The San Antonio Spurs won the NBA title not that long ago, but those tickets have been cashed, and it is time for the alert bettor to look ahead. With lines already out for the 2015 title and with only baseball on the board, there’s no better time to break down those odds.
Kentucky Wildcats (2) at Tennessee Volunteers (17) 12:00 PM ET
Kentucky has pretty much cruised in the eight games since suffering its first and only loss of the season at South Carolina. The two exceptions however were against Mississippi St. and Vanderbilt and like this one, both of those were on the road. The Wildcats were fortunate to win both of those games and they came home and laid some payback on the Gamecocks by 21 points on Thursday.

West Virginia Mountaineers (4) at Pittsburgh Panthers (23) Friday 9:00 PM ET
A rare top 25 matchup takes place on Friday night in the rematch of the Backyard Brawl.
The first meeting in West Virginia saw the Mountaineers win by 19 points, sending Pittsburgh to its fourth loss in five games but it was the extracurricular activities that made the headlines. There were a couple small scuffles as well as fans throwing objects onto the floor at one point.
Duke Blue Devils (7) at Georgetown Hoyas (11) 1:00 PM ET
After starting the season 1-3 on the road, Duke was able to gain some confidence with a rather easy road win at Clemson last weekend. On Wednesday the Blue Devils improved to 5-2 in the ACC with a home win over Florida St. and now steps out of conference for the second to last time this season. This will be the third and final road game this month against a ranked opponent and starts a stretch of a brutal four games. Following this, Duke has a home revenge meeting with Georgia Tech, who won the first matchup this season, followed by two tough road games at Boston College and at North Carolina.
Ohio St. Buckeyes (25) at West Virginia Mountaineers (12) 2:00 PM ET

Basketball Online Sports Betting Odds: L.A. CLIPPERS -3, Total 197
Chicago got cold the other night (Monday) against Golden State, but there is no mistaking that the Bulls have turned the corner a little since blowing a 35-point lead against Sacramento back on December 21.
Syracuse Orange (5) at West Virginia Mountaineers (9) 12:00 PM ET
Easily the marquee matchup of the day, we get started early with a great matchup. Syracuse is 16-1 on the season including a perfect 5-0 away from home. It has played only two true road games on the season however and those came at Seton Hall and Rutgers so this will easily be the biggest road test thus far and mark the first road game against a ranked opponent.
(13) Connecticut Huskies at (12) Georgetown Hoyas 12:00 PM ET (ESPN)
Connecticut is 11-3 on the season and all three of those losses have come against teams that are ranked or were ranked at one time. The Huskies lost on a neutral floor against Duke, a neutral floor against Kentucky and at Cincinnati, who is no longer ranked. The game against the Bearcats has been the only true road game this season for Connecticut and it is coming off back-to-back home conference wins over Notre Dame and Seton Hall.

Miami Heat at New York Knicks
Friday, December 25th – 12:05 PM ET
The Week That Was: Heat
The Heat ended a decidedly mixed week on a high note by taking out the Jazz last night 80-70. Coach Erik Spoelstra saw his club win a game it was expected to lose, and drop a game it figured to win.
Two of the NBA’s biggest stars. Two of the NBA’s best teams. Kobe vs. LeBron. Cavaliers vs. Lakers. Christmas Day. Who ya got?
The Lakers come into this game as not only the defending NBA Champions, but also the elite team in the entire NBA so far during the 2009-2010 season.
Boston Celtics (22-5 SU, 12-15 ATS) at Orlando Magic (22-7, 15-12-2 ATS)
Friday, December 25: 2:30 p.m.
Here are some NBA betting trends which may impact this game:
Warriors vs. Nuggets (-14)
(O/U) 233
December 1, 9:00 PM ET
The Golden State Warriors (6-10 SU, 9-7 ATS, 9-7 O/U) may not have the glowing straight up (SU) record or title contending hopes that the Denver Nuggets (12-5 SU, 9-8 ATS, 8-9 O/U) have shown this season, but when it comes to covering the NBA lines, few teams have been as hot solid as the Warriors over the last two weeks.
