Several NBA over/unders are already getting attracting big bets for second-half games this week.
We’ve tracked respected money, a PRO System, or both on Grizzlies vs. Pacers, Magic vs. Hawks and Lakers vs. Trail Blazers. We’ll cover all the analysis and premium predictions below.
The second half of the NBA season begins Wednesday. All three NBA over/under picks, meanwhile, tip off Thursday.
We start with the highest over/under of the season – and the bet to lock in, too.
NBA Predictions: Over/Under Best Bets for 3 Second-Half Games
We’ve tracked an early move on the Pacers vs. Grizzlies over/under Thursday, per Bet Labs.
The over/under of 249 is the highest tracked, but the first big bet that came in was on the under.
FanDuel took a large bet on the under at open (250.5), and steam — which refers to uniform line movement around the market set off by respected action — has taken the number down.
According to Abrams, 25 NBA totals have been 249 or higher in the last 30 years, and the Pacers have played in 14 of them.
PRO Pick: Pacers vs. Grizzlies Under
Next up is Magic vs. Hawks, which matches Action PRO’s “Reverse Line Movement Unders” – ultimately a bet on the game going under the total.
When divisional rivals play, and more than 60% of the tickets are on the cover, but the total drops by at least one point, the under has cashed 55% since tracking began.
Bet Labs backs it up, with some smart money already betting Atlanta-Orlando on NBA Thursday.

PRO Pick: Magic vs. Hawks Under
Finally, the Lakers vs. Trail Blazers over/under reveals intriguing insights and perhaps a mispricing.
L.A. actually opens up the second half of the season on Wednesday, yet sharp bettors are taking multiple whacks at Lakers vs. Trail Blazers under on Thursday when the Lakers are on a back-to-back in Portland.
Bet Labs logged not one but two separate influential bets on Lakers-Trail Blazers under 226 across the span of two days.
