NBA Tuesday Preview & Free Pick- Miami Heat at Detroit Pistons - Handicappers Hideaway

The Miami Heat and the Detroit Pistons clash for the second Tuesday in a row and this time around BetAnySports
has opened the Pistons as three-point home favorites. This follows the
Heat’s 107-89 victory last Tuesday as 4.5-point home favorites. The
total stayed UNDER the closing 202-point line in that game and it has
been set at 205.5 points this time around . After overnight betting the
line now sits at Detroit -2 against the spread and the total is sitting
at 201. Tip-off from the Palace for this Tuesday’s rematch is set for
7:30 p.m.



The Heat are still battling Atlanta and Boston for the No. 3 seed in the
East with two games left to play in the regular season. Including last
week’s win against the Pistons, Miami is 3-1 both straight-up and
against the spread in its last four games and the total has stayed UNDER
BetAnySports’ closing line in six of its last nine contests. The Heat
will have to finish things up on the road where they are 19-20 both SU
and ATS this season.



Hassan Whiteside returned to Miami’s starting lineup in the team’s
118-96 victory against Orlando on Sunday as a 9.5-point favorites and he
made an immediate impact with 18 points and 15 rebounds. Dwyane Wade
added 17 points in the winning cause with four of five Miami starters
accounting for 74 of the total 118 points scored. The Heat are ranked 23^rd in the NBA in scoring with 100.2 points per game, but they jump to fifth in points allowed (98.5).



Detroit will be making its first trip to the playoffs since the
2008/2009 season after clinching a berth with last Friday’s 112-99
victory against Washington as a six-point home favorite on BetAnySports’
closing line. The Pistons have now won nine of their last 12 games SU
and they are 3-1 ATS in their last four contests. The total has gone
OVER in their last two games after staying UNDER in their previous four
outings.



Reggie Jackson is one of the main reasons why Detroit is finally headed
back to the postseason. He put-up 39 points in Friday’s win over the
Wizards and on the year he is averaging a team-high 18.8 PPG. The
Pistons are averaging 101.9 points a game and they climb all the way to
third in the NBA in rebounds with 46.3 a game. Defensively, they are
allowing an average of 101.3 PPG.



While there is still something on the line for both teams in this
contest, I like Detroit’s chances to avenge last Tuesday’s loss with a
SU win on its home court this time around that also covers BetAnySports’ current two-point betting line.

NBA Preview: Chicago Bulls (7-3) vs. Los Angeles Clippers (5-3)

NBA Betting: Emerging Raptors Use Bulls as Eastern Conference Measuring Stick

The Toronto Raptors have battled their way to relevance throughout
the NBA betting community these past few years. They now find themselves
on the precipice of an elite tier of basketball clubs. In order to
continue their ascent, they’ll need to beat other teams who’ve already
been there.

The Raptors will face Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls this
Thursday. The game will give Toronto an opportunity to prove that their
hot start is no fluke. A solid 2013-2014 season put the franchise on the
map, but a pedestrian showing against No. 6 Brooklyn Nets cost them a
chance to deal damage last postseason.


With DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry back in town leading the show, the
former averaging 22.7 and the latter 17.9 points per game, Toronto is
imposing from many angles. Their early 6-1 mark in the Atlantic Division
is proof of that.


Still, despite the highly intriguing backcourt, successful previous
season and relatively weak division, the Raptors are only 25/1 to win
the NBA Championship. A big win over Central Division force Chicago (6/1
third favorite to win championship) will prove that the team is capable
of taking the next step.

NBA Betting: Emerging Raptors Use Bulls as Eastern Conference Measuring Stick

Rose’s Health Crucial to Chicago’s Title Odds

Anybody with a firm grasp of how the 2014-2015 NBA season might play
out has the answer to the Derrick Rose question. If the Chicago Bulls
point guard can pick up where he left off at the end of the 2010-2011
season, the Bulls could become title favorites. They’re 11/2 to win the
NBA Championship as we go to press.

If Rose comes up limping once again, as he’s done after his previous
comeback attempts, then the squad will look considerably more mortal,
and Chicago will be among the favorites in the Eastern Conference but
relatively toothless compared to a team like Cleveland.



The reason is simple. Without Rose, the Bulls are a well-rounded and
formidable defensive threat. With him, and especially with the 25 and 8
MVP version of him, the team’s a well-oiled machine capable of
contending for the title.



Rose managed to survive his summer obligations with Team USA despite
looking sore and banged up on occasion. However, the guard has started
to regain some of his superstar form.



A healthy Rose may not guarantee Chicago’s championship parade, but it
could be the difference between the Bulls serving as noble underdogs and
the Bulls being a legitimate championship favorite.

Rose’s Health Crucial to Chicago’s Title Odds

NBA Odds: Rose and Gasol Put Bulls Back in Title Conversation

Derrick Rose’s injury history concerns anybody looking to wager on
the NBA this season. Rose’s Chicago Bulls are not only among the
favorites to win the title, but the team could be the best they’ve been
since the days of Michael Jordan. Consider their 11/2 odds to win the
NBA Championship a good indication of how far they can make it.



Bet on basketball at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.



The Bulls have a well-rounded roster that includes MVP candidate Joakim
Noah and superstar Derrick Rose. Rose has been limited to 49 games over
the course of the past three seasons.The last time Rose played a full
season, the Bulls were the No. 1 seed in the east and Rose won league
MVP. At that time, Noah hadn’t established himself as an All-Star, and
the team didn’t have Pau Gasol (or Jimmy Butler or Nikola Mirotic or
Doug McDermott, etc.)



