Indiana kicks off the second half of the season with a four-game homestand, but it won’t be easy. They’ll face tough teams like the Grizzlies, Clippers, and Nuggets—three of the West’s top six—before finishing against the struggling Raptors.

Although they are good at putting up points, their defense is weak. They also struggle with rebounding and protecting the paint, allowing 11.2 offensive rebounds and over 50 points inside per game, ranking 25th overall.

MatchPlug Prediction For Memphis Grizzlies VS Indiana Pacers

Both the Memphis Grizzlies and the Indiana Pacers have been in good form this season.  

However, the Grizzlies have had the upper hand in this matchup, winning six of the last seven and covering the spread in all seven. 

With both teams in great form, the Grizzlies have a strong chance to continue their dominance in this matchup.

Final Prediction:  The Memphis

Betting Preview for LA Clippers VS Milwaukee Bucks

• Venue: Fiserv Forum
• Date: 21st February 2025
• Time: 02:00 AM
• Teams to play: LA Clippers VS Milwaukee Bucks
• Odds as provided by 1XBet.

Betting On The Milwaukee Bucks

• 1XBet Spread: +1.5
• 1XBet Moneyline: 2.008
• 1XBet Over/Under: Over 228.5

The Bucks struggled heading into the All-Star break, losing seven of their last 11 games. However, they did manage a 103-101 win over the Timberwolves in their final game before the break.  

Star player Giannis Antetokounmpo has missed the last six games with a calf injury, but it is possible that he may be present for this matchup. Giannis has been a real MVP this season. He ranks second in the NBA in scoring (31.8 PPG), fifth in rebounds (12.2 RPG), 24th in assists (5.9 APG), and eighth in field goal percentage (60.8%). 

Every time he’s on the court, it’s always a game-changer for the Bucks, especially with assistance from Lillad and Andre Jackson.

However, Damian Lillard and Andre Jackson have been sidelined with injuries and may not be present for this game.

Betting On LA Clippers

• 1XBet Spread: -1.5
• 1XBet Moneyline:  2.105
• 1XBet Over/Under: Under  228.5

The Clippers have been on fire this season. They went into the All-Star break on a three-game winning streak, beating the Jazz and the Grizzlies. Their offense has been impeccable,  averaging 126 points per game while shooting nearly 50% from the field and 38% from three.

The Clippers met the Bucks at home last month and secured a 127-117 win and are definitely eager to sweep the season series. 

MatchPlug Prediction For LA Clippers VS Milwaukee Bucks

Los Angeles already beat Milwaukee once this season and head into this game on a three-game winning streak. If Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard remain out, the Bucks’ struggle to defend their home will be more apparent.

If Milwaukee’s key players fail to attend Friday’s match, the Clippers could have another shot at a second win of the season.

Our prediction for the Bucks vs. Clippers matchup: The Clippers win.

Despite their challenges in the league, Dortmund secured a 3-0 aggregate victory over Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League and advanced in Europe after a goalless draw at home in midweek. 

Dortmund will need to deliver a strong performance to move ahead in this league.

While their struggles have been particularly evident in away games, they managed to end a seven game away defeats with a 4-0 win at Hoffenheim in their last match on the road.

MatchPlug Prediction For Dortmund VS Union Berlin

Borussia Dortmund have struggled this season and are in urgent need of a win. While they showed promise against Sporting Lisbon, they must step up in the league.
Union Berlin have been inconsistent and face a tough challenge on Saturday.
Comparing the current form of both teams, we predict a win for Dortmund in this matchup.

Final Prediction: over 2.5.

The Suns weren’t in their best form in the first half of the season which caused them to close with a tough stretch. 

They’ve lost seven of their last nine games before the break, including a 119-111 defeat to the Rockets to start a five-game road trip.  

The Suns who got off a rough start are still unable to recover and are currently on a three-game losing streak.  One silver lining they do have now is that Bradley Beal and Devin Booker are no longer on the injury report and are returning to action this Thursday.

Betting On San Antonio Spurs

• 1XBet Spread: +1.5
• 1XBet Moneyline: 2.325 
• 1XBet Over/Under: Over 237.5

The Spurs have struggled this season and struggle to face devastating losses. They entered the All-Star break after losing 116-103 to the Celtics, capping a tough six-game trip with just two wins twice.  

Gregg Popovich’s squad holds a 23-29 record, the fourth-worst in the West, with 18 losses against conference opponents. Their performance at home has also been inconsistent at 13-12.  

As they look to turn things around, they can only hope that their new player, Fox, will improve their chances of a win this Friday

However,  with Wembanyama’s absence this Thursday, the Spurs’ struggles could be even more apparent.  

MatchPlug Prediction For Phoenix Sun VS San Antonio Spurs

Both the Suns and Spurs have struggled this season, but the Suns have performed slightly better.  

The Suns won their first matchup against the Spurs this season and have a strong track record in their opponents home.

With their key players finally returning from injury, their chances of winning are high. Our Prediction for the Phoenix Sun VS San Antonio Spurs match is Phoenix Suns to win. 

Final Prediction: Phoenix Suns to win.
