NBA - S. Kings v Charlotte

30 January 2010

Preview By Tipster Jumbo (New Zealand)

When is this going to stop on here with the NBA Betting?? I’ve been fucking shit on here all season long but off here….. We should of got the Dallas Game and didn’t, the first quarter in the Lakers/76ers game let us down today and the Bulls did get up, I had a few other bets so no losses but come on Jumbo, for Fucks sake………(Yeah, I know I swear a lot, You read me you should know that!!.... Besides the way I’m going this season I bet you swear a lot to, At Me!! )…Oh yeah that’s right, I forgot… “Thanks Saints”

Anyways here’s a couple for today, One has Odds the other won’t you can find them tomorrow as I will be doing, But I like the Bet anyway, It’s not this one it’s the other on the Heat/Bucks game.

The Bobcats are on a 6 Game road trip and on the road had only had 3 wins on their season, now it’s 5 with two on the trot against the Warriors and Suns, Meanwhile the Kings are going through a bad shooting stage right now and have lost 13 of their last 15 matches, but they have a great record against the Bobcats something has got to give here….

The Kings started this season great at home winning 10 of their first 13, but have lost 6 of their last 9 when playing at home and have won only one of their last 5 matches overall, Things are not looking good for the Kings and their last loss really was bad going down 101-94 to the Jazz who didn’t have Williams or Boozer in their side for the match, the Kings lost 101-94. The Kings have lost 13 of 15 and the two wins they did have the sides they best in the Warriors and Nuggets were missing key players, but they can score and when Martin starts to fit into this team more after missing a large part of the beginning to this season and players like Hawes and Evens can play well with him they could easily find their winning touch again, Martin had 33 against the Jazz and Evans 25, but no one else really helped out at all which is disappointing as they do have some players in their ranks who can score freely when on song, Especially Hawes.

Charlotte at 23-22 on their season is tied with Chicago for seventh in the Eastern Conference and on recent play do look good enough to make the Play Offs this season, they are 18-5 at home and look very strong there, their road form is the worry at 5-19, However 2 wins over the Warriors 121-110 and Suns 114-109 after coming from behind to force OT and they could be on the verge of finally finding form on the road, Jackson is really giving the Bobcats some hope with some great shooting performances and he has gone for 30 in the Bobcats last two matches, Jackson has never scored 30 in 3 straight games though, but he might have a good chance at doing that tonight against this Kings outfit, The Bobcats have gone 20-16 since he arrived and the Bobcats as a team have gone from averaging 82 points in their matches to 98 ppg now. Add in a great supporting cast led by Gerald Wallace who had 30 points and 13 rebounds against the Warriors for his 23rd double-double and scoring for them is really not a problem and really it shouldn’t be tonight either. Wallace has scored 27 or more in the Bobcats last 3 matches against the Kings and should go for the same tonight as Jackson should.

The Bobcats have won 6 of their last 10 against the Kings at any venue and are 6-4 ATS in those last 12 meetings, Total wise and these two sides have been over the Set Total in 6 of their last 10 matches, At Sacramento in the last 4 matches there from those 10 most recent games the Bobcats have won their last match there 98-91 but had lost their previous 3 when playing the Kings at home and the Kings are 3-1 ATS in those matches, Total wise in those last 4 matches played at tonight's venue and only 1 game which was the last one that the Bobcats won fell under 200 points. In fact this total set tonight at 196 has been covered in 9 of their last 10 matches at any venue between these two sides. The Kings at home this season are 12-10 on the overs while the Bobcats are 13-8 on Over the Total when playing away this season.

The Bobcats have scored 90 or more in their last 4 matches and have scored over 100 in their last 2 including the OT win against the Suns, they have allowed though over 100 points in their last 5, On the other side the Kings even with scoring woes have scored over 90 in their last 2 matches and over 90 in 3 of their last 5, however the Kings have allowed 96 or more in their last 5 and over 100 points in 4 of their last 5 matches.

This match looks like a Bobcats win and on recent form I’m not going against them, but the Kings do have some scorers in their side and I reckon they will go OK here tonight, they play a good tempo game and both sides will get a few chances to score in this match with the Bobcats likely getting some good looks on this Kings side, I’m going for the Total rather than the Kings or Bobcats because I do think that is the better option here and I’ll stick with it….Good Luck.
