This Week in NBA Betting Today: Top ATS and Totals Tends

Top Trends Against the Spread and Over/Unders

In NBA betting today, there is so much information out there that it’s sometimes hard to know what to look at or what to take into account when handicapping games. Trends are a big talking point among the betting community. However, we tend to not take trends into account too much because for every one trend you find, if you look hard enough, there’s likely another one that could contradict it. Nonetheless, against the spread and over-under trends are fun to look at, which is why we’ve pulled a few top trends from the past week.

First Quarter Plays and Fades

So far this season, it’s been interesting to see which teams get out to fast starts and which tend to find themselves playing catch up. Over the last week, two teams have clearly separated themselves from the pack in that regard. The Indiana Pacers are 0-4 against the spread in the first quarter. They’ve trailed by an average of 7.5 points after the first 12 minutes but have gone on to win three of those four games. Indiana might be a team to look to fade early in their NBA matchups.

MIAMiami Heat

The Miami team on the other hand has been getting out to great starts. They are 5-0 against the spread in the first quarter across their last five games. That being said, the Heat are just 1-4 straight up in those games and 3-2 against the spread for the full game. This trend is telling us to back Miami early but maybe stay away from full-game spreads or the Moneyline.

New York Not Kind to The Knicks

NYNew York Knicks

The Knicks return home to Madison Square Garden on Friday night after a long West Coast road trip. However, if you’re going to indulge in NBA betting today, you might want to know that the Knicks have not been good at covering spreads when at home.

Knicks also only went 2-3 straight up in those games, meaning not only is New York not covering, they’re also not winning all that much

They are 0-5 over their last five games inside the Garden. They have been favored in four of those games with the only game they weren’t favored in coming against the Boston Celtics. The Knicks also only went 2-3 straight up in those games, meaning not only is New York not covering, they’re also not winning all that much.

Road Woes

LALLos Angeles Lakers:

The Lakers have stunk pretty much all season, so it doesn’t really come as much of a surprise when they lose games or fail to cover. What is somewhat of a surprise is the rate at which they’re failing to cover on the road. LeBron James and company are 0-5 against the spread in their last five road games. The Lakers next two games are both on the road against San Antonio, so when NBA betting today, that could be a chance to fade the Purple and Gold.

MEMMemphis Grizzlies:

The Grizzlies are another team that is 0-5 against the spread on the road. Memphis has played some close road games this season while their more comfortable wins are coming within the comfortable confines of FedEx Forum.

OKC = Over City

OKCOklahoma City Thunder:

The Thunder isn’t the most talented team in the NBA but they are one of the NBA points leaders, ranking fifth with 119 points per game. They play at the third fastest pace in the league which has been causing the over in their games to cash recently. In fact, the over has hit in the first half of their last five games. They are also 5-0 to the over in their last five games at home, while they are 4-1 to the over in their last five road games. When NBA betting today, a look at the over against the Bulls could be a nice play.
