Online Basketball Betting 8-Game NBA Win Totals
Plans to restart the 2019/2020 NBA season are underway. The coronavirus shutdown play in mid-March. Since then, the league has been trying to find a way to get back on the court. Calling it the NBA ‘Bubble Plan’, the rest of the season and duration of the playoffs will take place in Orlando. Now, let’s discuss the online basketball betting 8-game win totals and odds.
Discover The Online Basketball Betting 8-Game NBA Win Totals
Starting on Thursday, July 30, 22 of the NBA’s 30 teams will play a brief eight-game regular season schedule. This is designed to firm up the top eight seeds for the playoffs in each conference. To add some betting action to the mix, MyBookie online sportsbook has posted betting odds. This covers the OVER/UNDER for each team’s projected win total.
Online Betting Odds For Milwaukee Bucks
At the top of the list with a projected win total of 5.5 games is the Milwaukee Bucks. The odds are set at -120 for the OVER and the UNDER. The Bucks are the class of the Eastern Conference with a record of 53-12 in their first 65 games played. With a 6.5-game lead over the second-place Toronto Raptors, they have pretty much wrapped up the top seed in the conference.
With very little to play for over the next eight games, taking the UNDER is a tempting bet. How hard will Milwaukee play with nothing on the line. The actual schedule adds even more value to the UNDER play with games against Boston, Houston, Miami, Dallas and Toronto.
Online NBA Betting Odds For Boston Celtics
The win total for the Celtics has been set at 5.5 games with +100 odds for the OVER. The heavier lean is towards the UNDER at -140.
Boston has the third-best winning percentage in the Eastern Conference at 43-21. The Celtics could still catch Toronto for second place. However, home court advantage is no longer a factor in postseason play.
None the less, I do see the Celtics playing to win over these next eight games. They need to build some winning momentum heading into the postseason. Everything will have to fall Boston’s way to get past Milwaukee. Yet, this is the one team that has a legitimate shot at pulling off that upset. Right off the bat, these two teams will face one another in their July 31st opener.
Online NBA Betting Odds For Los Angeles Lakers
As the top seed in the West right now, the Lakers odds to go OVER 5.5 wins are -110. The odds for the UNDER in this bet are -130.
With a 5.5-game lead for the top seed in the Western Conference, the Lakers are in the same situation as the Bucks. They have nothing to prove over this eight-game span, so how high will their motivation be?
Looking at the actual schedule, LeBron and Co. face the LA Clippers on July 30. Toronto, Utah, Oklahoma City and Denver are also on the schedule. This only adds more value to the UNDER in this bet.
The win total has been set at five games for Toronto and Miami. They are the next best teams in the East. It has been set at 5.5 games for the Clippers as the second-best team in the West.
