The Suns just completed a trade for Jason Richardson who\u2019s averaging over 18 points a game. The Suns needed scoring. Well, they got it. How will it affect the Magic who will need all of their guns ready when visiting Utah? It might affect them a lot. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/mid\/2183\/default.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 1px solid #ffffff;\" title=\"Betus NBA Betting\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sportsimagestore.com\/showbanner.asp?affid=11892&#038;banid=1399 alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a>Utah on the other hand will be without Carlos Boozer yet again who is out indefinitely due to a quadricep issue. His absence has not been as crucial as some may have thought because of the solid play of Mehmet Okur who is averaging 27 points a game. Wow. I would usually go with Dwight Howard and the Magic in this situation but the Jazz are good at home and Okur could go point for point with Howard. Plus, the flight from Phoenix to Utah isn\u2019t as easy as some might think. I\u2019m taking the Jazz.<\/p>\n<h3>Predicted online betting spread and pick: Utah Jazz \u2013 5 \u00bd to cover<\/h3>\n<h2>Best Online NBA Betting Game This Sunday<\/h2>\n<p>New Orleans Hornets vs. Toronto Raptors &#8211; &#8211; The Hornets play Boston on Friday night, take Saturday off, and then travel to Toronto to take on the Raptors Sunday. I believe that New Orleans could potentially upset the Celtics on Friday night. If they do, it won\u2019t be easy which means that one day of rest might not be enough for them go to Toronto and take down Chris Bosh and the Raptors. The Hornets look set for the proverbial \u201cbounce\u201d in this game should they play the Celtics tough on Friday night. They don\u2019t even have to beat the Celtics to bounce against the Raptors. The Raptors finally have their starting line-up set with Jermaine O\u2019Neal returning from injury. O\u2019Neal, Bosh, Jason Kapono, Jamario Moon and Jose Calderon make Toronto one of the most prolific scoring teams in the NBA. The problem is that they have to start winning games. They will probably do so on Sunday by beating the Hornets by at least 7 points.<\/p>\n<h3>Predicted online betting spread and pick: Toronto Raptors \u2013 6 \u00bd to cover<\/h3>\n<p>Good Luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s another weekend in the NBA and even though there are a number of games for NBA sports betting fans to place online bets on, I\u2019ve tried to pick two games that should provide plenty of interest&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[64,6563,3925,5775,6559,6562,6565,6560,6561,6564],"class_list":["post-5720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nba","tag-against-the-spread","tag-best-online-nba-betting-site","tag-nba-predictions","tag-nba-sports-betting","tag-new-orleans-hornets-vs-toronto-raptors-free-pick","tag-online-nba-betting","tag-online-wagering-nba","tag-orlando-magic-vs-utah-jazz-free-pick","tag-spread-and-pick","tag-weekends-games"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5720"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5720\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5722,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5720\/revisions\/5722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
