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.

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.
