Lakers + Jazz Betting Odds + Trends

NBA: UTAH CRASHES INTO MATCHUP WITH LAKERS

The Utah Jazz have no-one but themselves to blame for their precarious postseason positioning.

The Jazz faded down the stretch, eventually winding up in the Western Conference’s #8 spot. Since going 15-1 in a torrid stretch from February 2nd through March 10th, Utah sputtered to a 7-11 finish. 

NBA Oddsmakers don’t give the Jazz much of a chance in their Best-of-7 series versus the Lakers, making bettors lay $2000 for every $100 they’d like to win by backing Los Angeles.

Nuggets + Hornets Betting Odds + Trends

NBA: NUGGETS HOPE FOR BETTER FORTUNE

No NBA team has been worse in the postseason than Denver.

In fact, the Nuggets are just 2-16 SU & 3-15 ATS in their L18 playoff games.

The franchise believes those struggles are behind them, and for good reason.  With the mid-season trade for Chauncey Billups, Denver acquired one of the league’s most clutch playoff performers, a player with a long history of postseason success.

2009 NBA Playoff Betting: Pistons vs. Cavs Predictions

Detroit Pistons vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Odds + Playoff Schedule

Cleveland (1) vs. Detroit (8)

Check in with CappersPicks.com Best NBA Basketball Sportsbook Review daily for exclusive pro basketball bonus betting specials, and gambling promotions.

Key to series:  Neither team attacks the boards too hard. If Detroit can talk Rasheed Wallace into joining Antonio McDyess inside every now and then, the Pistons could make it mildly interesting in what might be the final go-around for this group of veterans before the team is blown up.

Boston (2) vs. Chicago (7)

Check in with CappersPicks.com Best NBA Basketball Sportsbook Review daily for exclusive pro basketball bonus betting specials, and gambling promotions.

Key to series:  First Tom Brady, and now this? Garnett’s injury takes title No. 18 out of play, but the Celtics should have enough juice to get by the Bulls. The battle at point guard should be ferocious, with Rose and Rajon Rondo both at full throttle.

Atlanta (4) vs. Miami (5)

Key to series: Someone, perhaps improving-by-the-minute Michael Beasley, has to step up and take heat off Wade. If that happens, the Heat move on. Hard to see Miami getting beyond Round 2, though.

NBA: CLEVELAND, DETROIT RENEW PLAYOFF HOSTILITIES

The Cavaliers and Pistons have been longtime rivals in the NBA’s Central Division, but since Lebron James arrived in Cleveland, the clubs have also built an intense postseason rivalry as well.

They will get together once again in 2009, this time in the first round, and for a change, the Cavaliers are the heavy -3500 favorite.

Celtics + Bulls Betting Odds + Trends

NBA: CELTICS-BULLS PAIRS TWO STRONG FINISHING CLUBS

If the NBA playoffs are a “what have you done for me lately world”, don’t be surprised to see a sizeable upset in the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs.

The #7-seeded Chicago Bulls enter as one of the hottest teams in the league as it prepares to take on defending champion Boston.

 In fact, both teams were 12-4 in their L16 games. However, if the teams’ entire body of work is what matters, then it’s clearly advantage Celtics, who find themselves a -500 series favorite at Sportsbook.com.
