The field of 16 teams officially begins Saturday, and one team is a clear-cut favorite to capture its first championship, at least according to Vegas.
Below, you can see NBA odds for the play-in games, the playoffs, conference championships and the Finals.
SportsBetting also has the adjusted MVP and Rookie of the Year odds. Other NBA awards categories are not on available because the frontrunners have greater than a 99% chance of winning.

It appears Frank Vogel’s days are numbered in L.A.
So, who will be the next fall guy for Rob Pelinka? A grizzled veteran or a newbie head coach? How about a player-coach?
SportsBetting has set odds on the Lakers head coach at the start of the 2022-23 regular season, and there are some familiar as well as outlandish names on the list.
The Lakers’ current assistant coach, David Fizdale, is the favorite, while the current head generals for the Jazz and 76ers are second and third, respectively.
There are a couple of college names on the list, and the longshots, well, are longshots for good reason. But it’s always fun to speculate.
Worth noting…LeBron James would be the first player-coach since Dave Cowens led the Celtics during the 1978-79 campaign.

HOUSTON -3.5 Portland
Many of my best angles, especially when the theory crosses sports, are based on using the oddsmakers knowledge against them. Houston is 8-30 SU road. Portland is 17-20 SU at home, yet the Rockets are laying 3.5. Anti-splits angle in which we go with road favorite if they have a much worse away winning percentage than the home team home winning percentage is 423-294.Â
Market report:
🏀Biggest public consensus in term of percentage of bets: None in NCAA tournament for Saturday. Brooklyn Nets only big one in NBA, though Spurs a strong public dog. Many contrarian bettors believe in fading public underdogs, even at a lower ticket percentage than one would fade a favorite.
🏀Most lopsided bets in term of percentage of money and biggest sportsbook liabilities: Portland Pilots, Houston Cougars in college. The Associating sees Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City, Brooklyn, Toronto, and Orlando.
🏀Biggest splits: Southern Utah in college basketball has 58 percent of bets, but a mere 10 percent of money on them. Portland Trail Blazers have 51 percent of bets, but only one-percent of the money.
🏀Biggest line moves with opening odds followed by current odds: Brooklyn opened -1, now -3.5 at Bovada. Raptors have gone from -9 to -11.

Most contrarian bettors love to fade the bets in the first category “percentage of bets.” The belief is that the public is almost always wrong (which is why bookmakers make a lot of money) by chasing square theories. Hence betting against them is a winning proposition. Joe Duffy, CEO of OffshoreInsiders.com is widely accepted as the top sports handicapper in the world. He prefers percent of tickets, which weighs $5 bettors the same as $500 and $5,000 a game wagerers saying, “If anything, the small bettor is the ultimate fade.”
While not completely disagreeing, Cy McCormick of the Masterlockline asserts that he prefers betting against the money. “Bookmakers always win long-term, so I want to be rooting for the same side they are,” while pointing out it is the money, not number of bets that will move the line.
Others like corroboration. If the same team is loved by both the handle and volume of bets, that’s “Truly a public play,” according to noted gambler Big Red. Finally, the splits are considered a sharp versus square metric. If majority of bets are on side A, but most of the money is on side B, some gamblers consider this equating to side B betting a sharp versus square bet.
Sweet 16 market watch, plus NBA betting intel using the same criterion. Keep in mind, the adage “public dogs die” is true, though not as much in the postseason where JoeyBagOfDonuts is willing to bet on underdogs.
🏀Biggest public consensus in term of percentage of bets: Miami Florida, Providence (dog); Pistons
🏀Most lopsided bets in term of percentage of money and biggest sportsbook liabilities: Providence (dog); Pistons, Heat
🏀Biggest splits in terms of percent of tickets versus the percent of cash: St. Peter’s 53 percent of bets, but only 22 percent of cash; Houston Rockets 57 but a mere 23 percent of cash.
🏀Biggest line moves with opening odds followed by current odds: Miami Hurricanes opened at -1, now -3 is the only one of note in NCAA Tournament today. In the NBA, the public is also loving Miami, as the Heat went from -5.5 to -7.5.
Top expert pick: Houston Cougars, my only Wise Guy, wins easily. I go 2-1 in Dance and am now 23-13 with postseason college basketball! Holy hell. The NCAA Tournament Game of the Yeargoes Friday among three NCAA Tournament winners. The winningest capper in world history with the GOY? You have an easy decision, Bubba.
