NBA Betting: San Antonio and Cleveland the good things this weekend

Nick Shiambouros talks us through the events of the last few days and the upcoming matches in the ever-exciting world of the NBA. “I think the Raptors will rise to the challenge and take care of the Warriors. Golden State has had a shocking season and is only playing for pride – I make the Raptors my best bet of the week.” The Utah Jazz thrashed the Golden State Warriors 128-104 with yet another dominant display on Wednesday evening. The Jazz came out firing and had the game in safe keeping at the half

NBA Betting: Jazz prepare for crucial showdown with Lakers

They boast the best point-guard in the NBA and could well finish the season as the second best in the West. Nick Shiambouros explains why the good times are rolling for the Utah Jazz. “Utah faces stiff competition from Dallas, Phoenix and Denver for the number two spot in the West. Only two games separate these four teams.” The Utah Jazz beat a determined New York Knicks team 103-98 on Thursday night with another impressive home display. The Jazz have climbed to third place in the West and have a real chance of ending the year as the second seed. A second place finish would guarantee they would not meet the Los Angeles Lakers until the Conference finals. They would also enjoy home-court advantage in the first round of the play-offs. In the second half of the season the Jazz have played as well as any other team in the West .

Nick Shiambouros is concentrating his efforts on teams that need to win with the playoffs just around the corner “Chris Bosh is still relatively unknown outside the NBA and this immensely talented individual is fully aware that a good playoff run by Toronto will elevate his marketability no end. I am anticipating a big effort from Bosh and company at Chicago and while this is bound to be a hotly contested affair my money will be on Toronto .” Miami Heat crushed the Chicago Bulls 103-74 with a dominant display at the Chicago Center on Thursday.

NBA Weekend Betting: A pair of wagers for Sunday’s action

Nick Shiambouros rounds up the latest news from the NBA before hunting down a pair of tips “In my opinion Durant should win the MVP award this year after his incredible season. This young man is averaging nearly 30 points per game and is one of the most explosive players in the game.” The Los Angeles Lakers were beaten 114-111 by a resilient Miami Heat team on Thursday evening. There were 31 lead changes in this very entertaining affair that was decided in overtime. As usual Dwyane Wade led the way for Miami with 27 points which delighted the home crowd. Kobe Bryant scored 39 points for Los Angeles but the rest of the team were not very productive on offense.

NBA Betting: Lakers are overly-reliant on Bryant

The Los Angeles Lakers have sat atop the Western Conference for several months now. But they’ve had some narrow escapes and Nick Shiambouros believes their luck may not last until the end of the season. “This week, the Lakers travel East for games against Miami, Charlotte and Orlando. On current form, I can see them losing at least two of these games.” The Los Angeles Lakers top the Western Conference, 5.5 games ahead of their nearest pursuer and many people believe they will finish the season with the best record in the West. But I’m not sure that is the case, after a couple of recent losses and some indifferent play. Since the All-Star break, the Lakers’ record is 4-2 but that does not tell the whole story.
