Get ready to slam dunk your way into the latest NBA action as the season rolls on into Thursday! Here are BlueBet NBA betting predictions for the top 3 matchups.<\/p>\n
The Heat are coming off a disappointing loss on Tuesday with a 98-91 score against the undermanned 76ers, missing key players like Jimmy Butler, whose availability remains in question for the upcoming game. Additionally, Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson are out, further complicating matters for the Heat. Despite being 6-4 in their last 10 road games, they’ve been struggling to find their offensive rhythm, averaging just 99.8 points in the last 5 games. However, their defence has been holding up well, allowing only 100.8 points on average during the same period.<\/p>\n
Fresh off a narrow 5-point victory over the Pacers on the road, where Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen both contributed 23 points each, the Cavs face the challenge of Mitchell still being sidelined with injury. Despite this setback, they’re gearing up for a return to their home court on Thursday after three consecutive road games. Looking back, they clinched a win in their previous encounter in Miami with a score of 111-99, with Mitchell leading the charge with 27 points.<\/p>\n
Miami’s recent track record suggests a consistent trend of low-scoring games, with the total going under in their last seven matches overall and in their last five away games. Furthermore, in their matchups on the road against Cleveland, the total has gone under in 10 out of their last 14 encounters.<\/p>\n

Bobby Portis and Damian Lillard both put up impressive performances, scoring 31 points each. Although Antetokounmpo missed Sunday’s win over the Suns, there’s an update indicating that he’s questionable for Thursday’s game against the Celtics due to a hamstring issue. While they’ve had a decent record on the road recently with a 5-5 win-loss record, their performance in Boston hasn’t been great, with a record of 2-8 in their last ten games there.<\/p>\n The Celtics are simply on fire with a six-game winning streak, and they’re not just winning; they’re dominating. Their last two victories were by more than 25 points, and the last five were by double digits. Jaylen Brown was on fire on Tuesday, scoring 31 points at home as they crushed the Pistons 119-94. Although Tatum missed Monday’s win over the Pistons due to a back-to-back set, he’s set to return to action. Their home record is impressive, winning nine straight games and boasting a remarkable 31-3 record at the TD Garden this season. Over their last five games, they’ve been averaging an impressive 124 points scored while allowing an average of 103.2 points against them.<\/p>\n In the past 20 games for Milwaukee, the total score has ended up being lower than expected in 15 of them. Additionally, in their last 15 away games, the total has gone under in 12 instances. As for Boston, in their recent 12 games, the total score has gone under in 8 of them.<\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n Boston are 9-1 in their last 10 at home.
