Friday's NBA Playoffs and Bodog Betting Odds

Tonight, the first round of the NBA playoffs continues with three exciting match-ups. Here’s a brief look at each, along with the current odds from Bodog sportsbook. If you‘ve never used Bodog before, why not give it a try? And remember - they also have an online casino that‘s second to none.

PISTONS VS. 76ERS

The series moves to the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, as the teams split the two games at The Palace in Auburn Hills. Game four will be played on Sunday. Detroit evened the series on Wednesday with five Pistons in double figures and a 105-88 drubbing. This is the Sixers’ first postseason visit since the 2004-2005 season, while the Pistons have made the Eastern Conference finals five years in a row.

According to Bodog, the current odds are:

Detroit Pistons (-5 ½) @ Philadelphia 76ers (+5 ½)

HORNETS VS. MAVERICKS

After their first-round choke job last year in the playoffs, is it any real surprise that the Mavs are down 2-0 against the Hornets? Neither game has been close, and the last was a 127-103 win in New Orleans. The series now moves back to Dallas, and you can probably expect the Mavericks to at least keep from getting swept. Still, the Hornets are hungry, so that +6 is looking mighty tempting.

New Orleans Hornets (+6) @ Dallas Mavericks (-6)

SPURS VS. SUNS

The Phoenix Suns are certainly the more exciting team to watch, so you can bet that the dull-as-hell Spurs will win the series. And they’re well on their way to doing so, having built a 2-0 lead in the series. In the last game, the Spurs won 102-96 thanks to 32 points from Tony Parker and 28 from the NBA Sixth Man of the Year, Manu Ginobili. If the Suns are going to make a comeback, it has to start tonight at the US Airways Center.

San Antonio Spurs (+7) @ Phoenix Suns (-7)
