There is about a quarter of the NBA regular season left following the All-Star break, and there are a few teams vying for a shot in the play-in tournament and playoff picture in each conference. There isn’t much time to make up ground, but there are teams that could be poised for a run in

One of the fun props to bet on for the All-Star game is who will score the most points, and most books have them offered in an interesting manner this year, listing players to score 10+, 15+, 20+, 25+, 30+ and 40+ points. Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid leads the way for the odds to

The 2023 NBA 3-Point Contest has a loaded field, with superstars Jayson Tatum and Damian Lillard competing this year, and several young players looking to make their mark. The 3-Point Contest is arguably the most electric event of All-Star weekend, especially since the league has seen an increase in players taking and making 3s. That’s

No. 13 Gonzaga (21-5) is rolling once again with wins in 16 of its last 18 games ahead of a showdown with Loyola Marymount (17-10) tonight. Loyola is just 1-3 in its last four contests but is 6-2 against the spread (ATS) over its last eight. The Lions shocked the college basketball world by pulling

The Minnesota Timberwolves have moved up to the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference, and they’re looking to keep that momentum going in their final game before the All-Star break against the Washington Wizards. This matchup should be a fun one, and I have my eye on three prop bets that may fall under

The Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls are headed in opposite directions, with Milwaukee coming into tonight’s matchup with 11 straight wins while Chicago has five consecutive losses. As the Bucks find themselves heavy favorites on the heels of a dominant stretch from Giannis Antetokounmpo, there are a few prop picks I’m eyeing tonight. Let’s go

Chicago has dropped five straight games, blowing a 24-point first quarter lead on Wednesday night against

Brace yourselves, because we have an absolutely LOADED card for Wednesday’s NBA action. There are just two days of games before the All-Star break, so why not get in as many picks as possible (that we feel good about of course)? I have a pair of two-pick parlays, two player props and a total to

Two Western Conference contenders face off on Tuesday night, as the Los Angeles Clippers host Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors. Thompson is expected to play in his first back-to-back all season, but I’m focused on two Clippers players for my favorite props in this game. Here’s why you should be all over this

It’s Valentine’s Day (for all who celebrate) and there’s nothing I’d love more than to give the community four winning NBA bets. So, why not do it? I have a pair of player props and a pair of spread bets on Tuesday, and I love the lines we’re getting on both scoring props. After a

The Milwaukee Bucks-Boston Celtics has been mired in injuries, as Boston is down three starters and has listed two others as questionable for Tuesday’s game. Not ideal for NBA fans that were hoping for fireworks in this game, but it is ideal for some value in the prop market. Here’s my favorite play for each

We nearly had a sweep in yesterday’s NBA best bets, but Pascal Siakam came up one rebound short. Either way, we will always take a profitable day, and I’m looking to keep the train rolling on Monday night. I have a frequent flyer (the Oklahoma City Thunder) back in today’s picks, as well as a

For most of the year, preparing for the Dallas Mavericks was just answering one question: “How do we slow down Luka Doncic?” That question might not be answerable, but now it has two parts: “How do we slow down Luka, and what do we do about Kyrie?” That’s the question that the Minnesota Timberwolves and

The New Orleans Pelicans are going to be without All-Star forward Zion Williamson for longer than originally expected due to a hamstring injury. Williamson, who hasn’t played since Jan. 2, re-aggravated the injury and is expected to be sidelined through the All-Star break and beyond. Pelicans All-Star Zion Williamson – sidelined since Jan. 2 with

There are just two NBA games on Super Bowl Sunday, but that’s not going to stop me from giving out plays in both of the matchups. The Boston Celtics are favorites against the Memphis Grizzlies in what should be a terrific game, while the Toronto Raptors fight for a playoff spot continues against the Detroit

The Toronto Raptors are looking to make a run at a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, especially after they stood pat at the trade deadline, adding Jakob Poeltl to their roster instead of selling. Entering Sunday’s matchup with the Detroit Pistons, the Raptors are just half a game out of the No. 10 seed

The NBA’s trade deadline has been absolutely insane, and it’s almost made us forget about the four games in action on Thursday night. I’m only looking at one of the matchups, the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Milwaukee Bucks, for two different bets. With so many players getting moved across the league, there are

For the second time this season, the Boston Celtics will face the Philadelphia 76ers in a rivalry matchup. These two teams faced off on opening night with Boston getting the better of Philly in a 126-117 win. Both teams are in the top three in the Eastern Confernece this season, with the Sixers sitting just

I’m all about the road favorites on Monday night in the NBA, as I think there are two playoff teams that are a little undervalued. Not only that, but Steph Curry’s injury has opened up a wonderful prop bet opportunity for those of us who love to watch Jordan Poole cook. Let’s get the week
