NBA Saturday multi tips – February 9 basketball odds & analysis
It’s that special time of year where the action of NBA games takes a backseat to All-Star hype and a flurry of incredible trades.
If you’ve woken up this morning and don’t recognise your team anymore, we can’t blame you.
Dozens of players swapped clubs, throwing NBA championship markets into a spin.
What the flurry of activity does provide us is an opportunity to get some real value in daily betting markets.

Saturday will begin with eight matches, all of which offering a fascinating storyline to follow.
Two of the top teams in the league will kick off the day when the 34-20 76ers host the 37-17 Nuggets.
The newest addition to the 76ers starting five, Tobias Harris, will be a massive inclusion at the power forward position.
After a form slump this past month, the Pistons have begun their climb back into playoffs contention.
New York is currently on a 14-match losing streak, with a match against the in-form Pistons next on its agenda.
Since injuring his lower leg three months ago, it appeared Caris LeVert was out for the season, but an incredibly-fast recovery means he will challenge the Bulls alongside his Nets teammates this Saturday.
The inclusion of LeVert is enough to make the match worth keeping an eye on.
With the trade deadline about to hit, the Bucks magically pulled off one of the steals of the year.
Acquiring Nikola Mirotic from the Pelicans is a huge trade for Milwaukee, who is in desperate need of more three-point threats coming off the bench.
The Bucks will take on the Mavericks in Dallas, a battle of the two European stars – Giannis Antetokounmpo and Luka Doncic.
Rounding out the day’s action will be a match between the Miami Heat and the Sacramento Kings.
Harrison Barnes was surprisingly traded to the Kings mid-game and was forced to sit out the fourth quarter.

NBA Saturday February 9th multi analysis
Ben Simmons and the 76ers will need their outside shooting to click in order to beat the Denver Nuggets.
The Nuggets are good on the defensive end of the court, but can be exposed from beyond the arc and mid-range, as their guards are slightly undersized.
Tobias Harris could be a key for the 76ers. He has the height and skill to shoot over his defender or find the open man — two abilities that should allow him to flourish in Philadelphia colours.
With the inclusion of Caris LeVert and the continued development of DeAngelo Russell, the Nets are shaping up to be a dark horse in the playoffs.
The Bulls are a good team to boost your confidence against, especially for a side with players returning from long-term injuries like the Nets.
Milwaukee has the best record in the NBA, sitting atop the standings at 40-13, two matches clear of the second-placed Warriors.
With this in mind, it would be difficult for the Mavericks, who are still waiting for Kristaps Porzingis to return from injury, to have any hope here..
The addition of Harrison Barnes to the Kings organisation is extremely beneficial.
A Champion with the Warriors back in 2015 and a leader for the Mavericks since 2016, Barnes is experienced enough to lead the young Kings into a successful era. The Kings will celebrate the acquisition with a win.
