Between the shocking trade of Luka Doncic and the recent Firings coach for two playoff disputes, this NBA season has launched some mass curved balls.
And with almost any transaction, there is inevitably an impact on the betting market.
Denver Nuggets fire coach Michael Malone, and General Manager Calvin Booth this week.
As the reports appear, the poor Russell Westbrook game may have served as a lightning rod for the dissence of costumes. The veteran brings valuable and hustle energy, but its shooting percentages are often detrimental.
And that negative was amplified with four straight losses, which led Denver to make unexpected movements.
The Nuggets won their first game with the interim coach David Adelman, and Westbrook only played 17 minutes, while scoring five points in 2 of 11 shots.
Those 17 minutes were easily the least played since December 5.
Does this guarantee that Westbrook’s minutes are lower under this new regime? Or no course.
But acute tractors are rewarded when they anticipate before recreational tractors react. So, I think this is an indication of how Adelman imagines using the old MVP.
Betting on the NBA?
Denver receives the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday and nuggets are favorites of 6.5 points in Betmgm, with Memphis on the second night of a back after losing the Timberwolves on Thursday.
We can anticipate that the Westbrook points accessory of 12.5 points will continue to be the same. The market has already dropped a point of 13.5 for the last Denver game.
I have 37-23-1 ATS in this post Sports section, and I will play Westbrook with less than 12.5 points for my next bet.
(Editor’s note: Westbrook’s line in Betmgm sat 10.5 points to early Friday. The Friday edition of the publication listed under 12.5, but is also recommended less than 10.5).
The best bet: Russell Westbrook under 10.5 points (-110, Betmgm)
