Okay, BetUS Sportsbook bettors, another weekend is upon us and that means more entertaining NBA basketball wagering for NBA sports betting buffs everywhere.
As usual, my NBA weekend wagering doubleheader is designed to give BetUS NBA sports bettors the maximum opportunity to make a winning wager on two NBA contests.
The days of the Phoenix Suns (11-8 SU, 8-11 ATS, 11-8 O/U) running their opponents into the ground are apparently over, BetUS NBA sports betting fanatics. The Suns have dropped three straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook and will be looking to get back in the win column in the worst way when they battle the Dallas Mavericks (9-8 SU, 8-9 ATS, 8-9 O/U) at American Airlines Center tonight.
I told BetUS NBA Sports betting enthusiasts that the Detroit Pistons (10-6 SU, 8-8 ATS, 8-8 O/U) made a big mistake by trading point guard Chauncey Billups for veteran shooting guard Allen Iverson.
Now, just 6-6 since acquiring the enigmatic Iverson, the Pistons will host the San Antonio Spurs (9-7 SU, 8-8 ATS, 6-10 O/U) as they try to bounce back from a resounding 96-85 home loss to the Portland Trailblazers in the BetUS Sportsbook on Sunday.
The Philadelphia 76ers (7-10 SU, 6-10 ATS, 4-10-2 O/U) were being touted as one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference after adding veteran power forward Elton Brand in the offseason but have struggled to find their new identity all season. The young Chicago Bulls (8-9 SU, 10-7 ATS, 7-9-1 O/U) landed the league’s No. 1 overall draft pick in point guard Derrick Rose, but were expected to struggle while learning on the fly.
Four weeks into the 2008-09 NBA regular season in the BetUS Sportsbook and things are heating up in both conferences as teams across the league that have made roster-altering changes, begin to find their respective new identities.
The red-hot Orlando Magic (13-4 SU, -7-1 ATS, 8-9 O/U) have won four straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook while covering the spread in each of the last three games.
Still, the Magic are nowhere as incendiary as the Boston Celtics (16-2 SU, 8-9 ATS, 7-10 O/U), winners of eight consecutive games.
The Detroit Pistons (9-5 SU, 7-7 ATS, 7-7 O/U) have just find out firsthand, the drama that Allen Iverson brings to a team!
While still searching for their new identity after going 5-5 in ten games since acquiring the mercurial shooting guard, the Pistons held a light practice on Thanksgiving Day only to see Iverson blow off the team function without ever notifying anyone.
The Atlanta Hawks (9-5 SU, 6-8 ATS, 7-6-1 O/U) have won two of their last three games in the BetUS Sportsbook following their recent four-game losing streak. The Toronto Raptors (7-7 SU, 6-8 ATS, 9-5 O/U) beat the Charlotte Bobcats 93-86 on Wednesday, but have dropped two of three overall.
The Boston Celtics (14-2 SU, 8-8 ATS, 7-9 O/U) have won six straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook, including Wednesday’s thrilling 119-111 win over the Golden State Warriors. The Philadelphia 76ers (7-8 SU, 6-9 ATS, 4-10-1 O/U) are still struggling with inconsistency in their search for their new identity.
The Charlotte Bobcats (4-9 SU, 7-6 ATS, 2-10-1 O/U) snapped a four-game losing streak in their last game. The Toronto Raptors (6-7 SU, 6-7 ATS, 9-4 O/U) have dropped two straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook. Tonight, both teams will be looking to pick up a much-needed win for fans and BetUS NBA sports betting backers when they meet at Air Canada Centre tonight.
The Boston Celtics (13-2 SU, 8-7 ATS, 6-9 O/U) are looking good BetUS NBA sports betting fanatics!
Not only have the C’s won five consecutive games to push their Eastern Conference-leading mark to an impressive 13-2, but more importantly for Celtics backers, have covered the spread in four straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook. The Celtics will host a Golden State Warriors (5-8 SU, 6-7 ATS, 9-4 O/U) team that has dropped two straight games while failing to cover the spread each time.
The Atlanta Hawks (8-5 SU, 6-7 ATS, 6-6-1 O/U) are riding a six-game ATS winless streak in the BetUS NBA Sportsbook. The Milwaukee Bucks, (7-9, 11-4-1 ATS, 10-6 O/U) have covered the spread in three straight games for BetUS NBA sports betting backers.
1. Lebron James (Cleveland Cavaliers)
Makes his team better? Check. Best stats in the league? Check. Playing on an elite team that is bound for the playoffs? Check. Keeping a team afloat with little to no help? Check.
The King has averaged 29.8 points per game and 7.3 assists while hauling down 8.0 boards in the process. Those are monstrous numbers, and as long as the Cavs stay in cruise control, the King will be crowned with his first MVP award.
LeBron James makes a trip to his potential future home on Tuesday night, when he and his Cleveland Cavaliers visit New York to face the Knicks in an Eastern Conference NBA betting match-up. Online bookies have made the visiting Cavs 6.5-point sports betting line favorites, and have also set the betting line ‘total’ at 213.
The Golden State Warriors (5-8 SU, 6-7 ATS, 9-4 O/U) have dropped two straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook. Still, their recent woes are nothing in comparison to those of the Washington Wizards (1-10 SU, 3-8 ATS, 5-6 O/U) who are off to one of the worst starts in franchise history.
The Indiana Pacers (5-7 SU, 6-5-1 ATS, 5-6-1 O/U) have been an inconsistent, perplexing bunch at the start of the 2008-09 regular season. The Dallas Mavericks (6-7 SU, 6-7 ATS, 6-7 O/U) are starting to find their identity under new head coach Rick Carlisle.
