TODAY'S FREE NBA basketball PICKS
| Joe D'Amico | 10:30 PM Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Lakers NBA 05/11 |
|---|---|
| Pick: Oklahoma City Thunder -11 Today we start a new week off with 2 BIG WINNERS: I have my 75% (9-3) NBA LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE along with my NHL 14-4 ICEBREAKER. Get both, go 2-0, and start your week off right. Monday’s FREE WINNER: Oklahoma City Thunder. Game 511. 7:30 PM PST/10:30 PM EST. Normally, I would love to play a team like the Lakers at home facing elimination after losing the first three games of a best-of-seven series. But to be quite honest, I don’t think LA can say face at all, and I think they’ve thrown in the towel on the season. To say Oklahoma City has had their number, would be an understatement. The Thunder has taken eight straight meetings with the Lakers, both straight up and against the spread. This season alone, they have won and covered all seven matchups. It doesn’t matter if they’re at home or on the road. They’ve won the last eight meetings by 16, 9, 9, 43, 36, 18, 18, and 23-points. OKC knows that if they finish this series up today, they would have several extra days to rest, heal, and prepare for the winner of the San Antonio/Minnesota series. Please remember, Los Angeles has been overvalued lately, not only dropping five of their last games SU, but five of those last six games, ATS, as well. As I mentioned earlier, I feel the Lakers have thrown in the towel on the season. Therefore, this game will get ugly. Take the Thunder. Thank you. | |

Betting the NBA Point Spread
Betting “against the spread” is the most popular way to wager on NBA basketball. NBA games are rarely perfect match-ups, and the spread is the sportsbook's way of leveling the playing field. In order to win a point spread bet or “cover the spread,” the favored team not only has to win the game – they must do so by a specified number of points (the spread). The spread encourages equal betting on both teams, as it essentially “gives” points to the underdog. You most often find spreads with half-points attached, which is known as a “hook.” The hook avoids the possibility of a push (or tie).Betting the NBA Moneyline
While less popular than betting the spread, the NBA moneyline is the easiest basketball bet to understand. When betting the moneyline, you are simply picking the team that will win the game. NBA Moneyline bets are easy to understand, but they offer a poor return on investment when betting on the favorite.Betting NBA Totals (Over/Under)
When betting the “total” on NBA games, you are no longer concerned with which team will win the game. Instead, your focus is strictly on how many points will be scored overall. You may also hear this type of bet referred to as “over-under betting.”
