Los Angeles Lakers vs. Philadelphia 76ers
7 p.m. ET
The sharp bettors are hammering the 76ers spread for this one. It’s been enough to move the line down from Philadelphia -1.5 to Philadelphia -2.5.
Oddly, the smart money and retail bettors are aligned on this pick.
That’s because the Lakers have been perhaps the best team in the NBA to fade this season. They’re fourth-worst against the spread this season and are consistently overrated by the market.
Anthony Davis returned this week from an MCL sprain and is probable for tonight’s game.
Meanwhile, the 76ers will be missing Seth Curry and Danny Green.
Sharp Betting Pick: 76ers -2.5 or better.
Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Golden State Warriors
10:10 p.m. ET
The smart money is on the Warriors spread and the under for this contest.
The sharps and public are aligned heavily on the Warriors’ spread, which has reached a market-low of -6.5. The best price on the market is with DraftKings at -6.
Meanwhile, the sharps and public are in opposition about the under.
While roughly 56% of retail bettors expect this game to go over 229, about 79% of the smart money is on the under.
The line opened at 228, and on account of public action, it moved to 230.
That’s when smart money started to hammer the under. That line is priced at around 229 now.
Draymond Green will miss yet another game with a calf ailment, and Andre Iguodala also won’t suit up for this contest.
Meanwhile, Patrick Beverley and Jaylen Nowell are both questionable for tonight’s late game.
Sharp Action Betting Pick: Warriors -6 or better | Under 229 or better.
