Bets on the NBA in the Playoffs and During the Regular Season

Overseas basketball can’t be treated with contempt. Many even call it another sport, different from that played in Europe and the rest of the world. Here come the best of the talented, to compete for the cherished rings of champions in the regular season and the playoffs.

Let’s talk about the peculiarities of bets on both parts of the drawing of the title of the best basketball club of North America (and what to be modest – the whole world). This is an overview of the characteristic trends reflecting the most popular directions for betting on the matches of the National Basketball Association.

1. The effectiveness of teams. Totals stood, stand and will stand in the row of the three most popular offers in the lines on the NBA. It is important to note here that the effectiveness almost always in its average values falls in the playoffs. Betting is most advantageous in the beginning of confrontations at the start, when bookmakers still pay great attention to the statistics of the regular season.
2. Effectiveness of leaders. The best of the best themes are valuable, that in the playoffs can add. To take the “top” on points, rebounds and block shots in the performance of the leaders of the main contenders for the title is a promising venture. For example, Kobe Bryant, from 2007 to 2012, invariably improved statistics in the spring.
3. Effectiveness of the rest. However, the leaders of collectives are sometimes paid too much attention: they are often played by partners, they are forgiven much of what they will not forgive others. On most secondary figures, the more reservists, it is reasonable to catch the “bottoms”. A simple example from the composition of Miami Heats, the winner of the 2011/2012 season and 2012/2013: Goran Dragic, Mario Chalmers, Haslam Udonis scored in their previous playoffs on average less than during the regular season, but their more significant partner Dwyane Wade in most cases, increased effectiveness, whoever played with him shoulder to shoulder.
4. Transfers. By the beginning of spring, the transfer window closes in the NBA, which may in some way affect the alignment of forces. Leaders do not make significant changes in the composition, but if this happens – it is necessary to pay attention to why it happened (problems with the composition or the opportunity used simply to increase). As a rule, if the winners of conferences do not make significant adjustments, they often get, at least, to the final of their half of the playoffs due to excellent teamwork.
5. Injuries. Dwight Howard, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Brandon Roy, Tony Parker, basketball players, whose injuries ruined the club’s prospects in the fight for the highest places, full. The loss of one important player in the squad can lead to a series of unsuccessful meetings with partners in the NBA, which strongly depended on the actions of the failed master. In the playoffs, the number of games is limited, and sometimes the leader’s problems with health can be signed by one of the parties. Closely follow the news.
6. Other features. If we compare the beginning of the regular season and its ending, then we can note a higher performance in the end, while in the preseason bouts, amazing “bottoms” can make their way. It is impossible to ignore the more acute and tense struggle in the playoffs, which often leads to an abundance of draws. The coefficients for overtime, as is known, are necessarily high, and its result is taken into account by bookmakers in the final total.
