| Game 1: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Brooklyn Nets– Tuesday, December 4
No college football betting expert can predict the entirety of the season before it starts, and few NBA experts could have imagined that this game would become as attractive as it now is. Brooklyn had a talented roster – everyone in the professional basketball community knew that – but few basketball analysts could have anticipated the extent to which the Nets would flourish in the month of November, rising to the top tier of the Eastern Conference to challenge the Miami Heat and New York Knicks.
When looking at this game, it's clear that Brooklyn will have an edge by virtue of playing at home. However, Oklahoma City will have an edge in that its most recent game will wind up being on Dec. 1 against New Orleans. The Nets, on the other hand, will be coming off a game against the Miami Heat on that same night. Oklahoma City should be able to play a lower-stress game against New Orleans compared to what Brooklyn is facing against the defending NBA champions. Yes, one could argue that playing the Heat will teach the Nets a lot of good lessons, but it must still hurt Brooklyn on a physical level to play each of last season's NBA finalists back-to-back. Oklahoma City will probably be mentally fresh for this game, and that will make the difference. Take the Thunder here.
NBA Basketball Betting Pick:Oklahoma City
Game 2: Indiana Pacers @ Chicago Bulls– Tuesday, December 4
When people make a bet on sports, they know that they might feel compelled to join in the betting rush on games such as this one. Online football betting gurus know that defense wins games in the cold of December, and NBA commentators know that defense wins games in the warmth of an arena in December.
These two teams have both elevated their performances at the defensive end of the floor. Indiana held the Los Angeles Lakers to 77 points last Tuesday, and Chicago clamped down on the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday in a 101-78 triumph. The salient point in this game is that Chicago crushed Dallas on a night when the Mavs lacked Dirk Nowitzki. Because Indiana will be playing this game without its best offensive player, Danny Granger, Chicago head coach Tom Thibodeau should be able to craft a game plan that will hamstring the Pacers' offense. Take Chicago here.
NBA Basketball Betting Pick: Chicago
Game 3:Los Angeles Lakers @Houston Rockets – Tuesday, December 4
When you go over your facts and prepare to make a play at any of the best betting sites around, keep in mind that the Rockets have won three of their last four games before entering the first weekend of December. Coach Kevin McHale – whose daughter just died – is being picked up by his players, who have rallied around him. This game will mean more to Houston than it will to the Lakers. Take the Rockets on Tuesday night.
