NBA Betting – Any chance of an upset in Boston on Saturday?
Sports betting players have been wagering on whether New Jersey will get to 10 wins this year, and right now, it’s looking like it will be close for the sad-sack Nets, who will face an uphill climb when they head to Boston on Saturday afternoon for a meeting with the Celtics.Nets vs Celtics odds – Saturday, February 27, 1:00 PM ET
The Nets have lost four in a row since a rare win, at Charlotte of all places, and the Bobcats are one of the best home teams in the league, so anything is possible, to quote Kevin Garnett. The Nets fought hard to make it interesting in a 102-93 loss at home to Portland on Tuesday, and that’s one thing that you have to give New Jersey, is that they aren’t just rolling over and letting teams rout them. They are out there trying in what has been a very tough season. Courtney Lee and Devin Harris had 28 points for the Nets, and they also got 17 points and 10 boards from Brook Lopez, but no one else scored more than six points, and New Jersey allowed Portland to shoot 54.1% from the field.
The Celtics will first face Cleveland at home on Thursday, and they could be without Paul Pierce for that game as “The Truth” hurt his thumb last week against the Lakers. They didn’t need him in a 110-106 win over New York on Tuesday in the debut of Nate Robinson, suiting up against his former team after missing three games with the flu. Robinson scored four points in 16 minutes of action for the Celtics, who were led by Ray Allen’s 24 points and a big block late in the game. Allen had been averaging 21.8 points in his last five games ahead of the Cleveland game, and he looks more relaxed now that all of the trade talk that surrounded him is over. Allen is out to prove that he can still be productive on a playoff team, and he’ll get more shots with Pierce out.
You’d probably get better odds in a super casino than you would get for the Nets to win in Boston, where they’ve lost five in a row. Overall, the Celtics have won a whopping 12 straight over the Nets, including three games this year. Allen has averaged 17.7 points against the Nets this year, while Lopez has put up 20.0 points, and the Nets actually played the Celtics tough in a 96-87 loss in Boston on February 5th, powered by 26 points from Allen. The Nets just have no idea how to win this year, and the Celtics will have enough in the tank, even without Pierce.
NBA betting pick: Boston

Bet on Burton to end winless run at Las Vegas - Nascar Betting
Sports betting players should check out the Shelby American at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday, because even though a familiar face won last week at California, there’s a team that has shown massive improvement from last year over the first two weeks of the season, and one of their drivers will snap a 43-race winless streak.Las Vegas Odds – Sunday, February 28, 2:00 PM ET
Jimmie Johnson (+400) is proof of the old saying, “you have to be good to be lucky, and lucky to be good”, and the four-time defending champion showed why at California. Granted, he led a race-high 101 laps en route to the checkered flag, but he was in danger of going a lap down after he was caught in the pits on a yellow flag. He beat the timing line into the pits, and instead, came out the race leader. Johnson has been a force here, winning three straight years from 2005 to 2007, and he led 92 laps last year before fading to 24th.
It was Jeff Burton (+1500) who Johnson just beat out for the lead, and the No.31 driver has a pair of wins at Las Vegas, although they haven’t come since 1999 and 2000. However, Burton finished third here last year, and his 9.8 average in 12 races is the best among active drivers.
Kyle Busch (+700) won the pole here last year, and then won the race while starting at the back of his hometown track because of a changed engine. Bookmaker odds (bookmaker reviews) for the No.18 driver are usually pretty solid, as he may have the most pure talent in all of NASCAR, but he can be hit-and-miss, especially when he has a bad car. To his credit, Busch’s car was terrible in California, and he drove it to a 14th-place finish.
Two drivers to watch if you’re looking for some sportsbook value are Matt Kenseth (+2000) and Joey Logano (+3000). Kenseth won here in 2003 and 2004, and he’d like to avenge last year’s trip to Vegas, when he was a favorite in your gambling software to win after taking the checkered flag at Daytona and California, but a blown engine ruined his chances just seven laps in. Logano finished 13th here in his first trip to Vegas last year, and that was as a wide-eyed rookie. Logano has a year under his belt and his coming off a fifth-place run at California last week, two spots ahead of Kenseth.
Burton is the safe play here at +1500, and he was catching up to Johnson last week before Harvick got in the mix. Burton has a good track record here, and is one of just four drivers to have raced in all 12 of the races held here.
Bet on sports: Jeff Burton +1500

