Feb. 9th– NBA Betting Games

** Records and stats not counting Tuesday night games.

Los Angeles Clippers (19-31) at New York Knicks (26-24)

Where: Madison Square Garden, New York, New York

When: 7:30 pm EST

NBA Odds: Over 214

Analysis: 214 seems like a lot of points, doesn’t it? But these two squads squashed the total in the NBA sportsbook the last time they faced each other with the Clippers losing a 124 to 115 battle. That’s a total of 239 points. I’d say that 25 points is a lot to work with! The Knicks are a run and gun squad but so are the Clippers. Even though guard Eric Gordon is likely to be out again, LAC still has plenty of fresh legs to help Blake Griffin get the ball in the basket. Amare Stoudemire for New York is averaging 26.3 points per game and the Knicks are averaging 106.5 per as a team. This game should approach the total with around 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

Chciago Bulls (34-16) at Utah Jazz (31-22)

Where: EnergySolutions Arena, Salt Lake City, Utah

When: 9:00 pm EST

NBA Odds: Chicago +2

Analysis: There’s a huge difference between these two teams. Deron Williams is virtually Utah’s only option. The point-guard leads the Jazz in assists (of course!) with 9.5 per game but he also leads the Jazz in points with 21.5 per. As important as Derrick Rose is for the Bulls, and he’s important because he scores over 26 points per game, the Bulls and Rose can turn to Carlos Boozer or Luol Deng if Williams shuts Rose down. Having guys like Deng and Boozer in the front court really gives the edge to Rose and the Bulls in this game. I believe that they cover the online NBA online betting spread in this contest on Wednesday night.

Dallas Mavericks (36-15) at Sacramento Kings (12-36)

Where: Arco Arena, Sacramento, California

When: 10:00 pm EST

NBA Odds: Dallas -5

Analysis: Nobody should be betting against the Dallas Mavericks to cover a basketball odds spread in the sports book. The Mavs have gone 6 and 2 against the spread in their last 8 games. Dallas also had their “scare” versus a bad team on Feb. 7th when the Cleveland Cavaliers lost by only 3 points in a 96 to 99 “almost win”. It was the Cavs 25th straight loss. Dallas should bounce back and punish the Kings on Wednesday night for making them feel foolish on Monday night. Hey, that’s what Sacramento gets for being a part of this season’s Forgetful Five with Cleveland, Toronto, Minnesota and the New Jersey Nets.
