Los Angeles Lakers (56-14) @ Detroit Pistons (34-36)
NBA betting fans will get to see a rematch of the 2004 NBA Finals when the Los Angeles Lakers and Detroit Pistons meet up on Wednesday night but somehow, this matchup doesn’t have as much cache.
The Lakers are the best team in the Western Conference while the Pistons are a mediocre squad in the East who will be severely shorthanded...

Wild West Shootout - Phoenix Suns vs. Portland Trailblazers

Thursday, March 26, 2009 5:50 PM

The Phoenix Suns travel to Portland as big underdogs. The Suns have won six games in a row and should be a much tougher opponent for the Trailblazers than they were on December 18th of last year when they lost by 5 points. Phoenix is currently 40 and 31 straight-up and 29-39-2 ATS overall. Against the spread on the road, the Suns are 13-19-1.
The Trailblazers are a decent team.

Changing of the Guard - Detroit Pistons vs. Los Angeles Lakers

Thursday, March 26, 2009 5:40 PM

The Heat Visit Rose and the Bulls - Miami at Chicago

Thursday, March 26, 2009 5:25 PM

Ultimately the problem when you rely on one superstar is that you can get in to ugly losing streaks. And that’s just what has happened to Miami as they rely far too heavily on one Dwyane Wade. While he is putting together an MVP type season, Wade shouldering the bulk of the load for Miami is starting to wear him down.
The opposite is happening in Chicago, a team that has suddenly found its...

NBA Eastern Conference – A Repeat Performance for the Celtics

So I checked out the prices in the BetUS NBA Sportsbook for the Eastern Conference champion futures...

Since I grew up in Toronto, I’ve followed the career of Vince Carter closely. From his NBA Dunk Contest, which is my second-favorite all-time performance in the contest behind MJ-Nique, to his battle with A.I. in the playoffs where his trip to UNC for graduation may have cost the Raptors the playoffs, to his whiny pout-fest that led to his trading to New Jersey – I’ve seen it...

Friday, March 20, 2009 3:40 PM

When trying to handicap an NBA game, bettors can’t simply look at the talent on the floor. There’s also the whole question of motivation; what team wants it more, is going to play harder. One part of motivation that most NBA betting enthusiasts already take into account is playing at home, but late in the season some other factors come into play as well.

Wednesday, March 18, 2009 7:50 PM

Miami has gone a viscious 5-2 SU in their last 7 games, roaring through the standings to deafening cheers of Wade for “M-V-P!”.
