Wednesday's Best NBA Bets
By Covers.com
Minnesota Timberwolves at Dallas Mavericks (-6, 184)
The Mavericks figured that if they had to be without Dirk Nowitzki for a while, it might as well be sooner rather than later.
He has sat out the two games to work on his conditioning and help is sore right knee heal. He is expect to sit out at least a couple more games and Dallas is surviving without him for now. The Mavs dropped the Hornets 83-81 as 3.5-point favorites in his first absence and then covered as 5-point favorites in a win over Phoenix.
Shawn Marion scored 29 points to lead Dallas to its latest win and is averaging 19.3 points over his last four games.
“Shawn was great,” Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle told reporters. “A lot of plays he made were very timely. ... We needed someone to step up.”
We like Dallas to keep its streak going.
Pick: Mavericks
New Orleans Hornets at Oklahoma City Thunder (-13, 183.5)
When you’ve lost eight straight games, it’s hard to stay optimistic.
“It’s extremely frustrating,” New Orleans guard Jarrett Jack told reporters after Monday’s 104-102 loss to San Antonio. “The good part is that we gave ourselves a chance. That’s all that you can really ask for in this league. It just comes down to making plays.”
The Hornets still aren’t making plays, but at least they’re keeping it close lately. Monday’s loss was the third straight game that they had covered the number as the improved to 8-9 against the spread on the year.
With the Thunder’s offense that produces better than 99 points per game, they usually have no problem covering fat pointspreads. But the better play here might be the under.
Each of the last six meetings between these two teams have checked in below the total.
Pick: Under
Wednesday Tips
By Kevin Rogers
VegasInsider.com
The Wednesday NBA card is filled with 13 games for bettors to wager on, including three matchups with both teams owning winning records. The Lakers and Clippers renew acquaintances in the late game at Staples Center, as the Purple and Gold look to halt a three-game losing skid. We'll begin with another division battle in the Windy City as Indiana tries to slow down Chicago in a playoff rematch.
Pacers at Bulls
Chicago is rolling right now with a perfect 8-0 mark at the United Center, as the Bulls welcome in the surprising Pacers. Indiana has jumped out to an 11-4 record after qualifying as the eighth seed last season before getting eliminated by Chicago in the first round of the playoffs. Now, the Pacers try to prove that this start isn't a fluke by attempting to end a nine-game losing streak in Chicago that dates back to November 2008.
The Bulls got reining MVP Derrick Rose back in the lineup for Monday's 110-95 victory over the Nets, while cashing as 13½-point favorites. Rose missed five games with a toe injury, as Chicago put together a 4-1 SU and 3-2 ATS mark in that span. The Bulls own a 5-3 ATS record at the United Center, as Chicago is listed as a home favorite of less than nine points for just the second time this season.
Indiana has been used to playing away from Conseco Fieldhouse this season after taking the court at home only six times. The Pacers hit the hardwood in Chicago for their 11th away contest, while going 6-4 SU and 5-5 ATS on the highway. The last time Frank Vogel's team played on the road, the Pacers rallied past the Lakers on Sunday night, 98-96 to cash as 5 ½-point underdogs.
The Bulls claimed seven of nine meetings last season, including a 4-1 mark in the first-round elimination of the Pacers. Indiana managed a pair of covers as double-digit 'dogs in the first two games of the playoffs, but lost by 27 in the elimination contest as 8½-point 'dogs.
Hawks at Spurs
San Antonio returns home for just one game before hitting the road for three more contests as the Spurs welcome in the Hawks. Atlanta is rolling with wins in nine of their last 11, while coming off a 97-92 triumph at Milwaukee on Monday as short 'chalk.' Now, the Hawks look to break a 13-game jinx at San Antonio, dating back to the Christian Laettner days in 1997.
Atlanta has cleaned up against lower-tier competition by beating New Jersey three times, Charlotte twice, Cleveland, Minnesota, Washington, and Toronto to account for nine of its 13 victories. The Hawks continue a five-game road trip, while trying to improve on a 2-3 ATS record as an away underdog. Two of those losses came by double-digits in defeats at Indiana and Philadelphia, while scoring 29 second-half points in a 90-76 loss to the Sixers last Friday.
San Antonio suffered its first home loss of the season in a shocking 88-86 setback to Sacramento as 10½-point favorites last Friday. The Spurs dropped a three-point decision the next night in Houston as Tim Duncan rested on the second end of the back-to-back, but covered as 4½-point 'dogs. Gregg Popovich's squad struggled in Monday's two-point win over the horrible Hornets, failing to cash as four-point 'chalk.' Following a 3-1 ATS start, the Spurs are just 5-9 ATS the last 14 games, but are 4-1 ATS as a home favorite of five points or less.
Clippers at Lakers
Southern California bragging rights are on the line once again when these two city rivals meet up at Staples Center. The Lakers have turned into pointspread poison of late with six consecutive ATS losses, while failing to win each of their last three games. The court will be purple and gold this time around against a Clippers' team that tripped up the Lakers on January 14 as 2½-point home favorites, 102-94.
Chris Paul is listed as 'questionable' for Wednesday's contest with a hamstring injury that has cost him the last five games (3-2 SU/ATS). The Clippers have done very little traveling through the first month with just four road games, with the furthest trip going to San Antonio the second game of the season. Los Angeles has failed to cover in all three opportunities as an away underdog, while allowing at least 100 points in each defeat.
The offense is slowly fading for the Lakers, who have failed to break the 100-point plateau in all but one game. The 'under' has turned into a solid play for Mike Brown's club, cashing in 13 of 18 games, including an 8-3 mark at home. Dating back to last January, the Lakers are just 10-18 ATS as a home favorite in the regular season, including three consecutive non-covers at Staples.
