They won&#8217;t make that mistake again.

Atlanta had six players in double figures, and a balanced team will beat a one-man show every time. Take Atlanta to cover the basketball betting spread.<\/p>\n<p>Online betting pick: Hawks<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hornets vs Nuggets odds &#8211; Wednesday, 10:30 PM ET\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Nuggets are six-point home favorites, and they shouldn&#8217;t expect another explosion from Chauncey Billups, who had 36 in a 113-84 blowout. Carmelo Anthony needs to make some shots. For the Hornets, it&#8217;s David West who has to step up and prove he&#8217;s worthy of being an All-Star. Denver will win, but they won&#8217;t cover the sportsbook spread.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 1px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/baff.betonline.com\/aspx\/affiliateGetImage.aspx?ID_SC=2225&amp;ID_I=1787\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Online betting pick: Denver to win, not to cover<\/p>\n<p><strong>Celtics vs Bulls odds &#8211; Thursday, 8:00 PM ET\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Celtics are two-point underdogs on the road, and the Bulls have to be bursting with confidence after winning Game 1 in Boston, and they were within a Ray Allen three of overtime in Game 2&#8217;s 118-115 loss. Now the Celtics have lost Leon Powe, another blow to their interior defense. The United Center will be rockin&#8217;, so take the Bulls to cover the basketball betting spread.<\/p>\n<p>Online betting pick: Bulls<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spurs vs Mavericks odds &#8211; Thursday, 8:30 PM ET\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Mavericks are four-point favorites at home with the series tied at one, but they have to find a way to stop Tony Parker, who destroyed them with layups en route to 38 points in a 105-84 loss. Dirk Nowitzki and company are far better at home, but it won&#8217;t matter if they can&#8217;t stop Parker. Take the Spurs in a basketball betting upset.<\/p>\n<p>Online betting pick: Spurs<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lakers vs Jazz odds &#8211; Thursday, 10:00 PM ET\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Lakers are 2.5-point favorites on the road with a 2-0 lead, and they shot 60 per cent from the floor in a 119-109 win in Game 2. Los Angeles isn&#8217;t playing great defense, admittedly, but the Jazz can&#8217;t stop them at the other end of the floor anyway, and they&#8217;re still missing Mehmet Okur, who is very questionable for this game. However, Utah is an insane place to play, and they&#8217;ll be the difference as the Jazz pull out a basketball betting &#8220;upset&#8221; at home.<\/p>\n<p>Online betting pick: Jazz<\/p>\n<h3>If you love betting on NBA playoff games, you\u2019ve found a new home.
