Here are the top 5 NBA teams to bet on

Teams | Trends
Oklahoma Thunder | 8-0 SU in last 8 games overall

Charlotte Bobcats | 5-1 ATS in last 6 as underdogs

1. Oklahoma City Thunder

Next Games: @Portland, @New Orleans, vs. Indiana

Kevin Durant and company are on a tear as the Thunder have won eight straight games. They’ve beaten contenders like the Warriors, Timberwolves, Clippers and Spurs during that stretch and are now just a game behind Northwest division leader Portland. Oklahoma City is controlling the boards in most of their games. In fact, they are the best in the NBA in rebounds, corralling 47.4 RPG.

2. New Orleans Pelicans

Next Games: vs. Dallas, vs. Oklahoma City, vs. Detroit

Ryan Anderson’s return from injury has been a big boost for the Pelicans’ offense, which resembles a video game right now. New Orleans is the ninth highest scoring team in the NBA, inundating opposing teams with 103.8 PPG.

They’ve been even better over the last five games, during which the Pelicans have increased their scoring production to 109.3 PPG. The absence of Anthony Davis due to injury could also mean more scoring opportunities for opponents as Davis is an imposing defensive presence, especially in the paint.

New Orleans is 9-1 OVER in their last 10 games overall.

3. Houston Rockets

Next Games: vs. Phoenix, vs. Golden State, vs. Orlando

Utah ended the Rockets’ winning streak at five games, but Houston still remains one of the hottest teams right now – both in winning SU and ATS. The Rockets are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games, including winning streaks of three and four wins.

As of writing this, Houston is just 2.5 games behind of the Spurs in the competitive Southwest Division. The Rockets are also near unbeatable against the spread as they are 5-1 ATS in their last six games.

4. Charlotte Bobcats

Next Games: vs. Philadelphia, vs. Golden State, vs. Orlando

In their last game, the Bobcats stuck close to Dallas for most of the game until the Mavs broke away in the fourth quarter to give Charlotte their third straight loss, 89-82. Spread bettors, however, were gifted with a win, as the Bobcats were 8-point underdogs.

It was Charlotte’s seventh ATS win in 10 games. Moreover, the win improves Charlotte to 5-1 ATS in their last six games as underdogs.

5. New York Knicks

Next Games: @ Brooklyn, vs. Orlando, vs. Boston

New York has been radiating mediocrity ever since the season began, and despite having a prolific scorer in Carmelo Anthony (26.3 PPG – #2 in NBA), the Knicks are wallowing in the depths of point production rankings.

The team is just 26th in the league in scoring, churning out 92.8 PPG. Over the last five games, James Dolan’s team has gone 4-1 UNDER in the Totals.
