Pistons + Red Wings: Best Bets + Player Props Including Blake Griffin | Michigan Online Sports Betting

It’s a good day to be a sports fan in the Wolverine state. Michigan sports betting is going live now, and multiple sportsbooks across the state will be available online business for residents and visitors alike. All you need is to be at least 21 years of age and physically located in the state to place a wager. In this article, I want to focus on a few features of OddsShopper by Awesemo.com, the No. 1 place to find the best betting lines on the market. We’ll then use them to identify two player prop bets I’m bullish on from your home state’s teams. Let’s go win some money together.

Introduction to OddsShopper

Before you make your first bet, it’s important to know that odds will not always be the same at every site. By signing up for more than one sportsbook, you can take advantage of discrepancies between price and/or point spreads across the industry to make more profitable wagers. And with the help of OddsShopper by Awesemo.com, the work of finding the best price is already done for you. Take a look at the lines for Sunday’s NFL Conference Championship games below:

With the help of OddsShopper, finding the best line at the available sportsbooks in your state is done for you. Using the line listed underneath “Best Bets” ensures you’re getting the ultimate bang for you buck. So if you’re interested in wagering on the Bills in Arrowhead this Sunday, BetMGM has a +3.5 available to you as opposed to only +3. Similarly, if you were interested in the Packers side, where the disparity between -3 available only on FanDuel and the -3.5 at the other sites can be massive, make that bet at FanDuel’s sportsbook. Always find the best price, and you’ll never be at a disadvantage to the house.

Player Prop Bets: Blake Griffin, Dylan Larkin and more!

In the same way you can bet on games, you can bet the over or under on individual player performances. Anticipate a quarterback throwing for a bunch of passing yards? There’s a line listed for that. How about a certain NHL player to score the first goal of their game? You guessed it — there’s a line for that, too.

Let’s take a look at a few scoring lines for the Detroit Pistons on BetMGM for Friday, the first Michigan sportsbook that’s offering player props to wager on:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you felt like Jerami Grant could keep up the torrid pace he’s on scoring the basketball, the over of 23.5 points makes for a decent bet at -125 odds. Or if you think Blake Griffin will struggle against P.J. Tucker and the likes of the Rockets’ defense, the under on 14.5 for -105 would be the way to go. It’s that simple.

Player Prop Bets to Target for Friday

Mason Plumlee OVER 8.5 Points (-105)

The Detroit Pistons aren’t likely to be favored in too many games this season, but they enter tonight as 4-point favorites against the Rockets at home. The main reason for that spread is the Rockets’ emerging star Christian Wood was already ruled out, making way for DeMarcus Cousins to see a bulk of the center minutes. For as good as Cousins can be on the offensive end, his individual defense leaves a lot to be desired.

That should lead to some extra opportunity for Plumlee to get on top of this 8.5 points number. The Rockets are already 22nd in the NBA in points allowed per game (112.4), and now you’re looking at a potential for more run than the 27.3 minutes Plumlee averages on the season due to the presumed close nature of this game. Add in that you’re getting relatively little juice at -105 to take the over, and I’m absolutely in on the Pistons center reaching double digits on Friday night.

Dylan Larkin ANY GOAL SCORED (+195)

Four games into the young NHL season, Red Wings winger Bobby Ryan has four goals in just seven shots. He’s scoring at an unsustainable pace with his limited shot volume on the top power play unit, making his +240 odds something I’m not remotely interested in against the Blackhawks tonight. Star center Dylan Larkin and his 15 shots on goal so far, however, makes for a much better play at a slightly worse price (+195).

Despite a lackluster 2019-20 season in which Larkin only scored 19 goals in 71 games, the 24-year-old is primed to see some positive regression due to ice time into the low-20’s as well as his shot-happy ways in the Red Wings’ top line. The Blackhawks have also been woeful in net to start of the year, rotating three goalies in four games who have surrendered five goals per game, dropping them to an 0-4 record. I expect that skid to continue tonight at home versus the Red Wings, and hope to see Larkin’s volume pay off in the process.
