NBA Who’s Hot and Who’s Not – March 13
Heading into the middle of the month, we now know that the top two teams in the NBA belong on this week’s not so hot list with Cleveland and Golden State accounting for just one win in their last eight games combined and that is straight-up on the court. The Cavaliers are a costly 3-6 against the spread at BetAnySports in their last nine games and the Warriors have just one cover in their last 10 outings.
This duel slide has taken its toll on each team’s lead in the standings in what has quickly turned into an exciting race for the top spot in both the Eastern and Western Conference. Washington and Boston continue to apply the pressure in the East and San Antonio is just a half game back in the West after hammering the depleted Warriors 107-85 on Saturday as an heavy 11-point home favorite. Key injuries to the likes of Kevin Love in Cleveland and Kevin Durant in Golden State have worked to quickly level the playing field in the NBA while also adding some value to the futures odds at BetAnySports for a few of these other contending teams.
When it comes to hot betting teams in the NBA, the Miami Heat remains at the top of the list. They have been on a tear since mid-January with a SU 21-5 record in their last 26 games. The Heat have also covered BetAnySports’ closing spread in 22 of those games including their last five contests following Sunday’s 102-98 loss to Indiana as 6.5-point road underdogs. Next up for Miami is this Wednesday’s home game against New Orleans and Friday’s home game against Minnesota.
The Milwaukee Bucks have extended their current winning streak both SU and ATS to six games with Saturday’s 102-95 victory against Minnesota as three-point home favorites. The total has stayed UNDER BetAnySports’ closing line in their last five contests. Philadelphia and Brooklyn may be bringing up the rear in the East, but they have now paid off ATS in their last seven games combined.
The hottest betting team in the West right now would probably be the Denver Nuggets at 5-2 both SU and ATS in their last seven games. They have also been a good bet on BetAnySports’ total line with the UNDER paying off in six of their last eight games.
