NBA Weekly Preview 7

Last Updated on dezembro 1, 2025 1:29 pm by Erwin Noguera

The seventh week of the regular season kicks off after an exciting Saturday that reminded us why the NBA is such a constant spectacle.

The day saw outstanding performances and renewed narratives: the Warriors proving they can compete without Stephen Curry, the Nuggets regaining the offensive fluidity that took them to the top, and Anthony Edwards stealing the show and defeating Boston.

It wasn’t the only surprise of the night. Dallas, despite a lackluster season so far, found a ray of hope in Cooper Flagg, the number one draft pick, who, at just 18 years old, showed flashes of talent and character against a Clippers team that continues to free-fall.

With that backdrop full of stories, the league enters Week 7, where the margin for error narrows and each game begins to shape the immediate future of the conferences.

No Troca de Gambila, you can explore all NBA predictions, the final bets for this matchday, and the odds for each match.

Semana 7 da NBA: Wizards vs. Bucks

The Wizards come into this game looking to reverse a trend that has weighed them down throughout the season. Although they have shown flashes of competitiveness, their recent record (only one win in their last ten games) confirms that the team has yet to find a clear identity.

Their home performance has not been encouraging either, with a very weak record against the spread and constant difficulties defending their board. Washington averages 112.5 points per game, a number that falls short of the 117.7 Milwaukee usually concedes, forcing the capital city team to play more efficiently if they want to compete.

Milwaukee, for its part, is going through an equally difficult period, especially away from home. The Bucks have lost four straight games on the road, and their recent performance speaks to an inconsistent team on both sides of the court.

However, their offensive ability remains superior to that of their rivals: they score 115.5 points per night, and when they reach high scores, they usually translate that into victories. If they find balance and control the pace, they should impose their hierarchy on a very weakened opponent.

Semana 7 da NBA: Magic vs. Bulls

Orlando comes into this game on fire. The Magic are enjoying one of their best stretches of the season, with eight wins in their last ten games and evident tactical and emotional strength.

Their record against the spread backs up their stability, as does their offense, which averages 119.3 points per game and punishes opponents who can’t keep up with their pace. They have been reliable at home, especially when they start as favorites, and their defense (one of the most disciplined in the East) often makes the difference. If their shooting efficiency stays above 47%, they have all the tools to control the game.

Chicago, on the other hand, is heading in the opposite direction. With a three-game losing streak and only three wins in their last ten games, the Bulls are mired in constant ups and downs. Although their offense has produced respectable numbers (119.9 per night), their defense has been an obvious problem, allowing too many easy drives and three-pointers.

They have also been unreliable on the road, especially against the spread, and their inconsistency in closing out games has been a recurring pattern. To compete in Orlando, they will need a night of high shooting percentages and a defense that has not been consistent.

Semana 7 da NBA: Nets vs. Hornets

Brooklyn faces this matchup trying to slow down a season that has become more complicated week after week. With a 3-16 record and an offense that averages just 108.4 points per night, the Nets have shown too many shortcomings in playmaking and efficiency.

Although curiously they have covered more spreads away from the Barclays Center, their home performance continues to be one of their biggest weaknesses.The defense, which allows almost 120 points per game, has also not given them room to compete when the offense is off.

Charlotte is not having a great season overall either, but it is in better shape than its rival. The Hornets have been more reliable when it comes to covering lines, and their offense has had better stretches, averaging 115.9 points per game.

When they exceed the 119-point mark, their winning percentage and spread coverage are very high, whichspeaks to the importance of imposing their pace early on.Although their defense has also been vulnerable, their recent balance and ability to find offensive streaks make them the better-prepared team for this matchup. If they manage to run the court and force Brooklyn to defend in transition, they should tip the scales in their favor.

Nets vs. Hornets Betting Pick: Hornets

Semana 7 da NBA: Heat vs. Clippers

The Heat come into this game riding high after a solid start to the season and are intent on continuing to impose their balanced style.Miami has been particularly effective at home, winning seven of its eleven home games, and its offense (one of the most consistent in the East with 123.6 points per night) has punished teams with defensive weaknesses. When they break the 118-point mark, their winning percentage skyrockets, making them the logical favorites against an opponent that is struggling.

The Clippers continue to search for answers in a campaign that has brought them more frustration than joy. With only five wins and a defense that allows 118.2 points per game, Los Angeles has not found the formula to stop the bleeding on the perimeter or stabilize its inside game. Even so, when they score close to 120 points, they tend to compete, but their inconsistency (especially on the road) puts them back on the ropes. Their shooting percentages are decent, but their lack of consistency on defense prevents them from sustaining leads. Against a team as disciplined as Miami, they will need a near-perfect performance.