NBA Betting – Bryant should be back to help Lakers get revenge on Grizzlies
Memphis showed bookmakers (sportsbook odds) that they were no joke with an upset of the Los Angeles Lakers at the beginning of the month, but there hasn’t been much to cheer about since. The Lakers will get another crack at the Grizzlies in Memphis on Tuesday night, and their star should be back in the lineup.Lakers vs Grizzlies odds – Tuesday, February 23, 8:00 PM ET
The Lakers have been off since Thursday, but Kobe Bryant has been out since February 5th with an ankle injury. Bryant really needed the time off as he was also battling a bad back and a broken finger, but the Lakers have fared surprisingly well without their superstar, going 4-1 in the five games he missed, including impressive wins at Portland and Utah, and in those five games, Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol (twice) Shannon Brown and Ron Artest all took turns leading the team in scoring. The Lakers can sometimes get sucked into “isolation time for Bryant” mode, and this has to give him even more confidence in his teammates, which was the key to last year’s run to the championship. Bryant has averaged an outlandish 42.5 points in two meetings with Memphis this year.
The Grizzlies beat the Lakers on February 1st, and not counting Sunday’s game in New Jersey, Memphis is 1-6 since, and that lone win came in an upset overtime win in Toronto. It’s almost like the Grizzlies have just decided to stop playing defense, allowing 104.9 points per game, which is more than their season average. The Grizzlies are reverting back to doing all the things that many thought they would be at the beginning of the season, as they’re not sharing the ball on offense, and they’re not helping out on defense, and that will get you nowhere in the sportsbook race in the Western Conference. Zach Randolph has put up 21.5 points and 16.0 boards against the Lakers this season.
The Grizzlies should be favored at home, but not by much, seeing as they’ve lost four in a row at FedEx Forum since beating the Lakers 95-93 behind 23 points from Rudy Gay, ending a five-game skid against the defending NBA champions. Bryant had 44 points as he set the franchise record for points scored, but a team approach should be the focus of Tuesday’s game, especially with Bryant just coming back into the fold. The Grizzlies have no confidence in themselves or each other, and this is the wrong team to go into a game with your head down, because the Lakers will smell blood and end it quickly. We’ll see what kind of team Memphis really is on Tuesday.

Knicks acquired Tracy McGrady
Cleveland Cavaliers retaining LeBron James, but the New York Knicks are confident that improved their position to try to take it and also to acquire another superstar.And they are the only teams to prepare their wallet to spend big in the summer.
The Knicks acquired Tracy McGrady yesterday in a three-team trade that also involved the Houston Rockets and the Sacramento Kings, told The Associated Press a source aware of the negotiations.
The deal left to being able to offer two contracts with the maximum salary possible the group of free agents of 2010, which would be headed by James.
The Knicks will also receive the Spanish Sergio Rodriguez of the Kings, but the great attraction of the transaction is McGrady and his $ 23 million contract that expires at the end of the campaign.
The Rockets will guard Kevin Martin and forward Hilton Armstrong of Sacramento, in addition to the eaves Jordan Hill, Jared Jeffries and draft picks in 2011 and 2012 in New York.
Amare Stoudemire could be on the market if it decides to go to Phoenix, where once again conclude the tournament after his name was mentioned in the rumors of swaps in the weeks before the deadline transactions.
Both Bulls and Wizards and Kings reduced their payroll enough to get rid of some players to be able to pay a superstar.
NBA Betting – Raptors Will Handle Wizards On Saturday
The Washington Wizards may have had a fire sale at the NBA trade deadline but they aren’t necessarily worse off for it. The Wizards have traded away Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison, Deshawn Stevenson and Brendan Haywood, four players who were a major part of their rotation at the beginning of the year, and now they are thin. They are also without point guard Gilbert Arenas, who is the franchise face (for now) and is currently suspended for the season. But are the Wizards actually worse? Or more importantly, can they be any worse?
Overall, the Wizards are 18-33 and they have amassed a small win total with all of those players around. Can they be much worse?
Now a lot of their youth will start to get some minutes, including Andray Blatche, JaVale McGee, Randy Foye and Nick Young will get big minutes.
Meanwhile, the Raptors are in a different mindset as they are working towards the playoffs. They are coming off a tough home loss to the Memphis Grizzlies and will look to bounce back on Saturday.
Toronto Raptors @ Washington Wizards
Bodog Odds (Bodog): Raptors -3
NBA betting fans know that the Raptors are 22-11 in their last 33 games and they have turned out to be a quality team after starting 7-13.
The Raptors may not be the best team in the East but they appear to be building good chemistry. They struggle on defense and they struggle to rebound, but they are a high-scoring outfit that is having fun playing together and is winning games. That’s a big key.
The Wizards know about this because they were at the opposite end of the spectrum prior to the trades. Now they are a young team once again searching for an identity.
This is a bit of a mismatch for Washington and they are going to struggle for a little bit while they find their feet. The good news for them is that they actually have five capable starters now who are going to grow into good players, but they aren’t there yet.
The Raptors are hungry for a win and they need one in a bad way to get back on track. After losing to Memphis, they’ll be focused and they’ll outrun Washington on the road with a healthy win.
