March 10, 2009

The Charlotte Bobcats (28-35 SU, 38-25 ATS, 28-33-2 O/U) have won six straight games in the BetOnline Sportsbook.

The San Antonio Spurs (42-20 SU, 32-28-2 ATS, 29-32-1 O/U) have won two straight and three of its last four overall.

Both teams will be gunning for a victory in the BetOnline Sportsbook when they meet at the AT&T Center tonight.

Veteran small forward Gerald Wallace posted a double-double with 23 points and 13 rebounds to help Charlotte defeat the New York Knicks 114-105 on Saturday, as 3.5-point road underdogs while the game’s 219 combined points played Over the posted O/U total of 206.5 points.

Multi-talented forward Boris Diaw added 22 points while point guard Raymond Felton contributed 19 points and 10 assists in the win.

The Spurs defeated the Phoenix Suns 103-98 as a 4.5-point favorite on Sunday just as I predicted that day, Sunday’s NBA 4-Pack while the combined score checked in Under the posted O/U total of 217.5 points.

Fleet-footed point guard Tony Parker scored a team-high 30 points and handed out nine assists for the Spurs while all-star power forward Tim Duncan added 17 points and 15 rebounds in the win.

Over 178 -110

Under 178 -110

Analysis: The Charlotte Bobcats are playing excellent basketball at the moment and covered the spread against the Spurs the last time they met, but have failed to cover the spread in San Antonio in three straight contests.

While I don’t think this contest is going to be a rout by any means, I think the Spurs have just enough gas in the tank to take the Bobcats by the seven points it will take to narrowly cover the spread tonight.

Take San Antonio and the Over to double up on your winnings BetOnline NBA betting buffs.
