NBA Betting Trends: Which Teams Should You Bet on the Road the Rest of the Season?
By Peter Dewey
If you’re like me, you’re just itching for the NBA to return from the All-Star break and begin the race to the postseason.
Today, I’ve broken down some teams that you should consider betting on at home for the rest of the NBA season, but what about on the road?
Here are three teams that I’ll have my eye on at WynnBET Sportsbook when they are away from home over the next two months.
Phoenix Suns (Away ATS Record: 17-10)
The Suns could be a team you buy low on in the betting market, as oddsmakers are going to adjust for them playing without Chris Paul for potentially the rest of the regular season.
Phoenix has the sixth easiest schedule the rest of the way, according to Tankathon, so I like the Suns to cover in games they will likely be slight road favorites in. The Suns are 13-8 against the spread in that spot so far this season.
Don't shy away from Phoenix even with Paul out.
Memphis Grizzlies (Away ATS Record: 22-8)
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
The Memphis Grizzlies are the best team in the NBA against the spread, and they are even better on the road, covering at a 73.3 percent clip.
The Grizzlies have been dominant since Christmas Day, covering in 21 of their 27 games, and I think they will be motivated down the stretch to try and catch the Golden State Warriors or Suns in the West.
Miami Heat (Away ATS Record: 19-13-1)
The Heat have been solid away from FTX Arena, but they are a team I think can be even better down the stretch as long as Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry stay healthy.
There’s also a chance the team welcomes Victor Oladipo into the rotation as well.
Miami has the fourth best margin of victory on the road this season, and it doesn’t have a daunting schedule down the stretch, ranking 16th in schedule strength at Tankathon.
Health is the key here, but Miami has been good all season, and will only get better if its top dogs are on the floor.
