TNT Thursday Double-Header

Boston Celtics @ Los Angeles Lakers

NBA Betting Line: NO LINE YET

The Boston Celtics have been coming undone at the seams and they are going to feel some pressure now that one of their biggest challengers has made a big move.

The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired Antawn Jamison on Wednesday and are now in very good position to win an NBA Championship. Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics are just 5-5 in their last 10 games and appear to be having some problems in the locker room.

The bad news for them is they have to travel to the Staples Center and the reigning NBA Champions, who beat them on their home court just a couple of weeks ago.

The Lakers are rolling right now and should get star guard Kobe Bryant back in the lineup on Thursday. They haven’t had many problems without him and they should get a boost with him.

Considering how the two teams have been heading in different directions recently, the Lakers should get another win over their arch rivals.

NBA Betting Pick: Lakers

Denver Nuggets @ Cleveland Cavaliers

Sportsbetting.com Odds (Sportsbetting.com Reviews): Cavaliers -6

We’ll see another episode of the Carmelo Anthony-LeBron James show on Thursday as the Cavaliers and Nuggets meet up in Cleveland.

As mentioned, the Cavs acquired Jamison on Wednesday, which now adds the tally to Shaquille O’Neal, Anthony Parker and Jamario Moon to a team that lost in the Eastern Conference Championship last eyar.

The Cavs are absolutely loaded at every position and choosing to acquire Jamison instead of Amare Stoudemire will prove to be the right move. Jamison is more of a team player and a leader whereas Stoudemire has been a player that has looked out for himself a little bit in the past.

This is now a scary collection of talent when you look at the Cavs roster. They have Mo Williams, James, Jamison, O’Neal and although they traded away Zyrdunas Ilgauskas, he will likely get bought out and come back to Cleveland.

The Nuggets are a good team and also a contender for a championship but they are not the same away as they are at home. The Cavaliers will look to put their new roster on display and get a big win in front of their home fans with their new weapon. They’ll get the win and cover.

Pick: Cavaliers -6
