May 9 - This year's NBA Playoffs feature eight quality teams and have created plenty of basketball betting buzz, which is good news for a league that was tarnished by last year's referee gambling scandal. The most recent odds update shows that the Boston Celtics and the L.A. Lakers are the co-favorites to win the 2008 NBA Championship, both at 3/2 in the betting.

The Lakers are up 2-0 in their series with the Utah Jazz and Game 3 is later tonight. We've got a free pick for this one from Mycapper.com, the only sports handicapping service that we endorse at the Insider.
Free NBA Pick: Lakers at Jazz - Bet on the UNDER for total points
"There's an inflated line for this game based on the points-fest in Game 2, which resulted in an easy Over win for our clients. The market has reacted by upping the total for Game 3 to 215.5 points but our database suggests that the correct number should only be 209 combined points. The reason for this is that the Jazz will play superior defense at home and the tempo should be a lot slower. Take the UNDER here."
The best value in the NBA Futures betting market has to be the Hornets, who look very impressive yet are still trading at 9/2 to win. They have to get past the Spurs and the Lakers in the brutal West, but they're certainly the dark horse team this year.
