NBA Sportsbook Preview: Lakers vs. Spurs Prediction

NBA: LAKERS RARE UNDERDOGS

Sportsbook.com has San Antonio as two-point favorites with a posted Total of 199.5. This is part of ESPN’s regular Wednesday night package which will start at 9 pm ET.

The series between Los Angeles (31-6, 17-20 ATS) and San Antonio marked the sixth playoff meeting in the last decade for these clubs, which again appear to be the class of the West.

NBA Preview: Clippers vs. Mavericks (Jan. 6)

Clippers vs Mavericks NBA Sports Betting

The Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks battle it out in Big D and sports betting fans couldn’t be happier. One of the best teams to make an online NBA wager against this season has been the Los Angeles Clippers. I really thought they were building a team in Clipper Land but letting Elton Brand get away and then Corey Maggette while only receiving Baron Davis in return, in a way, isn’t my idea of building a team.

Nuggets vs. Raptors Free NBA Pick (Dec. 31)

NBA Sports Betting Denver @ Toronto

This game was off the board for a while due to uncertainty surrounding the status of the respective centers – Nene and Jermaine O’Neal. The issue isn’t completely settled yet.  

BetUS Sportsbook NBA Basketball Betting Odds: DENVER -1.5, Total 201

Bulls vs. Nets Free NBA Pick (Dec. 29)

NBA Sports Betting Bulls @ Nets

With the Bulls, it’s either one major problem or another. Look at their last couple of games, for instance. Against Miami on Friday they shoot just 37% from the field and perform decently on defense but they lose a 90-77 decision to the Heat. Then they turnaround on Saturday and shoot over 54% against Atlanta, with Derrick Rose and Ben Gordon combining for 60 points, but they fall flat on defense, surrendering almost 56% from the field and forcing only seven turnovers, as they lose 129-117 to Atlanta.

Celtics vs. Lakers NBA Preview (Dec 25)

NBA: Celtics, Lakers a betting mismatch

The Los Angeles Lakers have a huge Christmas matchup with the Boston Celtics and their backers hope they fare better this time around.

Not only did the Lakers get upset in last year’s NBA Finals 4-2, but Boston covered the spread in every game of the series and the two regular season matchups as well. That’s an 0-8 ATS mark in total.
