NBA Betting - Big men dominate Thursday basketball betting

Posted by Craig Parsons on 4/27/2012 11:39:36 AM

Bet on sports: lots of action in the NBA this week

  • Big men lead the way on Thursday night
  • Howard, Duncan slated to square off in Orlando
  • Oden faces Shaq, Stoudamire in Portland

Having a great big man in the post is a huge boost to your team’s NBA betting odds, which is why online sports betting players should head over to their offshore sportsbooks for Thursday night’s action. Orlando and San Antonio tip things off in the “Sunshine State”, while Phoenix heads to Portland in a battle of Western Conference challengers.

Spurs vs Magic odds

The Magic should be basketball betting favorites at home on Thursday, as Orlando is 9-3 at Amway Arena. However, the Magic have dropped seven of their last 10 against the Spurs, who had won six straight ahead of Tuesday’s game in New Orleans. That doesn’t bode well for Spurs vs Magic betting if you’re an Orlando fan.

The Magic have a six-game streak of their own, but they have an injury concern in Howard, whose irritated left knee caused him to miss the first game of his career on Saturday, and then on Monday.

The Spurs should also take advantage of their edge at point guard, where Tony Parker should abuse Jameer Nelson, especially if Howard is out. Even with Howard in the lineup, he won’t be at full strength, and San Antonio will use its experience to wear out the Magic. Bet on the San Antonio Spurs.

Suns vs Trailblazers odds

The Suns have won three of their last four but should still be NBA betting underdogs on the road against a Portland team that is far better at home than away. Suns vs Trailblazers betting has leaned in Phoenix’s favor lately, as the Suns have owned the Trailblazers by winning 11 in a row, including two wins at home this season.

Rookie Greg Oden didn’t fare too well in his first meeting with the Suns, scoring five points with only a single board in 14 minutes. Meanwhile, Shaquille O’Neal and Amare Stoudamire have combined for 37.5 points and 23.5 boards in two meetings with the Trailblazers, and that doesn’t figure to slow down anytime soon.

The Suns are starting to look like the Phoenix team of old with newly-acquired Jason Richardson, so bet on the Phoenix Suns to make it a road sweep in Thursday’s NBA betting action.
