NBA handicap bets – Friday March 7th
My very good friend and fantastic NBA handicapper, present you the Friday night action in the NBA and gives us his expert picks...
Sacramento Kings @ Toronto Raptors
The Sacramento Kings will visit Toronto to take on the Raptors on Friday night, in what’s expected to be a one-sided game. Certainly, the Kings do have some quality pieces in their roster, like Isaiah Thomas, Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins. Nonetheless, they can’t be characterized as a team, at least not a good one. On the contrary, the Toronto Raptors are continuing their successful course. After winning their last game, I predict that the Raptors will win this one, too, overcoming the 6 point spread. Toronto is just too good for the Kings to match. The Raptors should be trusted in this game. Verdict: Raptors -6.0
Cleveland Cavaliers @ Charlotte Bobcats
The Charlotte Bobcats will host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night. The dynamics differential between the two teams is obvious. On the first look, the two teams might look evenly matched, at least that is the case if we take a look at their roster. However, reality is vastly different. The Bobcats have been playing as a team, a very capable one and they should be considered as a lock for the playoffs. On the contrary, the Cavaliers have failed to find success no matter what changes they attempted. The Cavs will lose this game by more than 5 points. It shouldn’t be a surprise if Charlotte finished the season over .500. At present they are at 0.459. Verdict: Bobcats -5.0
Portland Trail Blazers @ Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks will take on the Portland Trail Blazers in what’s expected to be a tough game for them. Both the Blazers and the Mavs are fighting for a better seed in the tough Western Conference this season. The Blazers, however, clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, especially considering that they have a 3-point advantage. Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge should be expected to light it up for one more time. Portland has fallen to the fifth seed and they strongly want to re-gain their lost ground in the Western Conference standings. Verdict: Blazers +3.0
