NBA Money Line Predictions
Money line bets are most valuable when you bet on two evenly matched teams. They mean you pick the winner of the game. A team like Golden State that wins 65+ of its 82 games in a season isn’t too far-fetched to be listed at -650 or more on the money line betting line.
In contrast, bets against these elite teams are a great way to maximize profits when they lose.
NBA Point Spread Predictions
NBA point spread predictions provide a solution to dealing with imbalanced money line odds. Instead of solely predicting the winner of a game, these predictions focus on whether the favored team will win by a certain margin or if the underdog will lose but still cover the spread.
For instance, if you bet on the Los Angeles Lakers as favorites with a -7 point spread and they win by 8 or more points, your prediction would be correct. On the other hand, if you bet on the underdog and they lose by just 6 points, they would still cover the spread because they started with +7 points advantage.
NBA point spread predictions enable individuals to consider both winning margins and potential outcomes for underdogs in their betting strategy.
NBA Over/Under (Totals) Predictions
NBA over/under predictions provide an alternative method of betting on a basketball game. Rather than choosing a specific team to win, you are wagering on whether the total number of points scored will be above or below a set amount determined by bookmakers.
This type of prediction is appealing if you do not have a strong preference for either team or if you anticipate an exciting high-scoring game or a slow and evenly matched one. To illustrate, let’s say the sportsbooks set the line at 210.5 points; if the final score is 115-107 with a total of 222 points, those who predicted “over” would win their bets.
Conversely, if the match concluded with a score of 101-104 totaling only 205 points, those who chose “under” would be successful in their wagers.
