Bradley Braves vs Evansville Aces Betting Pick & Prediction 2/7/24

<p>The opening week of the 2021-22 NBA season brings an exciting non-conference clash Thursday, October 21, as the Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks lock horns at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Both teams will take the floor for the first time this season, and the Mavs will search for their third straight victory over the Hawks.&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a>, the Mavericks are small 2.5-point road underdogs with a total of 224.5 points. Dallas sits at +120 moneyline odds, while Atlanta is a -140 fave to win straight up.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>The Mavericks need more from Kristaps Porzingis  </h2>



<p>The Dallas Mavericks went 42-30 last regular season and finished fifth in the West. The 2021 NBA Playoffs brought another disappointment to the Mavs’ fans, as their beloved team lost to the LA Clippers in the first round for the second straight year. Dallas blew a 3-2 lead, and Luka Doncic didn’t get enough support from his teammates.</p>



<p>Doncic had 46 points in Game 7, averaging 35.7 points and 10.3 assists throughout the series. Kristaps Porzingis was tallying only 13.1 points and 5.4 rebounds a night in the playoffs, and the Mavericks desperately need KP6 to find his top form in 2021-22. Porzingis appeared in 43 games this past regular season and averaged 20.1 points and 8.9 boards per contest.</p>



<p>The Mavericks are going into the new season in full strength. In the offseason, they decided to move on from Jason Richardson and acquired Reggie Bullock to bolster their 3-point shooting. The Mavs have a new head coach, too, as Jason Kidd succeeds Rick Carlisle, who left the club after 13 years to join the Pacers.</p>



<h2>The Hawks look to stay on the right track</h2>



<p>The Atlanta Hawks returned to the postseason in 2021 to snap a three-year drought. They went 41-31 in the regular season and won the Southeast Division for the first time since 2015. The Hawks surprisingly reached the 2021 Eastern Conference Finals, outlasting New York and Philadelphia along the way, but they couldn’t get past the Milwaukee Bucks.</p>



<p>Atlanta did a great job in the offseason. The Hawks resigned John Collins and Lou Williams, while Delon Wright arrived from Sacramento in a three-team trade. Also, the Hawks retained Nate McMillan as their permanent head coach.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Listed at +1800 to win the East, the Hawks enter the new season with their win total at 47.5 games. McMillan cannot count on Onyeka Okongwu (shoulder), but all other guys are ready to go, and the Hawks’ great depth at all positions should be a decisive factor in the playoff race. Trae Young will continue to lead the way after averaging 25.3 points and 9.4 assists last regular season, but don’t forget about Clint Capela, John Collins, Kevin Huerter, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Danilo Gallinari.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Dallas:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games overall</li><li>3-12 ATS in the last 15 games against Atlanta&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Atlanta:</strong></p>



<ul><li>14-3 ATS in the last 17 outings at home as favorites&nbsp;</li><li>7-1 ATS in the last eight games against the Western Conference&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-dallas-mavericks-vs-atlanta-hawks-pick">Dallas Mavericks vs. Atlanta Hawks Pick</h2>



<p>Dallas swept Atlanta in 2020-21, winning 122-116 as a 2-point road fave and 118-117 as a 3.5-point home fave, while Luka Doncic dominated the Hawks. I’m looking for Atlanta to get revenge Thursday, though this game could easily go either way.</p>



<p>The Hawks have improved a lot since those two losses to the Mavs that came in February. They’ve played solid defense in the postseason, allowing 107.8 points per game on 45.8% shooting from the field and 35.1% from downtown. I’ve already mentioned the Hawks’ depth which is another reason why I’m going with the hosts here.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Atlanta Hawks -2.5 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>Both last season’s duels between Dallas and Atlanta went in the over, producing way more than 224 points in total each. The Hawks finished the previous regular season with the eighth-best offensive rating in the NBA, tallying 115.7 points per 100 possessions, while the Mavs were right behind with 115.4 points per 100 possessions.</p>



<p>Neither team prefers to play at a fast pace, but they should execute well offensively against each other and produce another high-scoring affair.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 224.5 points at -110</strong></p>

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

The Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers split their first two encounters of the season, so they will decide the regular-season series winner Thursday night at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The Lakers beat the Rockets 124-115 as 3.5-point road dogs on January 18, while the Rockets bounced back with a terrific 121-111 victory as 6-point dogs at Staples Center on February 6. The Rockets will try to clinch their series with the Lakers for the seventh straight year.

