Thye Phoenix Suns (6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS) seem to have hardly missed a beat, even after changing coaches. On Wednesday night they will play host to the Houston Rockets (4-3 SU, 2-5 ATS) in an NBA contest that is set to get underway at 10:30 PM ET at the US Airways Center in Phoenix.
The New York Knicks (4-3 SU, 3-4 ATS) are coming off a disappointing shooting effort last night.

Boy the Lakers made it tough last night! For sports betting fans it doesn’t get any closer than that! I truly believed the Lakers were going to cover the 6 ½ points and they did by beating the Dallas Mavericks by 7 at the end but they needed point-guard Derek Fischer to sink two free throws in the final 10 seconds, and the Mavericks to fumble the ball out of bounds going down the court, for the Lakers to secure the win against the BetUS Sportsbook wagering spread.
The San Antonio Spurs (1-4 SU, 0-5 ATS), who can consider themselves extremely shorthanded right now, have been able to rest for the last three days and take on the New York Knicks (4-2 SU, 3-3 ATS), who are adjusting to Mike D’Antoni’s new go-go style, in an NBA matchup in sports betting action that is scheduled to take place at 8:30 PM ET at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
The undefeated Los Angeles Lakers, 5 and 0 on the season straight-up so far, take their high-flying game to Dallas to take on a Mavericks’ squad that looks eerily similar to the same disappointing group of NBA All-Stars that blew it in last season’s playoffs.
The Utah Jazz (5-1 SU, 3-3 ATS) have managed to do very well without star point guard Deron Williams. On Tuesday night they will take on the Philadelphia 76ers (2-4 SU & ATS), who have had a lot of time to ponder their slow start, in NBA sports betting action that is set to get underway at 7 PM ET at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.

The Washington Wizards (0-3 SU, 1-2 ATS) are going to try to put up their first win of the season tonight as they play host to the New York Knicks (2-2 SU, 1-3 ATS) in an NBA game that is scheduled to get underway at 7 PM ET at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.
The Utah Jazz (4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS) put their undefeated record on the line on Friday night as they play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder (1-3 SU, 2-2 ATS) in NBA action that is slated to begin at 9 PM ET at the EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City.
The Washington Wizards (0-2 SU, 1-1 ATS, 1-1 O/U) have dropped each of their first two games in the BetUS Sportsbook but may have a decent shot at winning tonight.

The defending champion Boston Celtics (2-1 SU, 1-2 ATS) were surprisingly routed in their last game, losing to the Indiana Pacers 95-79 on Saturday. The Houston Rockets (3-0 SU, 1-2 ATS) have plans on reaching the NBA Finals this season and are off to a perfect 3-0 start in the BetUS Sportsbook.
The Phoenix Suns (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS) pounded the young Portland Trailblazers in winning their last contest, 107-96 on Saturday in the BetUS Sportsbook. The New Jersey Nets (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) were scorched by the high-scoring Golden State Warriors in their last outing, a 105-97 loss, also on Saturday.
