*Odds as of Thursday afternoon
The first round of the NCAA Tournament gets underway today, so I’m not breaking any news when I say that Thursday’s sports betting conversation will be singularly focused on college basketball.
Thursday’s betting handle will also be dominated by the NCAA Tournament, but that doesn’t mean college basketball is the only game in town, either.
There are five games on Thursday’s NBA odds board as well, though it’s unlikely recreational bettors will have much interested in professional basketball on a day like today.
However, when it comes solely to value no matter the sport, tonight’s Nuggets vs. Pistons matchup is popping as a favorite among the market’s sharpest sports bettors.
Let’s take a look.
NBA Pick: Nuggets vs. Pistons
The Nuggets opened as 11.5-point favorites against the Pistons and wiseguys are still finding value with Denver despite the double-digit spread.
Sharps have steamed the Nuggets on five — yes five — separate occasions, rocketing this spread up to a consensus of -14, and even to -14.5 in some spots, as of the time of writing.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market that is often the result of bettors with the respect and resources to move odds getting down on the same side of the same game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
Interestingly, BetMGM is offering this spread at -13.5, so be sure to shop for the best NBA odds if tailing the pros in this matchup.
PRO Pick: Nuggets -13.5
