NBA Betting Tips – Handicapping Matchups

Matt Fargo takes a look at the NBA schedule this weekend and pulls out important matchups, injuries, news notes and betting trends from around the league.

Portland will be playing its first home game on Friday against the Spurs. The Blazers will be without the services of Greg Oden who is out 2-4 weeks with a sprained foot. Joel Przybilla will start for the Blazers at center against San Antonio after he finished with four points and 11 rebounds in 25 minutes against the Lakers. Portland was a dismal 34.5 percent from the floor in that game and now faces a team it is 0-12 in its last 12 against.

Future NBA Odds 2008 NBA MVP

There is a long list of players who are listed under consideration for the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award, as it is presented by BetUS Sportsbook. It’s probably more players than are necessary for the purposes of true analysis, and some could most likely be eliminated out of hand, but I thought I might present my own short comments about each of these eligible players, and reduce them to a top ten list that hopefully a profitable winner will come from.

NBA Western Conference Handicapping Picks

I hope you’ll be able to get some ideas out of it.

NBA Eastern Conference Handicapping Picks

NBA Basketball Futures – Handicapping the East by Division

When we handicap each of the NBA divisions at BetUS NBA Sportsbook, we take a look at what offers value more than anything else. As we go along (and we’re doing the West as well), you are going to find that the favorite in the division is not always our choice to win a division, and that is because the price is not appetizing. So we are balance who we think is the best with who we think COULD be the best, and worth a play.
