NBA Hot and Cold Bets - Week 3
by: Matt Fargo Sports
The NBA is now in full swing and our eight-month marathon of the pro basketball season is underway. Matt Fargo will be looking into Hot and Cold NBA bets throughout the season and he takes a look at four games that you will want to pay attention to.
NBA Hot Bets This Week
Tuesday – Atlanta Hawks at Chicago Bulls 8:35 PM ET
Are the Hawks for real or is their 4-0 start just a fluke? I am a firm supporter of the former and we witnessed this last season. In what was supposed to be a blowout series, Atlanta took the World Champion Celtics to seven games in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. The Hawks remain an undervalued team as they have been favored by fewer than three points in both home games while getting at least eight points in both road games. The loss of Josh Smith will no doubt hurt but there is plenty of frontcourt depth to make up for it. The Bulls have been hit or miss as their victories have been blowouts while the losses have also been on the large side. Kirk Hinrich is gone for up to three months which hurts the backcourt depth that was extremely young to begin with. Chicago is still a public team while the Hawks are on no one’s list still and will continue to present excellent value.
Wednesday – San Antonio Spurs at Milwaukee Bucks 8:05 PM ET
Heading into the season it would not have surprised many to see the Rockets and Hornets atop the Southwest Division after two weeks but no one saw the Spurs sitting at 1-4 and in last place. The lone victory came in double overtime at Minnesota and if not for a Tony Parker jumper at the buzzer in the first overtime, San Antonio would be in the company with Washington and the Los Angeles Clippers as the only winless teams in the league. Injuries are obviously the big factor as Tony Parker has pulled up a chair next to Manu Ginobili on the sidelines. The Spurs look to bounce back Tuesday at home against the Knicks and then Wednesday at Milwaukee. Now could be the time jump on San Antonio as the public is falling off fast and we will be presented with some valued lines. Milwaukee has started just 1-2 at home including a 0-1 mark against the Western Conference (Suns). The Bucks went 8-22 against the Western Conference last season.
NBA Cold Bets This Week
Monday – Portland Trailblazers at Orlando Magic 7:05 PM ET
Orlando is finally starting to play some good basketball. After a 0-2 start, the Magic have won four straight games, all of those coming on their home floor and coming by an average of 14 ppg. They covered three of those games but now it looks to be the time to sell. When teams start putting runs together, the public becomes more infatuated with the lines reflecting that which will be the case here. Orlando is coming off a 25-point win over the hapless Wizards as 9.5-point favorites and that was the fourth time in five games it has been at least an eight-point favorite at home. The Magic went 10-5-2 ATS last season as a home favorite of eight points or more but last year Orlando had the second best spread record in the league at 50-29-3 ATS. Don’t expect a repeat of that. Portland comes in at 3-3 but just 2-4 ATS including 0-3 ATS on the road and we should get a line with plenty of value on the Blazers side.
Wednesday – Philadelphia 76ers at Toronto Raptors 7:05 PM ET
What is wrong with the Sixers? The acquisition of Elton Brand was supposed to make Philadelphia a virtual lock for the playoffs and possibly present a small challenge to the Celtics in the Atlantic Division. The Sixers have blown out the Knicks and Kings which is nothing special considering most average teams can manage that as well. They are 0-3 on the road and have lost those games by an average of 13.3 ppg. Philadelphia was beaten at home pretty soundly by the Raptors already this season as a four-point chalk. Keep an eye on this team Tuesday and how it fares against Utah as that will be the first game in five days. The time off could help the Sixers get things together or it could prolong the problems. Toronto started 3-0 before losing two straight against the Pistons and Hawks. A winnable game against Charlotte comers before a matchup with Boston on Monday and a win there could provide a huge spark.

San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers Sunday May 20, 2012 10:30 pm
We won with the Spurs on Saturday and we will go right back with them on Sunday. It was not a good day for the Staples Center home teams as the Clippers and Lakers blew a combined lead of 37 points and the former hurt the most as the Clippers are now down 3-0 in this series and you ... read more

Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers Sunday May 20, 2012 3:30 pm
We lost with the Heat in Game Three which was pretty much a must win spot for them and now this one turns into a definite one. A loss here and the series isn't over for Miami but it is pretty close so its needs to tie this one up before heading back home for Game Five. The Heat have ... read more

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Los Angeles Lakers Saturday May 19, 2012 10:30 pm
The Lakers were able to climb back into the series last night with a win over Oklahoma City to pull to within a game. It will be short-lived though as these teams play again Saturday in the second of a back-to-back playoff set at Staples Center. It was obviously a must win for Los ... read more

Texas Rangers @ Houston Astros Saturday May 19, 2012 7:15 pm
The Rangers took the opener of this series last night to improve to 25-15 overall including 14-6 on the road. Those 14 road wins are tied with Baltimore for the most in the American League and they have built a five-game lead in the American League West. Derek Holland gets the call ... read more

San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers Saturday May 19, 2012 3:30 pm
This is a big weekend for the Clippers which would love nothing more than to sweep the two games played in Los Angeles to even up this series but it simply will not happen. They likely will not even win one of the games as they are clearly overmatched against one of the most efficient ... read more
NBA Basketball
Boston Celtics @ Philadelphia 76ers Friday May 18, 2012 8:05 pm
We played on the Sixers Wednesday and they certainly came up small as Boston was able to grab back the home court edge after a home split in the first two games. This makes Philadelphia in a prime situation on Friday in a chance to even up this series at home. The Sixers were embarrassed ... read more

Baltimore Orioles @ Washington Nationals Friday May 18, 2012 7:05 pm
Jake Arrieta has been either really good or really bad this year and I expect to see the latter tonight. He is coming off consecutive horrible starts at home against the Rangers and Rays to push his ERA to 5.21 on the season and while he has been better on the road, this is not the ... read more

Los Angeles Dodgers @ San Diego Padres Thursday May 17, 2012 10:05 pm
The Dodgers are finding life without Matt Kept pretty tough. Since going on the disabled list with an injured hamstring, the Dodgers have managed to score only six runs total, going 1-2 in the three games he has missed. They have dropped the last two and with the loss last night, ... read more

Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers Thursday May 17, 2012 7:05 pm
Miami let one get away in Game Two as the Heat lost at home to the Pacers and thus, lost home court advantage in this series. They need to get it back and it needs to be done here in the first game in Indiana because being down 2-1 with the possibility of being down 3-1 is not the ... read more

Chicago White Sox @ Los Angeles Angels Thursday May 17, 2012 3:35 pm
The Angels took the opener of this two-game set last night and they go for the two-game sweep this afternoon before heading out on a 10-game roadtrip. They have obviously been one of the biggest disappointments is baseball this season but they are far from out of anything with so ... read more
