Sportsbetting will be taking a break on NBA action for a few days as the NBA All-Star game is this Sunday in Dallas. While sports betting online odds are taking a break from NBA action, there are some teams that need it as well.
Sportsbetting for some teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers and Utah Jazz has been great lately but for others, they need the All-Star break. The Los Angeles Lakers have the best record in the Western Conference but they really need the All-Star break. Kobe Bryant is struggling with and ankle injury while Andrew Bynum is also hurting. Kobe missed Monday’s game after starting 235 consecutive games.
Bynum missed Wednesday’s game against the Jazz while Kobe was questionable. The Lakers won without Kobe against the Spurs but they need him healthy in the second half if they want to win in sportsbetting on a regular basis. Kobe might also not play in the All-Star game which would give him even more rest. The Lakers return to action after the break on Tuesday, February 16th as they host Golden State in sports betting online.
A team that also really needs the break is Miami. The Heat have struggled mightily in sports betting online even though they did win earlier this week. The team has chemistry issues, injuries and overall they are just a mess. They are in the playoff picture simply because they play in the Eastern Conference but they need to get things straightened out if they want to win in sportsbetting. Superstar Dwyane Wade and head coach Erik Spoelstra are not on the same page and Michael Beasley is never happy. Losing Mario Chalmers didn’t help either. Miami has very winnable games in sportsbetting after the break at Philadelphia and New Jersey.
Another team that is tired and needs the break is Houston. They were playing great earlier this season but they are struggling in sportsbetting right now. They have fallen out of the last playoff spot but they are still within striking range and Portland looks terrible so they could catch the Blazers. Injuries are a problem as Trevor Ariza and Kyle Lowry have missed games this sportsbetting week.
The Cavaliers, Jazz and Thunder may not want the NBA All-Star break but for teams like the Lakers, Heat and Rockets, it is coming at a good time in sports betting online.
