Tonight’s NBA Over/Under Picks
*NBA odds as of Friday morning
Cavaliers vs. 76ers Over/Under Pick
7:30 p.m. ET | ESPN
The Cavaliers vs. 76ers total sits at 228 as of the time of writing.
However, professional bettors have already knocked this number down from its opener 229.5 behind multiple steam moves on the under.
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 wager at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
Additionally, the Action Network’s NBA public betting data is reporting that this under has landed a stunning 94% of the money, but on just 38% of the tickets, showing just how oddsmakers are on that side of the total.
