Thanksgiving Weekend NBA Preview
November 30, 2009
NBA betting has a light schedule Saturday with just five games on tap. But that doesn’t mean there is any less value. Need a great book to get in on the action? BetUS is offering our readers a FREE $500 bonus for signing up with a NEW account! Here’s a couple of quality contests on the board this weekend that have NBA point spreads that will be worth a look:
Dallas Mavericks at Cleveland Cavaliers
The Mavericks will face a familiar foe when they travel to Cleveland on Saturday. Former Lakers and Suns center Shaquille O’Neal is expected back on the floor for the Cavs this weekend after missing time with a shoulder injury. O’Neal is averaging just over 11 points and seven rebounds in limited action in Cleveland.
Dallas point guard Jason Kidd is adding to his Hall of Fame career. Kidd moved into second on the all-time assists list, after dishing out seven helpers in a win over Houston on Wednesday. The veteran playmaker is a big reason why the Mavericks sit atop the West and own a 10-5 ATS mark heading into Friday’s game with Indiana.
Orlando Magic at Milwaukee Bucks
Orlando took one on the chin from their state rivals, the Miami Heat, on Wednesday, losing on a last-second put-back dunk from Michael Beasley. That snapped the Magic’s five-game winning streak and moved them to 9-6 against the NBA point spread heading into Thursday’s game against Atlanta. Despite scoring 25 points, point guard Jason Williams is catching some flack for missing two free throws in the final minute of that loss to Miami.
The Bucks will be coming off a four-game road trip Saturday, having faced the Oklahoma City Thunder the night before. Milwaukee has come back to earth after a hot start to the year, mostly due to injuries to their frontcourt. Rookie guard Brandon Jennings continues to shine; however, with defenders keying on the first-year phenom, his numbers have dropped during this road swing. The Bucks head into Friday with an 8-5 record against the spread.
