Wednesday Night NBA

By Divol

Atlanta Hawks v Milwaukee Bucks



29th April 01:00 GMT

I will take only one bet here today and that is Hawks with the line. This is the first time I'm taking Hawks in this series but I do think they will easily win tonight. The first four games made it clear to me. Seasons change, but Hawks are still the same Hawks. In 07-08 season Hawks played Boston in the first round. The home team won all 7 lines, with Hawks winning three at home. 08-09 season. A year has passed and Hawks are now favourites and have HCA. Still, more of the same (well almost). 7 games, in all 7 games, the winning team covers the line and all 7 games end with a double digit margin. The only difference is that Hawks lost Game 2 and corrected it in Game 4. Game 5 they won by 15 points that season by the way. 09-10 season and Hawks win easily the first two games and cover at home, while losing and failing to cover the next two games played in Milwaukee. Bucks won Game 3 with a huge night from Jennings. I doubt he will repeat such a performance tonight. Hawks at home are a different team. The crowd will rock the place, the players shouldn't even take the chance to lose tonight and that means to be in double digits lead in the final minutes. Such a big line always leaves a chance for backdoor cover, especially with this crew, but I will take my chances but I will just risk small units.



Pick: Hawks -8.5 - 1.90 odds - 2 units play - VCBet


Denver Nuggets v Utah Jazz



29th April 03:30 GMT

I like many bets in this game tonight, but will focus on only few. Denver to win and cover and Utah Under 104 points - that is easy to explain. Denver are in a must win game and they can't take any chances today.  The crowd have pushed Denver to some big displays on both ends of the floor and just like we seen from Lakers and Dallas they also make a big effort on the D. Billups Over 6.5 assists for some nice odds. Billups made only 4 and 3 assists in Games 3 and 4, but he made 8 and 11 assists in Games 1 and 2. Billups said today that he is going to be aggressive on offense today and not only in shooting, but passing and pick and rolling. I believe we have a good chance to see double double from him tonight. He makes 6.1 assists at home and only 5.1 assists on the road. Nene Over 13.5 points - Here is simple home - road difference. Nene scored 18 and 19 points in the two games in Denver but only 10 and 8 points in Utah. In regular season he scored at home against Utah also 16 and 18 points. Nene averages 14.7 points at home over the season and only 13 points on the road.
I fully expect him to score 15+ points tonight.
