Sure, NFL betting will grab the headlines during Thanksgiving weekend, but there’s plenty of NBA to bet on too. Here are some intriguing matchups to consider for Friday.
San Antonio Spurs @ Houston Rockets
Friday, November 27, 8:30 p.m. ET
It’s been an odd start for the Spurs, considered serious championship contenders by many sports betting sharps entering the season. They’ve sputtered to a 7-6 record despite boasting one of the NBA’s deepest rosters. A big reason for their slow start is injuries, as it seems one of Tim Duncan or Manu Ginobli always has some kind of malady. Another reason is their relaxed approach; they’re confident enough in their playoff chances that Gregg Popovich isn’t pushing his starters too hard early on.
While the Spurs have won three straight, those wins all came at home. Strangely enough, San Antonio is 0-4 on the road this year. I do, however, think they end that slump in Houston on Friday. The Rockets are playing well enough without Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming – Trevor Ariza is earning his keep so far – but they aren’t beating anyone important aside from their one victory over the Lakers. Usually, the Dallases and San Antonios of the world handle the depleted Rockets. Shane Battier can’t cover everyone so I like the Spurs to wake up and win on Friday.

New Jersey Nets @ Sacramento Kings
Friday, November 27, 10:00 p.m. ET
The sports betting world is a funny place in that it ignores bad teams but suddenly becomes interested in really bad teams. Take the New Jersey Nets. They’re 0-15, two losses away from tying the NBA record for worst-ever start to a season. That makes for exciting betting as we sit their wondering if “this is the game” the finally win or if they have a date with dubious history.
It’s safe to say New Jersey’s trip to Sacramento is the last chance to avoid humiliation. If the Nets lose, they go to Los Angeles for Game 16 (loss) and host Dallas for Game 17 (probably a loss). They probably know this and will thus give their best effort of the season on Friday night.
There’s plenty to like about Sacramento’s start, as Kevin Martin is exploding into stardom and Tyreke Evans looks like a player too (though he turns over the ball a ton). But the Kings can be had. They allow 105.4 points per game, the sixth-worst mark in the league. With Devin Harris likely starting and Courtney Lee’s minutes coming back up, the Nets are getting healthier. Look for them to end the misery and win a hard-fought road game this Friday. Make them your sports picks.
