NBA Playoffs ? A Tale of Two Teams
By SPORTSBETTING.com
The NBA playoffs march on and going into Tuesday, the last two NBA champions, the Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs, see themselves on the hot seat, with Boston in danger of dropping to a 3-2 series deficit and the Spurs already behind the proverbial 8-ball, currently down 3-1.
The greatest Bulls team of all time, they?re not, but you gotta love the moxie of this year?s edition of Chicago?s NBA team
Featuring 2009 rookie of the year Derrick Rose, the Baby Bulls weren?t a bad bet during the regular season achieving a profitable 42-39-1 ATS mark and have carried that success into the postseason, going 3-1 ATS through four playoff games against the defending champion Boston Celtics?Chicago barely covered at -2.5 in a 121-118 double OT win on Sunday.
Although with an advantage ATS, the Bulls and Celtics are deadlocked at 2-2 in their NBA first-round playoff series and going into Game 5 on Tuesday night at Beantown?s TD Banknorth Garden, Chicago sees itself listed as a 7.5-point road ?dog with the Total set at 199 at most online sportsbooks.
One of the key players that led to the Bulls? stellar postseason ATS play has been shooting guard Ben Gordon and his status for tonight?s game is up in the air.
Gordon leads all Bulls in scoring in the postseason with 24.8 ppg and during Sunday?s thriller he suffered a hamstring injury; an MRI revealed that it was only a strain and he would be a game-time decision but there still remains a chance that he could spend the game in civvies.
While a slightly profitable 5-4 ATS in its last nine trips to Boston, the Bulls have been a better investment on the Total market going 7-2 on the Over/Under.
In its last 20 games when underdogs of 8-points or less, Chicago boasts a 12-7-1 ATS record and have posted 12 overs and 8 unders.
- Much to the surprise of many in the sports betting world, the Dallas Mavericks have handled the Spurs in this opening round matchup.
Dallas is up 3-1 (and have a mark of 3-1 ATS) going into Game 5 in San Antonio. The Mavs are listed as a 5-point dog with the Total set at 189.
The Mavs play the Spurs hard, and have been particularly effective as a road team, sporting an impressive 10-3 ATS mark their last 13 visits to San Antonio.
ON the other side, the Spurs have struggled to cover the number as a home team, stumbling to a 3-9 ATS mark in their last 12 starts on homecourt.
Will the Spurs and Celtics live to play another day?
We?ll find out tonight.
