2010 NBA All Star Match
Well here we are again, All Star weekend in the NBA as the best from the East take on the best from the West. This match is literally going to be the biggest NBA All Star match in history with over 90,000 people expected to be in attendance at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, crushing the old record of 78,129 for a basketball match in America.
This match is always a great spectacle with the best NBA players going head to head. The West won last year event 146-119 in a landslide as Kobe Bryant and Shaq ran riot. Kobe won’t be playing this year due to injury, but the West are still favourites at $1.82, with the East at $2.00 at Centrebet.
The West will be very strong and hard to stop in the paint with guys like Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Zach Randolph and Tim Duncan, while on the offensive end they look unstoppable with Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony both averaging 29 points a game this year, and backup coming from the likes of Chauncey Billups, Chris Paul, Brandon Roy and Steve Nash. There doesn’t appear to be too many weaknesses in this team.

EPL Previews
Thing’s really get interesting this weekend in the English Premier League. It is Matchday 25 and with only fourteen games remaining, the run home is only beginning to heat up. Without doubt, the clash of the weekend is between London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal who are battling for the title, who will take the honours? Centrebet are predicting Chelsea, at odds of $1.80.
Liverpool meets Everton in the Merseyside Derby which is always a HUGE match. Liverpool has the wood over Everton in recent years and this is shown in the bookies price of $1.83. But Everton could be value at $4.45.
Tottenham host Aston Villa in the weekend’s other big fixture, with both these sides desperate to win to remain in the hunt for that elusive Champions League spot. The Spurs are $2.08 with Villa value at $3.60.
Our expert writer has, as usual, covered every game in great detail at our partner site Freebetinfo.com.au, so be sure to check out the links below for this weekend’s matches.
NBA Tips 02/02
There looks a bit of value out there today in the NBA. We’ve studied today’s matches and found a couple that we like. The out of form Boston will be looking to out gun Washington and are value to do so at -5.0 at $1.91. The Celtics have the wood on the Wizards in recent years winning the past four straight, including the last two at this venue (won of those a 122-88 win). Hard to see the Celtics dropping this one. Tip – Boston -5.0 at $1.91
Milwaukee appear WAY over the odds at $3.25 with their trip to Miami. The Bucks were 95-84 winners over Miami only two days ago on Sunday and they do know how to win at this venue, winning in two of their past four visits here. The line here is +6.5 on the Bucks which is hard to ignore. Tip – Milwaukee +6.5 at $1.91
Phoenix is another we like. They look over the odds at $2.00 in their trip to New Orleans and their form suggest they should be able to scoot past the Hornets.The Suns have won at Houston and defeated Dallas in their past two games and are really firing, thanks to solid form from Amare Stoudemire. The Hornets will be without superstar Chris Paul until mid March after he injured his knee last match, while James Posey will miss also. Very hard to dismiss the Suns here. Tip – Phoenix win at $2.00
Portland could be another one who look value at $1.80, home to Charlotte. The Bobcats have been struggling on the road this year winning only 6 of 23, however the Blazers will be without playmaker Brandon Roy for this clash. It is a tough one, but we slightly fancy the Blazers to win a close one. Portland win at $1.80

Todays NBA Tips
Seven games in the NBA today, but only a couple take my eye. I’m looking at Detroit who appear way over the odds at $3.00 to beat Charlotte in Charlotte at $1.42. These two sides have met regularly over the past several year’s, with the Pistons winning 7 of 8 of 9 since January 2007. The most recent being a 98-75 win only five weeks ago.
Both sides are in poor form, but Detroit will be looking to return to the form that saw them win 5 straight games earlier this month. I think they can do so here, they showed plenty of grit in their last match, keeping title favourites the Lakers to only 10 points in the last quarter. Be sure to check out Detroit to win at $3.00, if take the +5.5 spread for added confidence.
There is not much else I like today, maybe Indiana +14.5 at $1.92 against Boston. The Pacers have covered the spread in their last three against the Celtics and actually beat them by 9 points only five weeks back. The 14.5 spread looks tough for the Celtics to cover. Also, Golden State looks a bit better than the $3.90 being offered at Centrebet, having already beat the Grizzlies last month, and having a win record of 7 of their last 10 over the Grizzlies. The line looks a safe option here, take Golden State +7.5 at $1.92.
There appears to be plenty of value today if your like betting over the odds, with 11 games today in the NBA. Indiana ($3.10) really stand out against Memphis ($1.40). The Pacers have a good recent record over the Grizzlies winning 4 of the past 6 encounters, while they have also turned their form around this past week winning 3 of 4, their only loss coming at Orlando. Indiana to win at $3.10 is great value, or take them +6.0 on the safer option.
Denver ($1.83) are also real value at New Orleans ($2.00). They’ve won 5 of their past 6 against the Hornets and come into this game with solid form with wins this week already against Houston, Phoenix and the tricky Oklahoma Thunder. They will be without star Chauncey Billups, but they have good depth and we recommend them here. There could be better value on the line with Denver -1.0 at $1.91. Interestingly, the Nuggets have covered the line in their last 6 games against the Hornets, so check out Denver -1.0 at $1.91.
Others that stand out as value to me are Washington $2.35 and Detroit $2.80, while the lines of Milwaukee +9.5 and New Jersey +7.5 are big chances.

NBA Tips 13/12
There are 8 games in the NBA today and again there looks plenty of value. We cleaned up yesterday thanks to New York romping home at odds of $3.60 and Indiana winning as planned against New Jersey on the line.
Today the Lakers look real value today at $2.10 to win at Utah. They are on an 11 game winning streak and have won 7 of their past 8 matches against Utah overall, including the last 3. These sides met only last Thursday with the Lakers winning 101-77, so we suggest lapping up that value. Take Lakers at $2.10 with IASbet.
Portland is another who look over the odds at $2.55 away to Milwaukee. Sure the Trailblazers have massive injury concerns at the moment, but they showed enough form on the road yesterday against the highly fancied Cavaliers, taking the game to the dying seconds. The Blazers have won their past 5 straight against the Bucks dating back to early 2007 and are real value. Take Portland at $2.55 with Sportingbet.
Others that look over the odds are Phoenix at $4.35, while Minnesota +7.5 and Dallas -7.5 both look tempting at $1.91 with Centrebet. Good luck if your punting today and lets continue this good run!
