NBA Daily Dose: 3/27

The Post-Tourney, Pre-Baseball slates...

The next few days are the “the NBA is almost intolerable at this point but we can’t help but bet on it because we are still hopelessly in love with it and have no college basketball or baseball to pay attention to for at least a few more days” slates.

This slate is loaded with huge spreads and a bunch of star players resting (Embiid, Giannis + Holiday, Dame shutdown?) and should be a wild one but we are used to that at this point.

I am scaling back on the NBA until baseball starts, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t do my homework this morning and find a few angles I like, as well as a handful of player props I can get behind. Without further ado, let’s get it rolling…


DraftKings DFS Sample Lineup

Very much a rough draft here…

We want pieces of Portland, Philly, and Milwaukee and I smashed in Ingram and Trey Murphy here, the two hottest Pelicans in a great spot against the tanking Blazers.


Straight Bets

MIN +5.5 (-110)

Fox is in for Sacto, but really hoping ANT and KAT play for Minny, I see no reason why they wouldn’t when the team is battling for playoff seeding.

CHI +4.5 (-110), 1/2 unit on CHI ML (+160)

I am a believer in the Bulls right now and a big skeptic when it comes to the Clippers.


Player Props

Props are for the premium peeps! NBA props have been solid and MLB props are going to be NEXT LEVEL!
