NBA Predictions: 2014 Houston Rockets Season Betting Preview

Rockets NBA Picks

The Houston Rockets were shocked last season when the Portland Trail Blazers sent them packing in the first round of the playoffs.

NBA Predictions: 2014 Miami Heat Season Betting Preview

Heat NBA Picks

The Miami Heat are going to have a drastically different look than they have the past four seasons.

NBA Picks: 2015 Futures Odds & Eastern Conference Handicapping

2015 Eastern Conference Lines

The 2014-15 NBA season is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated seasons in recent years, and that’s largely because of the offseason moves that took place in the Eastern Conference.

For Starters, LeBron James’ decision to spurn the Miami Heat for the Cleveland Cavaliers has shaken the foundation of the Association. Combine that with the Cavs’ acquisition of Kevin Love, the Bulls’ acquisition of Pau Gasol and the emergence of youth on the Washington Wizards and Toronto Raptors, and you have a conference that is up for grabs after four years of dominance by the Heat.
