Jeremy Lin Collides With LeBron James on NBA Betting Line

The NBA Hype Machine is bound to explode this Thursday as the Miami Heat look to play host to the red-hot and wildly impressive New York Knicks. Can LeBron James and company make short work of Jeremy Lin on the NBA betting line? That's where you come in.

Place sweetheart teasers on NBA basketball and score a $25 Free Bet. Need to learn more about sweetheart teasers first? Head over to Bovada's online sportsbook now.

Although the Knicks have risen rapidly up the standings and Bovada's list of NBA futures, the Heat remain the team to beat and for good reason. Not only does Miami have the top record in the Eastern Conference heading into the clash, they sit first in the league with 3/2 odds of winning the championship.

The Knicks, though markedly improved from what they once were, are just 18/1.

Can the Linsanity continue in Miami? Not only do the Heat present more than intimidating competition, Carmelo Anthony is also back on board, healthy and ready to reclaim top dog status. Will Anthony look to steal the show to impress his pals from the 2003 NBA Draft class?

Over the course of the past few weeks we've seen Lin establish himself as an overnight sensation, knocking down game-winning jumpers and taking over games despite increased coverage. He's already beaten Kobe Bryant for gawdsakes. Is a victory over Miami the natural progression? If so, what happens to the NBA odds?
