The Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors made waves at the trade deadline with blockbuster moves. Dallas got Anthony Davis in exchange for Luka Doncic in a less than popular deal with Mavs fans. Making things worse AD got hurt in his first game and could miss several weeks. Not a good turn of events for a club looking to rise from a play-in spot. The Warriors feel like lottery winners getting Jimmy Butler for minimal assets. The Dubs won their first two games with Butler in the lineup befo...
The Los Angeles Lakers got a boost acquiring Luka Doncic in a massive trade at the deadline. It was reported before the All-Star break that Doncic would take the time to work on his conditioning, which was an area of concern for his former team. Just how much of an impact Doncic will have remains to be seen but he and his new mates get a chance to show off on Saturday when LA visits the scorching hot Denver Nuggets for a primetime matchup on ABC. The game is scheduled to tip at 8:30 p.m. ET from...
At the onset of the season, expectations for the New York Knicks were sky-high. New York is a legacy NBA franchise with a global following. However, it has not won an NBA title since 1973. Thus, any time that the Knicks show any signs of life, gamblers tend to overreact. The Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t nearly as popular as the Knicks. But they produce more wins and more profits for gamblers. Cleveland continues to be ignored by the casual sector. As a result, the Cavaliers continue to provide NBA...

The Golden State Warriors visit the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night in a game that can be seen on ESPN. Both of these teams look different than they did a week ago, as the Warriors went out and made a big trade to bring in Jimmy Butler, while the Mavericks shocked nearly everyone by trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers for Anthony Davis. It should be noted that Davis is not expected to play in this game due to injury. Golden State is playing their fifth game in a long seven-game road trip and t...
The Oklahoma City Thunder has printed money this season with a remarkable profit margin on the NBA board. The Thunder are a tremendously balanced full-court team. OKC has plenty of scoring and the best defense in the NBA. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has emerged as a legitimate superstar. Despite all of that going for them, Oklahoma City is largely ignored by the masses. All things considered, Wise Guys would not have it any other way. An elite team that squares ignore significantly adds to the betti...
The NBA betting week begins in utter turmoil with one of the biggest trades in a generation. The Dallas Mavericks are sending Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis.

The San Antonio Spurs visit the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night in a game that can be seen on ESPN. It is somewhat surprising that ESPN is televising this contest, as neither team is playing well.

When the season started, the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets faced plenty of questions. Both teams were considered capable of potential hidden board value. On the other hand, the Grizzlies and Rockets were unproven brands to future market speculators. Last year, Memphis was a disaster without the services of Ja Morant. Now that Morant is back, the Grizzlies are again a competitive team. Houston is coming off a season where it showed improvement. Ironically, the Grizzlies will host the Rock...
The Denver Nuggets visit the New York Knicks on Wednesday night in a game that can be seen on ESPN. It should be an excellent matchup between teams with nearly identical records.

The Knicks have been a pleasant surprise in the East this season, as they come into this game in third place in the conference.

When the 2024-25 NBA season began, the San Antonio Spurs looked like a team that would miss the playoffs. Second-year star Victor Wembanyama looked like he could have one of the most disappointing careers in NBA history. His supporting cast looked to be nonexistent. But in recent weeks, the Spurs have found a new gear and are one of the hottest brands on the NBA board. San Antonio is currently in a play-in spot with plenty of time to gain a regular playoff position. On Wednesday night, Wembanyam...

The Timberwolves are also playing well, as they come into this contest having won six of their last seven, and they also haven’t played since Sunday when they beat San Anton...
After a brutal start to the season the Milwaukee Bucks have turned things around winning six games in a row to get over .500.
