Thursday TNT NBA Doubleheader Preview

NBA: WIZARDS ROBBING CELTICS’ CASH

The Washington Wizards performed magic acts against the Boston Celtics, robbing the cash from their backers the last three times they met.

Underdogs in all three matchups, the Wizards not only cashed in against the spread (ATS) but won each of those three games straight-up as well. More impressive, those victories account for just three of the 16 losses Boston had all of last season.

Future NBA Odds 2008 NBA MVP

NBA Basketball Futures – The NBA MVP

There is a long list of players who are listed under consideration for the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award, as it is presented by BetUS Sportsbook. It’s probably more players than are necessary for the purposes of true analysis, and some could most likely be eliminated out of hand, but I thought I might present my own short comments about each of these eligible players, and reduce them to a top ten list that hopefully a profitable winner will come from.

NBA Western Conference Handicapping Picks

NBA Basketball Futures – Handicapping the West by Division

In handicapping every one of the NBA divisions here at BetUS NBA Sportsbook, we are primarily focused on “value.” As we proceed (and you will also get out opinion on the East), you’ll see that the favorites aren’t always my choices, because I am trying to balance the strength of each team withthe value it presents as a NBA betting proposition. I hope you’ll be able to get some ideas out of it.

NBA Eastern Conference Handicapping Picks

NBA Basketball Futures – Handicapping the East by Division

When we handicap each of the NBA divisions at BetUS NBA Sportsbook, we take a look at what offers value more than anything else. As we go along (and we’re doing the West as well), you are going to find that the favorite in the division is not always our choice to win a division, and that is because the price is not appetizing. So we are balance who we think is the best with who we think COULD be the best, and worth a play.
