It is another glorious week in the bubble, and the 22 teams have shown us, so far, that they brought the fire with them. We have had some interesting games and some particularly surprising upset. But that is what makes us love the NBA. Matches continue back to back this week, and we would be looking at betting tips for some of the matches holding on Thursday, August 13.
The first match on the lineup is Washington Wizards vs. Boston Celtics. The Boston Celtics have enjoyed a good run in the bubble, winning 3 out of 5 matches so far. Last Thursday, they showed the Toronto Raptors who was boss with a 22-point lead (122-100). The Washington Wizards have not found favour at all in the bubble, losing all 5 of their games till this point.
Washington Wizards and Boston Celtics have met 307 times in the regular seasons in the past, and Boston Celtics won 192 of those meetings. The Celtics have also won 4 out of their last 5 meetings with the Wizards, although the Wizards won their last meeting against the Celtics meeting 99-94, the least scoreline in all past 5 meetings, as all past meetings have ended in a total scoreline above 200 points.
Next, we watch Sacramento Kings take on the Los Angeles Lakers. The Los Angeles Lakers have been walking on eggshells in the bubble, losing some very interesting fixtures. They lost their last Saturday game against the Indiana Pacers 116-111. Sacramento Kings did not fare better in their game against the Brooklyn Nets, losing it by over 10 points (119-106).

Right after that, we see the Milwaukee Bucks battle the Memphis Grizzlies. The Bucks are still trying to find a strong footing in the bubble, although they have been playing very good games. They lost their last Saturday game against the Dallas Mavericks by 4 points (136-132), although the game went into overtime. The Memphis Grizzlies won their last Friday game against Oklahoma City Thunder 121-92.
