Celtics underdogs in first game back vs. Bucks with most sportsbooks

The Boston Celtics find themselves underdogs in their first game back in the restarted 2019-20 NBA season as they face the Milwaukee Bucks.

[jwplayer Rfco0CJs-z6KDnl0B]

The Boston Celtics find themselves underdogs in their first game back of the restarted 2019-20 NBA season according to most online sportsbooks.

This comes as little surprise given their opponent on July 31st is the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks, the two East titans colliding early in the eight-game schedule revealed this past Friday.

All online bookmakers grant the Celtics a +5.5 spread according to online sportsbook amalgamator Oddsshark as of Sunday, June 28th, which is understandable given Milwaukee is squarely in first place in the Eastern Conference with 53-12 record, and Boston two slots behind them in third with a 43-21 record.

While the long break could conceivably take a little head off of the steam forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and the rest of the Bucks had built up during the season before the hiatus, they should still be favorites in this contest, arguably strong ones.

Around the rest of the league for restart tilt odds, we see the Los Angeles Lakers slight underdogs to the Clippers on July 30th with a +1.5 spread, and the Utah Jazz also +1.5 underdogs to the New Orleans Pelicans on the two first games of the restart.

Sharing the stage with the Celtics, the Orlando Magic are +1.5 underdogs to the Brooklyn Nets, the Memphis Grizzlies with a +1.5 spread of their own to the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Washington Wizards are +3.5 underdogs vs. the Phoenix Suns, the San Antonio Spurs have been granted a +2.5 spread with the Sacramento Kings, and the Dallas Mavericks are +1.5 underdogs to the Houston Rockets to close out the odds on the games restarting the season at Disney’s NBA Campus in central Florida.

Prediction

Pelicans 122, Kings 118

Moneyline (ML)

Both teams have identical records but the Pelicans enter the game as favorites at -121, although the Kings are even money at +100. The Kings have won seven of their last 10 overall, while New Orleans has gone 5-5. Sacramento is 14-17 at home this season, while the Pelicans are 15-17 on the road. New Orleans has been money as road favorites. They are 7-1 this season when favored on the road. The Kings are 8-9 as home dogs.

Take the Pelicans to win this game at -121.

New to sports betting? A $1.21 wager on the Pelicans returns a profit of $10.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Pelicans are slight favorites at -1.5 (-110). They have been solid on the road overall going 17-13-2 ATS away from home. That improves to 7-1 ATS as road favorites. The Kings are 12-17-2 ATS overall at home but 8-7-2 ATS as home dogs. They are 7-2-1 ATS over their last 10 games. The Pelicans have covered the spread in each of their last three games.

New Orleans’ ATS record as road favorites is too good to ignore. Take the Pelicans -1.5 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

The total is set at 233.5 points Wednesday night. The two teams played earlier this season and combined for 232 points in a win by the Pelicans. Sacramento’s games have gone Over in four straight games. New Orleans’ games have gone Under in their last two games and in five of eight. But the Kings are 17-14 O/U at home and the Pelicans are 18-14 O/U on the road. Expect a lot of points and hit the OVER 233.5 (-106) in this game.

Pistons at 76ers: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

76ers 115, Pistons 108

Moneyline (ML)

The 76ers are just 5-5 in their last 10 games, dropping three of their last four. The Pistons have really struggled as of late, losing 11 of their last 12. The Sixers are without Ben Simmons still and struggle when he’s not on the floor.

The biggest factor working in the 76ers’ favor is their 28-2 record at home this season, with Detroit going 9-23 on the road. Even with the moneyline being -625, I’m taking the 76ERS to win outright.

New to sports betting? A $6.25 wager on the 76ers returns a profit of $1.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The 76ers enter as 10.5-point favorites over Detroit, which is par for the course with the Pistons. The Sixers are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games and 4-0 ATS at home against the Pistons in their last four meetings.

The Pistons have been even better against the spread lately, going 4-1 in their last five games. Take DETROIT +10.5 (-106) with the points to keep this game close.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Over/Under is only 211.5 points. The total has gone Over in two of the Pistons’ last three games and is 3-2 in their last five. The Over is 5-0 in the 76ers’ last five games and 7-3 in their last 10.

All signs point to the total going over once again in this one, though it won’t be by an overwhelming margin. Still, take the OVER 211.5 (-110) tonight.

