The Action Network has an elite predictive algorithm that applies to Bucks vs. Lakers on Thursday night, broadcasted nationally on TNT.
Our proprietary algorithms have indicated a roughly 5% edge on one side of the spread.
We don’t recommend using this betting algorithm as an alternative to investing — variance is a much sturdier constraint in sports gambling compared to the financial markets — but similar principles apply in regard to gains over a long time horizon.
Bucks vs. Lakers NBA Odds, Prediction
This betting algorithm considers all factors involved in the game, including injuries, matchups, rest, travel and more.
For Thursday night, the algorithms indicate the Lakers are underrated by the marketplace. That’s despite the fact that they’ll be undermanned after making a series of moves before the trade deadline, including trading away Russell Westbrook, Patrick Beverley and Thomas Bryant and acquiring the likes of D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt and Mo Bamba.
While our algos think the Lakers should be roughly +5 home underdogs on Thursday night, the best price on the market has LA listed as +7.5 (-110) dogs. That line is at PointsBet.
That pick has a betting edge of roughly 5%. Effectively, you’ll be receiving a 5% discount the second you input that wager.
Another way to think about it: You’re accumulating 5% in expected value by making that pick. Over the long run, if you exclusively bet on lines that provide positive expected value, you’re golden. In the short term, of course, variance is a constraint.
Pick: Lakers +7.5 (-110) or better
