Sixers in the Spotlight as NBA Betting Resumes

Nobody knows exactly what's been going on with the Philadelphia 76ers this season, but it's worked. Not only are they first in a half-decent Atlantic Division, they've hung with the Eastern Conference's best all year long. Now the success has started to translate over to the NBA betting line.

The biggest stars hit the hardwood.

Bet on the NBA at Bovada.

Have the first few months of the season been a legitimate demonstration of what the Sixers bring to the table? Though they squeezed into the playoffs last spring, the success they've enjoyed over the course of the 2011-12 campaign is something new.

This Tuesday, as players flock back to work after the All-Star Break, the Sixers will travel to Michigan for a run-in with the unpredictable Detroit Pistons. With 30/1 odds of winning the NBA championship - compared to Detroit's 500/1 mark - Philadelphia is the obvious favorite heading into the game, but that?s what makes the matchup so intriguing.

Not only is Detroit hard to gauge - they've beaten Orlando once and Boston twice, yet continue to sit in the basement - but the jury is still out on Philadelphia as a contender.

Though their record has pushed them to the top of their division, NBA odds makers and fans alike are reluctant to buy in to a club whose leading scorer averages just over 15 points per game.

Think you know how the future will unfold? Are the 76ers legit? Bet on the NBA with Bovada today.

Struggling Knicks Host Lakers in Marquee NBA Betting Matchup

Two of the hottest NBA markets will meet on the basketball betting line this Friday as the New York Knicks play host to the visiting Los Angeles Lakers at Madison Square Garden. More than just a celebrity socializer, however, the midseason tilt will shine a light on a pair of potential championship contenders.

Bet on the NBA at Bovada. Don't have an account? Join today - it's free.

Think Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire have the fortitude to hang with Kobe Bryant and not-so-distant-champion Lakers despite their slow start? If Los Angeles aims to cash in on the NBA betting line at least once more before Bryant's legs give out, they'll have to prove they can contend with talented younger opponents.

According to Bovada's NBA odds makers the Lakers are among a select few with a legitimate shot at claiming the Larry O?Brien trophy next June, but the Knicks aren't as far behind as they might hope.

With notable Harvard alum Jeremy Lin making headlines for his contributions in New York, a showcase against L.A.'s finest may serve to further the Knicks growing popularity.

More important than a growing fan base, however, is a team's ability to win ball games. Though the Knicks are a factor on the NBA betting line, they won't truly be considered dangerous until they can boost their record back above .500.

76ers Scale NBA Betting Line with Early Season Success

The Philadelphia 76ers have stormed out to a lead in the NBA's Atlantic Division this season, trailing only the Eastern Conference Finalist Chicago Bulls for the conference's top spot. With one of the most winnable divisions in basketball at their fingertips, but NBA odds against them, can they hold on?

Bet on the NBA at Bovada.

Don't have an account? Join today? it's FREE.

Although the 76ers have come up big over the course of the first two months of the regular season, they're a far cry from favorites on the NBA futures board. Odds makers at Bovada currently have the Sixers with just 25/1 odds of winning the championship.

The mark is far from negligible, but as they currently sit tied for the second best record in the league, it?s more than a little discouraging. Can the continually impressive core of Philly's offensive weapons continue to thrive while sharing the scoring load? An impressive eight players average more than nine points per game.

This Monday the 76ers will face a true test on the NBA betting lines. Sure they've demonstrated an ability to make short work of teams like Detroit and Washington, but this time they'll face the Los Angeles Lakers.

In what is a modern day recreation of the 2001 NBA Finals, the 76ers will look to reap the benefits of the regular season matchup in the form of momentum. It also wouldn?t hurt for them to build up their confidence against elite contenders if they plan on staying at the top of the pack.

NBA Playoffs- Philadelphia 76ers at Miami Heat

Pointspread: Miami -10.5

Over/Under: 186

The Philadelphia 76ers, fresh off their first win in this series, head back to South Beach this Wednesday night for Game 5 of their first round, best-of-seven Eastern Conference playoff matchup with the Miami Heat. Game time from the American Airlines Arena is set for 7 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on TNT.

Philadelphia has showed tremendous guts and determination in this series, but it has only resulted in one win against Heat in the first four games. This past Sunday it came away with an 86-82 victory as a 5 ½-point home underdog after closing out the game with a 10-0 run. The 76ers covered as a 10 ½-point road underdog in Game 1, but failed to cover the spread in games two and three.

Jrue Holiday leads Philadelphia in scoring with 15.3 points a game and Elton Brand has had a productive series with 14 points and nine rebounds a game. The biggest bonus for the Sixers has been their production off the bench with players like Thaddeus Young, Lou Williams, and Evan Turner each coming up big at various times in the first four games.

Miami has only one blowout in this series, a 94-73 win as a nine-point home favorite in Game 2 and has gotten off to slow starts in each of the other three games. It needed a late fourth quarter rally in last Thursday?s 100-94 victory as a 4 ½-point road favorite to take the 3-0 lead in this series.

The Heat continue to roll behind its Big Three. LeBron James leads the team in points with 26.3 and rebounds with 10.3 a game. Wade is second in scoring with 21.3 points and Chris Bosh has averaged 19.3 points and 8.5 rebounds over the four games. The Heat have outscored Philly by an average of eight points and have a +6.75 edge in rebounds.

Sixers? head coach Doug Collins will have his team ready for this game, but the disparity in talent between the two is just too great to overcome. Miami wraps things up tonight with the win, but stick with Philly to keep things close enough to cover with the 10 ½ points.
