Patrick Everson

Damian Lillard and the Trail Blazers face a tough Sunday test against the 76ers inside the NBA Bubble in Orlando. FanDuel Sportsbook opened Portland a 2-point favorite and moved to -2.5.

NBA betting odds are posted and drawing dollars for a full Sunday in the NBA Bubble, with seven games on the docket. Among the key contests: the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Portland Trail Blazers, who are making a push for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference.

Multiple oddsmakers provided insights on NBA opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Sunday’s matchups.

NBA line movement

The Blazers have a short turnaround, coming off a tough 122-117 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday where Portland was outscored 12-2 over the final 1:39 of the fourth quarter. Still, FanDuel Sportsbook opened the Blazers as two-point favorites and moved them to -2.5 late Saturday night for a 6:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

In what might serve as an elimination game for the loser, the San Antonio Spurs meet the New Orleans Pelicans as both try to find a way into the Western Conference playoffs. FanDuel opened Zion Williamson and the Pelicans -3 and stuck there Saturday night for a 3 p.m. ET meeting.

And in the 9 p.m. ET nightcap, the Clippers can strengthen their grip on the West’s No. 2 seed with a win over the Brooklyn Nets. Los Angeles opened 13-point chalk at FanDuel and ticked to -12.5 overnight.

NBA public betting

Consensus indicates the public has no aversion to taking the Trail Blazers on a back-to-back, with Portland landing 73 percent of early picks against the 76ers. The Spurs are drawing 63 percent of Consensus picks against the Pelicans.

NHL public betting, line movement for August 9
Patrick Everson

Auston Matthews and the Maple Leafs needed a Game 4 miracle to stay alive in their best-of-five qualifying round series against the Blue Jackets. Now, Toronto is a -150 favorite for Sunday's Game 5.

NHL betting odds are up for another slimmed-down schedule, as the 24-team original bubble field gets whittled down to 16. There are two round-robin matchups Sunday, but more important, a Game 5 between the eighth-seeded Toronto Maple Leafs and ninth-seeded Columbus Blue Jackets in the Eastern Conference qualifying round.

Caesars sportsbooks provided insights on NHL opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Sunday’s contests.

NHL line movement

The Maple Leafs needed an incredible effort late in Game 4 to reach Sunday’s 8 p.m. ET winner-take-all game. Trailing 3-0, Toronto scored three goals in the final four minutes, then won 4-3 on a goal 13 minutes into overtime. Caesars opened the Maple Leafs -150 favorites, with the Blue Jackets at +135.

In an Eastern Conference seeding game, the Boston Bruins opened -125 to the Washington Capitals’ +110 in a noon ET puck drop. And the St. Louis Blues are -135 to the Dallas Stars’ +120 in a Western Conference seeding game with a 3 p.m. ET start.

There was no line movement in any of those games at Caesars books by late Saturday night.

NHL public betting

Consensus provides a window into how the public is betting, and the early lean is on the Maple Leafs, playing in the “home” bubble in Toronto. The Leafs were landing 59 percent of picks vs. the Blue Jackets.

The Capitals were getting 62 percent of picks against the Bruins, and the Blues were the biggest Consensus play, drawing 70 percent of picks against the Stars.
