The Cleveland Cavaliers (30-6 SU, 26-10 ATS, 17-19 O/U) have won three consecutive games, covering the spread for my beloved BetUS NBA sports betting enthusiasts each time out.

Two of the historically more consistent teams in the NBA, the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets, battle it out on Thursday night in a game where the Suns have to show something to sports betting fans. Phoenix has been an enigma this season. Even though they are riding a three game winning streak including a terrific victory over the Dallas Mavericks by 28 points, the Suns aren’t nearly as intimidating as they used to be.
Charles Barkley won’t be there. But you can bet he’ll be watching Thursday’s NBA on TNT doubleheader along with the rest of the basketball world.
Barkley has taken a leave of absence in the wake of his recent arrest on suspicion of drunk driving. That’ll reduce (or increase dramatically, depending on your point of view) the entertainment value of TNT’s flagship basketball program. But this remains the best NBA show on television, and hoops is about to take over the sports betting scene as football season winds down.
