NBA Best Bets Thursday January 9th
4-1 with a prop sweep 🧹
Last night's battle between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the only two teams in the NBA with 30+ wins, was neck and neck and resulted in 30 lead changes! Cleveland ultimately extended their win streak to 11 games and snapped OKC's at 15.
Despite having a 4-1 day, the lone loss we played was the under 227.5 in this heavyweight fight. Once it turned out to be a -CLV ticket, we took positions on "indirect hedges,” playing good market numbers on Evan Mobley over props to in part work off a bad full game under. In yesterday’s show, the indirect hedge strategy is explored at 25:45 if you want to go back and listen. We were expecting Mobley to make his All-Star case in this game, and he delivered-finishing with 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists. All Star voting was even addressed in his post game interview on the court.
Today, we have yet another 8-game NBA slate, and HOU Rockets ATS emerged as one of the spots we liked. I also like Amen Thompson to exceed 30.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115, DraftKings) as he's averaged 32 PRAs as a starter for the Rockets. I would play this to (-125). Opposing Forwards have also been torching the Grizzlies recently: DeRozan (38 PRAs), Andrew Wiggins (29 PRAs) PJ Washington (32 PRAs).
