Betting insights
- After a three-game absence, Curry (ankle) returned on Monday and scored 24 points in 24 minutes for the Warriors. Golden State coach Steve Kerr said he “doesn’t anticipate a big minutes restriction” for Curry on Wednesday. The Warriors are 6-1 straight up and against the spread, covering both underdog spreads they’ve faced this year.
- Cleveland is 8-0 SU and 7-1 ATS. It leads the NBA in effective field goal percentage (60.9%) and is second in points per game off turnovers (19.2). New Orleans, meanwhile, is just 2-6 ATS and has already lost three times SU as a favourite.
- OKC isn’t just beating teams … it’s burying them. All seven of the Thunder’s victories have come by 12 or more points — including a 15-point win as road underdogs against the Nuggets in the season opener. OKC has won four in a row against Denver dating back to last season.
- Paul George had an ugly debut for the 76ers on Monday, scoring 15 points on 4-of-14 shooting with six turnovers. Philly dropped to 1-5 on the season and is still awaiting the return of Joel Embiid. The Clippers are missing a star, too, with Kawhi Leonard still on the shelf for an unknown amount of time. One strong trend for the 76ers has been overs, which are 5-1 this season.
- The Raptors have struggled to close out victories, but they’ve been dynamite from an ATS perspective. Toronto has covered seven straight games after losing by 30 points in the season opener (to a still-unbeaten Cleveland squad). Last week, the Raptors beat the Kings SU as 9.5-point underdogs.
