NBA opening night between Dallas Mavericks and the San Antonio Spurs

Texas Title Contenders Define Life in Southwest

Say what you want about which city produces the best basketball
talent, but there’s no denying that Texas is the most powerful state. In
addition to the reigning champion San Antonio Spurs, the Lone Star
state serves as home to three of the seven top teams on the NBA
Championship futures.

Not surprisingly, the Spurs lead the Southwest Division; they’re -140
to finish first of the five southwest teams. San Antonio is 4/1 to win
the NBA championship outright.


We’ve talked at length about the Spurs’ chances of defending their
title before, so now let’s focus on the Dwight Howard in Houston
experiment. He and James Harden make up one of the most devastating duos
in professional sports, but Harden’s 25.4 PPG and Howard’s 12.2 RPG
won’t translate into success if they’re not careful against their
rivals. The Houston Rockets are 16/1 to win the title.


The Mavericks won the title in 2011 and will welcome Tyson Chandler
back to their veteran mix. He, plus former Rocket Chandler Parsons will
look to partner with veteran Dirk Nowitzki for one last legitimate push.
The Dallas Mavericks are 18/1 to win the championship.


We don’t envy teams as they hit the road for their trips to Texas.
Imagine how exhausting the 2014-2015 campaign will be for Southwest
Division rivals New Orleans and Memphis.

Texas Title Contenders Define Life in Southwest

Heat and Spurs in Mix for 2015, but Futures Remain Uncertain

The Miami Heat qualified for their fourth consecutive finals
appearance before bursting into flames. The San Antonio Spurs rallied
after a tragic exit in 2013 only to cap off a 15-year-long fairy tale in
2014. But what happens now? Fans looking to bet on the NBA in 2014-2015
need to start thinking about what comes next.


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


The runner-up, Miami Heat, tops the sportsbook with odds of 7/2 to
win the NBA Championship, just days after the 2014 champion crowning.
LeBron James can opt out of his contract this summer, but that doesn’t
necessarily mean that he will.


Could LeBron possibly improve his current situation in Miami? Oddsmakers aren’t so sure.


Tim Duncan and the Spurs are at a pivotal juncture. It’s widely
expected that the 38-year-old man will strongly consider retirement.
Will the fifth ring be the deciding factor? From a skills and health
perspective, he certainly doesn’t have to retire, making the decision
all the more difficult.


The Oklahoma City Thunder (6/1) and the Chicago Bulls (9/1) are
joining the Heat and Spurs as early contenders for the next title. We
like the idea of a victorious Kevin Durant, but will need more
convincing before hopping back on the Derrick Rose bandwagon.


That’s where you come in. Weigh in on the 2014-2015 campaign early.

The Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs will both be trying to pick up a win on Sunday when they battle at AT&T Center.

In their last action, San Antonio was a 107-86 winner on the road
against the Heat. They covered the +5-point spread as underdogs, while

BetAnySports’ NBA Finals Pick of the Week: San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat Game 3

San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat Game 3- Tuesday, June 10


BetAnySports’ Line: Heat -4 1/2 and the Total sits at 197


After these two NBA powers split a pair of games at AT&T Center
to kick-off this year’s rematch in the NBA Finals, the San Antonio Spurs
and the Miami Heat will be at it again this Tuesday night at
AmericanAirlines Arena for Game 3 of this epic best-of-seven clash.
BetAnySports has opened the Heat as four-point favorites to take the 2-1
series edge and the total for this game has been set at 198.


San Antonio was firing on all cylinders in its 110-95 win in Game 1
as a 5.5-point home favorite, especially in the fourth quarter of that
contest with 36 points. That number was almost cut in half in this past
Sunday’s 98-96 loss as a four-point favorite at home on BetAnySports’
closing betting line. The Spurs shot just 43.9 percent from the field in
that loss after lighting things up with a 58.8 shooting percentage in
Game 1.


