Nuggets at Lakers Betting Odds

April 13, 2012

The Los Angeles Lakers are one game up on the Clippers for the Pacific Division lead and one game ahead of those same Clippers for the 3rd seed in the Western Conference playoffs. Friday night the Lakeshow hosts the Denver Nuggets, who are in danger of missing out on the playoffs altogether if they don’t finish strong. Denver is currently tied with the Houston Rockets for the 7th seed in the West, but they both remain just 1.5 games ahead of Utah and two games ahead of Phoenix. The Nuggets... 

Bulls host Miami in Eastern Conference Battle

April 12, 2012

The top 2 teams in the Eastern Conference and the only 2 teams to solidify a playoff spot for this season will go head to head Thursday night in what will be a competitive battle. Both the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat were picked by the majority of NBA experts to go deep in the playoffs with either one of them representing the East in the NBA Finals. Neither has failed to deliver the goods this season especially at home where they are a combined 47-10. Derrick Rose has been listed as a game-time... 

Lakers use Spurs as Measuring Stick

April 11, 2012

The new-look Los Angeles Lakers have won 8 out of their last 12 with Ramon Sessions at the point guard position. It’s been no secret that they were in desperate need of an upgrade at that spot, and NBA experts were writing them off as being a legitimate contender in the Western conference without one. With Kobe Bryant sidelined with an ankle injury, Sessions has been asked to increase his offensive output. The increased production by Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol can directly be attributed to passing... 

Bulls look for Redemption against Knicks Tuesday Night

April 10, 2012

The New York Knicks pulled out an improbable comeback on Sunday when they managed to tie the Bulls with a 3-pointer by Carmelo Anthony in the final seconds after trailing by 10 with a little over 3 minutes to play. Derrick Rose made his return to the Bulls in that game, and looked like he hasn’t skipped a beat. However, a 29 point performance wasn’t enough to rescue the Bulls from Anthony on what many NBA experts considered to be his greatest game with the Knicks. Rose and the rest of the Bulls... 

Grizzlies getting Hot at Right Time

April 9, 2012

The Memphis Grizzlies are quietly making some noise in the competitive NBA Western Conference. With a convincing win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night, the Grizzlies find themselves just .5 games behind them for the 4th seed and home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. NBA experts didn’t expect all that much out of Memphis when the season began, but they have steadily gained the attention they deserve over the last 2 months of the season. Memphis is currently 10 games... 

Stan Van’s days numbered

April 7, 2012

It appears that Orlando Magic head coach, Stan Van Gundy, is going to join the millions of other Americans in the unemployment line.  In what can only be called awkward, Van Gundy was answering questions from local media when the topic of his job security came up.  More to the point, the long time Magic coach addressed the statement that star center, Dwight Howard, tried to have him fired.  Van Gundy stated, “I was told it was true by people in our management.” He went on to say his... 

Grizzlies at Heat Preview & Betting Odds

April 6, 2012

The Memphis Grizzlies lost an opportunity to gain some separation in their last game, a chance to solidify a top-five playoff position. The Miami Heat came through in an “NBA Finals preview” game to keep itself in the conversation for the East’s top seed. With both teams having playoff positioning to play for, Friday’s game in South Beach should be one to watch as the Grizzlies visit the Heat. Here’s a look at what to expect from both teams, plus a final score prediction to... 

Thunder host Bulls in Battle of Conference Leaders

April 1, 2012

The two best teams in the NBA will go head to head Sunday in what many basketball experts feel may be a preview of the Championship series this season. With Miami making a claim of being 5…6…7 time NBA Champions, not many believed they’d lose in the Finals to Dallas last season as well as be a full 3.5 games behind the Chicago Bulls in the East this year. However, the Bulls are showing more and more each game that they are as good if not better than the self-proclaimed “Dream Team”. Chicago... 

Celtics at Timberwolves Preview & Prediction

March 30, 2012

The Boston Celtics have fully recovered from a slow start to this season to find themselves right in the tick of the top Eastern Conference teams. The Minnesota Timberwolves are desperately trying to stay in the Western Conference playoff chase while playing without their dynamic starting point guard. There may be a playoff-like atmosphere in Minneapolis Friday night when the Celtics come to visit. Here’s a look at what to expect from both teams, plus my final score prediction on the game to... 

Knicks vs. Magic in Eastern Conference Showdown

March 28, 2012

A 6 game losing streak after the All-Star game took away all of the hype surrounding “Linsanity”. The New York Knicks haven’t yet performed up to NBA experts expectations, but are slowly working their way towards getting back on track. Getting Carmelo Anthony back into the starting line-up was supposed to send this team on a rampage that would propel them towards the top of the Atlantic division. However, no one anticipated the amount of time that was needed for Anthony to get in sync with...
