Who here lives and breaths NBA basketball?
With Football ending I've made a lot of cash through some guys and I'm looking to parlay most of it. The only lines they have are NBA.
I'm a Football and Horse Racing guy so I don't watch any basketball but the Gators.
So, I was wondering what teams seem to be doing well each night winning by a lot or losing by a little? I'm looking for a good team to place a good wager. I'm not going to go and bet what some teenagers say, but I would like to hear what you guys think.

There haven't been a good many this year.
Dallas and Phoenix have been winning a ton as of late. However, they both had awful starts to the year. They both seemt o have found their groove though.
San Antonio is consistently good, but they don't necessarily blow anyone out.

Picking against the Atlantic Division is a pretty safe bet...

Idk, the Knicks are pretty streaky. Now, going against Boston, you should put it all down. We blow.

As of late, the Magic, Cavaliers, Spurs, Rockets, and Mavericks seem to all be very good bets.

The Knicks are 7-4 since the brawl, they COULD turn this season around but they won't.

The Magic have been the definition of streaky since December. One day they'll win by 30, the next they'll lose by 20...
And the Cavs have won a lot, but I doubt they cover often just by looking at their scores. If you're going to parlay it, I'd try and stay away from them because even if you're playing it by matchups, Cleveland doesn't even really blow out bad teams anyways...
As for the Rockets, all you have to do is look at their records against each conference. It's beastly in the East, but terrible in the West...

Dallas Mavericks, unless they are playing the Lakers.

NBA basketball sucks. Its one-on-one, drive to the basket and if the officials want you to win you get a foul called. Star treatment like www.youtube.com/watch?v=aySGUzzxjGEis what turns me off. |

Did they have any horse racing where you were? They did - almost every sports book in almost every hotel had horse racing in the morning/early afternoon every day we were there but I don't know enough about it to bet on any of it. I just stuck to the college and pro bball games because that's really all that was going on while I was there. I could have bet on the football games at the end of the week but I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending in my ticket and waiting to get my money back, etc - plus I was very happy with what I ended up with to begin with so I left with that. It was weird to place all the bets in the morning and then the games started as early as 4pm since it was west coast and I'm not used to that - so each day I had to make sure I made the effort to make the bets right afer we ate breakfast or I'd forget and miss a lot of the games. |

Played the Bulls +1 tonight for 100. They are down by 4 after the 1st.
Was up 500 coming into the week but lost 400 yesterday on the Saints and Pats.
