Must Save NBA Dates

With the NBA being the global brand it has become and with the league filled with many excellent foreign born players some of which will one day have busts in Springfield. The NBA starts its 38th year with NBA global pre season games and the NBA Canada series to promote the league abroad. This year pre season the NBA Global is sending teams to play in Madrid, Calgary, Barcelona, Shanghai and Beijing. And during the regular season on January 12 the Suns and Mavericks play in Mexico City and the Nuggets and Pacers play in London. Finishing up NBA Global for the year will be Suns and Mavericks on Jan 14 in Mexico City. Through the years we have taken advantage of many of these contests and have a tremendous winning percentage betting over/under as the totals are often easy money and blowout winners . Sometimes these games take on an offensive nature for several reasons and go way over the point spread total.

This years 2016-2017 NBA preseason ends on October 21 and the opening day rosters will be set on Monday October 24, with NBA Tip-Off 2016 taking place Tuesday, October 25 with three games on tap, the first of which will be the New York Knicks traveling to Cleveland to take on LeBron James and the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers also on opening night are the Utah Jazz visiting the Portland Trailblazers and the San Antonio Spurs at Golden State, which very well might be a preview of the western conference finals. And although the NBA itch might be there and you want to make a wager and feel like you cant lose and the game is guaranteed money and will be a blowout against the spread. We, as an organization committed to winning will not have any big NBA predictions opening night and probably for the first week as it will be the heart of the NFL and college football seasons and MLB playoffs and World Series will be taking place the first week of the NBA season as well so we will be mostly spectating until each team has a few games under their belt. By this time the baseball season is over and our focus is on winning NBA and college basketball information along with winning NFL and college football information.
