NBA Games: 3/6/11

Following up another phenomenal showing yesterday, their are quite a few great lines to bet on here again today.

Bulls vs. Heat

As much as I would ordinarily hate to bet against the Heat, I'm going to have to bet on the Bulls at +5 and push it to +8. I think this is a great betting line, as the Heat have lost 3 out of four games, including one to the Bulls. The Bulls are coming off of a big win against Orlando and simply are playing better basketball then Miami. If the Heat win, don't expect it to be by much.

Lakers vs. Spurs

With Tony Parker coming off of an injury, the Spurs were able to pull of a huge win over Miami. However, this Lakers team has been playing great basketball as of late and are looking for a signature win here. That being said, I'm going to pick the Lakers at +3 and push it up to +6. Don't think the defending champions are going to be blown off of the floor here.

76ers vs. Warriors

Go with the 76ers on the money line at (-310). They have been playing great basketball and are fighting for a higher playoff seeding against a road weary Warriors team that has been in a long slump. Expect the 76ers to come out looking for a win and to try and climb into 6th place.

Suns vs. Thunder

Take the Thunder on the money line at (-220). Kevin Durant and company will be looking to cool off the red-hot Phoenix Suns at home tonight. The Thunder have won three of five in this series and Kevin Durant has been playing some of his best basketball of the season. Look for the Thunder to rally around KD coming off of an ankle injury and beat a Phoenix team that is playing the second night of a back-to-back.

Pistons vs. Wizards

Can I pick them both to lose? Both teams suck, don't even think about betting on this game.

Mavericks vs. Grizzlies

Look for the Mavericks to keep their winning streak alive against a recently cooled Memphis Grizzlies team. Bet on the Mavericks on the money line at (-270). They have been playing great basketball of late and are facing a Grizzlies team that just lost badly to the Hornets. Their 8 game winning streak will go to 9 here.

Celtics vs. Bucks

Go with the Celtics at (-330) and consider yourself lucky. The Bucks have been playing horrendous basketball recently and the Boston Celtics have been playing inspired ball with their new additions. The Celtics will win easy: use this as a risk manager in your gambling portfolio.

Hornets vs. Cavs

Take the Hornets at (-190), need I say more? CP3 has been playing great basketball and the Hornets are fighting for their playoff lives after a horrendous stretch. Know that they are not going to take this game lightly, they are coming in to win and consider themselves fortunate at the opportunity for an "easy" win.

Knicks vs. Hawks

As we have seen with the Heat, don't count Melo and Stat out. They are +4, I'd bet on em and push it to +7. The high-octane Knicks offense won't roll over on the Hawks here, and look for them to keep the game close even if they do not manage to pull off a win.
