Two of the best regular season games of the year in the NBA are on ABC today. The San Antonio Spurs are at the Boston Celtics. Bodog Life has Boston laying seven with a total of 186.

That’s followed by the LA Lakers at the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bookmaker has Cleveland posted at -4.5 with a total of 206.

San Antonio comes in 4-1 straight up and 4-0-1 against the spread in their last five. As Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com points out the home teams generally do well in the NBA because when a much more rested team plays a tired squad, the schedule usually benefits the home team.

However this is Boston’s third game in four nights while the Spurs have had four days between games.

While Boston has won 12-of-13 straight up, they’ve dropped 3-of-4 to the number. They are 10-2 against the spread to the Southwest Division. Boston is also 7-1 their last eight off a straight up win. Boston has gone under 8-1 to an opponent winning percentage of .600 or greater.  

Best of all, not only is it a great day to watch sports, it’s a better day to wager on them.
