With the NBA’s 82-game marathon regular season complete, all eyes now shift to the NBA play-in odds board. And although no one will be eliminated from the postseason at the conclusion of Tuesday’s two contests, the winners will gain automatic entry into the playoffs. As for Tuesday’s two losers? They’ll be pushed to elimination games Friday. […]
One goal. One measly goal — from two hockey teams who give them up in bunches — was all we needed to cash both of our Best Bets from Monday. But the Montreal Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets failed to put that needed biscuit in the basket, as Monday’s lone NHL game ended 4-2 and just […]
Welcome to the start of the NBA playoffs — well, kind of. Tuesday features the first round of the NBA play-in tournament, with the Cavaliers battling the Nets in the Eastern Conference and the Timberwolves hosting the Clippers in the Western Conference. And you know what that means: Yep, another chance to bag a few […]
A quick glance at the Friday NBA odds board reveals a handful of startling point spreads: A team that suffered a 32-point loss to the lowly Washington Wizards exactly a week ago is an 18-point favorite.

And with three days left in the regular season, motivation — or the lack of it — is a key component to handicapping the entire league, including Friday NBA props. The Brooklyn Nets, Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks all need to […]
So, yeah … let’s go ahead and address the elephant in the room right off the rip: As a group, we’re in a funk with our Best Bets right now. Not only have we dropped eight of our last 11 Best Bets the past three days, but we couldn’t even count on ol’ reliable Thursday: […]
You want a preview of a potential Eastern Conference finals matchup between two teams still fighting for top-tier playoff positioning? The Thursday NBA odds board delivers just that, with the Boston Celtics visiting the Milwaukee Bucks. The Celtics currently occupy second place in the East, but only by a whisker over Milwaukee and Philadelphia, which […]
Do you want the bad news first or good news as it pertains to Props.com’s Best Bets? Yeah, that’s what we thought, too: Let’s get the negative out of the way. Bad news: We suffered our second-straight losing night Wednesday, going 1-for-3. Good news: The one hit was yet another NBA Prop winner, bringing our record […]
NBA awards bettors are learning a lesson: Every game counts. And it’s a tough lesson for bettors who backed Joel Embiid in the NBA MVP odds market — and thought they had a sure winner.

With five days remaining in the NBA’s regular season, the Eastern Conference’s 10 postseason participants have been determined. The Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls are among the six clubs that have avoided the league’s play-in tournament and earned a pass straight into the playoffs. However, both teams are still jockeying for playoff positioning heading into […]
Not exactly our finest performance with Tuesday’s Best Bets, as we went 1-for-4. But you know what they say, “one step back and two steps forward.” OK, so maybe that’s not the correct order of things, but hopefully it applies to Wednesday’s Best Bets situation.
