Tip-off: 10:30 pm EST
Pau Gasol may play tonight for the Los Angeles Lakers. Rumor has it that Coach Phil Jackson wasn’t too happy with how Gasol’s little stint on CSI: Miami on Monday night showed him looking perfectly fine.
Tip-of: Suns vs. Hornets at 8:00 pm EST
The Phoenix Suns have the best record in the NBA right now because not only do they play a fast paced game with the best point guard in the NBA, Steve Nash, but they have a starting five that is terrific at doing it.
Thursday’s matchup between Los Angeles and Boston has been on the betting radar since Christmas, when the C’s went into Staples Center and got handed a 92-83 loss as 2-point underdogs. But it’s much more than that; it’s a rematch of last year’s NBA Finals, which the Celtics took in six games.
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.
The Toronto Raptors (9-12 SU, 8-13 ATS) are still trying to turn things around under their new coach.

The Chicago Bulls (10-11 SU & ATS) and the Memphis Grizzlies (7-15 SU, 9-13 ATS) have both won two games in a row. On Friday night these teams will get together for some NBA pro basketball sports betting action that is scheduled to begin at 8 PM ET at the FedEx Forum in Memphis.
The Charlotte Bobcats (7-14 SU, 12-9 ATS) will try to avoid losing their fourth straight game on Wednesday night when they visit the New Orleans Hornets (11-6 SU, 7-9-1 ATS) in NBA pro basketball sports betting action that is slated to get underway at 8 PM ET at the New Orleans Arena.
Two of the NBA’s struggling teams will get together on Wednesday night, when the Golden State Warriors (6-15 SU, 9-12 ATS) play host to the Milwaukee Bucks (9-14 SU, 15-7-1 ATS) in NBA pro basketball sports betting action that is slated for a 10:30 PM ET tip-off at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.
The New York Knicks (9-11 SU, 10-10 ATS), doing worse on the court but better against the number these days, will try to take some momentum from a big win against the Pistons on Sunday and apply it to Tuesday night’s game against the Chicago Bulls (9-11 SU, 10-10 ATS). NBA pro basketball sports betting action is scheduled to get underway at 8:30 PM ET at the United Center in Chicago.
The Minnesota Timberwolves (4-15 SU, 6-13 ATS) begin life with a new coach – who’s kind of the same as the old coach – as they play host to the Utah Jazz (13-9 SU, 12-10 ATS) in NBA pro basketball sports betting action that is slated to get underway at 8 PM ET at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
One team coming off its best performance of the season and another coming off one of its worst will get together on Thursday when the San Antonio Spurs (9-8 SU, 8-9 ATS) lock horns with the Denver Nuggets (13-6 SU, 12-6-1 ATS) in NBA pro basketball sports betting action that is scheduled to take place at 10:30 PM ET at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
1. Derrick Rose – Chicago Bulls
If you haven’t seen Rose shatter Andre Miller’s kneecaps with a cross-over on YouTube, then you’re haven’t seen the highlight of the year in the NBA. The former Memphis point-guard is averaging 18.7 points per game with 5.8 assists. Imagining what he might be able to do with more talent is almost scary. And by “scary” I mean “totally freaking awesome”.
The Sacramento Kings (5-14 SU, 9-10 ATS) will try to snap a six-game losing streak on Tuesday night when they play host to the Utah Jazz (11-7 SU, 9-9 ATS) in NBA pro basketball sports betting action that is set to tip off at 10 PM ET at ARCO Arena in Sacramento, CA.
The Los Angeles Lakers (14-1 SU, 10-5 ATS) are flying high in the Western Conference. On Tuesday night they will play a team that loves to fly up and down when they hook up with the Indiana Pacers (6-10 SU, 8-7-1 ATS) in NBA pro basketball sports betting action that is set to get underway at 7 PM ET at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
The Washington Wizards (2-12 SU, 4-10 ATS) have had a horrible time this season.
