The National Basketball Association is wrapping up the first month of the 2023 calendar year. Here are the three teams I like on January 30.

Sacramento Kings @ Minnesota Timberwolves– 8PM ET

Sacramento is third in the West with a record of 27 wins and 21 losses. Minnesota is fifth in the West with a record of 27 wins and 25 losses.

My Take:

The Timberwolves are winners of three straight and the Kings are losers of two straight. Both teams have won the same number of games, with Sacramento having four games in hand. Minnesota has a strong home record at 18-10, but Sacramento is the only team in the West with a winning record on the road at 11-10. Take Minnesota at this time at -1 and the under at 237. The Timberwolves are averaging 230 points this season in games they are involved in this season.

Golden State Warriors @ Oklahoma City Thunder– 8PM ET

Only one game separates the Warriors and the Thunder in the NBA Standings. The Warriors are at 25 wins and 24 losses in sixth place, and the Thunder are at 24 wins and 25 losses in 11th place.

My Take:

The Warriors are a dreadful road team this year at 6-18. That is why you take the Thunder at +4.5. The Warriors are playing high scoring basketball lately, so take the over at 241.5. Join Our Championships Competition Members Can View Hub Here

Toronto Raptors @ Phoenix Suns–9 PM ET

The Suns are at 26 wins and 25 losses, and are tied for eighth in the Western Conference with the New Orleans Pelicans. The Raptors are at 23 wins and 28 losses, and are 12th in the Eastern Conference.

My Take:

Devin Booker will miss his 18th straight game with a groin injury. The Raptors have an injury issue themselves as OG Anunoby has a sprained left wrist. Phoenix is playing better basketball lately without Booker as they have won six of 10 games. Take Phoenix (-1.5) as they are 18-8 at home, while Toronto is 8-16 on the road. Take the over at 220.5 as the Raptors have been involved in games with more than 220 points in six of their last eight games, and the Suns have been involved in games with more than 220 points in four of their last six games.
