NBA Betting - Lakers and Suns primed to put up the points

November 20, 2008

By: BetOnline.com

NBA betting will be the talk of the town amongst sports bettors and offshore sports wagering enthusiasts on Thursday. Those who bet on sports will keep their eyes on NBA lines, NBA spreads, NBA odds, and NBA picks in the coming days, with a marquee matchup on the horizon.

Lakers vs Suns betting favors the road team, and will feature two main storylines that NBA bettors will have their eyes on all night. The first is the rematch between Kobe Bryant and former teammate Shaquille O’Neal. The two publicly feuded after Shaq left Los Angeles for Miami, and the war of words has never really stopped. These two superstars certainly bring their ‘A’ game against one another, and this Thursday should be absolutely no different.

The second will be the big-man matchup in the paint between Pau Gasol and Amare Stoudamire. These two bring it every night, and have been absolutely on fire to start the season. Both will most certainly be in the All-Star game this year, but online sportsbook fans, sports betting enthusiasts and NBA betting sharps will have the opportunity to see them put on a display during Lakers vs Suns betting before all of that.

Head over to BetOnline.com and check out our NBA lines, NBA spreads, NBA odds, and NBA picks and lay it down on the piping hot Thursday night basketball betting action!

NBA Betting – Knicks Look To Keep Rolling Versus Thunder

November 14, 2008

Online betting sharps need to keep an eye on the injury status of a couple of key Oklahoma City Thunder members in their Friday Night contest against the New York Knicks.

 

Franchise player Kevin Durant missed his last outing as did power forward Chris Wilcox.

 

Those who bet on sports have watched the Knicks make an impressive turnaround. They are currently 5-3 after finishing with just 23 wins all of last year.

 

More importantly, they are doing it with a new cast, including former first-round pick Wilson Chandler, free agent acquisition Chris Duhon and David Lee carrying heavy minutes.

 

Betting sports can always be a little easier when key players are out and that was evident on Wednesday night when the Thunder faced the Orlando Magic at home without Durant and Wilcox. Sportsbook odds had the Magic as a seven point favorite but they covered wire-to-wire as Dwight Howard racked up 30 points, 19 rebounds and 10 blocks against the punch-less Thunder.

 

If Durant is out, the Thunder won’t have the firepower to keep up with the Knicks new run-and-gun style. Look for the Knicks to run up the score in front of their Friday night home crowd in this one.
