Basketball is finally back in our lives full time. I have slowly been betting college hoops and sharing my plays with a few people. It has gone well, but I need to make these public for full transparency. I will not be counting those that I already have given out since; I did not post them publicly for everyone to see.
Last night was the NBA appetizer and tonight is the main course. There are thirteen games tonight! If you have not done so, you should be joining us over on Numberball.com to use the optimizer and read the daily rundown. If there is one sport, you for sure need to look at projections in order to play DFS it is the NBA. One small injury could alter a team’s minute distribution or rotations and make certain players significantly more valuable.
I must say that for the first big slate of NBA games, the odds boosts are weak. I am not sure what I expected, but it was a lot more than this. Draft Kings has one boost everyone must bet the max available. While Fan Duel has an interesting money line parlay boost, the news that James Harden may have to sit for his extra-curricular activities make it easy to avoid that situation.
NBA Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
Draft Kings
Joel Embiid over 7.5 point in the first Sixers game +100.
This has a max bet of $25, but is free money. His actual prop should be somewhere in the mid to high twenties.
For today, I am looking into a few games.
NCAAB
UNC Wilmington -19 (12 PM)
I have had success betting against bad teams recently. Due to Covid and travel, many teams are playing some bottom feeders and blowouts have become pretty routine. I am expecting the same here. Delaware State is 0-3 losing by 60, 26, and 28 points. This feels like another blowout incoming.
Washington State -17.5 (5 PM)
Same as the game above. Northwestern State is 1-9 and lost by 20+ in five of their losses. NWST’s last four games have seen them lose by 27, 27, 38, and 17.
NBA
Charlotte -2 @ Cleveland
Charlotte was a lot better and competitive last year than I expected. While they split their two games last year, the Hornets got significantly better. I cannot say the same about the Cavs.
Milwaukee -3.5 @ Boston
When the Celtics beat the Bucks last year their leading scorer was Kemba Walker. Now, Walker is hurt, Gordon Hayward is gone and the Celtics are just not as good as last year. I think the Bucks will be very good and I could see the Celtics struggling to start without Kemba Walker. Two road favorites tonight, this should go well.
