NBA Betting: Vol. 2

Kendrick Martin under 18.5
He’s been landing under this line quite a bit lately, even back when he was playing alongside KD and Russell Westbrook. Honestly, I feel like that first game was just a fluke; I really don't see him being that consistent throughout the whole season. Plus, there might be some absolute beast out there tonight who eats up all the minutes, which would probably keep his playtime pretty low anyway.
Giannis Antetokounmpo under 18.5
The Orlando Magic have plenty of weapons at a similar level of talent, and I don't think I'll be pushing for much action in the paint—especially since we know they're staring down one of the best centers in the league with Joakim Noah on the other side. Without Derrick Rose, they've got to lean heavily on their defense, and if they want to walk away with a win, they're basically going to have to shut down access to the rim entirely.

wiredcanyon39 I'm with Martin on this one. There's no way Big Baby wants to go up against a lazy Boozer in the paint. Plus, Orlando is dealing with a ton of injuries, and Joakim Noah is going to be facing off against Nikola Vukčević.

What are your thoughts on Detroit Pistons under 93.5? Looking at the numbers, Detroit is one of the worst teams this season. They’ve dropped three straight, and they only cracked the 93-point mark once in that stretch. Meanwhile, Denver has a heavy-hitting roster and an elite defender like Andre Iguodala holding things down!

I also think Chicago Bulls vs Orlando Magic should stay under 188 total points! Even without Derrick Rose, the Bulls are solid defensively and don't give up many buckets. Nobody has even put up more than 90 against them this season, even though Orlando regularly clears 100. These two usually play tight games, so I'm leaning under!

Detroit isn't anything special, but I wouldn't call them one of the worst out there. They might struggle on the road, but they looked decent at home during preseason, beating both Orlando and Atlanta while scoring over 100 twice. On the road, they tend to lose and struggle to score. That 93.5 line is probably low because Denver tends to play high-scoring games. I'll probably pass on this one, but calling Detroit one of the worst teams feels a bit much since the season just kicked off😉

Toronto could go over, maybe Orlando too. That 88.5 margin looks a little suspicious, though I'm honestly on the fence about taking that over...
