March 5, 2009
After lighting up the BetOnline Sportsbook with a perfect 4-0 mark on Tuesday night’s NBA selections, your handicapping homeboy Eric ‘E Dubya’ Williams is back again to put more bankroll-boosting NBA sports betting dough in BetOnline NBA online betting fanatics’ pockets everywhere.
The Indiana Pacers (27-36 SU, 35-26-2 ATS, 36-26-1 O/U) jumped all over the lowly Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night, winning 117-109 to cover the spread as 2.5-point road favorites while the game played Over the 215.5-point O/U total in the BetOnline Sportsbook.
Combo-guard Jarrett Jack scored a team-high 26 points while veteran forward Troy Murphy added 23 points on 4-for-6 shooting from three-point distance.
The Trail Blazers won their second straight game on Sunday by jumping all over the San Antonio Spurs in their 102-84 win to cash in for NBA sports betting backers as a 4.5-point favorite on Sunday.
Power forward LaMarcus Aldridge and all-star shooting guard Brandon Roy each scored a team-high 26 points while the combined score played OVER the posted over/under total (182).
Here is a look at tonight’s key trends, followed by my in-depth analysis and NBA Free Pick.

NBA Odds
Indiana Pacers +10 -110
Portland Trailblazers -10 -110
Over 208 -110
Under 208 -110
Analysis: Believe it or not NBA sports betting enthusiasts, the Indiana Pacers have covered the spread in nine straight games against the Portland Trailblazers – and with such a high line tonight – will do it once again tonight.
I also like the Under in a big way despite the fact that both of these teams can score the ball consistently. Indiana and Portland have combined to go Under tonight’s 208-point O/U total in each of their last 10 meetings.
