NBA Betting: Where is the value tonight?

Graham Lewis (Grubber) of The Betfair Canada Betting Blog discusses where the value is in the NBA on Betfair tonight...
If you had managed to trade on Charlotte last night you should have come away with a tidy profit. Odds for the win were very generous before the game.
A note on handicap markets: I often notice that Betfair will offer a slightly better handicap market for example Atlanta was available with a +6.5 points market last night on Betfair, but only a +5.5 market on some other bookmakers which I check. It might not seem a lot, but it means extra value and in some cases the difference between profit and loss.
Today's odds are not looking quite so generous yet, but the markets are still young. I would have liked to have seen more bets we could have sunk out teeth in to, but you may well spot more opportunity as the day goes on. Out of the eleven games on offer at the current odds I will be seeking value from these...
Chicago @ Toronto
Our computer notes that the Raptors just have the edge here, but there is not enough in it for Chicago to be offered at 3.05 (+205) (at time of writing). If I was going to be online during the game I would probably trade on this game, if not then I would put a bet in at slightly higher odds and hope for Chicago's odds to drift out and match the bet during the day.
Detroit @ Indiana
I am going against Detroit for the second day running. I have nothing against them honest! I am looking at Indiana for the win here. I would like slightly better odds than the 2.24 (+124) currently on offer, so this is another one to put a bet in at higher odds and hope it gets matched.
