Those going over boxing odds can practice up for this weekend’s fights with a number of slugfests taking place on the hardwood on Wednesday and Thursday in NBA betting action. On Wednesday, Orlando, Atlanta and Denver will host the second game of their matchups, while on Thursday, Boston, the Lakers and San Antonio will head out on the road for their third games.
Each NBA playoff betting series is a game old and, while a single game hardly determines a series, online betting players did notice some interesting – and, in some cases, alarming – signs over the weekend.
How will tonight’s games play out in each series?
As the basketball betting favorites to win the NBA title this year, Cleveland and the Los Angeles Lakers get the honor of leading our postseason NBA Power Rankings as we prepare for the second season to start on Saturday.
1. (1) Cleveland Cavaliers (66-16): They just missed tying the record for home wins, but they pushed Philadelphia to overtime with their scrubs.
Even NBA betting players were focusing on the NCAA Tournament, but with the playoffs coming up, the NBA power rankings are returning with a new No.1 team, and some movement in the top 10.
1. (2) Cleveland Cavaliers (63-15): The Cavs finally take the top spot, but a blowout loss in Orlando last Friday is worrying. Sunday’s visit from Boston should be entertaining.
2. (1) Los Angeles Lakers (62-16): The Lakers didn’t do much to lose the top spot, but losing in Charlotte didn’t help. Andrew Bynum should be back very soon to join the Lake Show for their playoff run.
There’s a new No.1 team in the NBA, but not by much. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers will probably fight for the top spot for the rest of the year, and NBA betting players will have a tough time deciding which team to go with in their offshore sportsbook.
There isn’t much change near the top of the NBA power rankings this week, as the NBA betting favorites for the championship have stayed essentially the same, although Cleveland is hot on the Lakers’ heels.

We are entering the stretch run of the NBA season, as All-Star Weekend and the trade deadline have passed us by. This means NBA betting players will be even more focused on the daily box scores of their favorite teams, and we’re here to try and give you a betting edge. As the standings show, home-court advantage is going to be HUGE in this postseason.
