Chance Harper -

Celtics and Bulls are two of the hottest teams in the NBA heading into their third meeting of the season. Too bad both teams are struggling on the betting odds board for spread bettors.

Bill Dozer - Half time betting is profitable for sportsbooks because of the type of bettor it attracts. There are the gamblers who were at work and missed getting down on their team and there are the bettors who watched their team get blown out in the first two quarters who look to 2nd half odds for reason to keep watching. Then there is the chaser, the book's most profitable type of bettor...He's the guy down large on the night and can't be at peace with tomorrow is another day. He wants to go to bed with a number in the plus column but there are no more games on the board to cap. His last chance of the night is to play the odds in the second half.

Jasonal_98 - NBA fans can expect offensive fireworks at US Airways Arena on Friday night when the New York Knicks head to the desert to meet the Phoenix Suns.

Is there a NBA franchise more cursed than the Portland Trail Blazers?

Chance Harper -

The five teams in the NBA’s Eastern Conference Central Division combine for a record of 48-66, and Chicago is the only team in the division with a record currently over .500 at 14-8 SU. Still, the team that eventually earns the division title will secure themselves a spot in the playoffs as well as a seeding in the top four. Chicago is the favorite but their biggest threat appears to be the Indiana Pacers.

Bob Harvey -

Don’t look now but the Bulls are threating to pull away from the pack in the NBA’s Central Division.

You’ll find the latest odds on this game as well as all of the NBA matchups at SBR Lines.

If there were more people like Tim Duncan, NBA betting would be a more profitable place. Just ask bettors that have been on to the San Antonio Spurs to start the 2010-11 NBA season. The Spurs were on their way out as an elite team after falling to Phoenix in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs last spring. 

Steven Suarez -

Two teams that couldn't be playing any more differently take to the court against one other as the Dallas Mavericks (14-4) visit the Sacramento Kings (4-12) on Saturday.
