Celtics vs. Suns grudge game: The top four NBA games on Saturday, Feb. 4 – CODE Bet

CHARLOTTE HORNETS @ DETROIT PISTONS

Two of the East’s weakest teams, the game would normally be the “over” as both Detroit and Charlotte are in the top 4 in their games and hit the over, but on the second night of a back-to-back the Hornets struggle to hold your own until big numbers and are 2-5.

Watch for Detroit to add a little more to Bojan Bogdanovic’s trade value after the Croatian lost 29 at the Mavs on Tuesday and picked up a big home win despite his dismal record at Little Caesars Arena.

SACRAMENTO KINGS @ INDIANA PACERS

The Souvlaki King (s/o NBA Straya)-Haliburton Bowl! After Domantas Sabonis and Tyrese Haliburton were traded for each other last year, the Kings and Pacers struck a rare win-win trade.

Haliburton has become an All-Star in Indy, while Sabonis (already an All-Star) helped lead the Kings to their best season in nearly two decades.

With Haliburton just coming back from a knee injury and falling just under 1 point against the Lakers on Friday, it’s likely he’ll sit out against his old team.

It also means Indy — 2-10 without Haliburton this season — will struggle to keep up with her former center’s new roster, which has the NBA’s fifth-best road record this season (13-10).

PHOENIX SUNS @ BOSTON CELTICS

Boston wiped out the Nets by 45 points Thursday while the Suns suffered a 32-point loss at home to Atlanta. At 37-15, Boston is the best team in the NBA and the Suns will struggle to keep up.

Look for the Suns to slow down Jayson Tatum (he’s averaged just 23 points per game in his last six games against Phoenix but is averaging 33 points at home this year), but get overwhelmed by the Celtics’ multi-faceted offense.

Chris Paul, Mikal Bridges and Deandre Ayton just won’t be enough to lead the way without Devin Booker.

ATLANTA HAWKS @ UTAH JAZZ

Atlanta hasn’t beaten Utah since 2019, but this year’s version, and particularly the backcourt of Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, will be a tough duel for Jazz’s offensive guards like Jordan Clarkson, Collin Sexton and Malik Beasley.

Atlanta has the ninth best record on the road this year (13-15) and has a string of big bodies to try and contain newly minted All-Star Lauri ‘The Finnisher’ Markkanen, so look out for excitement.
