The Rockets and Clippers are the best example. Most fans expected the Clippers to win the past fixture. The Rockets then took over, put more pressure on, and scored a few points.

Cavaliers vs Hornets
The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Charlotte Hornets will face off on December 14, 2025. This NBA game will be held at the Rocket Arena.
The Cavaliers faced the Warriors in their last game; they maintain a decent record. The game was tight: the Warriors scored 99 points, and the Cavaliers scored 94. The first quarter was slow, both teams analyzed each other, and the Warriors scored a lot in the 2nd quarter. Even though the Cavaliers tried to score more in the 4th quarter, it was too late, and the Cavaliers lost. The Hornets faced the Denver Nuggets in their last game, and the Nuggets won with ease. Scored their points in the same rhythm since the start of the game and secured the win.
Predictions
Hornets have a pattern of gameplay; they score with the same rhythm. They do not slow down, nor do they push harder in the middle of their gameplay. Their strategy is what makes them easy to read. The Hornets do not have to worry about explosive pressure from the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers’ tempo is hard to analyze; they score heavily in the middle or late stages. But the Hornets cannot predict when the pressure will come. The Cavaliers are look more likely to win the upcoming fixture.
Hawks vs 76ers
The Atlanta Hawks and the Philadelphia 76ers will face off on December 14, 2025. This NBA game will be held at the State Farm Arena.
The Hawks faced the Wizards in the last fixture; the Wizards are now at the end of the standings, and they are not expected mount a comeback. The Hawks, on the other hand, are progressive in their record. They have managed to win 14 games and lose 11 so far this season. The 76ers faced the Lakers in the last game, and the game ended in favour of the Lakers as the 76ers did not focus on defending their basket.
Predictions
Hawks now have their momentum; they score a significant number of points at the beginning of the game. Then they start to defend their side. This strategy worked for them very well. But the 76ers are not an easy target either; they also have a decent form and record, too. There are possibilities that the 76ers could take over the game, but the possibilities are really thin. The Hawks look more confident in their form. The Hawks are expected to secure the win in the upcoming fixture.
Timberwolves vs Kings
The Minnesota Timberwolves and the Sacramento Kings will face off on December 14, 2025. This NBA game will be held at the Target Center.
The Timberwolves faced the Phoenix Suns in their last game; this loss may be the beginning of their downfall, as teams with poor records are now challenging them. The Suns scored 108 points, while the Timberwolves scored 105. The Kings, on the other hand, faced the Nuggets in their last game; the Nuggets dominated, scoring 136 points while holding the Kings to 105.
Predictions
The Kings’ form right now is struggling; they are trying to find a strategy to survive this season, but they have been losing many games recently. The Timberwolves may have lost a few games. But their winning percentage is better than the Kings’. The Timberwolves’ early pressure will be challenging for the Kings to handle. The Timberwolves are expected to win the upcoming fixture against the Kings.
Bulls vs Pelicans
The Chicago Bulls and the New Orleans Pelicans will face off on December 14, 2025. This NBA game will be held at the United Center
The Bulls’ comeback for this season is not much expected; their gameplan is not strong enough yet. Their 9-14 record tells it all. They faced the Warriors in the last fixture. The score gap was enormous; the Bulls managed only 91 points. At the same time, the Warriors scored 123 points. The Warriors’ pressure on the Bulls in the 4th quarter eroded their confidence. The Pelicans faced the Trail Blazers in their recent game; they won 143 -110, and their tempo throughout the quarters was pretty consistent.
Predictions
The Pelicans’ form is inconsistent; they have already lost a lot of games, too. The latest win could help them perform better in upcoming games. But a win against the Chicago Bulls is doubtful. The Bulls could dominate the entire game, but their scores in each quarter keep dropping. This will be a great advantage for the Pelicans in their quest to win. If the Bulls keep their rhythm in the game and maintain a steady pace, scoring more than 30 points in the first three quarters, they can slow down in the fourth quarter and still secure a victory. Thus, the Bulls are expected to win the upcoming fixture.
Suns vs Lakers
The Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers will face off on December 14, 2025. This NBA game will be held at the PHX Arena
The Suns faced the Thunder in their last game; they are getting their momentum back, but a 14-11 record won’t help them in the long run. But facing them against the Thunder? The Thunder already have 24 wins and just one loss; they are at the peak of their performance. Thunder scored 35+ points in the first three quarters. In contrast, the Suns scored only 17-25 points. The Lakers faced the Spurs in their last game; they lost because they put more effort in the beginning and at the end. The Spurs kept their scoring stable until the end and won.
Predictions
The Lakers are performing far better than the Suns; the Suns are ranked #7 in the standings. In comparison, the Lakers are ranked at #4 in the standings. The Suns are just inconsistent in their games, securing a few victories and losing some, too. On the other hand, the Lakers are going through the same phase, but looking at their pattern of play. The Lakers can easily break the Suns’ strategy. The Suns usually score less in the beginning and try to apply pressure as the game progresses. This gives the Lakers more time at the start to score more points and start defending. The Lakers are expected to win the upcoming game.
Trail Blazers vs Warriors
The Portland Trail Blazers and the Golden State Warriors will face off on December 14, 2025. This NBA game will be held at the Moda Center.
The Trail Blazers faced the Pelicans in their last game; they lost because they pushed harder early and let the game get away from them as it went on. Their performance in the fourth quarter is poor. Suppose they kept their rhythm in the game. They could have at least edged out their opponent and won. On the other hand, the Warriors faced the Bulls in the last game. This game was not challenging for the Warriors at all as the Bulls are already out of form. Scoring 123 points against them and winning was not a big deal for the Warriors.
Predictions
Both teams are in good form; the Warriors may feel more pressure from the Trail Blazers. Facing the Bulls isn’t going to help their momentum at all. The Trail Blazers’ form looks promising enough to secure a win. In the upcoming game, the Trail Blazers are expected to come in with the same rhythm as before. Even the last head-to-head match in the NBA Cup was tight; the Trail Blazers just edged the Warriors by 4 points. This means this rivalry is the most competitive of all. The Trail Blazers are more expected to win the upcoming fixture.
