Filed under: Articles, Betting Previews — Tags: , , — admin @ 10:52 pm

If Houston wins as expected at home on Wednesday against Indiana they will be coming into Dallas on a 16 game winning streak.  That is where they streak may stop since the Mavericks have the second best home record in the NBA at 25-3.  What will help the Rockets is that Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki will not play on Thursday as he will be serving a one game suspension for his flagrant foul against Utah’s Andrei Kirilenko on Monday. SBGGlobal reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Rockets on the Road.

Dallas has been playing the top teams in the Western Conference tough but has nothing to show for it except losses.  Dallas had fourth quarter leads against San Antonio, the Lakers and Utah, but lost all three games.  “It’s obviously a little frustrating,” Dirk Nowitzki said. “We’d love to win those games.”  The Mavericks have a favorable schedule this month.  They play nine of their next ten games at home.

NCAA Basketball - Indiana at Michigan State

Two of the top four teams in the Big 10 meet on Sunday when Michigan State hosts Indiana.  Both teams are still in the hunt for the Big 10 title although Indiana is the team that may have the best chance.  The Spartans are tough at home, having won 20 straight home games dating back to last year. This season, the Spartans are a perfect 17-0 at home, averaging 76.3 points and 49.7 percent shooting. During Tom Izzo’s career as head coach, the Spartans are 179-22 (.891) at home, including 156-13 (.923) over the last 11 years.

The Hoosiers defeated Michigan State handily earlier this season, winning by 19 points at Assembly Hall.  Indiana forward D.J. White knows that win means nothing on Sunday. “You have to throw that one away. We did the same thing last year. We beat them pretty bad at home and then went up there and gave it away. We need to be more focused going into this game and just forget about beating them pretty good here. Forget about it and just play.” It will not be an easy game for the Hoosiers and it will be their first road test under new head coach Dan Dakich. “They have really good players and a really good coach, and it starts with that. I think, first and foremost, what coach Izzo has done there is one of the truly great stories over the last 15 years or so in college basketball.” Dakich said, “Those two things, the players he has recruited and the way he has gone about coaching makes it difficult (to play up there). It’s difficult to play Michigan State up there and it’s difficult to play Michigan State here. Michigan State is one of the elite programs in America, so that makes it hard. And they have a great facility with great fans. So you combine all those and that makes them pretty good.”

The Hoosiers are led by Eric Gordon and D.J. White who both average over 20 points per game.  The Spartans are led Raymar Morgan who averages just over 15 points per game.  The Hoosiers are 8-2 on the road this season while the Spartans are 17-0 at home.

Sunday’s game is a huge one for the Hoosiers if they want to win the Big 10 Championship.  The may have to win their final three games to take the regular season title. “That’s our focus. Our focus is you control what you can control,” Dakich said, “There are not a lot of teams that are competing and can control their own destiny for a championship, there’s just not. And we are one of those teams that can, so as we go through this in our preparation, that’s what our focus is. How this all plays out remains to be seen, but that is our focus.”
