The Detroit Pistons (9-5 SU, 7-7 ATS, 7-7 O/U) have just find out firsthand, the drama that Allen Iverson brings to a team!

The Atlanta Hawks (9-5 SU, 6-8 ATS, 7-6-1 O/U) have won two of their last three games in the BetUS Sportsbook following their recent four-game losing streak. The Toronto Raptors (7-7 SU, 6-8 ATS, 9-5 O/U) beat the Charlotte Bobcats 93-86 on Wednesday, but have dropped two of three overall.
The Boston Celtics (14-2 SU, 8-8 ATS, 7-9 O/U) have won six straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook, including Wednesday’s thrilling 119-111 win over the Golden State Warriors.

The Charlotte Bobcats (4-9 SU, 7-6 ATS, 2-10-1 O/U) snapped a four-game losing streak in their last game. The Toronto Raptors (6-7 SU, 6-7 ATS, 9-4 O/U) have dropped two straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook.

The Boston Celtics (13-2 SU, 8-7 ATS, 6-9 O/U) are looking good BetUS NBA sports betting fanatics!
Not only have the C’s won five consecutive games to push their Eastern Conference-leading mark to an impressive 13-2, but more importantly for Celtics backers, have covered the spread in four straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook. The Celtics will host a Golden State Warriors (5-8 SU, 6-7 ATS, 9-4 O/U) team that has dropped two straight games while failing to cover the spread each time.
