Well, the NFL season is almost over and for all intents-and-purposes the year of betting on football has come to a close. Yes, there is still the Super Bowl (more on that in the coming weeks) but it is time to focus on basketball for the next couple months.
So, without further adieu my NBA pick of the night.
Phoenix Suns +5 1/2
Orlando Magic
I like Phoenix for a couple reasons.
1. They have played pretty well of late, including wins on the road against both New York and Boston. Those two teams are a little overrated, but they are still two solid teams and the Suns not only played well against them, but actually won the games.
2. Dallas played a tight one, and won against New Orleans a few nights ago, but with Dirk they were not nearly as good as they are with him. He's not playing tonight either and the Mavericks will suffer.
3. Dallas has played 4 tight games in a row and Phoenix has played tight in their last two. Either way, win or lose, in a close game you always take the underdog. Getting points in a 3 point affair is way better than giving them.
So, I'll take the Suns.
Remember, this is only for fun. Never bet on a game unless you can afford it and live in a state or country where it is legal.
