I don’t think I’ve stressed it enough: the NBA has become a very entertaining watch for die-hards and casuals alike.
While most betting websites still look at the Cavs and the Warriors as the most probable teams to meet in June, there have been a couple of teams that are gaining steam. The Celtics, Rockets and Pacers are some of the squads that are gaining favourable betting odds from bookies.
Moreover, today’s games present interesting developments and storylines for the couch experts. I think sports betting fans have a lot of talking points to go over after today’s slew of games.
This season is a great time to be a pro-hoops fan!
Boston Celtics 85-108 Chicago Bulls
This loss doesn’t really have a significant impact on the Celtics over time, but it does show just how important Kyrie Irving has become for Boston. Meanwhile, Nikola Mirotic and Bobby Portis didn’t pull their punches and helped the Bulls to a win. The frontline duo was a 1-2 strike that caught the usually alert Celtic defence off-guard.
New Orleans Pelicans 123-130 Houston Rockets
This game was an unfortunate one for the Pelicans. They were ahead of the conference-leading Rockets for much of the game as Jrue Holiday and E’twaun Moore clocked in sensational numbers. James Harden and Chris Paul had to work extra in the final frame in order to just get over the visitors in the last moments.
Miami Heat 107-82 Memphis Grizzlies
Should Memphis blow it up?
Marc Gasol’s 19-point, 6-rebound outing for Memphis just wasn’t enough to compete with a Miami side that didn’t have Hassan Whiteside in the game. Even if Mike Conley was in the game, I’m not sure that they could have won this game cleanly.
The Grizzlies front office should consider their options quickly before they get stuck in a bad situation.
Charlotte Hornets 116-103 Oklahoma City Thunder
Hurricanes of problem continue to strike Oklahoma City as they fall to the Hornets.
Charlotte swarmed them with points from all over the floor while Russell Westbrook and company struggle to strike efficiently at the hoop. Carmelo Anthony is the most notable disappointment for OKC after scoring only 11 points during his 34 minutes of floor time.
Portland Trail Blazers 104-111 Golden State Warriors
Damian Lillard played superstar basketball for the Blazers, scoring 39 points on 28 shot attempts. However, his heroics just weren’t enough to overcome the Warriors. Kevin Durant led a well-oiled Dub Machine that ran away with the game since the second quarter.
Toronto Raptors 91-96 LA Clippers
Few thought that the Clippers would be able to as so much prick the Raptors without Blake Griffin, but brilliant team play saved the day.
Six players shared the scoring load as LA fought back against the superb performances of Toronto’s starters. Milos Teodosic also made his return to the team after his injury early in the season. With this win, Doc Rivers can build more confidence and help his team gel even more.
