There are many issues with the Bulls. But one of the biggest is they’ve lost all benefit of the doubt because of their maddeningly inconsistent play earlier this season. Because of that, the fact they’ve been decimated by injuries is easily overlooked.... 

A pair of Western Conference power teams will match-up Wednesday when the Los Angeles Clippers host the Oklahoma City Thunder. Plenty of scoring is expected making live betting at BookMaker the place to be with back-and-forth action and plenty of opportunities to wager and win.... 

The Warriors and Thunder will each be playing their third game in four nights when they tip-off Saturday in primetime. The two will meet again at Oracle next week, giving Oklahoma City a chance to prove if they are contenders to Golden State’s Western Conference throne.... 

The Grizzlies amassed a season-high point total Wednesday in their 128-119 win over the Lakers. The teams tip it off again Friday at Staples Center to complete their home-and-home set. Memphis goes for a ninth straight win over LA and hasn’t trailed at any point in two games against them this season.... 

The last time Atlanta won a game, the Hawks were parading around the United Center floor following a 113-90 thumping of the Bulls. That was over two weeks ago prior to the All-Star break. The Hawks are 0-3 SU and ATS since.... 

Atlanta has had a rough go of it since the All-Star Break, losing three straight home games to fall behind Miami in the race to win the Southeast Division. The Hawks need to break that streak and hope to get a win Friday night when they host the Chicago Bulls.... 

In a bubble, the Oklahoma City Thunder should be really proud of themselves. They've already gotten to 40 wins, and they're going to clearly reach the playoffs as the Northwest Division winners with the third best record in the Western Conference. However, they've had a few really sobering losses over the course of the last month, and a second loss in a span of three weeks against the Golden State Warriors would probably only further cement the fact that they're miles away from really grabbing a championship any time in the near future.... 

The Oklahoma City Thunder lost their first two games out of the break, the first time they suffered consecutive defeats since early December. They will try to return to their winning ways against the New Orleans Pelicans, who they drubbed by 26 points in the final game before the All-Star hiatus.... 

Playing the Rockets for the third time in a span of seven games, Portland goes for the hat trick Thursday. The Blazers knocked off Houston by double-digits in each of those two wins, covering both times as part of their 5-1 ATS run.... 

The Memphis Grizzlies have officially shut down Marc Gasol for the rest of the season, but their news isn't all bad.

They've got seven straight games coming up in which they'll be favored, including Friday night's road clash against the Los Angeles Lakers.... 

Anthony Davis is coming off the most impressive game of any NBA player all season. Not only did The Brow drop 59 points and 20 rebounds, but he also knocked down 24 of his 34 shots from the floor and effectively carried the Pelicans on his back to get a win. Now Davis will get to try his luck against one of the best frontcourts in the game when the Pelicans host the Oklahoma City Thunder.... 

Just last week we started typing up the obituary for the 2015-16 Bulls. A loss to Cleveland after the break was their fifth straight and they were free-falling out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Now, Chicago hosts Washington on Wednesday in hopes of extending its win streak to three games – something the Bulls haven’t done since the second week of 2016.... 

With a homestand against three of the top teams in the Western Conference coming up, Sacramento coach George Karl is probably wishing the team let him go during the break. Following Wednesday’s matchup with the Spurs, the Kings host the Clippers and Thunder to close out their home stay.... 

Twice already this month, these two teams have squared off and twice, the Trail Blazers have not only beaten Houston, but covered the spread as well.You can bet on NBA odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season.... 

The Bulls finally got back in the win column on Friday, topping Toronto 116-106 on a handful of strong performances, none more noticeable than Doug McDermott’s 30-point outburst. Chicago could use a win streak, but it was the Wizards that got the win when these teams last met in January.... 

Almost quietly, the Sacramento Kings have crept around at the back end of the NBA playoff picture in the Western Conference. It's still going to take a really good run to get into meaningful May basketball, and an upset in a game like this one on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs certainly would help matters out.... 

It’s too late in the season, but at least New Orleans is starting to play good basketball. With wins in four of their last five, the Pelicans are no longer a threat to the Lakers for the worst record in the Western Conference. The Pels also have two wins in their last three road games and go for the season sweep of the Wizards on Tuesday.... 

Two teams headed in opposite directions will square off in the Rose City when the Blazers host the Nets. Portland has won 10 of 11 with a 32-point blowout of Golden State included, while the Nets haven’t won in their last six away games.... 

The Los Angeles Clippers shook things up a little bit at the trade deadline knowing they had to make a move to try to put themselves over the top in the West. The Clippers rolled the dice by dealing Lance Stephenson and a first rounder to the Grizzlies for Jeff Green who has always seemed to have more potential than he showed on the court. LA's first test with Green in the lineup is a doozy, a home tilt against Golden State.... 

The Bulls have a couple games to get back on track before Sunday, but right now, Chicago is struggling and an easy matchup against the Lakers is a bit of a gift. Over their last seven games, the Bulls have tallied just one win.... 

The only teams in the Association to win at least 60 games last season, the Warriors and Hawks will meet for the first time in 2015-16 on Monday. The teams split the series last season with each winning on its home floor and will complete this year’s series in the span of nine days.... 

After opening the post-break portion of their schedule with games against the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, the Bulls get a breather when they host the lowly Lakers. Chicago blasted LA 114-91 when the clubs met at Staples Center back on Jan. 28.... 

Two championship contenders could light up the scoreboard when the Cavaliers and Thunder meet for the second time this season. OKC is the second-highest scoring team in the NBA while the Cavs have improved their offensive output since a coaching change last month.... 

One of Golden State’s losses this season came in the second game of a back-to-back, and that’s what the Dubs are faced with after a contest in Portland on Friday. The Clippers will try to take advantage of that situation. But playing on consecutive days hasn’t bothered the Warriors the other 12 times.... 

Fresh off his second consecutive All-Star Game MVP performance, Russell Westbrook looks to guide the Thunder to victory opening the post-break portion of their schedule. OKC goes for its 10th straight home win when the Pacers visit for a nationally televised game....
