Hot Betting Trends NBA - December 31 (2020)

Gambling911.com has your NBA Betting Trends (in order from best on top) for Thursday, December 31, 2020. Green Teams are those with the edge.  Red teams are those with a notable disadvantage.

  1. The home team is 9-1 in the Philadelphia-Orlando series with a line of 76ers -3 and the Magic starting the season at a surprising 4-0
  2. Utah has won eight of last nine versus Phoenix, losing in the last meeting, however, Phoenix is 9-1 Against The Spread in their last 10 games following a straight up win and the Jazz are 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 home games
  3. Orlando is 3-13-1 Against The Spread in their last 17 games as a home underdog
  4. Philadelphia is 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 games as a road favorite
  5. Orlando is 12-2 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up win
  6. Philadelphia is 1-6 Against The Spread in their last 7 games following a ATS win
  7. Houston has won seven of the last nine versus Sacramento and is priced at -220 on the moneyline

Results

Orlando is now an abysmal 3-14-1 Against The Spread in their last 17 games as a home underdog, and this is the trend we should have focused on more than the home team being 9-1 in the Philadelphia-Orlando series.  Not sure what happened here but the 76ers destroyed Orlando New Year's Eve.  The Magic was our pick to have us now at 2-1 so far with NBA free picks.

Our only other hot trend outside of those pertaining to the 76ers-Magic, Houston winning seven of the last nine versus Sacramento.  With the Kings a +5 dog in this one, they did cover.  But the Rockets did win, so this was a nice moneyline bet.