Tony Parker leads the team in scoring with 17.5 points per game in
this year’s playoffs and he scored a team-high 21 points in Sunday’s
loss. The Spurs are averaging 106.2 PPG in 20 previous postseason games
while shooting 48.5 percent from the field. They are 6-3 both
straight-up and against the spread in their last nine games and the
total has stayed UNDER in seven of their last 10 contests.


LeBron James caught some major flack for bowing out early in Game 1
with severe leg cramps as the temperature on court exceeded 90 degrees
in light of an air-conditioning failure at the AT&T Center. He
responded in typical fashion by putting up a game-high 35 points while
pulling down 10 rebounds in Sunday’s win. He leads the Heat in points
(27.5), rebounds (6.9) and assists (4.8) in 17 playoff games this year
and his performance on the court from here on in will clearly dictate
whether or not Miami wins its third-straight NBA title.


The Heat are 5-2 both SU and ATS in their last seven games, but when
you narrow things down to their last four playoff games, they are just
2-2 both ways. Sunday’s win improved their record to a perfect 4-0 SU
and ATS in their last four playoff games following a SU loss. The
concern for Tuesday’s game is a 2-5 mark ATS in their last seven game
following a SU win.


Bank on this trend holding true for Game 3. The Heat may still get
the SU win on their home court, but I am taking the Spurs and the 4 1/2
points on BetAnySports’ current NBA betting odds for this game.

BetAnySports’ NBA Finals Pick of the Week: San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat Game 3

NBA Betting: Unlikely Underdog Heat Hit the Road in Finals

After a pair of Conference Finals series that matched those from last
year, basketball fans are in for a rematch of the 2013 NBA Finals as
well. Will the déjà vu give those betting on the NBA an advantage when
they’re picking their winner? The San Antonio Spurs are another year
older, sure, but then again so are the Miami Heat.


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


In case you haven’t noticed by now, although San Antonio is
constantly written off as too old to contend, they have a tendency to
defy all expectations time and time again. In fact, the experience seems
to have only made them stronger.


According to oddsmakers, despite Miami’s back-to-back titles, the
Spurs are favored to win in 2014 with -125 odds. Have Tim Duncan and the
gang actually improved from the last few seasons? And on that note,
which direction are the Heat trending?


As +105 underdogs, the Heat suddenly have Dwyane Wade’s age to think
about, and the sheer workload of LeBron James. Suddenly San Antonio’s
longevity doesn’t seem to be as much of a factor.


Also favored with a -3.5 spread for Game 1 – scheduled for Thursday –
the time is now for the Spurs to act in the twilight of their stars’
career. Might a championship mark the end of an era for Duncan and the
gang?

NBA Betting: Unlikely Underdog Heat Hit the Road in Finals

BetAnySports’ NBA Playoffs Pick of the Week: Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs Game 1- Thursday, June 5

Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs Game 1- Thursday, June 5


BetAnySports’ Line: Spurs -4 and the Total is 198 1/2


The Miami Heat begin their quest for a third-straight NBA title this
Thursday night against the San Antonio Spurs in a rematch of last
season’s NBA Finals. All the action from the AT&T Center in San
Antonio is slated to get underway at 9 p.m. and the game will be
broadcast nationally on ABC.


The Heat took a fairly short route back to the NBA Finals with a
straight-up record of 12-3 in their first three series against
Charlotte, Brooklyn and Indiana. They have been a solid bet along the
way with a 10-5 record against the spread on BetAnySports’ closing NBA
betting odds for the games. The total went OVER in 11 of the 15 outings.


LeBron James has played like a man possessed in a few of his team’s
dominate victories in the postseason and he leads the team across the
board in points (27.1), rebounds (6.8) and assists (5.0). Dwyane Wade
has been able to stay healthy enough to add another 18.7 points per game
and to round-out the Big Three in Miami, Chris Bosh is scoring 15.2 PPG
and pulling down 5.7 rebounds a game. The Heat are averaging 99.1 PPG
while hitting 49.7 percent of their shots from the field and 39.5
percent from 3-point range.


