Stephen Jackson Trade Helps Spurs on NBA Betting Line | IXGAMES
The last time Stephen Jackson was a San Antonio Spurs, the club won their first of three titles in a five-year span. When the swingman suits back up in the familiar colors, veterans Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili will hope they can pick up where they all left off. How does the move affect their NBA odds? According to Bovada’s NBA betting experts, the Spurs have 14/1 odds of winning the championship this year. If successful, it would be their first title since 2007, but the fifth over the span of franchise leader Duncan’s career. In 34-year-old Jackson, Duncan and company welcome a capable small forward with the tenacity to complement the San Antonio system. Where Richard Jefferson underperformed for the past three years, the Spurs are hoping Jackson can shine, providing an alternative source of offense and toughness like before. Though Jackson’s last run with San Antonio was in 2003, he fits the mold of a Spur perhaps better today than ever. Given the constant uncertainty surrounding the aging franchise, his addition will provide an extra source of insurance in the event that injuries strike. This Wednesday, get a taste of what to expect from the Spurs, as they gear up for a final run at NBA odds line supremacy. Ball So Hard.
