My National Basketball Association predictions for Tuesday, January 23rd, 2024 (Predicted on Tuesday, January 23rd, 2024)
Today is the 23rd day of the year. January 23rd can be written as 1/23/2024 or 23/1/2024. There are exactly 343 days left in the year 2024 after today.
Denver Nuggets (30-14, 13-10 Away) at Indiana Pacers (24-19, 13-8 Home)
Denver will be 7 wins and 6 losses better than Indiana if the Nuggets win. Indiana will be 5 wins and 4 losses worse than Denver if the Pacers win.
Denver will be 1 win better and 1 loss worse with their away record than Indiana with their home record if the Nuggets win. Indiana will be 1 win better and 3 losses better with their home record and than Denver with their away record if the Pacers win.
23 is the 9th prime number. Indiana can pick up their 9th home loss today. Denver has played 23 away games this season already. Indiana has 24 regular season wins. Tomorrow is the 24th of January.
Nine is in the 4th prime number.
343 is “IN” the 68th prime number. 2,309 is the 343rd prime number.
These teams have played once during the regular season. Previous matchup: Nuggets won on January 14th 117-109 versus Pacers. 226 points scored.
These teams have played a combined 85 games NOT against each other in the regular season.
85 is “IN” the 23rd prime number. 439 is the 85th prime number.
83 is the 23rd prime number. 431 is the 83rd prime number. “Colorado” is 83 in the most simple cipher of Gematria. (Denver will also “still” have the numbers of 4, 3 and 1 in their overall won-lost record if they win today.)
This is Denver’s 45th regular season game. 45 is “IN” the 14th prime number. 197 is the 45th prime number. (Denver can stay on 14 regular season losses and pick up their 14th regular season win on the road. Or, Indiana could also pick up their 14th regular season win at home.)
This is Indiana’s 44th regular season game. 44 is “IN” the 14th prime number. 193 is the 44th prime number. (Indiana can have the numbers 1, 9, and 3 in their home won-lost record if they actually lose today.)
This is Denver’s 24th road game. 24 is “IN” the 9th prime number. 89 is the 24th prime number.
This is Indiana’s 22nd home game. 22 is “IN” the 8th prime number. 79 is the 22nd prime number.
The average number (exclusively of road games for Denver and home games for Indiana) combined is 23.
Denver is 20-30 all-time at Indiana. This is the 51st matchup at Indiana.
21 is “IN” the 8th prime number. 73 is the 21st prime number. 30 is “IN” the 10th prime number. 113 is the 30th prime number.
20 is “IN” the 8th prime number. 71 is the 20th prime number. 31 is the 11th prime number. (Denver could pick up their 11th away loss this regular season.) 127 is the 31st prime number.
51 is “IN” the 15th prime number. (Denver could pick up their 15th loss.) 233 is the 51st prime number.
Denver is 53-46 all-time against Indiana. This is the 100th matchup versus Indiana.
54 is “IN” the 16th prime number. 251 is the 54th prime number. (Indiana can pick up their 25th regular season win or be denied their 25th regular season win for the third straight game.) 46 is “IN” the 14th prime number. (Denver can pick up their 14th away win and stay on 14 regular season losses. Or, Indiana could also pick up their 14th home win.) 199 is the 46th prime number. (Indiana could stay on 19 regular season losses with a win.)
53 is the 16th prime number. 241 is the 53rd prime number. (Indiana can stay on 24 regular season wins in Denver’s 24th road game this regular season. Tomorrow is the 24th.) 47 is the 15th prime number. (Denver can pick up their 15th regular season loss today). 211 is the 47th prime number.

My NBA Predictions for Wednesday, January 24th, 2024 (Predicted on Wednesday, January 24th, 2024)
Charlotte Hornets (10-31, 5-17 Away) at Detroit Pistons (4-39, 2-20 Home)
ESPN's matchup predictor: Charlotte 35.3 percent chance to win, Detroit 64.7% chance to win
Charlotte can hit occultic number six with a road win today.
Or Detroit can hit occultic number three with a home win today.
In Gematria: (Ordinal/Reduction/Reverse/Reverse Reduction) ciphers
“Charlotte”: 102/39/141/51
Charlotte is 3-12 in their last 15 games. They can be 4-11 (like the numbers 141 rearranged) in their last 15 games with a win today.
