NBA Betting: Talented Toronto can go deep in the playoffs

The Raptors boast a top quality performer in Chris Bosh but there’s more than just him to this under-rated outfit, says Nick Shiambouros “Many people think the NBA finals will be contested by Los Angeles and Cleveland. According to the current prices on offer most punters agree with that assessment but I think this year has been one of the most competitive seasons in a long time and no single team has managed to truly dominate in either Conference.” The Toronto Raptors are currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference and have a great chance of making the playoffs. Team leader Chris Bosh has just returned to the team after missing seven games through injury. Bosh remains one of the elite players in basketball averaging over 24 points per game and 11 rebounds. He is a free agent at the end of the year and a good playoff run will increase his bargaining power enormously

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: Arenas scandal shakes Wizards

The Gilbert Arenas scandal has rocked a side which Nick Shiambouros had high hopes for at the beginning of the season. Now they could be heading for a major slump. “Arenas’ behaviour is inexcusable but it would be a great shame if this incident ended his career.” Before the start of the season I thought the Washington Wizards had an outside chance of making the play-offs
