NBA Betting News

People who want to become a bookie might think that other matchups this Saturday in the NBA offer the promise of a more certain win for prospective bettors. Indiana at Phoenix might be just such a case, and the same might hold true for the Lakers' visit to Sacramento or Memphis' trip to Minnesota. Orlando at Atlanta is probably the safest bet on the board. However, when immersed in the world of legal online sports betting, part of the thrill of the action is finding out how two closely-matched teams stack up against each other. The tough games are the interesting ones, and on Saturday, there's no better NBA clash than the one between the visiting Los Angeles Clippers and the homestanding Houston Rockets. This game looks and feels like a coin-flip, given the larger realities of the two sides.

First of all, any premier betting outlet would need to establish at the start that rest and travel will not be factors for either team... because both teams will be tired as they take the court in Texas. The Clippers will have spent Friday night (March 29) warring with the San Antonio Spurs in a big-league battle.

In the rest of the players, one name stands out above all: LeBron James. The Miami Heat star signed some incredible numbers that certainly should give the title of Player of the Week in the Eastern Conference, especially considering that his team was undefeated, something that managed other three teams this week-and that sum and 26 games without defeat.

James averaged 30.8 points, top scorer in the league, 8.8 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals with 59% success in the field goal. Its statistical evaluation was 40, a figure difficult to maintain over a week and no other player approached.

Good week for Chris Paul also leader in assists, Tim Duncan and James Harden, who was the best of about undefeated Rockets, who are postulated as the most serious candidates for the award of Player of the Week in the West. Duncan also overcame none other than Shaquille O'Neal in the list of historical rebounders in the NBA.

The Chicago Bulls, ravaged by injuries, will try to get off the canvas this Sunday when they go north to play the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road.

Chicago Bulls @ Minnesota Timberwolves – Sunday, March 24

In the realm of sport betting online, you're probably going to find a lot of debate about this game among bookies and the betting students who scour various 5dimes.com reviews during an NBA season. The thing that stands out about this game is that the Bulls have been destroyed by injuries this season. Not only has Derrick Rose been out for the duration, but valuable role players have not been in the lineup for most of the past few weeks.

Taj Gibson is an athletic, high-energy forward with length and great leaping ability. He is an impressive rebounder and a capable shot blocker who provides first-rate defense for the Bulls. He makes head coach Tom Thibodeau's system look a lot better on the floor.
