NBA Faves are 17-2 Straight Up, but are Barely Profitable
by Jason Logan

Favorites are doing what they’re supposed to do in the NBA playoffs – win the game. Heading into Friday’s action, betting favorites are 17-2 SU in the postseason after Miami, Chicago and Memphis all won outright as the chalk Thursday.

While that 17-2 record may seem impressive to the casual fan, it doesn’t mean squat to NBA bettors. Anybody taking these favorites outright on the moneyline hasn’t won enough money to buy themselves lunch, despite suffering only two losses since Saturday.

The 17 winning teams have produced +5.24 units of profit in the postseason ($100 bettor would be up $524) but a pair of pricey losses – Brooklyn lost to Chicago as a -190 moneyline favorite in Game 2 and Denver fell to Golden State as a -330 moneyline fave in Game 2 – have all but erased those winnings.

That’s left anyone chasing moneyline favorites with a take of +0.04 units – or four bucks for $100 bettors. Enjoy the dollar menu.

Favorites have gone 11-8 against the spread so far in the postseason while the 19 playoff games have combined for a 7-10-2 over/under mark. Eastern Conference faves are 6-4 ATS while Western Conference chalk is 5-4 ATS. East games have gone 3-5-2 over/under, West contests boast a 4-5 over/under count.

Fans of the “Zig-Zag” theory – betting on teams coming off a SU loss – are 7-4 ATS heading into Friday. Potential Zig-Zag teams went 2-1 ATS Thursday night, with Memphis and Brooklyn covering the spread. The Celtics (-3), Lakers (+4.5) and Nuggets (+1) are all possible Zig-Zag bets Friday.

NBA

Friday, April 26

Boston led 53-49/48-42 at halftime of first two games, then went out in second half and scored 25-23 points; thats 48 points in 48:00 in second half of games in this series. Knicks won last five games with Celtics, by 3-15-19-7-16 points, they made just 16-56 behind arc in two visits to Boston, winning by 3-15 points. Boston's dilemma is that Knicks have three PGs better than anyone playing for Celtics. Playing at home will help C's, but gaps between games helps NY as much as Boston, since they're both old teams. Five of six series games this year stayed under the total, including both games in this series.

Golden State shot 64.4% from floor, 14-25 behind arc, as they whacked Nuggets 131-117 in Game 2, winning without Lee, who is out for season (hip flexor). Denver bench was +5 in Game 2- they outscored Warriors 28-15 on foul line, but when a team's eFG% is 73.4%, they ain't losing. Question now is, what do they for encore as scene shifts to Oakland for Game 3? Denver won four of six vs Golden State this season, splitting pair here, with games decided by total of seven points. Denver got to the foul line 65 times in first two games, compared to 35 for Golden State, but Nuggets are just 12-42 behind arc so far in series.

Nash is hurt, Blake is hurt, Bryant is hurt, Lakers lost first two series games by 12-11 points, trailing both by 8 at half. Spurs shot under 39% in three of five games vs Lakers, but are 4-1 in those games, winning by 2-3-12-11 points; they split pair with Lakers in Staples, with two games decided by total of seven points. LA is +20 in FT's tried in five series games this year, but its bench is -78 in series so far. Ginobili was +38 in last two games, with +19 in 19 minutes in both games. Hard to gauge the Spurs on road, since they rested guys so much during season; opposite will be true here- they'll be gung-ho to get sweep and gets some time off before next series, against much more formidable opponent.