<strong>Injuries/Suspensions</strong>

Houston is coming in full strength, while the Lakers will be without Dion Waiters who’s still waiting on his debut in a new jersey. However, the Lakers head coach Frank Vogel stated that Dion will need some time to acclimate on the team’s system.

<strong>The Line</strong>

The Lakers opened as 6.5-point favorites at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">Betonline</a>, <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada</a>, and <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI</a>. The total has been set at 230.5 points at Betonline and Bovada, while BetDSI set a one-point higher line.

<strong>What's at Stake?</strong>

The Rockets are tied with the Thunder for No. 5 seed in the West, trailing one game behind the fourth-seeded Jazz. On the other side, the Lakers are topping the Western Conference, five and a half games ahead of the LA Clippers. The Lakers are three games behind the Milwaukee Bucks in the race for the best record in the league.

<strong>The Spot</strong>

Houston is coming off a 117-111 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves as a 12.5-point home fave this past Tuesday. The Rockets put an end to a four-game losing streak. The Lakers snapped their four-game winning streak on Tuesday, suffering a narrow 104-102 loss to the Brooklyn Nets as heavy 12-point home favorites.

<strong>The Matchup</strong>

Back in February, I’ve got burned on the clash between these two teams. The Rockets’ small-ball basketball had a debut with Robert Covington as their tallest guy, so I was thinking there’s no way the Lakers won’t beat the Rockets. Covington hit a couple of clutch threes, and the Rockets beat the Lakers by 10 points.

Russell Westbrook was unstoppable on that February 6, accounting for 41 points on 17-for-28 shooting from the field. James Harden had only 14 points to go with seven assists and a couple of steals. The Rockets made 19 triples out of 42 attempts from deep (45.2%), while the Lakers hit just nine out of 31 attempts (29.0%). As I expected, the Lakers outscored the Rockets in the paint (62-40).

The Rockets have been struggling recently with their small-ball lineup. Before they outlasted the T-Wolves on Tuesday, the Rockets have suffered four straight losses to the Knicks, Clippers, Hornets, and Magic. All these four teams had an identical game plan, so guys like Ivica Zubac dominated the Rockets in the paint.

Houston depends a lot on its 3-point shooting. In a 120-105 defeat to the Clippers, the Rockets shot only 16.7% from beyond the arc. Houston takes the most 3-point attempts per game (44.3). The Rockets are second in the league in points per game (118.1), 23<sup>rd</sup> in 3-point percentage, and 14<sup>th</sup> in total rebounds per contest (44.9). Also, they allow 114.4 points a night (22<sup>nd</sup> in the NBA).

The Lakers have won 11 of their previous 13 games including victories over the Bucks and Clippers. They are seventh in the league in points per game (114.3), first in field goal percentage (48.5%), and eighth in total rebounds per game (46.1). The Lakers surrender 106.9 points per contest (3<sup>rd</sup> in the league) on 44.4% shooting from the field (6<sup>th</sup>) and 34.2% from beyond the arc.

<strong>The Bets</strong>

The Lakers are playing in a better form than the Rockets, and I expect them to do a much better defensive job than they did in the previous meeting with the Rockets. You never know with Mike D’Antoni’s team, but the Lakers’ inside game should be a key factor. Therefore, I suggest you take the Lakers to cover. Also, you can buy a few points and take the hosts as 4-point favorites at slightly lower wages. The Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games, while the Rockets are 0-5 in their previous five outings.

When it comes to the totals, I would go with the over, but the Lakers to cover are still my first choice. The Rockets love to push the ball in transition, playing at the fourth-fastest pace in the league. The over has hit in 11 of the last 15 meetings between the Rockets and Lakers including one of their previous two encounters this season.
