Best Bets on Thursday’s NBA Schedule

Remember the good old days of betting with your local bookie? Those were the days indeed and we all had our favorite guy. Usually, they were named Vinny and they were from Trenton or anywhere, USA. You all know the type and hey, we loved those days. Thankfully, those days are in the past. As much as we loved finding Vinny in the local watering hole and plunking down $100 on the Lakers, we are glad that’s in the past.


Best NBA Betting Sites


The problem with local bookies, what can they offer bettors? Practically nothing. Just about all they can offer us is the spread, the moneyline, and the total. Beyond this, the options dry up quickly. Of course, they don’t offer any kind of real racebook, and they can’t possibly offer an online casino.

We have all wised up in recent times and found that if we want options, then we must find those options online. Find a great online sportsbook. Start by looking for one that has a great reputation for fast payouts, and the sharpest lines and odds. Double-check and make sure they offer a huge wagering menu. As bettors, we want wagering options.

We had never heard of a live line until the online bookmakers came along. Can you imagine trying to place live lines with your local bookie! NO, it doesn’t work. There are tons, and tons of great ways to bet on any given event, especially on the NBA. Live betting can save your bacon just when you need it saved in a bad way!

Who do we love in the NBA tonight?


Expert NBA Picks Tonight


Hornets vs. Raptors Predictions

When: 7:00 ET, TV: Local

Line: TOR -8, O/U 221.5

Picks: 5-Point Teaser: Hornets +13 / Straight Bet: Under 221.5

The Hornets are coming off of a big win over the Knicks. A game that was never really close. The Hornets are getting better and show much-improved confidence, especially defensively. We are going against the trend and the movement on the total and say this one goes under 221.5. The Raptors are coming off a tough loss in Portland. This game tonight is a different game than against the Blazers. This one will slow somewhat, and the Hornets will clamp down on defense. Gordon Hayward was brought in to be a star and he is finding his groove. Look for a much closer game than 8-points.


NBA Point Spread Odds


Warriors vs. Nuggets Predictions

When: 10:00 ET, TV: TNT

Line: DEN -5, O/U 229

Picks: Denver -5 + Over 229

Denver has had a rocky start, but we know one thing, Jokic is becoming a legit superstar in the NBA. This guy can do it all and he does, every night. Of course, we know who the star is for the Warriors. Curry will always be the star on this team, but he will not always carry this team to victory. One man can only do so many things for a certain amount of time. The Warrior’s luck runs out tonight in Denver. This team is not as good as they have looked in a couple of recent games. Lay the -5 without fear and take the over 229. Denver wins big and the score goes into the high 240s.

This is another great night in the NBA and best of all, you have great betting options. Call the bookmaker and ask for an NBA bonus and a great free contest. Why not earn some extra cash with no obligation… Good Luck.
