The San Antonio Spurs will have to learn to win without guard Tony Parker as he is likely to miss the rest of the regular NBA wagering season with a broken hand. They might have an easier time on Monday at Cleveland if LeBron James does not play for the Cavaliers. James sat out on Saturday in Milwaukee and the Cavaliers lost 92-85. Head coach Mike Brown said that LeBron was held out for rest but James did roll his ankle against Detroit on Friday. The Cavaliers got 30 points out of Antawn Jamison and 27 points from Delonte West but they didn’t have enough to win without LeBron against the Bucks on Saturday. The Cavaliers are listed as a 7 –point NBA wagering lines favorite at SBG Global with a total of 195. Watch all the sports wagering action live on NBA-TV at 7:05pm ET.

It is possible that LeBron will be held out again on Monday since the Cavaliers have three days off after this NBA wagering lines game. "He has played a lot of minutes for us, and I felt it would be good for him and for the team to hold him out," Brown said about holding out LeBron on Saturday. "This is my decision based on the minutes I think he has played and his body and all that other stuff.”

San Antonio got the win over Memphis on Saturday but they lost Parker in the process. He broke his fourth metacarpal and is not expected to play again until the NBA wagering playoffs. "I knew it was a scrum," San Antonio’s Tim Duncan said. "He said he reached for the ball, and hit the ball or hit a body or a hand or something. "Parker is the second leading scorer on the Spurs at 16.6 points per game and his absence will be huge. "He’s got a broken hand. He’ll be out six weeks," San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich said, "He did it in the first half when he dove on the floor."

The Spurs have not played well against the Eastern Conference. The Spurs are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against the East. San Antonio has also not done well at Cleveland of late as the Spurs are 2-6 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Cleveland. The Cavaliers are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 vs. the Southwest. The Cavaliers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games.

The Over is 4-1 in the Spurs last 5 road games. The Under is 8-3-1 in the Spurs last 12 vs. Eastern Conference. The Over is 8-3-1 in the Cavaliers last 12 home games. The Under is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings in Cleveland.

New Orleans Hornets vs San Antonio Spurs NBA Wagering

steve — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:15:11 +0000

The San Antonio Spurs have had a few days off since defeating the New Orleans Hornets earlier this week. The Spurs won’t get much time off the rest of the NBA wagering season and they are just barely ahead of Portland in 7^th place in the Western Conference standings. The schedule down the stretch is not going to be easy with games against the Lakers, Boston, Orlando, Atlanta and two against Cleveland. "We know how tough it’s going to get," guard Manu Ginobili said. "We really need to improve. If we don’t improve and take a step forward, we can probably not make (the playoffs)." The Spurs are listed as an 8 point wagering lines favorite at SBG Global with a total of 197.5. All the NBA wagering action goes down tonight at 9:35pm ET on ESPN.

The Spurs routed New Orleans 106-92 on Monday. The Spurs have scored at least 104 points in their last three games and they will need to keep the offense going as they play 15 games in the next three and a half weeks. "It’s going to decide our season," Tony Parker said. "We have a lot of big games and a lot of back-to-backs. We have a good opportunity. We’ve played pretty well the last two games, so hopefully we can keep it going."

San Antonio has owned New Orleans at home, winning 10 of the last 11 meetings. New Orleans really needs a win on Friday since they are five games out of the last NBA wagering playoff spot. They are not playing well though, having lost five of their last six. Without Chris Paul the Hornets are simply not a playoff contender. "As a team, I don’t think we have a good rhythm. We’re not playing fluid basketball," forward David West said, "Basketball is a rhythm game and everybody has to be on the same page as far as feeling good and confident about what we are going out there to do." The Hornets could fall below .500 if they lose on Friday.

The Hornets are 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 road games. The Hornets are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Hornets are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 Friday games. The Hornets are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings in San Antonio. The Spurs are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Spurs are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Friday games.

The Over is 8-1 in the Hornets last 9 road games. The Over is 4-1 in the Hornets last 5 overall. The Over is 5-1 in the Spurs last 6 overall. The Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in San Antonio between the two teams.

Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Championship Wagering Lines

Cleveland Rocked: The Cavs face some adversity as they head into the stretch run of the NBA season

The Cleveland Cavaliers were riding a high about a week ago. Online sportsbooks had the Cavs listed at -110 wagering lines to take the Eastern Conference and +225 NBA lines to win an NBA title and they had just completed a deal for Antawn Jamison.

Things aren’t so peachy this week. Cleveland learned that center Shaquille O’Neal, who sprained his right thumb in a game against Boston last Thursday, would be out for the rest of the regular season and possibly the first-round of the NBA playoffs—he had successful surgery on his thumb on Monday.

“The doctors were very pleased with the surgery [Monday] morning,” Cavs GM Danny Ferry said. “He will be in a splint for the next two weeks. From there he starts the process of physical therapy so that he can be at full strength and back on the court during the playoffs.”

Cleveland currently is using Anderson Varejao at the five-spot but it may be another three weeks before they can get some help. The Cavaliers dealt away C Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who was subsequently bought out by the Washington Wizards, the team that had traded for him a little over a week earlier, meaning he could possibly return to Cleveland in a few weeks time.

