When a new season for a sport arrives, handicappers have various must do’s to be ready and prepared. The list of must do’s may be different based on handicapping style - for me its things like understand market moves of every team in preseason priors and futures, or updating my key numbers chart based on previous results. But there is one that has to become universal for all bettors - updating your sources to get important information as fast as possible.
When the NFL season kicked off, I sent out a list of beat writers for every NFL team. Here is the NBA version. I advise following everyone on this list below and probably making a twitter list including all of these beats. The accounts are hyperlinked and directly clickable, you’re welcome 😉.
My newsletter is completely free, please send this list/post to a friend who also bets the NBA and encourage them to sign up. The best way to support my work is to share it!
**ONE MORE THING! If you see something you think is actionable in the first ~10 minutes of it being tweeted out, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! DM ME ON TWITTER! I have notifications on for DMs, but not every single beat writer. It takes a team to properly cap and beat the NBA. As the great Troy Bolton said in the fantastic movie High School Musical, “We’re all in this together,” so reach out to me when something flags your attention!**
