It’s now up to basketball to hold down the sports betting fort, starting with Tuesday’s five-game NBA odds board.

In addition, this game is also catching the eyes of the wiseguys.
Let me explain.
NBA Pick: Celtics vs. Pacers
Boston is a 7-point favorite against Indiana as of the time of writing.
However, this spread initially opened at Celtics -5, and sharps are taking a position on the favorites.
Action Labs’ Bet Signals are reporting multiple steam moves on Boston, explaining why oddsmakers have been motivated to lengthen this number to a consensus of -7, and even up to -7.5 at BetMGM.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market that is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same side of the same game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
As mentioned above, some books have ticked up to -7.5, so be sure to shop for the best odds (and vig) if tailing the smart money for Tuesday night’s Pacers vs. Celtics matchup.
