SPORTS N STUFF

The scheduling gods will catch up to every team in the National Basketball Association this year becomes of the condensed playing time but online best sportsbook bettors should be aware of some very dangerous trap games this weekend.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have surprised some people this year. The split their first 12 games straight up and covered three straight road games against Phoenix, the Lakers and Charlotte but the Camelot season may be in for a bumpy road this weekend.

On Saturday they will have to face Atlanta in Atlanta after tangling with the Chicago Bulls the night before. The Bulls can punish people and the Cavs could be worse for wear. They also will be playing Saturday in their 7th road game in the last 9 contests. Online sports players have to think long and hard about backing the visitors on Saturday.

The Philadelphia 76ers have gotten off to a super start this season and they should secure a decent playoff seeding. They opened the year with 5 straight on the road and only failed to cover once from December 31 to a win on Martin Luther King Day.

Thats the good sport betting news. The bad news is they have played some rather weak foes. They beat subpar teams like Phoenix, New Orleans, Toronto, Detroit, Sacramento and Washington twice.

Saturday night they will be tested. On Friday they will host the active and winning Atlanta Hawks, then have to resist the night temptations of South Beach 24 hours later when the face the Miami Heat.

Okay, Miami has missed D. Wade and there have been instances where they seemed vulnerable if a team can get them to play in the half court but Chris Bosh has been very consistent, Mario Chalmers has been making some good decisions, Udonis Haslem has given them toughness and rookie Norris Cole is learning under fire how to score in this league.

Miami players read the papers and they will be sky high to stick it to a Conference rival.

Back in the day Shaquille ONeal used to refer to the Sacramento Kings as the Queens and although they have some talent there this season, there is some turmoil.

The Kings roll into Memphis Saturday but had to play the hot San Antonio Spurs on Friday. The game will be a war down low with March Gasol trying to keep the immature DeMarcus Cousins off the glass.

Rudy Gay has resumed his leader roll on Memphis and he is starting to get in better shape and shooting the ball better. Marreese Speights is gaining confidence as he tries to fill the shoes of the injured Zach Randolph.

Memphis is one of the leaders in the league in stealing the ball as Mike Conley and Tony Allen fill the passing lanes and when they do tip the ball, they are off to the races.

Young teams have a hard time generally on the road and the Kings will be playing their 7th room service game in 8 events.

The Griz should roll.

Keep your betting websites eye on the ball, and good luck.
