So to help you with your pro basketball betting decisions we enlisted the help of a top sports handicapper from Mycapper.com to give us Power Rankings of the best five teams (for betting) and the worst five (teams to bet against). here is the list:
1. Boston Celtics 5-0-0 ATS record. A perfect record if you've bet on them this season, so they have to be #1.
2. New Orleans Hornets 5-2-1 ATS. With a glittering ATS record the Hornets have been one of the NBA's best bets.
3. Orlando Magic 5-2 ATS. Another team bringing home the loot if you bet on them.
4. L.A. Clippers 4-2 ATS. A fast start saw them go 4-0. But are they already slowing down?
5. Portland T-Blazers 5-1 ATS. They're only 3-3 SU but look at all those ATS covers!
And now for the 5 worst teams to bet on so far:
1. Golden State Warriors 1-4 ATS. Winless SU (0-5) this team has fallen far and fast.
2. Chicago Bulls 1-5 ATS. This is a better team than their record suggests but for now they're poison to bet on.
3. Indiana Pacers 2-4 ATS. Another heavy defeat at home last night convinces us that this team 'aint for real.
4. San Antonio Spurs 3-4 ATS. When a team is 6-1 SU and costing you money to bet on them they make this list.
5. Detroit Pistons 3-3 ATS. Another team that wins a lot of games SU but cannot cash with enough regularity to show you a profit.