San Antonio took a slightly longer route to its second straight
appearance in the NBA Finals with a 12-6 SU record in 18 previous
postseason games. It has not been a solid bet at times with a 9-9 record
ATS and the total has gone OVER in 10 of those 18 games. BetAnySports
has opened the Spurs as -130 favorites to win this series with Heat
listed as +110 underdogs, but holding onto that all-important home court
advantage has to start with a win on Thursday night.


Tony Parker has been the Spurs leading scorer in the playoffs with
17.2 PPG, but he is dealing with a sore left ankle that could cost him
some playing time not just in Game 1, but in the entire series if the
pain persists. Tim Duncan continues to be a force in the postseason with
16.5 points and a team-high 8.9 rebounds while Manu Ginobili has been
instrumental in the team’s success with 14.3 points off the bench. San
Antonio is averaging 106.6 PPG while shooting 48.2 percent from the
field and 39.2 percent from beyond the arc.


I see this series going the full seven games just like last season,
but as far as Game 1 goes I am taking the Heat and the 4 points on
BetAnySports’ current betting line. Miami may not get the SU win, but
this one is going down to the wire either way.

BetAnySports’ NBA Playoffs Pick of the Week: Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs Game 1- Thursday, June 5

BetAnySports’ NBA Playoffs Pick of the Week: San Antonio Spurs vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Game 4- Tuesday, May 27

San Antonio Spurs vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Game 4- Tuesday, May 27


BetAnySports’ Current Line: Thunder -2 1/2 and the Total is 207


The San Antonio Spurs will look to bounce back from a bad loss in
their best-of-seven NBA Western Conference Finals matchup against the
Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 4 this Tuesday night at Chesapeake Energy
Arena. Tip-off is set for 9 p.m. (ET) and the game will be available on
TNT.


The Spurs looked unstoppable in the first two games of this series
with a pair of victories by a combined 52 points, but after trailing by
as many as 20 points in the closing minutes of Game 3, they came back
down to earth in a 106-97 loss as 2.5-point road underdogs on
BetAnySports’ closing NBA betting odds. They are now 7-2 straight-up in
their last nine games with a 6-3 record against the spread. The total
stayed UNDER the 208-point closing line in Game 3 and it has now stayed
UNDER in four of their last five games.


Tony Parker has been San Antonio’s leading scorer throughout these
playoffs with 19.1 points per game, but he only registered nine points
on Sunday night after going just 4-for-13 from the field. The team as a
whole has been hitting 50 percent of its shots from the field in the
postseason, but this number dropped to 39.6 percent in Sunday’s loss.
Manu Ginobili led the team in scoring in that losing effort with 23
points off the bench and Tim Duncan added 16 points and eight rebounds.


The Thunder are now 7-3 SU in their last 10 playoff games with a 6-4
record ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in six of their last eight games.
This was just the second time in their last 10 outings that they scored
more than 100 points and it was just the second time in that same
stretch that they held their opponent below the 100-point mark.


The biggest difference for Oklahoma City between the first two games
of this series and Sunday’s win was the unexpected return of Serge Ibaka
to the starting lineup. He was not supposed to play this entire series
with a serious calf injury, but that did not stop him from putting up 15
points to help pace the win. His biggest effect was on the other end of
the court on defense. The Thunder completely controlled the boards with
52 rebounds verse the Spurs’ 36. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook
combined for 51 points in Sunday’s win.


Home court should continue to have a heavy influence on this series
starting with another SU win by the slightly favored Thunder on Tuesday
night that covers BetAnySports current 2.5-point betting line for this game.

BetAnySports’ NBA Playoffs Pick of the Week: San Antonio Spurs vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Game 4- Tuesday, May 27

NBA Odds: Spurs Eye Redemption, Second Consecutive West Crown

Still reeling from their tragic collapse down the stretch in Game 6
of last year’s NBA Finals, the San Antonio Spurs are hell-bent on
getting back and righting their wrongs. On Wednesday, Tim Duncan and
company will look to take a two-game lead over Kevin Durant and the
Oklahoma City Thunder.


