Happy Hump Day everyone. Despite feeling like the playoffs last night, with Boston hacking Drummond, the Kings slowing down the game, and intense fourth quarters, there are more NBA games today.  There are seven games tonight, including two nationally televised games. Three teams are playing the second of back-to-back games, and they are the Toronto Raptors, Houston Rockets, and the Sacramento Kings. There are two games in particular that today’s Fantasy Alarm NBA best bets focus on. The bet of the night is a teased same game parlay on the Los Angeles Lakers at Detroit Pistons. It highlights Anthony Davis, who could be in for a big night against the Detroit Pistons front court. There is another proposition bet in that match, which was a former bet of the night. It has not been adjusted, and it actually has positive odds at the moment… Perhaps a possible slip by the bookies? The last bet features a straight bet to take advantage of one team playing in the second of back-to-back games.

 

BET OF THE NIGHT: SAME GAME PARLAY: LA LAKERS TO WIN & ANTHONY DAVIS 20+ POINTS -120 MGM

The line I was searching for was the Anthony Davis point line. It is set at 22.5, and the line has moved from -125 late last night to -140 this morning. There are still favorable odds for A. Davis to do what he does, and score points. He has covered this line in three of his last five games, and has a favorable matchup against the Detroit Pistons. The LA Lakers moneyline is at -275 and the spread is set at -6.5. The moneyline is too juicy for a valuable return, and the spread, although obtainable, is scary because the Lakers are not a great team. Good teams win, and great teams cover. A win combined with a teased down Anthony Davis point line, has better value than either bet placed alone. Trust the SGP to deliver.

PROP BET: LEBRON JAMES UNDER 7.5 REBOUNDS +105 DK 

This bet was the bet of the night on Monday and LeBron James did not earn one rebound… not one. Granted, the Philadelphia 76ers have a better center and front court in general. L James is going to be mindful of his calf injury on this road trip, where his body can not rehab in the same manner as it can while being in Los Angeles. Anthony Davis and Jalen Duran have an expected 23 rebounds between them, and Ausar Thompson has been rebounding well for Detroit. There is also the possibility that the Lakers are blowing out the Pistons and Lebron sits out the fourth quarter to be prepared for the game tomorrow night in Oklahoma City. A plus odds bet that does not make sense from a logistics approach. If you live dangerously you could add this to the previous line and have over +200 odds. 

STRAIGHT BET: PHOENIX SUNS -3 -110 DK

The Phoenix Suns will be without Bradley Beal again, as well as a few role players, and Kevin Durant is questionable but they will have Devin Booker. Since his return the Phoenix Suns have not lost a game. That is seven straight games in a row; at home, on the road, and back-to-backs. He is a difference maker and there are no two ways about it. Kevin Durant has not played the last two games, but the questionable designation is a true tag, and he could play,. If he joins the lineup this spread will shoot up at least two points. It was -2 last night, and is already -3.5 on some sportsbooks. The Toronto Raptors played a tough match up against the Brooklyn Nets last night, and are playing the second of back-to-back games tonight with what could be restricted minutes or players out. Hop on this spread line early, and trust the better team to win.
