NBA Odds + Betting Picks

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Portland Trail Blazers: POR -3.5 (-110)

This Clippers opened as four-point favorites in this one, and we’ve had massive line movement with Kawhi Leonard resting. The Clippers aren’t necessarily punting this game, but clearly won’t be giving it their all. Meanwhile, Damian Lillard and the Blazers are on a mission for the final playoff seed in the west — going 3-1 straight up, and 3-0-1 ATS. After laying down and going 0-4 to start bubble play, the Grizzlies finally got a win on Friday, so the Blazers need to keep their foot on the gas here.

The obvious issue is the number for this game will constantly be on the move until it tips off at 1 p.m. ET. I’m not as comfortable with laying anything more than -3 here, unless the Clippers rule out anymore key pieces prior to tip. So hopefully you pounced on this one early when news broke. However, make sure you use the OddsShopper to find the best place to bet this one, as there’s still time to find a decent number. As I write this, there’s still some 3.5s on the board, and some decent ML prices. If OddsShopper NBA odds shows Portland at -140 or better at any book, I’d just forget about the points and play the ML.

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Indiana Pacers: IND +7 (EV)

*Read about this play before betting. Injuries come into play on if we fire on it or not, and we also may target a better number.

This is another one that we have to follow up until tipoff, but there could be value on the Pacers. LeBron James and Anthony Davis have both been ruled in, which should help us get a larger number on the Pacers. I’m interested in betting Indy at a large enough number as a dog, but I need to make sure TJ Warren and Myles Turner play — both are questionable as of Saturday morning. If they’re in, I want the Pacers plus the points, and you’ll want to act quickly. Indy was 3-0 SU and ATS in its first three, and fell to the red-hot Suns in its last contest. The Lakers are off consecutive losses, and have nothing to play for with the top-seed wrapped up. This could be a situation where LeBron and AD are very limited and the Pacers steal this game late (if healthy), still playing for seeding in the east.

So again, whatever number OddsShopper is listing for the NBA odds as I write this probably isn’t what I’ll wind up playing it at. Hoping for an even bigger number, which is why it’s important to follow along on the current NBA odds, and pounce on the right number on the right book when the time is right — and if Warren and Turner are out, this could also be a pass. If everything does set up right, use OddsShopper to potentially find the best place to put a sprinkle on Pacers ML. I could see the Lakers pulling the starters late.

Phoenix Suns vs. Miami Heat: PHX -1.5 (EV)

With the Raptors getting blown out by the Celtics on Friday night, you could argue the 4-0 SU/ATS Phoenix Suns are the hottest team in the bubble right now. The Heat came out looking fantastic against the Bucks, building a 22-point lead without Jimmy Butler and Goran Dragic, but we know what happened next. Not only did Miami lose, but failed to cover +9.5 in the game … absolutely gross for Heat backers like myself. But this isn’t just betting against Miami out of spite, the Suns have been legit, and that hangover from falling apart against Milwaukee should be real for the Heat. Butler remains out for this one, and Dragic’s status is up in the air.

I was eyeing the -120 ML in this spot, but if PointsBet is going to offer us those even NBA odds on this spread, it’s tough not to just go for the -1.5. Generally with a spread this small I always go ML, but the PB promo changes by mind here.
