CHARLOTTE BOBCATS vs GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS
Bet on: CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
Best Odds: 2.45
Stake: 2 % bankroll (40 units)
No Bet Under: 2.00
Game Preview:
Charlottelost their sixth straight game and I believe team should respond.Charlottegot demolished by teams playing solid defense like Sixers, Rockets, Hawks, Heat. But they looked well against the Knicks and hopefully it will be similar against GSW.
GSW are 0 – 3 on the road, lost 6 of the last 7 games and miss their best player, Curry, though they missing him half a season so far.
Charlotteweak team, but so are GSW and I believe that Cats should do well against team mediocre on defense like GSW.
On top of that, Cats starting to have sense of urgency to get that win. If they lose tonight and againstCleveland, they will have 8 losses in a row and go on three games road trip, playing Orlando and Chicago (and NJ).
I believe that we should takeCharlottetonight and if it lose, take them again againstCleveland.
Here is a quote of what happened yesterday after game:
The loss was the Bobcats' sixth straight, prompting owner Michael Jordan to meet with the players in a closed-door session for about five minutes after the game.
"He just came in the locker room and said we have to play better than that," said forward Boris Diaw, who has been held to a combined three points in his last two games. "(He said) that Detroit is not a team that's better than us, and (Friday) they did play better than us. We have to find a way to win."
The Bobcats lost six in a row twice last season, but haven't dropped seven straight since Nov. 7-20, 2009.
Usually players respond well on such spots. I believe Cats should have been favorites for 1.75 odds, so the odds here make me really like the bet.

OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER vs NEW YORK KNICKS
Bet on: NEW YORK KNICKS Over +93.00
Best Odds: 1.90
Stake: 1 % bankroll (20 units)
No Bet Under: 1.80
Game Preview:
This is simple "star of the team out" angle. Knicks are much better team without Carmelo in general. Not enough shots for such ego fulled team, where even rookie that should be in NBDL, shoots 20 times (scoring 5 only) and he suppose to be PG.
Without Carmelo suddenly life is much easier. You can even see ball movement, something that you never see in Knicks with him on the floor.
Knicks scored 114 points, their highest score this season, without Amare, one of the main scorers on the team. I believe they will score 95+ points as well.

LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS vs LOS ANGELES LAKERS
Bet on: LOS ANGELES LAKERS
Best Odds: 2.35
Stake: 1 % bankroll (20 units)
No Bet Under: 2.20
Game Preview:
First of all, I'm Lakers fan, but I always try to be objective as possible betting on their games.
I believe that Clippers should be favorites, but 1.90 - 2.10 odds would have been about right. Now the odds a bit too high in favor of the Lakers, at least in my opinion.
Kobe in amazingly good form. Mac, Murphy and Artest all should play today. Bynum owned Clippers in preseason, despite Clippers winning.
Clippers are poor after long rest and Lakers poor in B2B, so it should balance each other. Staples Center is the homecourt for both teams and fans should be at least 1/3 Lakers fan.
CP3 and Griffin amazing players and Clippers shouldn't be dogs, but Lakers should get such high odds as well.
Lakers remember how they were humiliated in preseason and will get their revenge.
Very small bet, just for pure value (not my favorite style of betting, but decided to take it small today).
