By Eric Williams
As always, the BetUS Sportsbook has all of the games inside of the game itself covered in a big way for the NBA playoffs, offering the BetUS NBA Betting Community a multitude of excellent NBA Odds on numerous Props wagers that the ingenious oddsmakers at BetUS have once again come up with.
This props wagering article focusing on the points, rebounds and assists totals on several players for both, the New Orleans Hornets, (57-26 SU, 51-30-2 ATS, 40-41-2 O/U) and Dallas Mavericks, (51-32 SU, 35-44-4 ATS, 39-42-2 O/U) in tonight’s matchup, will give BetUS NBA bettors the insight to make wise, winning wagers on each and every props bet listed below.
With tip-off set for tonight, let’s get started.
07:00 PM EST
D Nowitzki Total Points -3½ -115
D West Total Points +3½ -125
Analysis: Nowitzki put up 31 points to West’s 20 even in a losing effort. Take Dirk to do it again in the scoring department tonight.
Free Pick: Dirk Nowitzki -3½ Points
07:00 PM EST
J Howard Total Points -2½ -135
P Stojakovic Total Points +2½ -105
Analysis: A tentative Howard managed to score 17 points despite shooting 4-for-16 from the field because he gets to the free throw line more often than Stojakovic. I expect a much better performance from Howard in Game 2 and like him to cover this spread by just a hair.
Free Pick: Josh Howard -2½ Points
07:00 PM EST
J Kidd Total Pts+Assists +12½ -130
C Paul Total Pts+Assists -12½ -110
Analysis: Chris Paul put up 35 points and 10 assists in Game 1 while J. Kidd nearly got a triple-double, with 11 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists. I say Kidd covers this spread with another near triple-double while Paul comes back to earth just a bit with his scoring.
Free Pick: Jason Kidd +12½ Total Points+Assists
07:00 PM EST
T Chandler Total Pts+Rebs Over
T Chandler Total Pts+Rebs Under
Over 24 -115
Under 24 -125
Analysis: Chandler got 15 rebounds and 10 points in Game 1 and will do the same again tonight. Simple huh?
Free Pick: Tyson Chandler Over 24 Total Points+Rebounds
07:00 PM EST
D Nowitzki Total Rebs Over
D Nowitzki Total Rebs Under
Over 9½ -110
Under 9½ -130
Analysis: I know the game has changed when we’re asking whether or not a starting seven-footer is going to grab 10 rebounds or not. I say Nowitzki gets another 10 rebounds tonight as head coach Avery has already told the team to get tougher for Game 2.
Free Pick: Dirk Nowitzki Over 9½ Rebounds
07:00 PM EST
J Stackhouse Total Points Over
J Stackhouse Total Points Under
Over 10½ -110
Under 10½ -130
Analysis: I like Stackhouse to get at least 14 or 15 points over the Hornets’ smaller, Jannero Pargo who has been playing big minutes opposite Chris Paul.
Free Pick: Jerry Stackhouse Over 9½ Total Points
07:00 PM EST
J Terry Total Pts+Assists Over
J Terry Total Pts+Assists Under
Over 18 -110
Under 18 -130
Analysis: The ‘Jet’ was grounded in Game 1, putting up just 8 points and 2 assists while shooting a dismal 2-for-5 from the field. I like Terry to bounce back wit a better game tonight, but I’m just not seeing 19 points and rebounds combined. Take the Under.
Free Pick: Jason Terry Under 18 Total Points+Assists