Charlotte will be 1-2 (like 102) in their last 3 games if they lose. Charlotte is 3-9 in their last 12 games. They will still be 3-9 if they lose.
“Hornets”:
Gut reaction on prediction: Biased in favor of Charlotte. I feel like the Detroit Pistons have to keep losing so the NFL’s Detroit Lions can actually win the Super Bowl this year!
Prediction to win: Charlotte Hornets, Prediction to lose: Detroit Pistons
Minnesota Timberwolves (30-13, 13-9 Away) at Washington Wizards (7-35, 3-16 Home)
ESPN's matchup predictor: Minnesota 75.5% chance to win, Washington 24.5%
Prediction to win: Minnesota Timberwolves, Prediction to lose: Washington Wizards
Gut reaction on prediction: Probably the right call. I feel like the Timberwolves are one of the teams who might ACTUALLY win the NBA Finals this year!
Memphis Grizzlies (16-27, 12-12 Away) at Miami Heat (24-19, 12-8 Home)
ESPN's matchup predictor: Memphis 18.5% chance to win, Miami 81.5%
Gut reaction on prediction: Miami can stay on 24 wins on January 24th or pick up their 25th win and have exactly 25 wins on January 25th. I see Miami splitting today and tomorrow, they will win once and lose once.
Prediction to win: Memphis Grizzlies, Prediction to win: Miami Heat
Portland Trail Blazers (12-31, 5-19 Away) at Houston Rockets (20-22, 16-7 Home)
ESPN's matchup predictor: Portland 21.4% chance to win, Houston 78.6%
Prediction to win: Houston Rockets, Prediction to lose: Portland Trail Blazers
Gut reaction on prediction: My gut is telling me to pick Portland to win in a very biased way, but I don’t think I can do it! Portland is on a two-game losing streak currently, it isn’t like this is a four or ten-game losing streak! Houston is a 10.5 point favorite as I am typing this. Generally speaking, when the odds or in double digits, you should almost always take the favorite! Houston is playing their 24th home game today.
Cleveland Cavaliers (26-15, 11-7 Away) at Milwaukee Bucks (30-13, 19-4 Home)
ESPN's matchup predictor: Cleveland 43% chance to win, Milwaukee 57.0%
Gut reaction on prediction: Cleveland has won eight straight games. Five of those six wins were at home and the other one was outside of the United States in Paris, France. Cleveland also plays the Bucks in Milwaukee on Friday too. I don’t like Cleveland’s chances to win either of these games! Milwaukee has felt like a no-brainer prediction for much/most of the regular season to me! This will also be Milwaukee’s 24th home game tonight.
Prediction to win: Milwaukee Bucks, Prediction to lose: Cleveland Cavaliers
Phoenix Suns (25-18, 11-7 Away) at Dallas Mavericks (24-19, 13-10 Home)
ESPN's matchup predictor: Phoenix 57.9% chance to win, Dallas 42.1%
Gut reaction on prediction: I think the six-game winning streak (which started on January 11th) finally ends for the Suns today. Dallas won by 14 at the Suns on Christmas Day and this is Dallas’ 24th home game. Also, the Suns already have 25 wins (tomorrow is January 25th) and Dallas can pick up win number 25 right before the 25th of January starts! Dallas doesn’t have a game on the 25th (and neither does Phoenix), so it would or could make sense for Dallas to win tonight! Both teams do play on the 26th!
Prediction to win: Dallas Mavericks, Prediction to lose: Phoenix Suns
Oklahoma City Thunder (30-13, 13-8 Away) at San Antonio Spurs (8-35, 3-16 Home):
ESPN's matchup predictor: Oklahoma City 77.2% chance to win, San Antonio 22.8%
Gut reaction to prediction: I don’t know about this game. I think picking the Thunder to win is the much safer option/wiser choice. Oklahoma City has won three in a row, so they are due to lose a game very soon!
Prediction to win: Oklahoma City Thunder, Prediction to lose: San Antonio Spurs
Atlanta Hawks (18-25, 10-13 Away) at Golden State Warriors (18-22, 11-11 Home):
ESPN's matchup predictor: Atlanta 20.2 percent chance to win, Golden State 79.8%
Gut reaction to prediction: I like the Hawks to win this game believe it or not. I just feel like the Warriors are more likely than not going to lose this game. This game is their 23rd home game of the regular season and they can pick up their 23rd regular season loss. Maybe I will change this game prediction before game time.
