NBA Games: 3/11/11

Unlike yesterday, there are quite a few good betting lines today.

Blazers vs. Bobcats

Taking the Blazers at (-190) is a great betting line tonight. The Blazers have been red hot and are fighting to remain in the playoff picture. The Bobcats have been playing horrible and are consigned to their losing fate. Also,  look for Gerald Wallace to exact revenge against the Bobcats team that traded him.

Nets vs. Clippers

Don't touch this one. Both teams are missing key pieces of their lineup and this game can truly go either way.

Celtics vs. 76ers

My bet is the Celtics at (-130). Both teams have been playing pretty good this year and have been hot recently. The Celtics haven't lost in Philly for nearly 4 years and they will come out hungry to both protect their number one seed and to avenge their home loss to the Clippers.

Pacers vs. Raptors

Look for the Pacers to end their slump here, and take them at +1  and push it to +4. The Pacers have been getting killed recently, but look for them to turn it around and try to solidify their playoff push here. Also, the poor shooting by the Pacers is due for a regression to the mean, which should help them against a poor defense like Raptors.

Thunder vs. Pistons

Take the Thunder at (-500) and call it a security pick. The Thunder have been playing great basketball recently and the Pistons have been playing terrible. They have nothing to play for and have lost 9 straight to a Western conference opponent. Easy pick here.

Hawks vs. Bulls

Look for D Rose and the Bulls to avenge a horrible loss to the Atlanta Hawks tonight. They are hungry and have been playing hot. Take the Bulls at (-350) here and watch D Rose not make the same mistakes twice.

Jazz vs. Twolves

This should be a close game. Both teams haven't been playing horrible recently, and the Jazz can still complete for a playoff spot. In a situation like this, go for the points and take the Jazz at +1 and push it to +4.

Kings vs. Spurs

Take the Spurs at (-800). The Kings have been slumping hard and the Spurs have been red hot. It's an easy insurance bet.

Magic vs. Warriors

The Magic are in contention for the division title and jostling for playoff seeding. Look for them to come out hungry against a slumping Warriors squad. Bet on the Magic at (-200) and watch D12 ereck the horrid Warriors defense.
