Basketball betting fans have little to choose from tonight in the NBA. There are only two games on the NBA betting board and one has wide nine-point basketall betting spread and the other a slim two-point spread. And as any baskebatll betting fan that’s checked out the match up knows, neither is an easy pick. Basketball betting fans not choosing to wager on the Suns versus the Nuggets can contemplate the NBA betting action on the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors. The Warriors are favored by two points in the basketball betting odds. That might seem a bit strange considering the Spurs have the better overall record in the basketball betting. But home court advantage is huge the West. However, in the case of Golden State it’s not really such a huge factor in the basketball betting, at least not this year. San Antonio is not a great road game winning just 6 of its 13 basketball betting match ups away from the Alamo but then again neither is Golden State all that good of a home team winning, just 8 of its 15 basketball match ups at home. So despite what the basketball betting pros might think, it seems safe to throw out any advantages that might be gained from the location of the game as the Warriors have struggled to win consistently at home this season. The biggest factors in tonight’s basketball betting show down will be the fact that the Warriors have lost back to back games heading into tonight’s NBA betting action for just the first time all year since starting the season 0-6. And secondly, the Spurs will be at full strength in the basketball betting action for just the second time in the past 14 games. The Warriors are coming off basketball betting losses to two tough teams over the weekend in the Dallas Mavs and the New Orleans Hornets. Both games were on the road and likely took a lot of out of the Warriors. But they will be fighting like mad to keep from dropping a third straight basketball betting match up and will likely have some extra motivation. But a Warriors win won’t be easy considering that Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobli will all be on the court together again in the basketball betting action. That and the fact that the Spurs will be playing to maintain their one game lead in the Southwest division should be enough to get them the win in tonight’s NBA betting news. Look for the Spurs to get the road win tonight in the team’s basketball betting action. |
