I was surprised by the odds given to Portland Trail Blazers as an underdog against the New Orleans Pelicans just because Damian Lillard is out. It's a whopping @4 ML odds and the Pelicans @ 1.26. I understand that the Pelicans will be the Favorites but just can't imagine the distance of the odds as Blazers are currently on a hot start this season.
Fans will miss the supposed face-off between Damian Lillard and his former Blazers duo for long, CJ McCollum on their tonight's matchup.
Pelicans -8.5 @ 1.85 should be a good pick. The handicap -6.5 @ 1.57 for them seems not a worthy pick for me.
While I would agree that New Orleans Pelican have showed great prospects in this season but I really don't want to go with emotions because the only reason I'd have backed Pelicans on such lines is due to the unavailability of Damian Lillard and that's just to much lines to take solely because of him.
I've decided to back the Mavericks -5.5 vs Washington Wizard as my bet for this night.
Good luck to everyone!
This is a good bet on Dallas they are playing really good and Doncic is carrying them in every match,he had 30+ points in every match i think so far this season. Currently its 44-50 for Dallas so your bet is winning. I dont like Washington they dont know how to hit those 3 points and always score from the paint. Doncic so far playing a bad game once he starts scoring the advantage should increase.
I guess it was the wrong day to bet on the favorites generally, not even the Dallas Mavericks, they choked on their lead and Wizards were able to rally in the 3rd and 4th Quarter, the same the thing Trailblazers did to oust the Pelicans.
Miami Heat were the only heavy favorites to win last night though it took them OT to get the job done, and they couldn't cover the spread.
