New York Knicks Vs Boston Celtics NBA Live odds at our Sportsbook Online with the full coverage of Basketball Betting

The Celtics are 32-12 with their regular starting five, which they have had available once in two wins over New York (24-43). The Knicks have been competitive, falling 107-105 in overtime Nov. 22 at Madison Square Garden and 110-106 on Feb. 23 in their sixth straight loss in Boston.

Last month’s matchup featured Nate Robinson’s(notes) Celtics debut against his former team. Robinson, traded from New York on Feb. 18, has been mostly a non-factor for Boston, averaging 7.3 points on 42.1 percent shooting.

The Knicks are seeking their first three-game road win streak since March 10-13, 2009. They ended Dallas’ 13-game run with a 128-94 rout on Saturday and beat Philadelphia 94-84 on Monday.

The victories have coincided with rookie guard Toney Douglas’(notes) insertion into the starting lineup. Douglas has averaged 20.5 points and 7.5 assists in the two games.

“The coaches have a lot of confidence in me,” Douglas said. “I have confidence in myself. I feel comfortable.”

All-Star center David Lee(notes) had eight points Monday, ending his streak of scoring in double figures at 47 games. Lee is averaging 20.5 points and 15.8 rebounds in his last four against Boston.

Atlanta Hawks Vs Toronto Raptors Live NBA Preview

After easily winning their first game of the season without Johnson, the Hawks will likely be without their leading scorer again as they visit the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.

Raptors have lost five straight and nine of 10, this likely will be a decidedly tougher test for Atlanta, which hasn’t had to overcome much adversity. Hawks players have missed a league-low 15 games due to injury this season.

Crawford is the league’s leading scorer among players who have not started a game, averaging 17.6 points. He was one of nine Hawks to reach double figures in scoring against Toronto on Dec. 2, posting 16 points as Atlanta won 146-115.

It was Atlanta’s highest-scoring game since a 149-123 win over Philadelphia on Jan. 30, 1993. The Hawks have won four straight against the Raptors, shooting 50.8 percent (31 for 61) from 3-point range over the last three.

Toronto doesn’t appear to be in any shape to stop its defensive struggles in the series. The Raptors are allowing 113.8 points during their current skid. Read More!

Indiana Pacers Vs Cleveland Cavaliers Live Odds and NBA Picks

The Cavaliers will try to move a step closer toward claiming the Central Division title Wednesday night by recording their 10th straight home win over the Pacers, who are expected to play without leading scorer Danny Granger.

The Cavaliers hold a 15 1/2-game lead in the Central over Milwaukee, which has 17 games remaining, and they’re also trying to build on their six-game cushion over Orlando for first place in the Eastern Conference.

A matchup with the Pacers could help in both races. Indiana hasn’t won in Cleveland since a 109-104 double-overtime victory on Nov. 3, 2004, and it has dropped 15 of 17 overall meetings dating to Dec. 23, 2005.

The Pacers enter the game having lost 13 of 17 overall, including eight straight on the road - one shy of their longest skid away from home this season.

Watch Oklahoma City Thunder Vs Charlotte Bobcats Live Odds and Preview

Simply qualifying for the postseason would be good enough for the Charlotte Bobcats. 


Charlotte will have a difficult task as it tries to bounce back from its first loss in two weeks Wednesday night against the visiting Thunder, who’ve won five in a row and 17 of 20 and can secure a winning season with another victory.

Charlotte (34-32) had a chance to set a franchise record with a seventh straight win overall on Tuesday night, but it lost 99-94 at Indiana as top rebounder and second-leading scorer Gerald Wallace(notes) missed his second consecutive game with an ankle injury.

The Bobcats won 96-89 at reigning East champion Orlando without Wallace on Sunday, but slipped up against the Pacers, who had lost 13 of their previous 16.

“It’s still a young team that’s growing,” Charlotte’s Stephen Jackson(notes) said of the Bobcats. “We tend to get away from understanding what’s important and what’s at stake.”

The team remains in sixth place in the East, percentage points ahead of Miami and three games ahead of ninth-place Chicago, which has lost eight straight.

Although Charlotte will be playing its sixth game in nine days on Wednesday, Jackson refused to blame fatigue for the Bobcats’ latest result.

Miami Heat Vs Chicago Bulls Predictions

The Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls could be without some key players for their matchup Friday night. The latest injury to befall Chicago could have the most significant impact on the Eastern Conference playoff race.

Miami Heat Vs Chicago Bulls Live Odds at Sportsbook

Already short-handed, the reeling Bulls might be without All-Star point guard Derrick Rose(notes) on Friday night when they visit the Miami Heat, who are looking for their fifth straight home win.

This showdown for playoff position in the East was already shaping up to be a battle of attrition before Rose got hurt in the first quarter Thursday night. The Bulls’ leading scorer and playmaker sprained his left wrist falling to the floor after a midair collision with Orlando’s Dwight Howard(notes) on a drive to the basket.

Rose was taken to the locker room for examination and didn’t return. The Bulls said X-rays were negative. Rose is scheduled to have an MRI on Friday in Miami, after which the team will determine whether he can play against the Heat.

Without Rose for most of the game Thursday, the Bulls (31-33) fell 111-82 in Orlando for their sixth straight defeat. The skid has dropped Chicago into ninth-place in the East, 1 1/2 games behind a three-way tie between Miami (33-32), Charlotte and Toronto. Read More!

NBA Basketball Odds - NBA Thursday Night Preview

After 16 games in the first two days of regular season action, NBA Basketball Odds takes it easy Thursday night for a pair of games featuring one home favorite (Portland) and one small road favorite when San Antonio tips off at Chicago.

The Spurs (-3) are already 1-0 on the season after a 113-96 home win Wednesday night against the New Orleans Hornets. NBA Basketball Odds at sportsbooks opened with the Spurs listed as high as four-point favorites but the Bulls have had support from bettors suggesting Chicago can build on a positive training camp. Chicago is 16-3 SU in its last 19 games at home and after a playoff appearance last season expectations are high in the Windy City.

Over/Under NBA Betting has led the total down one point from an opening total of 194, no doubt helped by a trend between these two teams that has seen five of the last six games land under the number.

In a game that tips off at 10:30 ET, a pair of 1-0 Northwest rivals will treat fans to the first of what promises to be a highly contested battle for the division title in 2010 when the Denver Nuggets travel to Portland (-7.5) to take on the Trailblazers.

Denver earned its first win of the season on 30 points from Carmelo Anthony which led the team past the Utah Jazz 114-105. The total has also stayed under in five of the past six meetings between these two teams but public money is calling for a reversal tonight as online wagering has inched the total above 200 at sportsbooks across the board.

Friday night the NBA Betting card goes back to full strength when 26 teams go into action, starting at 7 pm ET with the New York Knicks vs. the Charlotte Bobcats (-2.5) and the Milwaukee Bucks against the Philadelphia 76ers (-8).

Expect to see plenty of early line movement as bettors weigh in on the first full weekend of pro basketball betting of the season. Read More!
