NBA Betting Trends to Watch for March 30 (How Injuries to Ja Morant, Steph Curry Impact Wednesday’s Action)
By Peter Dewey
If you’re looking to bet on the NBA on Wednesday night, you’ve come to the right place. Not only does the BetSided team have you covered with a preview and prediction for every one of the 11 games tonight, but we also have some interesting trends to watch tonight.
Betting on trends alone doesn’t guarantee a successful bet, but it is another tool to help figure out how a team fares in a certain situation, such as a road favorite.
Here are three betting trends to consider on Wednesday night before placing your final wagers:
Memphis Grizzlies are 18-2 Without Ja Morant This Season
The Memphis Grizzlies are 5.5-point favorites against the San Antonio Spurs at WynnBET Sportsbook, and there’s a few trends that line up well for Memphis in this spot.
Superstar guard Ja Morant is out of the lineup, but the Grizzlies have gone a shocking 18-2 when he’s been out of the lineup this season. Not only that, but Memphis is one of the best teams in the league as a road favorite, going 12-6 against the spread.
As for the Spurs, they are just 6-13 ATS as a home underdog, so their time as the No. 10 seed in the West may just last a day unless they pull off the upset tonight.
The OVER Is 16-7 when the Minnesota Timberwolves Are Road Underdogs
The Minnesota Timberwolves are the best OVER team in the NBA this season, and they’ll take on the Toronto Raptors in Toronto tonight.
Minnesota is a three-point underdog at WynnBET, with the total set at 228.5, but one trend says you should back the OVER. Minnesota has gone an insane 16-7 on OVERs when it’s a road dog this season, which is nearly hitting at a 70 percent clip.
The Wolves have also gone over 228.5 points in five of their last seven games.
The Golden State Warriors Are 1-5 ATS Since Steph Curry’s Injury
The Golden State Warriors are home underdogs for just the second time this season, and for good reason, as they won’t have Steph Curry against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.
Since Curry got hurt against the Boston Celtics, the Warriors have covered just once in six games, which was their win over the Miami Heat. Golden State has failed to cover in all five straight up losses.
I’m fading the Warriors tonight against Chris Paul, Devin Booker and company.