Nets at Lakers: Odds, lines, picks, and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 1:15 p.m. E.T.

Prediction

Lakers 112, Nets 108

Moneyline (ML)

The Lakers (-556) are big home favorites over the Nets (+400) on Tuesday night despite LeBron James’ status in question. The Lakers have won six-straight games at home and have won 11 of their last 12 games as they are peaking at the right time. Meanwhile, the Nets have lost six of their last 10 games despite back-to-back wins over the Bulls and Spurs. But given the odds for this matchup, PASS in favor of the point spread.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Lakers (-10.5, -106) are double-digit favorites over the NETS (+10.5, -115) on Tuesday evening. While the Lakers have been great against the spread as of late, but three of their previous four wins have come by 10 or fewer points. Meanwhile, the Nets are still a pretty frisky team despite missing their two stars. Expect the Lakers to win this game, but for the Nets to keep it close, especially if LeBron James doesn’t play.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Over/Under for this Tuesday night matchup is set at 221.5 points, which seems about right considering the Lakers’ defense this season. They are the third-ranked scoring defense, allowing 107 points per game this season. Meanwhile, the Nets have struggled on offense as they are averaging less than 111 points per game. Expect this to be a lower-scoring game with the UNDER (-106) hitting in Los Angeles.

Heat at Wizards: Odds, lines, picks, and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 12:15 p.m. E.T.

Prediction

Heat 118, Wizards 112

Moneyline (ML)

The HEAT (-209) are big road moneyline favorites over the Wizards (+170) on Sunday evening. Miami has won four of their last five games with their only loss coming against the Pelicans on Friday night. Meanwhile, Washington is in a bit of a slump as they have lost six of their last nine games. While this game could be close throughout, take the Heat to win at the Capital One Arena on Sunday.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The HEAT (-5.5) are two-basket favorites over the Wizards on Sunday afternoon. Despite being 40-23 on the season, the Heat have really struggled against the spread as of late, failing to cover in 10 of their last 14 games. Meanwhile, the Wizards have covered in five of their last seven games. But expect their luck to run out on Sunday as the Heat are the much more talented team. Take the Heat -5.5 versus the Wizards.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total for this Eastern Conference matchup is set at 231.5 points, which feels high despite how good these two offenses have been this season. The Wizards are averaging nearly 116 points per game this season, but also have the 30th-ranked defense in the NBA. The Heat are near average in both categories, which could slow down the scoring in this game. Expect a ton of scoring, but for the UNDER 231.5 (-110) to ultimately hit in Washington.

Lakers at Clippers: Odds, lines, picks, and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 11:15 a.m. E.T.

Prediction

Clippers 115, Lakers 108

Moneyline (ML)

The CLIPPERS (-143) are slight home favorites over the Lakers (+120) in this contest. The Clippers won the two previous meetings and are now fully healthy after missing several key players in both of the two previous matchups. It’s also notable that the Lakers played an incredibly physical game against the Bucks on Friday night. Look for this to be a close game, but for the Clippers to win the third meeting between these two powerhouse squads.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The CLIPPERS (-2.5) are one basket favorites over the Lakers on Sunday afternoon. The Clippers have won six straight games and have covered five straight games against Western Conference opponents. The Lakers have been outstanding against the spread recently as well, covering in five of their last six games. However, they have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last 10 games against the Clippers. Expect that to be the case again on Sunday. Take the Clippers -2.5 versus the Lakers.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total for this Western Conference matchup is set at 224.5 as this game will feature two of the best offenses in the NBA. Each side is averaging more than 114 points per game, while also shutting teams down on the other end of the court. Look for the pace of this game to be a little slower as both teams look to control the tempo of the game. Expect the UNDER to barely hit in Los Angeles.

Lakers at Grizzlies: Odds, lines, picks, and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 11:50 a.m. E.T.

