LeBron James didn’t log many minutes in the All-Star Game, and Joel Embiid didn’t even get to play. But the latter recently dethroned the King in the latest MVP odds.

At the halfway point of the season, SportsBetting released updated probabilities to make the NBA Playoffs for all 30 teams, as well as the latest odds for MVP, ROY, DPOY and Sixth Man.

After a two-week run at the top of the MVP odds board, James was supplanted by Embiid last week.

LaMelo Ball, Rudy Gobert and Jordan Clarkson continue to be the odds-on favorites for Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year. 

In terms of playoff numbers, only the Hornets and Wizards have seen their odds flipped, meaning they were favored to make the playoffs before the season started and now aren’t, or vice versa.

Free pick from Joe Duffy: 

UTAH VALLEY +9 Grand Canyon

College basketball is a momentum sport and Utah Valley is getting big points having won two straight, while GC has lost two-of-three. It is senior night for GC and they are loaded with seniors. But such teams generally do well early, get a bit overvalued and are fades late. After an 10-1 ATS start, they have lost 2-of-3 to number. 

Utah Valley’s pick and roll with Jamison Overton and Trey Woodbury will give troubles to GCU smallish backcourt with Oscar Frayer banged up. Grand Canyon’s Asbjorn Midtgaard has had a ton of success dominating smaller centers. Tonight, he is matched up against Fardaws Aimaq who can match up physically. 

With postponements, UVU has played tougher strength of schedule. Accusports has us covering 58.4 percent. Sportsline has UVU covering 55 percent. TeamRankings slight edge. MasseyRatings says line should be -7.5. Hasalam Metric has it an eight-point game, so modest edge. 

Top expert pick from MasterLockLine: The only slump of the entire season is gone! The greatest NCAAB season ever recorded by any source, any time, any place is volcanic. For the season, power of 600-plus is 226-151 excluding pushes.

Service out of San Diego is the No. 1 handicapper west of Mississippi, which includes every Las Vegas based handicapper. College Basketball Game of the Year goes at 9 ET!

All-time No. 1 college basketball service far and away based on units won, releases almost all plays as one-unit, but does also have even more powerful 1.5-units bets. All bets are regular unless 1.5 specified. Up 38.3 units based on one unit per bet, go over 40 units with two sides with 2 ET and 8 ET side

ATLANA -3 Orlando 

Road favorites off of a win that broke a losing streak are 449-317-15. So Hawks have combo of some momentum, but still enough anger. Second game since firing Lloyd Pierce and from a handicapping standpoint, an underachieving team, firing a coach in the middle of the year almost always works short-term. 

Bogdan Bogdanovic back for Hawks after missing a bunch of games with knee injury. Still though without Cam Reddish and De’Andre Hunter. Clint Capela GTD. Orlando’s Evan Fournier is questionable.  Fournier is averaging 20.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.6 minutes over the past seven contests. 

We exploit various simulators. Accuscore has Atlanta cashing the ticket 60.7 percent. Sportsline has Atlanta covering 59 percent. TeamRankings says line is perfect but NumberFire gives edge to Magic. 

Free NBA winner from Joe Duffy:

NEW YORK +2.5 San Antonio

Though we lost two very close bets (most of you won with Charlotte OVER as we released with just one book up), we also great a break when Spurs went into OT and put the game over the total. It also opens up a nice situation. Fading unrested teams off an OT game is 242-172-7. When we are betting the road team and said team is not playing back-to-back games it covers at 69 percent. Accuscore has New York covering 57.8 percent of simulations. Sportsline gives us a mild edge at 52 percent. NumberFire has our chances at 54.1. EdgePlus has a medium bet on New York. TeamRankings says the number is about right, but bottom line is no simulators tell us to go with Spurs. 

Top over-under teams in college basketball based on margin of over/under at least 15 lines games. Top OVER teams:

 Top UNDER teams:

 We release plays before lines are widely available so you can shop around for the best lines. Often that costs us when we count records based on the line quoted, often available at very few books at the time. Most of you had Charlotte OVER as a winner, but we count it as a loser in our 94-69 run.

Free winner:

HOUSTON -2.5 Cleveland

Cleveland has won three straight all as underdogs. Houston lost 11 in a row! Go against teams on a straight up winning streak against teams on a straight up losing streak under certain circumstances is 515-371-13. When teams are in reverse streaks adding to 10 or greater, the ice-cold home favorite of two or more is 51-28-3. NumberFire has Houston covering 62.4 percent, TeamRankings with a slight edge at 52.1. 

Best college basketball teams to bet on or against, with at least 15 lined games. 

Best teams to bet against based on said criterion.

Margin of cover is a long-time tool of original cappers used to measure the reliability of the often deceptive ATS and OU records. It is much like margin of victory, except it measures margin relative to the point spread or OU. With over-under, “overs” are listed first. Some Johnny-Come-Lately handicappers call this the sweat barometer. 

The odds suggest Gonzaga won’t become the eighth NCAA basketball champion to complete a perfect season, but the Zags’ chances aren’t too long. 

SportsBetting released a host of NCAA Tournament-related prop bets Monday, and Gonzaga completing an undefeated season is one of them (odds imply a 28.6% chance Zags will go undefeated). 

There are also odds on whether or not blue-chip bubble teams like Duke, UConn, Indiana and Michigan State will qualify for the tournament. 

Finally, eight teams (Baylor, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio State, Alabama, West Virginia, Villanova, Iowa) have odds of being selected as No. 1 seeds.

UTAH VALLEY -3 UT Rio Grande Valley

Sean Rhea, UTRGV’s best player, is leaving the program. He averaged 15.2 points per game, 6.2 rebounds, and a block a game. They are already without Chris Freeman, who averages 7.3 points per game, 4.3 boards, and 1.7 assists. Also, coach Lew Hill tragically died last month. Yes, I’ve said teams rally around adversity, but this is a lot for young kids to overcome. 

They played only 13 games because of stoppages and now down two key players go to high altitude of Utah Valley. One of our top projection models did 10,000 simulations and found them covering at a rate 67 percent. Accuscore has them covering 58.2 percent.
