers at Memphis Grizzlies Betting Tips:
The Lakers have had their struggles this year, but this team should still be considered a title contender as long as they have LeBron James. They had an impressive win on Tuesday over the Celtics and have now won three out of the last four games. There are still going to be some growing pains with this roster, but I like the way they are looking of late.
Memphis just had a winning streak come to an end and they are playing their third game in four nights here.
I hate to take two road favorites, but I think the Lakers are going to continue their winning ways here. As long as Davis and James take the court, they have the talent to beat anyone and should be able to handle the Grizzlies here.
Pick: Bet Lakers -3.5

Denver Nuggets at San Antonio Spurs Betting Tips:
The injured list for Denver is probably the longest in the league. Last night it was basically Jokic and the Pelicans decided to focus on stopping him. He had 39 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. Tonight will be the third game in four night, fourth game in six nights, and second half of a back-to-back – all of which have been on the road. With all the injuries and travel, something has to give here. The starters all played big minutes last night as well.
San Antonio has been playing respectable basketball of late. Wins in four of the last six and some close losses that beat the spread. This team is no pushover and you know they are going to play hard. They are on the second game of a home stand and lost the first so you know they want to get that win back tonight.
Pick: Bet Spurs +1.5
