NBA Best Bets Saturday January 4th
Still rolling in 2025!
Last night the Knicks' 9-game win streak ends with a 117-107 loss to the Thunder. OKC on the other side extends their win streak to 14 straight! NYK led 66-54 at halftime but OKC outscored them 37-19 to close out the 4th quarter. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 33 points and continues his MVP quest this season.
Meanwhile, our WHOP Bet, Karl Towns Over 15.5 Reb + Asts easily cashes at 10:40 in the 3rd quarter. We went +0.77 units in the WHOP tonight, making it a +6.8u run in the last 4, and +15.2u over the previous 30!
Here was the dagger play in Knicks @ Thunder, an Aaron Wiggins above the break 3 pointer to ice it. I love Jalen Williams reaction under the hoop where he immediately starts flexing to the crowd because his teammate hit a big shot. Fun fact: Aaron Wiggins and Andrew Wiggins are not related.
Here are the links to the The Advantage Sports Betting Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify: The 10am ET daily live show is uploaded to the podcast feed within 30 minutes of wrapping up. Our Friday episodes tend to get a little fun and sometimes leave gambling and enter just the NBA fan space—this week, we played Jimmy Butler's press conference clip and ranked the top five trade destinations for Jimmy Buckets. The Jimmy Butler press conference and trade conversations starts at 1:05:10 if you simply want to skip to that.
One Best Bet for Saturday NBA is Karl-Anthony Towns over 24.5 Points (-105). We love the angry Knicks to cover the spread and pounce on the Bulls tomorrow. CHI is 4th in Points Allowed to Opposing Centers for the season. KAT had 46 in their last outing and we expect +CLV on this number as some 25.5s are already showing in some books. KAT should be in for a dominant night against Vucevic yet again. Is Big Purr emerging as the best player on the Knicks (I think yes!)
If you are interested in getting all of my picks in real time in a locked text chat, use this Whop Picks button above to access the store page.
The cost is $100/month. HOWEVER, I offer $50 of that back in the first month simply for leaving a review, AND I give account credit for an entire free month if we ever do have a losing month. I try and make it as “risk-free” as any package in the sports betting space. I have a high degree of confidence in myself and historically the results speak for themselves!
