Sports Betting NBA – Trends, Handicapping & Picks

Betting NBS trends give you more value because you are dealing with twelve players on teams playing almost three to four games a week

Sports betting in the NBA can be fairly predictable for an expert handicapper that pays attention to all the trends and tendencies that a long NBA season has to offer. Unlike other sports, trends give you more value when betting in the NBA because you are dealing with twelve players on teams playing almost three to four games a week in which the human element of habit comes into play. An expert handicapper will take a look at every trend that can possibly give you the betting advantage when making your NBA Picks.

There are only twelve players on each NBA team, which means players tend to play at the same beat.

When NBA teams play on the road, they go out and party together as they have more freedom and time to basically subject themselves to more distractions, which is why home favorites have won straight up at nearly a 70 percent clip over the past 3 years. NBA players thrive on energy, passion and acceptance from the crowd so road distraction combined with players not giving hundred percent effort, especially the Top tier players will cause long losing streaks.

As an expert sports bettor, it is our job to be aware of a team is gaining or losing momentum in order to make winning NBA Picks. NBA teams can gain or lose momentum due to injuries to their top players or a game they just cannot get up for due to the long X factors of an NBA season which shows you why motivation is your greatest sports betting value in all sports.  As an expert handicapper, we must always be aware when an NBA team has gained or lost motivation during a long NBA season because it will automatically give you the betting advantage over the oddsmaker.

All sportsbettors are aware that motivation comes from a team playing its rival or top players in the league but so are the oddsmakers.

As an expert handicapper, a trend we have found to be helpful is finding a team that is coming off a poor shooting performance and looking for them to bounce back in the next game.  A team that has lost by more than 15 points or even 20 points is usually going to have momentum induced from the players and coaches to bounce back after an embarrassing loss. NBA players are professionals and they are not prone to having poor shooting nights in consecutive games which was probably caused by lack of effort and focus.

As an expert handicapper, we are always looking for value and in this situation, the oddsmakers and the public will give you tremendous value here because most sportsbettors bet on teams based on their most recent performance which now gives you the edge and more success by choosing value.

Here are some betting trend facts of current teams that are in the middle of trends that make you tremendous profits if your handicapping detects it in time. The Dallas Mavericks are 1-12 ATS in their last 13 home games and the San Antonio Spurs are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

The MemphisGrizzlies are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 home games and the Los Angeles Clippers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Detroit Pistons are 1-12 ATS in their last 13 games overall and the Washington Wizards are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a losing road record while the Rockets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog.

The NBA is similar to the NFL when it comes to betting. By this, we mean that Las Vegas oddsmakers have a very good handle on getting the point spreads right so your best opportunity for successful sportsbetting in the NBA are finding the trends that give you value.
