The New Orleans Hornets, fresh off of a 7 point victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night, go back to the Crescent City to host a game against the San Antonio Spurs. Sports betting fans have to take both of these teams seriously as the Hornets and Spurs have turned things around after suffering defeats earlier in the season.
The Houston Rockets (15-9 SU, 12-12 ATS, 14-10 O/U) have failed to find their new identity so far this season after acquiring combustible forward Ron Artest in an offseason transaction. The streaking Denver Nuggets (16-7 SU, 14-8-1 ATS, 13-10 O/U) have almost literally taken off since getting former NBA Finals MVP, Chauncey Billups in a trade for Allen Iverson earlier this season.
The Mike D’Antoni coached New York Knicks continue their west coast swing when they travel up from Phoenix to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers. The Lakers were one of the best teams in the NBA against the spread going 6 and 1 in their first eight games but since then they’ve been somewhat of a disappointment for sports betting fans.
Okay NBA sports betting enthusiasts, with seven weeks of thrilling NBA action complete in the BetUS Sportsbook, association bettors everywhere are starting to get a clearer picture on the overall NBA wagering landscape.

With nearly a full slate of NBA action taking place this weekend,
The Los Angeles Clippers are horrible. The Portland Trailblazers are pretty darn good. This should be a good old fashioned sports betting lock, right? Maybe not. The Clippers are a terrible team but they do have Baron Davis in the back-court. Davis is averaging 27 points and 7 assists.
The Los Angeles Lakers (18-3 SU, 10-10 ATS, 12-8 O/U) will get a shot to avenge their surprise loss to the Sacramento Kings (6-16 SU, 10-12 ATS, 12-10 O/U) on Tuesday when the teams meet at the STAPLES Center tonight.
The Boston Celtics (21-2 SU, 12-10 ATS, 11-11 O/U) set a new franchise record on Thursday, getting off to the first 21-2 start in franchise history. The New Orleans Hornets (12-6 SU, 8-9-1 ATS, 9-9 O/U) have won three consecutive games and seven of eight overall.
There’s a great NBA game in Boston tonight as the Celtics do battle with one of the Western Conference powers, the New Orleans Hornets.
Sportsbook.com lists Boston as a seven-point favorite, with a Total of 189. ESPN will have this as opening game of its Friday night twin-bill starting at 8 pm ET.
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.
The Cleveland Cavaliers (18-3 SU, 17-4 ATS, 10-11 O/U) have won and covered the spread for BetUS NBA online betting backers in a whopping, nine straight games. Over a quarter of the way into the 2008-09 campaign and the Philadelphia 76ers (9-12 SU, 8-12 ATS, 6-12-2 O/U) are still struggling to find their new identity after acquiring perennial all-star forward Elton Brand in the offseason.
Just when a lot of sports betting fans thought it was safe to put the proverbial fork into the San Antonio Spurs, the Spurs start winning games. At this point in the season, and it’s still extremely early, the Spurs are 12 and 8. That’s four games above .500.
The New Jersey Nets (11-8 SU, 12-7 ATS, 9-10 O/U) and blossoming point guard Devin Harris are arguably the biggest surprises of the young 2008-09 NBA sports betting season so far. The New York Knicks (9-12 SU, 11-10 ATS, 9-12 O/U) are one of the highest scoring teams in the league are struggling to stop opponents from scoring at will.
The Toronto Raptors (8-11 SU, 7-11 ATS, 11-7 O/U) are mired in the midst of a four-game losing streak in the BetUS Sportsbook, failing to cover the spread for BetUS NBA sports betting backers in each contest. The Cleveland Cavaliers (17-3 SU, 16-4 ATS, 9-11 O/U) are on fire, having won eight consecutive games while covering the NBA spread in every single victory.
Sure, BetUS NBA sports betting fanatics, everyone knows the Boston Celtics (+125) and Los Angeles Lakers (+115) look like absolute locks to reach the 2008-09 NBA Finals in the BetUS Sportsbook, but hoops fans and bettors everywhere should know that nothing is etched in stone no matter how powerful any particular team looks, particularly at this early juncture of the regular season.
