It's not often that we get a nothing-burger of an NBA slate, but last night definitely served us a juicy one. When 4 of the 5 lines open with 11+ point spreads it's going to be hard to find value. Sometimes you gotta know when to just take a night. That said, we made two small plays with an under play on the total in Knicks @ Nets game with an addition small prop play on Cam Johnson under on points. Both came through for a total of +.6u for the WHOP.
TONIGHT is the exact opposite - a high volume betting card with some great games in store as well. We've got Cade versus Trae, Celtics first time at the Intuit Dome, Durant visiting his old Brooklyn “home”, and a clash of titans in New Orleans between Giannis and Zion! That's the game at the top of my watch-list tonight, provided Zion is a go — line movement indicates he is.
We've also have the Antman and his pack coming into Dallas to take on a still Luka-less Mavs squad that has been struggling of late. Dallas has lost 4 of the last 5 with the one win coming against the Thunder who were without SGA on the second night of a back-to-back in that one (still mildly impressive actually). We gave out Wolves -1.5 for .8u in as a WHOP position shortly after the market opened. Though it has moved to -2 and even -2.5 as of writing, I still think there is room for this line to move further towards the Wolves and I love the spot from a basketball perspective. I would still recommend taking the -2 for whatever amount you're comfortable with up to our position of 0.8 units. Best Bet: Wolves ATS.
That's just one of FOURTEEN (yes you read that right) bets we've made already in the WHOP. If you're still not over there, check it out using the button above. It is $100 a month, we offer $50 back simply for leaving a review, and if we ever have a losing month you get the next month free because we refuse to let you pay for losing picks. No BS, just good market reads/picks that gain CLV the majority of the time. There's a great community chat with a lot of sharp gambling minds giving out great advice, injury updates, schedule spots and more that add value as well. This month there have been already 165 bets given out and a return north of +15.5units.