Strangely enough, the Cavs’ chances of taking the NBA title have improved with Cleveland sitting at +200 sports wagering lines to win the NBA title and still -110 wagering lines to take the East. Following a home game against the New York Knicks on Monday, the Cavaliers will travel to New Jersey to play the Nets on Wednesday.

In Cleveland’s last nine games overall, they are 3-6 against the spread. They have produced 7 Overs and 3 Unders in those 10 games. The Cavs are on a seven-game win streak straight up in their last seven overall against the Nets, as one might expect against a bad New Jersey team. Looking at the Over/Under numbers in these head-to-head matchups with only 3 Overs and 11 Unders.

In Cleveland’s last eight visits to Jersey, these two have combined for 6 Unders.

Boston Celtics vs Detroit Pistons Wagering

The Boston Celtics play a road game against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday before hosting the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday.Boston has been a very good play for sports bettors in their last 10 visits to the Motor City, producing a profitable mark of 8-2 ATS. Total bettors take note, in those 10 games the results have been only 1 Over and 9 Unders.

Looking ahead, Boston heads in to play Charlotte, where they are only 3-7 ATS. That will be their second game in back-to-back nights. The Celtics have also struggled in their last 10 games in this situation, posting a losing 3-7 ATS mark.

The NBA season moves along as the playoff races slowly begin to form. Have a good week and visit SPORTSBETTING.com for a 110% sign-up bonus!

Shelby American Wagering Lines at Las Vegas

steve — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 17:24:02 +0000

The Sprint Cup Series in NASCAR moves to Las Vegas this week for the Shelby American on Sunday at 3pm ET on FOX. Jimmie Johnson is the 4-1 favorite in NASCAR lines at SBG Global but there are a number of other contenders. Johnson is coming off a win last week at California and has won this race three times (2005-2007). He has had problems the last two years though, finishing 24^th and 29^th. It is pretty much all or nothing for Johnson in Las Vegas which is just how it is for many gamblers who visit the city.

Jeff Gordon has not started this season very well but he could turn things around in Vegas. He won this race in 2001 and in the past five years he has finished sixth or better in four of the five races. Gordon is 9-1 in NASCAR wagering lines to win this race at SBG Global. Tony Stewart is another driver off to a slow start this season. He finished 22^nd at Daytona and 9^th last week in California. He really wants to win at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway since he has never won a race there. He is 10-1 in NASCAR odds. “These early races teach you very quickly where your program is compared to the competition,” said Stewart, “If your cars are good, you’ll run well at California, Vegas, Atlanta, Texas and so on. Everybody wants to know where they stack up and shake up right now. If you can get off to a good start, it shows that your program is really where it needs to be. This is a huge week.”

When you are talking about Las Vegas you can’t forget about the Busch brothers. This is their hometown and both of them love the track. Kyle won last year and he is the third choice this week behind Johnson and Mark Martin in NASCAR lines. Kyle won the pole last year and was dominant all weekend. He has four top-10s in six starts at Las Vegas. His brother Kurt is not getting much attention this week and could be an interesting longshot at 16-1.

Don’t forget about the Rousch cars in Las Vegas since they have won six of the twelve Cup races. Greg Biffle has not been among those winners so he could be due at odds of 13-1. Carl Edwards is 16-1 while Matt Kenseth is 18-1.

Dallas Mavericks vs Atlanta Hawks NBA Wagering Lines

steve — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:48:15 +0000

The Dallas Mavericks will try and extend their NBA wagering season high five-game winning streak on Friday in Atlanta in a game that can be seen on ESPN at 7:05pm ET. It will not be easy considering the Hawks are 18-8 this season against Western Conference teams including 10-1 at home. "Atlanta is a tough team," Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki said. "They beat us here last time. So we’ll see what happens. They’re very athletic; they really gave us trouble with their athleticism the last time." Atlanta has not swept the Mavericks in a season series in six years. The Hawks are 3 point NBA wagering lines favorites with a total of 195 at SBG Global Sportsbook.

Dallas has been a much better team since they got Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood from the Washington Wizards in a trade. They have held opponents to 43.6 percent shooting in the seven NBA wagering games since the trade. Even DeShawn Stevenson, who was also part of that trade, is contributing. He got his first start on Wednesday and shutdown Kobe Bryant in Dallas’ 101-96 win over the Lakers. "We’ve been playing pretty good defense with the new guys," guard Jason Kidd said. "This was another example where our shots weren’t going down, but we relied on our defense and got some stops." Caron Butler did not play in that game due to illness. "I am really proud of the guys how they battled without Caron," said Nowitzki, “Hopefully, we can get him back soon."

Atlanta has won six of their last seven at home. Josh Smith had 27 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in their win over Minnesota on Wednesday. "He was all over the place," coach Mike Woodson said. "He blocked some shots. He scored for us, made some free throws. He was solid from beginning to end, and we’re going to need him the rest of the way."

The Hawks got 31 points from Joe Johnson in their win over Dallas back in December. Nowitzki led Dallas with 32 points. Even though Dallas is playing better lately, their overall sports wagering lines trends are still poor. They are 6-16 ATS in their last 22 games overall and they are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 vs. the Southeast. The Mavericks are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Atlanta. The Under is 11-5 in the Mavericks last 16 vs. the Southeast. The Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between the two teams.
