NBA Season is finally here. In contrast to the NFL, it is a GRIND. There are games almost every night, minutes/rotations are fluid, past performances hold more weight, and travel can play a big role. I usually start the season with 0.5U plays unless stated otherwise as players are still getting into game shape and we are sorting out teams' rotations. I have this “grace period” for roughly 15-20 games. If you are going to bet NBA, I strongly suggest investing in NBA League pass. I personally like to follow 2-4 interesting teams throughout the season, and they are commonly referred to as m y “League Pass Teams”. This season I'll be invested in the Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons, Sacramento Kings, and Denver Nuggets.' That doesn't mean I won't be watching other games, but these 4 just really intrigue me heading into the season.
My articles will consist of straight plays like my NFL pieces, but the bottom section will be where chaos ensues. This is where you'll find “player performance doubles” and alt lines with juicier odds. I plan on targeting tanking teams (Pacers, Thunder, Charlotte, Spurs) for Player Performance Doubles. Last season in NBA I went 126-106(54%) for +8.26U and although that is positive, it is not acceptable for this upcoming season. Please be patient with NBA, but we will have our exciting nights!
