The NBA delighted sports betting fans again with a series of games that featured plenty of action, drama and heated moments.
Those who bet with Asian Handicap betting have more reasons to celebrate as well, with nine of the 11 games ending with double-digit leads. The Utah Jazz even surprised betting websites with a 47-point blowout of the Washington Wizards!
Orlando Magic 94-104 Charlotte Hornets
Orlando managed to cut Charlotte’s lead to just one at the end of the third quarter, but an 11-2 run at the start of the final frame allowed the Hornets to get some breathing space and ensure the victory. Kemba Walker led the home team with 29 points, while the Magic had Evan Fournier as the highest scorer with 18.
New York Knicks 97-115 Indiana Pacers
The Knicks’ road woes continue as they fall to the Pacers. New York trailed by as much as 38 points in the game and never really threatened as Indiana romped to victory behind Thaddeus Young’s 20 points and Darren Collison’s double-double of 10 points and 10 assists.
Phoenix Suns 115-101 Philadelphia 76ers
Devin Booker exploded for 46 points to help the Suns upset the high-flying Sixers. TJ Warren, meanwhile, chipped in 25 as Phoenix took advantage of Philly’s struggles from the three-point territory to pull away in the second half.
Brooklyn Nets 110-90 Atlanta Hawks
Using a 31-15 third quarter, the Nets beat the Hawks to get their revenge. Six players scored in double figures for Brooklyn, with Caris LeVert coming off the bench to bank 17 points and pace the team against the cold-shooting Atlanta.
Milwaukee Bucks 100-111 Boston Celtics
Despite Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 40 points, Milwaukee still fell short against the C’s. Kyrie Irving was sensational for the Beantown team once again, scoring 14 of his 32 points in the third quarter. He also hit back-to-back shots with just a minute left on the clock to erase any hopes of a Bucks’ comeback.
Cleveland Cavaliers 113-91 Chicago Bulls
Dwyane Wade appears to be thriving off the bench, and it was evident with his 24-point outing against his hometown team. Kevin Love and LeBron James also combined for 47 points as the Cavs’ Big 3 punished the Bulls with an efficient performance.
Minnesota Timberwolves 92-95 Memphis Grizzlies
Memphis finally snapped their 11-game losing streak at the expense of the inconsistent Wolves. Marc Gasol proved pivotal in the match as he made 21 points, including the crucial dunk with three minutes left that gave them a three-point lead.
Jimmy Butler was the lone bright spot for Minnesota as the other starters failed to impact the game.
Golden State Warriors 125-115 New Orleans Pelicans
For a moment, it looked like New Orleans are on their way for the upset of the day. However, Golden State, as expected, showed why they are the best third-quarter team in the league.
The Death lineup combined for a total of 91 points to counter big games from the Pels’ Jrue Holiday and DeMarcus Cousins, though Steph Curry’s injury quite ruined the joy of the comeback victory.
Denver Nuggets 105-122 Dallas Mavericks
Denver finally felt the absence of Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap in their blowout loss to Dallas. Meanwhile, the Mavs—led by Harrison Barnes and rookie Dennis Smith Jr.—never trailed after getting a 16-point first quarter lead.
Detroit Pistons 93-96 San Antonio Spurs
Thanks to their 14-of-31 shooting from three, the Spurs managed to eke out a win against Detroit. The Pistons had Reggie Jackson dominating with 27 points, though the Spurs’ shooting and balanced scoring – with seven players reaching double digits — proved to be too much.
Washington Wizards 69-116 Utah Jazz
Otto Porter leading the Washington scoring with 14 points shows how much the Wizards struggled offensively. They finished on just 28.8 percent shooting from the field, while the Jazz took advantage of it to end the game with a 47-point advantage.
To give a clearer picture of what happened, Utah made 35 points in just the second quarter, five points more than Washington’s first-half total!
