NBA on TNT Thursday Betting Report – Jan. 22, This Thursday on TNT’s NBA double-header features a pair of inter-conference matchups between teams that desperately need to start winning games to overcome a less than stellar first half of the regular season. Be sure to check VietBet for the betting odds for both of these contests as the best NBA betting site for US Players.

In the opener, the San Antonio Spurs will go on the road to face the Chicago Bulls. Before the season started, this matchup might have been thought of as a potential preview of this year’s NBA Finals, but neither team has lived up to those lofty expectations either on the court or at the betting window.

The defending champion Spurs are buried in seventh-place in the Western Conference standings with a straight-up record of 27-16 and they have gone an even 21-21-1 against the spread on VietBet’s closing lines. San Antonio has gone on a bit of a run lately with a SU 8-2 record in its last 10 games and it is 4-0 both SU and ATS in its last four outings.

The Bulls have now dropped four of their last five games both SU and ATS to fall to 27-16 with a costly 18-25 record ATS. They have failed to cover in 15 of 22 home games this season and the total has gone OVER in 23 of their 43 games overall.

Thursday’s night-cap is an East Coast/West Coast clash between the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Clippers. The Nets come in with a losing record of 17-24 SU (18-23 ATS) that is still actually good enough to hold down the eighth spot in the watered-down Eastern Conference standings. They have won just twice in their last 10 games (SU and ATS). Heading into Wednesday night’s game against Sacramento, they have been listed as six-point road underdogs on VietBet’s betting odds for this game.

The Clippers are sitting in sixth-place in the West at 28-14 SU, but they have been a nightmare to bet on with a 17-25 record ATS. They continue to try and make a move in the standings with an 8-3 SU record in their last 11 games, while going 5-6 ATS. Los Angeles is 10-15 ATS at home this season and 16-21 ATS as a favorite.
