Atlanta Hawks (+5.5) at Orlando Magic (-5.5)
The Magic are riding an impressive 10 game home winning streak, and haven’t lost inside Amway Arena since November 22. This is the second game of a home-and-home between the 2 teams, with Orlando winning the previous meeting on Wednesday evening 106-102. Orlando dominated early and got off to a 21 point lead, Atlanta tried to come back riding the home crowd energy back into the game but came up just short.

The defending-champion Boston Celtics are mired in their biggest slump since putting their now famous ‘Big Three’ together prior to last season.

Dallas and San Antonio are two of the NBA’s hottest teams, but betting trends suggest taking the underdog New York Knicks and L.A. Clippers Thursday night.
The Knicks have a date with the Dallas Mavericks in Big D while the Clippers travel to San Antonio in the only two games on a night that’s light in action.
The Charlotte Bobcats (13-22 SU, 20-15 ATS, 14-20-1 O/U) picked up their biggest win of the season on Tuesday, surprising the defending-champion Boston Celtics in their 114-106 overtime win, easily covering the spread for BetUS NBA sports betting backers in the process. The Cleveland Cavaliers (27-6 SU, 23-10 ATS, 15-18 O/U) have dropped two of their last three overall, including an 80-77 loss to the Washington Wizards on Sunday in which they failed to cover the spread as a 9-point road favorite in the BetUS Sportsbook.
The Orlando Magic (27-8 SU, 22-12-1 ATS, 15-20 O/U) bounced back nicely from a defeat their last time out to beat the lowly Washington Wizards 89-80 on Tuesday night. The Atlanta Hawks (22-11 SU, 19-14 ATS, 13-18-2 O/U) also recorded a solid victory the last time they took the floor, beating the Houston Rockets 103-100 on Saturday.
The Toronto Raptors (14-21 SU, 13-21-1 ATS, 20-15 O/U) may be the most perplexing team in the league so far this season. Toronto had its modest two-game winning streak snapped by losing to the Milwaukee Bucks 107-97 on Monday. The Washington Wizards (7-26 SU, 15-18 ATS, 13-19-1 O/U) have struggled all season long and fell to the Orlando Magic 89-80 on Tuesday. The Wiz did manage to cover the spread for NBA sports betting backers as a 12.5-point road underdog in the BetUS Sportsbook.
The Houston Rockets (21-15 SU, 16-20 ATS, 21-15 O/U) and the Boston Celtics (29-7 SU, 19-17 ATS, 16-19-1 O/U) may both be legitimate title contenders in their respective conferences, but the veteran-laden teams are each mired in losing streaks as they prepare to battle at TD Banknorth Garden in Boston tonight.
The Houston Rockets (21-15 SU, 16-20 ATS, 21-15 O/U) and the Boston Celtics (29-7 SU, 19-17 ATS, 16-19-1 O/U) may both be legitimate title contenders in their respective conferences, but the veteran-laden teams are each mired in losing streaks as they prepare to battle at TD Banknorth Garden in Boston tonight.
The New York Knicks (13-19 SU, 17-15 ATS, 14-18 O/U) have won two of three and are coming off a convincing 100-88 win over the Boston Celtics on Sunday. The Oklahoma City Thunder (4-30 SU, 21-13 ATS, 17-17 O/U) lost a heart-breaker the last time they took the floor but are competing hard despite the mounting losses.
The Houston Rockets (21-14 SU, 16-19 ATS, 20-15 O/U) have dropped two straight games and five of their last seven overall including a close, 103-100 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. Houston did manage to cover the spread for BetUS NBA sports betting backers as a 5.5-point road underdog in the BetUS Sportsbook.
The Washington Wizards (7-25 SU, 14-18 ATS, 13-18-1 O/U) snapped its modest two-game losing streak on Sunday, surprising the Cleveland Cavaliers in their 80-77 victory while easily covering the spread as a 9-point home underdog in the BetUS Sportsbook. The Orlando Magic (26-9 SU, 22-11-1 ATS, 15-19 O/U) saw its two-game winning streak come to an abrupt halt in their 108-102 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. The Magi failed to cover the spread as a 7.5-point road favorite just as I predicted in my weekly NBA Sunday 4X4 in the BetUS Locker Room.
The Boston Celtics (29-6 SU, 19-16 ATS, 15-19-1 O/U) have gone from the longest winning streak in franchise history to their biggest struggles since combining their new ‘Big Three’ last season. Losers of four of their last six games overall, the struggling Celtics will look to bounce back when they visit the similarly struggling Charlotte Bobcats (12-22 SU, 19-15 ATS, 13-20-1 O/U) at Time Warner Cable Arena tonight.
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.
