Philadelphia 76ers vs Chicago Bulls Preview

Sat, Jan 07. 00:10 (UK time)

Joel Embiid remains out for the Philadelphia 76ers with a foot issue. Philadelphia is still favoured over the struggling Bulls. Even without Embiid, the Sixers beat the Pacers last time out, with James Harden starring. Harden put up 26, six and eight in the win, and the former MVP is in line for another big night on Friday.

Chicago is among the league’s worst defences over the last 10 games. They are also bottom-10 rebounding team over that span.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Chicago Bulls Best Bet

Doc Rivers named P.J. Tucker as the starting five in Embiid’s absence, opening up more rebounding opportunities for Harden and spacing the floor. He can orchestrate an impressive offensive performance from the Sixers, leading to a productive night as both a scorer and creator for others.

Selection: James Harden over 41.5 points, rebounds and assists
Best Odds: 1.80 (Bet365)
Stakes: 6/10

Los Angeles Lakers vs Atlanta Hawks Preview

Sat, Jan 07. 03:40 (UK time)

LeBron James sat out the game against the Heat, but the four-time MVP is expected to return here. A matter of days ago, he dropped 43, 11 and six on the Atlanta Hawks, and will be eyeing a similar performance in southern California.
After being dominated by James, Atlanta should be aggressive in sending help. James, of course, has the passing ability and vision to pick out open teammates if the Hawks do just that.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Atlanta Hawks Best Bet

Only the Raptors have a worse rebounding rate than the Hawks over the last 10. Their defence is below average, too. James has passed this line in each of his last three, including the majestic display in Atlanta.

Selection: LeBron James over 14.5 assists and rebounds
Best Odds: 1.80 (Bet365)
Stakes: 4/10

Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks Preview

Sat, Jan 07. 00:40 (UK time)

Following a five-game losing streak, the New York Knicks have won three games in a row. Toronto is on an ugly 3-10 run, and only six teams have a worse net rating over the last 10. New York is fifth by that metric over that time span.

No team has covered the spread more frequently than the Knicks on the road this season. Toronto has lost six of its last seven at home.

Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks Best Bet

The Knicks appear to have got back on track after something of a blip. RJ Barrett is a miss for the road team, but they should at least be able to keep this close. We’ve given them a couple of extra points on an alternate spread to take us to a 5.09 acca.

Selection: New York Knicks +6.5
Best Odds: 1.57 (Bet365)
Stakes: 3/10

What is a Basketball ACCA?

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.
