NBA - Boston Celtics v Utah Jazz (Saturday 16 December 11.35am)
Despite the Celtics losing two of their past five, that isn't really telling the full picture for this team and as a result, we may be able to make the most of it from a punting point of view. One loss was a shocker, going down 85-108 to the Bulls and the other a 102-105 loss to the Spurs. However on closer inspection, they were missing many key pieces against the Bulls, who produced their best win of the year, and the Spurs match was a genuine 50/50 before veteran Manu Ginobili hit a clutch shot in the dying seconds.
The Jazz on the other hand currently find themselves in a bit of a slump. Not only have they lost four in a row, three of them have been by six points or more.
Therefore, the Celtics at the line of -5.5 looks a solid bet.
NBA - Milwaukee Bucks v Chicago Bulls (Saturday 16 December 12.05pm)
The Bulls were our pay day last week (congratulations for those who took the $5.25 for them to beat Charlotte) but can they do it again?
While there is reason to be a bit more cautious, the Bulls covering the line of +8.5 against the Bucks looks appealing.
There is no doubt Milwaukee are the better team, as evidenced by sitting in fourth place in the East, but an argument could be made that the Bulls have been the form team of the last week, racking up four straight wins.
Milwaukee have the home court advantage but it's literally down the road for Chicago.
The only reason to be cautious is if Lauri Markkanen misses again, although Nikola Mirotic is in the form of his life with the Bulls set to give them a close call.
