NBA betting tips: 4 picks and predictions for Wednesday night

Jack Green makes his NBA predictions for Wednesday's games, with four picks against the spread.
Check out the Betway Insider's NBA picks and predictions page for tips throughout the 2020-21 NBA season.
Denver Nuggets (-2) vs Toronto Raptors
The Raptors’ disappointing season hit a new low on Monday as they were beaten by a Houston Rockets team that had lost 20 games in a row.
Toronto is now on a nine-game losing streak of its own, with six of those defeats coming by a margin of at least seven points.
The Nuggets have won nine of their last 11, rank sixth in the NBA in net rating and have a 12-6 record against Eastern Conference teams this season.
Chicago Bulls (-6) vs Cleveland Cavaliers
The Bulls have been inconsistent this season and are 4-6 over their 10 games in March, but they are worth backing on Wednesday night against a Cleveland team that has struggled since the end of January.
The Cavaliers have lost five of their seven games since the All-Star break, with four of those defeats coming by a margin of at least 14 points.
They have the worst net rating in the NBA and are just 5-15 on the road.
Charlotte Hornets (-3) vs Houston Rockets
Although they snapped their 20-game losing streak on Monday, it’s hard to see the Rockets coming away with the win against Charlotte.
The Hornets are fifth in the Eastern Conference with a 21-21 record and they’ve won four of their last seven games.
They’ve lost star rookie LaMelo Ball to a season-ending wrist injury but should still have enough to comfortably beat the Rockets, who are 4-15 against teams from the East this season.
Utah Jazz (-10) vs Brooklyn Nets
This is potentially a preview of the NBA Finals, but Brooklyn’s injury problems mean Wednesday night’s game is likely to be a one-sided win for the Jazz.
The Nets are missing Kevin Durant through injury and Kyrie Irving for personal reasons. James Harden carried them to a win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday, but he is also banged up and a quick turnaround to face the West’s best team will be too tough a test.
The Jazz have cooled off after a run of 20 wins in 21 games between January and February, but they’re still 31-11 this season, 16-2 at home and beat the Chicago Bulls 120-95 in their last game.