Prediction

Lakers 118, Grizzlies 109

Moneyline (ML)

The Lakers (-385) are road moneyline favorites over the Grizzlies (+290) on Saturday night. Los Angeles is in the middle of another hot-streak as they have won seven-straight games with their last loss on February 6 against the Rockets. Memphis is trending in the opposite direction, losing five-straight games. While it would appear the Lakers are the easy pick here, PASS on this chalky moneyline in favor of the point spread.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The LAKERS -8.5 (-106) are less than double-digit favorites over the Grizzlies on Saturday night. Los Angeles has been fantastic against the spread while on the road this season, covering in 16 of 29 games. They are also an incredible 39-11 straight up as the favorite this season. Meanwhile, Memphis has failed to cover in five-straight games. Despite the big spread, take the Lakers to cover this spread at the FedEx Forum on Saturday.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total for this Western Conference matchup is set at 226.5 points, which feels just about right considering both teams have better than average offenses. The Lakers are averaging nearly 115 points per game this season and have scored under that just once in their last seven games. It’s also worth noting that Memphis’ defense is one of the worst in the NBA, allowing over 115 points per game this season. Expect the OVER (-110) to hit on Saturday night.

Lakers at Warriors: Odds, lines, picks, and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 10:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Lakers 115, Warriors 110

Moneyline (ML)

Despite not having LeBron, the Lakers (-556) are still massive road favorites over the Warriors (+400). The Lakers have played incredibly well, as of late, winning six-straight games. Meanwhile, the Warriors have lost seven-straight and another seven in a row at home. However, there just isn’t enough value on either side. PASS on this chalky moneyline in favor of another bet.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Lakers -9.5 (-115) open this contest as nearly double-digit road favorites against the WARRIORS +9.5 (-106) without their best player. However, that just feels like far too many points for a team that is so reliant on their two superstars to carry them from night in and night out. It’s worth noting that the Lakers recently beat the Warriors at home, but only by five points and that was with James in the lineup. While they should get the “W” again this time, expect Golden State to keep this game close throughout and cover the 9.5 point spread.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total for this Western Conference matchup is set at 221.5, which feels low considering how poorly the Golden State Warriors’ defense has been this season. The Warriors are allowing over 115 points per game this season, seventh-most in the NBA. While LeBron James won’t play, still expect the OVER (-121) to hit as the Lakers should come close to scoring 115 or more points even without their superstar.

Rockets vs. Jazz: Odds, lines, picks, and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 12:15 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Rockets 114, Jazz 112

Moneyline (ML)

The Jazz (-125) are slight home favorites over the ROCKETS (+105) on Saturday night. While Utah has been great at home this season (20-6), Houston has been one of the league’s better teams on the road. They’ve also had a lot of success against the Jazz, winning seven of their previous nine meetings. Given the value here, I like the Rockets to upset the Jazz on Saturday night.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Jazz -1.5 (-115) are less than a basket favorite over the ROCKETS +1.5 (+106) on Saturday night. While Utah’s record is fantastic at home this season, they haven’t fared well against the spread, as of late. They have failed to cover the spread in Utah in four of their last five games. Meanwhile, Houston is getting hot at the right time, covering in five of their last seven games. Given how even these teams are, give me Houston and the points on Saturday night.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total for this Western Conference matchup is set for 233.5 points, which actually feels a little bit too high despite this game involving the Houston Rockets. Utah has one of the best defenses in the NBA, allowing just over 107 points per game. While the Rockets always have the potential to score 120 or more points, expect the Jazz to slow down the pace of this game and for the UNDER (-115) to hit in Utah.

Celtics vs. Thunder: Odds, lines, picks, and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated Saturday at 12:28 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Thunder 110, Celtics 108

Moneyline (ML)

The THUNDER (-115) are slight home favorites over the Celtics on Sunday afternoon. The Thunder have been fantastic at home this season, winning 17 of their 27 games at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. While Boston has won six-straight games, the Thunder are an impressive 9-1 in their last 10 games. Take the Thunder at home in Oklahoma City on Sunday afternoon.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The THUNDER (-1.5) are less than a basket favorite over the Celtics on Sunday. Oklahoma City has faired very against the spread, as of late, going 14-6 against the spread. With Boston having some notable injuries, including Jaylen Brown, there’s just too much value in taking the Thunder at home.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total for this matchup on Sunday afternoon is set at 218.5 points, which feels just about right. Both teams are averaging over 110 points per game this season as these are two of the better offenses in the NBA. However, both teams rank inside the top-10 on defense and the under has hit in five of the last six games for the Thunder at home. Take the UNDER 218.5 (-110) to barely hit in Oklahoma City on Sunday afternoon.