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


With their slight lead in the Western Conference Finals and their 5/4
odds of winning the NBA championship, the Spurs are league favorites in
the sportsbook. The veteran club’s display of poise in Game 1, coupled
with Miami’s unexpected loss to Indiana in Game 1 of the Eastern
Conference Finals, have fans and critics reconsidering the San Antonio
team whose window many thought had closed for good this time.


Trailing in the series, OKC has 13/2 odds on the NBA Futures, not bad
for a perennial contender with the league?s MVP on roster. Can Kevin
Durant and Russell Westbrook find a way to keep the Thunder in the
series and return to the Finals? Let’s not forget that it was Oklahoma
City who fell to Miami in the Finals in 2012 before San Antonio fell in
2013.


Get an idea of what to expect in the West – and whether or not either
of these squads could beat the Heat when push comes to shove – at Game 2
this Wednesday.

BetAnySports’ NBA Playoffs Pick of the Week

Portland Trail Blazers vs. San Antonio Spurs- Tuesday, May 6


BetAnySports’ Line: San Antonio -6 1/2 and the Total is 207


The final matchup in this year’s NBA Conference Semifinals gets
underway this Tuesday night when the No. 5 Portland Trail Blazers go on
the road to face the No. 1 San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of this
best-of-seven series. The game is set to get underway at 9:30 p.m. (ET)
and it will be broadcast nationally on TNT.


This will be the second series that Portland starts as an underdog
after its stunning 4-2 victory over Houston in the opening round. The
Trail Blazers started fast and hot against the favored Rockets by
winning three of the first four games straight-up (2-1-1 against the
spread) before closing things out with a 99-98 Game 6 thriller as
four-point home favorites. They did fail to cover in those final two
games and the total stayed UNDER in both.


To get out of the gate quick against the West’s top seed, Portland
will need another strong effort from LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian
Lillard. Aldridge led the team in scoring (29.8 points) and he pulled
down a team-high 11.2 rebounds over the six games against Houston.
Lillard was second in points with 25.5 and he led the team in assists
with 6.7 a game. The Trail Blazers shot 45.4 percent from the field and
36.4 percent from 3-point range while pulling down 42.7 rebounds a game.


The Spurs needed all seven games to get by Southwest Division foe
Dallas to advance to this round including a lopsided 119-96 victory in
this past Sunday?s Game 7 as seven-point home favorites. It was the only
game that San Antonio covered the spread in this series and it was
favored in all seven outings. The total went OVER the 197.5-point
closing line on BetAnySports and overall it has gone OVER in five of the
seven games.


The veteran leadership on this team stepped up its game when it had
to against the Mavericks so look to the likes of Tony Parker, Tim Duncan
and Manu Ginobili to try and gain the edge in this series with a win on
Tuesday night. Parker dealt with a sore ankle down the stretch but
still led the team with 19.9 points per game. Ginobili came off the
bench to average 17.7 PPG and Duncan added 17.3 points and 8.4 rebounds
in the winning effort. The Spurs averaged 103.1 points against Dallas
while shooting 49.7 percent from the field.


Portland comes into this matchup as a six-point road underdog on BetAnySports’
NBA betting line and the total has been set at 206. I think the road
team has a decent shot at covering on Tuesday night, but my top pick in
this one is the OVER on the total line.

 Winners of 18 straight games, the Spurs may sit some players tonight to
prepare for their next game vs Oklahoma City. We are unsure how serious
the San Antonio team will be tonight playing a Golden State team who
comes in off a big victory last night at the buzzer. The Warriors are
just 2.5 games from being out of playoff seeding so tonight's game is
important to them even being a back2back.



The Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs will both be gunning
for a victory on Wednesday when they meet at AT&T Center.



Oddsmakers currently have the Spurs listed as 9½-point favorites versus the Warriors, while the game's total is sitting at 202.



Golden State won its last outing, a 122-120 result against the Mavericks
on April 1. The Warriors covered in that game as a 4.5-point underdog,
while the 242 combined points took the game OVER the total.



Last time out for San Antonio, they were a 103-77 winner as they battled
the Pacers on the road. The Spurs covered in the match as a 4.5-point
favorite, while 180 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals
bettors.
