NBA Handicapping
NBA bettors cashing in on Kings and PacersRegardless of the sport, it's not very often a player trade benefits both teams. Typically, the player on one side of a trade will benefit their new team, while the player on the other side will have little effect if not hurt their new team. Occasionally, a trade will fail to benefit either team. Every once in awhile, however, a trade will have a positive effect on both teams. Such appears to be the case with the Ron Artest-Peja Stojakovic swap which took place in January. Since acquiring Artest, the Sacramento Kings have gone 11-7 straight up (SU) and are closing in on the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Artest's positive impact is also putting smiles on the faces of bettors - those betting on the Kings have gone 12-5-1 against the spread (ATS). That's a winning percentage of 67 percent. Artest has quickly established himself as a valuable component of the Kings' offense averaging 17.1 ppg, second-most on the team. His well-known defensive skills have also been a factor - the 6-foot-7 small forward leads the team in steals with 2.4 per game. The big question mark, however, is whether Artest will be able to keep his head straight and not get into any trouble during the stretch drive of the regular season. The Indiana Pacers, meanwhile, have been enjoying success despite the absence of leading scorer Jermaine O'Neal, who has been out with a groin tear. A big part of that success can be attributed to Stojakovic. The 6-foot-10 small forward is averaging 19.7 ppg, second on the team behind O'Neal (20.9). Since Stojakovic joined the team, the Pacers have gone 9-6 SU and are in the thick of the playoff race. Those placing wagers on Indiana have also been cashing in thanks to the big Yugoslavian. In the 15 games he has played, the Pacers are 11-3-1 ATS. That's a winning percentage of 73 percent. Both the Pacers and the Kings are now among the top ATS teams in the NBA. As of Wednesday, Indiana was 31-23-3 ATS, which is the third-best betting record in the league. The Kings are 31-28-1 ATS, the eighth-best record.