Fresh off of a stint with the Lakers where he won a pair of titles,
Gasol will join Chicago’s front court with the knowhow to improve upon
their postseason performance. The Bulls made the playoffs in each of the
past six seasons but have only made it out of the first round twice.



Despite finishing with 48 wins in 2013-2014, Chicago was just 41-40-1
against the spread. If Rose can stay healthy for close to 82 games and
the rest of the unit gels, the Bulls should defy expectations.

NBA Playoffs Pick of the Week: Washington Wizards vs. Chicago Bulls — Tuesday, April 22

The Washington Wizards started the NBA Playoffs as the fifth seed in
the Eastern Conference and 4.5-point underdogs in this past Sunday’s
best-of-seven conference quarterfinal opener against the No. 4 Chicago
Bulls. After stunning the Bulls 102-93 in that game, they are now listed
by BetAnySports as 5.5-point road underdogs for Tuesday night’s Game 2 with the total
set at 181.5. Tip-off for this contest is set for 9:30 p.m. and the game
will be broadcast nationally from the United Center on TNT.


The Wizards finished four games behind Chicago in the standings and
they built up some momentum for this matchup by winning their final four
regular season games both straight-up and against the spread. The total
went OVER BetAnySports’ closing 178.5-point line in Game 1 and it has
now gone OVER in Washington’s last three contests.


The hot hand for the Wizards in Sunday’s nine-point victory was Nene
Hilario with 24 points while going 11-for-17 from the field. Marcin
Gortat added 15 points and a game-high 13 rebounds in the winning
effort. Washington shot 48.6 percent from the floor and it outrebounded
Chicago 45-39. All five starters in Saturday’s game scored in double
figures and Andre Miller added another 10 points off the bench.


The most stunning aspect of the Bulls’ loss in Game 1 was the fact
that their vaunted defense allowed 102 points after ranking first in the
NBA this season in points allowed (91.8). This was just the second time
in their last 10 games that the opposing team reached the century mark
against this team. Chicago went 8-2 SU in its final 10 regular season
games with a 6-3-1 record ATS. The total has now gone OVER in four of
its last five outings.


To avoid falling into a dreaded 0-2 hole with the next two games of
this series on the road, the Bulls will need to do a much better job
shooting the ball, especially from outside the perimeter. They hit 42
percent of their attempts from the field and when it came to shooting
the ball from 3-point range, they converted on just 5-of 20 attempts.
All five of Chicago’s starters ended the night in double figures and DJ
Augustin and Taj Gibson combined for 28 points off the bench. Joakim
Noah scored 10 points and he led the team in both rebounds (10) and
assists (4).


This matchup is a perfect opportunity to take the home team and lay
the points as the Bulls bounce back in a big way on Tuesday night to
even this series at one game apiece.

NBA Betting Preview - Chicago Bulls (42-32) vs. Atlanta Hawks (32-41)

NBA Betting Online – No Bull for Chicago Defense and Playoff Run

No Bull for Chicago Defense and Playoff Run

The Chicago Bulls were coming off a season in which the made the
second round of the playoffs despite missing PG Derrick Rose for the
entire season and were looking forward to making a deeper run with Rose
on board but he was again injured for the entire season after just a few
games which has again forced the Chicago Bulls to rely on defense for
success both on the hardwood and at the betting window. The Bulls may
not be the most exciting team to watch but nobody works harder as
evidenced by their hard fought playoff series with the Miami Heat last
year in which they may have lost but left it all on the floor and made
Miami earn each of their wins.

Team Extreme

The Bulls were a favorite NBA Betting commodity for “undertakers” as they ranked last for scoring offense and best for scoring defense.

Coming Up

The Chicago Bulls will host the Portland Trailblazers on Friday,
March 28 before a home and home series with the Boston Celtics as they
will be at Boston on Sunday, March 30th and then host the Celtics on
Monday, March 31st before hitting the road for a game at the Atlanta
Hawks on Wednesday, April 2.

Handicapper’s Notebook

The Chicago Bulls have seen their home value increase considerably
after struggling for the first 3 months of the season as they have paid
out in 10 out of their last 14 games at home with 4 out of their last 7
home games going under the total. As good as they have been at home
recently, the Bulls have been a strong road value for the long term and
have 14 payouts in their last 20 away tilts with 5 out of their last 9
away games going over the total. The Bulls have also shown increased
value as a favorite with an even 5-5 split on over under totals in their
last 10 games as a favorite. The Bulls have come away with the money in
10 out of their last 14 games as a dog with 14 out of their last 20
games as a dog going under the total.

NBA Odds: Resilient Bulls Host Rockets in Battle of Contenders

The Chicago Bulls have been forced to play without their star player so long that it’s not unreasonable to think that they’ve actually learned to live without him. Such is the case for this year’s squad, but also last year’s as well. A legitimate force in the East with or without Derrick Rose, it’s time we start considering this team as a serious NBA betting option.

This Thursday the Bulls will play host to Dwight Howard and the Houston Rockets. The Western Conference visitor is a force to be reckoned with in its own division, but a solid gauging tool for a team like the Bulls to measure just what they’re capable of.

This year’s Bulls team has seen big man Joakim Noah rise to new heights, but more valuable than any individual progression has been their cohesion as a team. That may not make them the most marketable team in the league, but it makes serious sports fans and wagerers think twice about their 40/1 odds of winning the NBA championship.

Throughout the 2013-14 campaign, the Bulls have stayed competitive enough in their conference that home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs is within reach. If Chicago knocks around the Howard and the Rockets in primetime will everybody else finally start taking notice?