Additional notes (before the first post about today’s games): You know what, I don’t see the San Francisco 49ers winning the Super Bowl this year, so I can’t see the Warriors actually losing this game and having their won-lost record at home fall to 11-12, like the Super Bowl is on 2/11/2024 or 11/2/2024 this year! It has been 19 days since the Warriors last won a game at home (January 5th), so it feels like they can get the job done and win their 19th game of the season and also deny the Hawks the opportunity to get their 19th win of the season! The Hawks can pick up their 14th away loss tonight and maybe it will be an emotional win in the Warriors first game since the death of one of the Warriors coaches Dejan Milojević. The Warriors last home game was 14 days ago.
I might change my prediction and pick the Hawks to win at the last minute. This will most likely be a final decision right before game time.
Prediction to win: Golden State Warriors, Prediction to lose: Atlanta Hawks

Prediction to win: Philadelphia 76ers, Prediction to lose: Indiana Pacers

My NBA Predictions for Saturday, January 27th, 2024 (Predicted on Saturday, January 27th, 2024)
I am very interested to see what happens in the Washington Wizards at Detroit Pistons game today.
This is all very fascinating.
The Pistons lost at home against the Wizards two months ago today 126-107 on 11/27 or 27/11. The Pistons are currently 5-39. 2,711 is the 395th prime number.
A win by the Pistons today will put them 33 games below .500.
The Pistons can improve to 6-39. 639 is "IN" the 115th prime number. The last game the Pistons played at home versus the Wizards was on 1/15 or 15/1. The Pistons won that game 129-117. 129 is the 31st prime number. The Wizards will be 7-38 if they lose today, 31 games below .500. Today is 1/27 or 27/1. 127 is the 31st prime number. 271 is the 58th prime number like how the Detroit Lions of the NFL could win Super Bowl LVIII (58) on 2/11 or 11/2 the 42nd day of the year!
If the Pistons win, the Pistons will be 4-20 at home while the Wizards will be 4-20 on the road.
The Pistons will be "IN" the 99th prime number if they lose today and they will be 5-40. 523 is the 99th prime number. 541 is the 100th prime number. The Pistons will also be 3-21 at home with a loss today and 321 is "IN" the 66th prime number. 420 is "IN" the 81st prime number and 421 is the 82nd prime number.
The game starts at noon Eastern Time today. 37 is the 12th prime number. The Washington Wizards will be 8-37 with a win today. So the Wizards will stay on 37 losses!
The last time I checked this is what it said on the ESPN website for the following: ESPN’s Matchup Predictor: Washington 35.5 percent chance to win, DET 64.5%, Latest Line: DET -3.5, Over/Under 240.5
35 is "IN" the 11th prime number. The Wizards scored 117 points in their last game against the Pistons (at Detroit and lost)! So like the number 11 sort of and maybe the Wizards lose today. The Pistons have a 64.5 percent chance to win at home today. 645 is "IN" the 117th prime number like how Washington scored 117 points at Detroit in their last game against each other.
64 is "IN" the 18th prime number like how the Pistons could be 18 games below .500 at home. The Pistons will be 3-21 at home with a loss.
The Over/Under is 240.5. Like how with a Pistons win each team will be 4-20 as I previously explained. The numbers 4 and 2 are just in reverse. 241 is the 53rd prime number like how the Pistons can stay on 39 losses like 5-39 before today's game, like 53.
This is the 45th regular season game for both teams. 197 is the 45th prime number and the Wizards can stay on 19 away losses with a win.
This the 24th game away for the Wizards and at home for the Pistons. The Wizards can improve to 5-19 on the road. 519 is "IN" the 97th prime number. 97 is the 25th prime number. The next away game for the Wizards (and home game for the Pistons) will be their 25th. 89 is the 24th prime number.
The Pistons definitely seem like they have the stronger "narrative" to win today, but the Wizards narrative to win today seems very "sneaky". If Detroit doesn't win today, it will be a "humiliation ritual" against the team from the Washington D.C. area and perhaps the Detroit Lions will actually win Super Bowl 58 as a result.
If the Pistons win today, I like their chances to lose tomorrow (in the NBA) when the Detroit Lions are playing at the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL! I think the Lions will probably win on Sunday!
