Nuggets shooting for Wade is not the shooting they need
The Denver Nuggets offered Dwayne Wade $52 million for two years – the largest contract in the history of the franchise believe it or not. The new – good or bad depending on whom you ask – is that Wade turned down in favor of the Chicago Bulls. The decidedly good news is that the Nuggets shooting for a major superstar shows their commitment to becoming a favorite of people betting on basketball at SBG Global sportsbook. However, the shooting they need to be aiming for should take place on a basketball floor. Denver was a bottom-five shooting team from outside the paint, with only Danilo Gallinari and Gary Harris shooting above the league average on at least 200 three-point attempts.
One-man New Orleans Pelicans need to get back to ‘D’
Fans betting on basketball at SBG Global sportsbook know that the New Orleans Pelicans are a one-man team, and that man is three-time All-Star Anthony Davis. Last season – his fourth with the Pelicans – Davis had 35.5 minutes, 24.3 points, 2.0 blocks, and 10.3 rebounds in 61 regular season games. Davis is not only New Orleans’ highest-scorer but also a good defender. However, and not harp on it, he is only one man and cannot do everything. Sometimes he can’t do anything; injuries have prevented Davis from playing a single full season in the NBA.
The Minnesota Timberwolves; or, Team Rookie of the Year
It’s increasing harder for fans of betting on basketball to put their money on the Minnesota Timberwolves at SBG Global sportsbook. The T’Wolves finished last season with a 29-53 record; 5th in the Northwest division and 13th in the Western Conference. The takeaway: the Timberwolves are not tied for the second-longest playoffs appearance drought in the history of the NBA with the Golden State Warriors (1994–95-2005–06), and behind the LA Clippers (1976–77-1990–91). Only Solomon Northup has had a worse 12-year period. Not even the return of Kevin Garnett made much of a difference.
Deontay Wilder vs. Chris Arreola Boxing Betting Odds
The ‘Bronze Bomber’ Deontay Wilder is the boxing betting favorite to retain the WBC heavyweight championship versus ‘The Nightmare’ Chris Arreola on Jul 16th, 2016 at the Legacy Arena, in Birmingham, Alabama. Below are the odds for fans who bet on boxing:
Florida Panthers dressed to kill for 2016-17 NHL Season
The Florida Panthers’ NHL betting odds to win the 2016-2017 Stanley Cup currently stand at +1825, giving them about the best 10th odds to go all the way. And while the Tampa Bay Lightning have better odds (+1325), the Panthers are not going to let their neighbors get the upper hand just like that. The Panthers have redesigned their logo and uniform set, and while outwardly appearances do not win championships, that is just an indication of things to come. Florida won the Atlantic Division last season with a franchise record of 103 points. However, there is always room for improvement, especially if fans who bet on hockey consider that lost to the New York Islanders 4-2 in the first round of the playoffs.
Jaguars Betting on Robinson Staying Awake This Season
NFL betting enthusiasts are always looking for the latest analysis, and today that involves an amusing anecdote. The state of Florida is notorious for producing the most comical headlines and last night Denard Robinson, the Jaguars 3rd down back, made his contribution to the states’ long running gag.
UFC Betting Odds for Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar
Fans who are going to bet on UFC 200 on Saturday, July 9th will bear witness to something of an oddity – other than Brock Lesnar making his grand return, that is. Even though the current UFC Featherweight Champion is Conor McGregor, the landmark event will feature a Featherweight Championship bout involving Jose Aldo versus Frankie Edgar – and unfortunately it will not be a Triple Threat match including the incumbent champ. As a result of the Irishman’s forays outside of his division, the company booked the Aldo vs. Edgar fight for an interim UFC Featherweight Championship, for which the UFC betting odds are as follows:
No One in WNBA Betting on Griner Making History
Fans of WNBA betting surely caught the historic moment. On Sunday night the Phoenix Mercury (8-10) traveled to Atlanta to take on the Dream (8-9) at 6pm. It was there where Phoenix center Brittney Griner posted the WNBA’s 6th triple-double in league history. Griner was able to entertain WNBA betting enthusiasts on her way to 27 points, 10 rebounds and 10 blocks.
UFC Betting Odds for Miesha Tate vs. Amanda Nunes
Bantamweight champion Miesha Tate is the UFC betting favorite to retain her title against Amanda Nunes at UFC 200 on July 9th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. And I personally agree. I mean, what’s not to like? She’s beautiful, dangerous, and is nicknamed ‘Cupcake.’ She’s just like a real-life Powerpuff Girl. Having gotten that out of my system, here are the odds for fans who bet on UFC:
Is there like after Kobe for the Los Angeles Lakers?
That is what fans who are keen on betting on basketball at SBG Global sportsbook wonder about. Though to be honest, there wasn’t a lot of life left in them in the last years of Kobe’s tenure either. The Lakers started the 2015–16 NBA season eager to outdo themselves following a franchise-worst record of 21-61 the previous campaign – and in a way they did just that, posting an even worse record of 17-65. Perhaps not coincidentally, it was also Kobe’s third’s worst season out of his 20 in Los Angeles – other than his rookie season and the 2013-14 season in which he played only six games.
