The final Friday of the year brings a slate of tantalising NBA games. All-Star voting is underway, and trade rumours are heating up. It’s that time of the year where each win or loss can impact significant decisions for a franchise – here are our three best bets for Friday night.

Sat, Dec 31. 00:40 (UK time)
Atlanta is 21st in defensive rating and 25th in rebounding rate over the last 10 games. In games without Anthony Davis, LeBron James’ production is monstrous. He averages over 32 points per contest without Davis since the start of last season, and often finds himself playing the five in ultra-small line ups.
James has only passed this line once in his last five, but both teams rank in the top 11 in pace over the last 10. Between the 11th and 18th of December, the four-time MVP hit this over in four straight contests.
Clint Capela is out, weakening the Hawks on the boards. De’Andre Hunter is questionable, taking away a viable option to guard James.
LeBron has been posting big numbers over the last few weeks, and even though the track record isn’t there, this is a matchup where we can expect a big night from the King.

Milwaukee has endured something of a blip, losing four in a row. Khris Middleton is out and Jrue Holiday is listed as day-to-day. It is arguably a surprise to see them favoured by so many over the Minnesota Timberwolves, but the road team are missing several rotation pieces, including Karl-Anthony Towns.
The Timberwolves are on the fourth game of a roadtrip. Only the Mavericks, Lakers and Heat have covered the spread less frequently this season.
Milwaukee might be missing key men, and they might not be playing their best basketball. They are still a much better team than this version of the Timberwolves, however, and should cover this alternate spread.

Utah lacks size. They are a subpar rebounding team, and their defence ranks in the bottom five for the season. Recently, Jakob Poeltl has dropped 16 and 9, Jalen Duren scored 15 and grabbed 14 boards, and Jarrett Allen put up 32 rebounds and assists against the Jazz.
Domantas Sabonis is playing through injury, but he is a more accomplished offensive player than all of those three. Sabonis has gone over this points and rebounds line in his last six games.
Only four players can better Sabonis’ rebounding rate. Only five can better his true shooting percentage. This is a matchup he can excel in. Even at a short price, there’s value here.

Acca Odds: 5.06
Odds as of 3:00 pm December 30th, 2022. Odds may now differ.
A basketball acca is an accumulator bet, a type of bet that consists of several selections across different matches that are combined together into one single bet. An acca usually. consists of at least four selections but many more can be included. There will be odds for the single bet as a whole which is calculated by multiplying the odds of all of the selections. A basketball acca is one of the most popular ways to bet. This is the case because they can create potentially massive odds for a small stake. Many punters choose to create basketball accas which is what we have created here. If one of these selections loses then the basketball acca will lose. This type of bet needs every selection to win in order to succeed.
