A. Nembhard OVER 1.5 3's
+168

Andrew Nembhard's six 3-point attempts in Game 1 were the most he's tried since Game 5 of the second round against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the two he made meant he's knocked down at least that many in back-to-back games and five of his last eight.

Lu Dort OVER 2.5 3's
+124

Loui Dort is now 9-of-21 in this department over the last two games with at least four makes and 10 attempts each time, and he only needs three on Sunday for an OVER on Sunday.

I. Hartenstein OVER 7.5 REB
+110

Isaiah Hartenstein nearly put together a double-double in Game 1 with nine points and nine rebounds in just 17 minutes off the bench, and the size discrepancy was painfully obvious when he saw the floor and Turner was resting.

The table above displays our sports betting computer’s picks based on the last 100 NBA games played – it gives basketball bettors a data-backed look into which games and NBA odds could hold some hidden value.

It can be tricky to nail down the “perfect” bet, but our expert predictions will how to bet on basketball matchups with confidence.

How to Use the NBA Computer Picks Table

Following the computer picks blindly is not a surefire way to make gains when betting on NBA action. If anything, it's merely a guide to place bettors in the best position possible to achieve success, whether you're betting moneyline, the spread, or OVER/UNDER.

We use statistical analysis and machine learning projections to create our selections, but don't forget to do your own research to find the best value!

Moneyline

Betting the moneyline means you're picking the winner of the game, no strings attached. If the team you bet on emerges victorious, then so do you.

Team Moneyline
Los Angeles Lakers -120
Golden State Warriors +150

In this example, the Los Angeles Lakers are favorites to win the game as their moneyline odds have a minus sign (-) in front of the number. The favorites will have the minus sign present, and the underdogs will have a plus sign (+). 

Betting $100 on the Lakers would pay you $180 -- your original $100 bet, plus $80 in winnings. If you bet $100 on the Warriors, since oddsmakers believe they're less likely to win this game, the payout would be $250.

Spread

Betting the spread provides more wiggle room to bettors for games that may appear one-sided on paper. Rather than simply picking the winner like you would with moneyline, you can instead pick the point differential on the scoreboard to give underdogs more of a fighting chance with your wagers.

Team Spread
Los Angeles Lakers -4.5 (-110)
Golden State Warriors +4.5 (-110)

In this example, the Lakers are favored to not only win the game against the Warriors, but do so by at least 4.5 points. As a gentle reminder, the minus sign (-) determines the favorite for the game in question.

Should the Lakers win by five points, that would mean Los Angeles "covered the spread," resulting in a win for those who bet in their favor. However, if the Lakers won by four points, that would mean the Warriors "covered the spread" instead. 

The -110 betting line enclosed in parentheses is fairly common for spread bets. That is the number bettors would follow to determine potential gains and losses, just like the moneyline. 

Totals

An OVER/UNDER bet has nothing to do with which team wins the game. Instead, all that matters is the total combined score for that game and whether it exceeds a preset number established for oddsmakers.

Team Total
Los Angeles Lakers O 240.5 (-110)
Golden State Warriors U 240.5 (-110)

In this example, oddsmakers have set the total score for the Lakers and Warriors at 240.5 points.

As a bettor, you can select the OVER if you believe the two teams will combine to score more than 240.5 points (241 or more), or bet the UNDER if they'll score fewer than 240.5 points (240 or fewer). 

If the set number was a whole number like 240 points, for example, and the two teams combined to score exactly that amount, then the result would be a push and you'd simply get your money back.
