PISTONS LOOKING GOOD AT HALF TIME
The football season is behind us, and we find ourselves in the middle of
both the college and pro-basketball seasons. Fortunately, there are still
plenty of games each day for bet365 customers to get their teeth into.
However, at this stage of the season, some teams will be more motivated
than others, and bettors should bear this in mind when looking for
winning
opportunities in the coming weeks.
The Pistons are beginning to look human after all after ‘slumping’ to a
4-4
(3-5 ATS) straight up record in their last eight games, including blowing
a
13-point lead at Miami on Sunday. However they still have an excellent
42-9
SU record (the best in the NBA), and a 10 1/2-game lead over their
closest
competitor in the Eastern Conference (2/5 with bet365 to win Conference),
and bettors should expect them to bounce back from that reverse after
their
six-day break. They’re a solid 7-1 SU (6-2 ATS) after their first eight
losses this season, with each of the seven wins coming by at least nine
points or more.
The Heat were snapping an 0-7 skid against the divisional leaders, but
that
took nothing short of a fourth-quarter miracle (won 100-98 on a Dwayne
Wade
last second shot), and potential bettors should still be wary before
supporting them on the spread, especially if they’re playing without
their
dominant center, Shaquille O’Neal (9-9 this season without him). In
contrast, red-hot Dallas are stuffing their bettors wallets right now
after
going 13-1 (11-3 ATS) in their last 14 games, and the Mavericks should be
closely followed in the coming weeks.
New Orleans are a team of young players and limited talent, but they
continue to get the results for bettors - 11-5 ATS the last 16 games! A
key
player for them is rookie Chris Paul, and they’ll continue to overachieve
as long as he’s healthy and in the line up. Stay with them for a
season-long profit, and don’t forget our Parlay Bonus pays you much more
