Best NBA bets, public plays for Monday's games
The public is backing several double-digit favorites -- truly shocking behavior
We saw another exciting weekend of NCAA tournament games this past weekend, with 11-seed NC State making a remarkable run to the Final Four. The Wolfpack are the biggest remaining liability at several sportsbooks, including one bettor at DraftKings who has a $1,060 wager on NC State at 500-1 odds that would win $530,000.
We’ll have a big best bets column and some bookmaker opinions on the Final Four games later in the week, but for today we turn our attention to the NBA where there are three double-digit spreads among the six games.
Below, we go through where the public action is at DraftKings Sportsbook, along with a few best bets from respected handicappers on tonight’s action.
