The three leading candidates for the NBA Rookie of the Year award are all on display Tuesday night in a mammoth 12-game schedule.
The NBA is off on Wednesday for Christmas Eve but will resume on Thursday with five nationally televised games including the huge one between NBA Finalists, Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers.
It looks like some of the adrenaline has worn out from the coaching change made by the Sacramento Kings (7-21 SU, 14-14 ATS). On Monday night they suit up to play what has been one of the NBA’s better teams over the last month or so, the San Antonio Spurs (16-10 SU, 12-13-1 ATS) in NBA pro basketball sports betting action that is set to get underway at 8:30 PM ET at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
Okay BetUS NBA sports betting buffs, with the 2008-09 regular season’s seventh week now a thing of the past, it’s time to take a look back on the week that was across the league while also taking a sneak peek into the upcoming week and what BetUS NBA Sportsbook bettors can expect out of several NBA teams heading into Week 8.
The Houston Rockets (18-9, 14-13 ATS, 16-11 O/U) have won three consecutive games in the BetUS Sportsbook, covering the spread in two of those contests. The New Jersey Nets (13-13, 14-12 ATS, 13-13 O/U) have been one of the most surprising teams in the league in the early going this season but have dropped two of their last three overall.
While the Portland Trailblazers (17-10 SU, 12-14 ATS, 11-15 O/U) have won two consecutive games in the BetUS Sportsbook, the Denver Nuggets (17-10 SU, 15-11-1 ATS, 14-13 O/U) have struggled in dropping each of their last three games. Tonight, the Nuggets will look to snap their modest skid while halting the Blazers’ winning ways when they host their younger counterparts tonight at the Pepsi Center tonight.
Okay, NBA Sportsbook bettors, another weekend is upon us and that means more entertaining NBA basketball wagering for NBA sports betting buffs everywhere. As usual this NBA 4-Pack is designed to give BetUS NBA sports bettors the maximum opportunity to make a winning wager on four NBA contests.
The NBA always boasts terrific games for sports betting fans to bet on during a weekend. That’s the case this weekend as the Los Angeles Lakers, in a back to back, travel to Orlando Saturday after taking on the Heat on Friday night and the Detroit Pistons travel to Atlanta to take on the Hawks on Sunday.
The Portland Trail Blazers (16-10 SU, 12-14 ATS) broke a three-game losing streak in resounding fashion on Tuesday night. They will look to make it two in a row when they play host to the Phoenix Suns (15-10 SU, 10-15 ATS) in NBA pro basketball sports betting action that is slated for a 10:30 PM ET tip-off at the Rose Garden in Portland, OR.
The San Antonio Spurs (15-9 SU, 12-12 ATS) are hurting from a sudden meltdown last night in New Orleans. On Thursday night they will try to rebound as they take on the Orlando Magic (19-6 SU, 15-9-1 ATS), which is generating a lot of heat in the Sunshine State in NBA pro basketball sports betting action that is scheduled to get underway at 8 PM ET at Amway Arena in Orlando.
The Los Angeles Clippers (7-17 SU, 10-14 ATS) look like they are making some progress lately. On Wednesday night they will visit the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bulls (11-13 SU & ATS) in NBA pro basketball sports betting action that is set to tip off at 8:30 PM ET at the United Center in Chicago.
The Golden State Warriors (7-18 SU, 10-15 ATS, 15-10 O/U) have dropped three straight games, failing to cover the spread for NBA sports betting backers each time. The Indiana Pacers (8-16 SU, 12-11-1 ATS, 14-9-1 O/U) snapped its six-game losing streak in the BetUS Sportsbook the last time out and have alternated ATS wins and losses in each of their last six games.
The Boston Celtics (23-2 SU, 14-11 ATS, 11-13-1 O/U) may be in the midst of a thrilling 15-game winning streak in the BetUS Sportsbook, but that mark will be put to the test tonight by a team that has been waiting to play the Celtics at home all season – the rejuvenated Atlanta Hawks (15-9 SU, 13-11 ATS, 9-13-2 O/U).
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.
The Sacramento Kings (7-18 SU, 12-13 ATS), under new leadership, go after another win on Tuesday night as they visit the Portland Trail Blazers (15-10 SU, 11-14 ATS) in NBA pro basketball sports betting action that is scheduled to tip off at 10 PM ET at the Rose Garden in Portland, OR.
