Live Betting Golf

Now that The Masters Tournament has begun (Thursday), I thought it would be the perfect time to bring up Live Betting. This is a pretty exciting way of betting as the tournament is happening. You can bet on various outcomes as players make their moves. Once a tournament begins, there’s a reset after each round, and sportsbooks will offer refreshed odds throughout the tournament. The tournament winner odds are refreshed even during play.

The key to live betting during golf tournaments is patience and strategy. Also, remember several other key components of live betting on golf.

1)Early leaders often regress.

2)The course conditions can change dramatically due to the weather.

3)Look to bet strong players who start slow (good prices)

Types of Live Bets in Golf

1) Head-to-Head. You can wager on which player outperforms the other. Check past performances and current form. Also assess how golfers perform under pressure.

2)Live Over/Under. This is about betting on certain performance metrics. For example, total strokes in a round.

3)Prop Bets: Betting on total bridies or whether a player will hit a certain score.

4)Hole-to-Hole Betting. This is about betting on a player’s performance on specific holes.

5)Outright Winner: The toughest bet is picking the player to win the tournament, but you can make the most money.

Betting Guide for Golf

With The Masters starting on Thursday, we thought it was a great time to talk about the basics and keys to betting on golf.

Before you bet, you must know the simplest things about a golf tournament, and that is a typical PGA event starts on Thursday and finishes on Sunday. The LIV Golf League is different because it focuses on 54-hole stroke play (instead of 72) for individual and team titles. It also goes Friday-Sunday, and that’s a blog for another day (lol).

Research is also crucial to earning a profit in betting on PGA tournaments. There are many sites, including PGA.com, datagolf.com, ESPN.com and golfstats.com.

Let’s focus on the basics for betting the PGA Tour:

1)Outright Winner:

If you are picking a player, say Tiger Woods, (I know he’s out), to win The Masters Tournament, that he must finish first outright, and if it goes to a playoff, he must win it. You can pick Scottie Scheffler to win The Masters (+495 on DK), and you can make a nice scorer, even though he’s the favorite. Scheffler has played in six events in 2026 and is averaging 68.3 to rank second behind Jake Knapp. He also has one win and three top 10s.

2)Each-Way Betting:

This is where you pick a player to win and a player to finish in the top positions. You can still win partial money if your golfer places, but doesn’t win. For example, you can combine an outright winner bet with a placement bet (one that will finish in the top 5. When you make an each-way bet, your wager amount is doubled into two bets: a win bet and a place bet.

3)Head-to-Head Matchups:

This is where you bet on one golfer to perform better than the other. Since they are both not playing, let’s say Phil Mickelson vs. Tiger Woods. Whoever has the lower total score over the tournament wins. You must also distinguish between betting on a tournament or a round matchup in this type of bet.

4)Top Finish Bets

This is a very popular bet, which can include a Top 5, 10, 20, 30, or 40. This is much easier than picking the winner, but the payouts are much lower.

If you bet $500 on Mickelson to finish in the top 20 (+130) at a certain event and he finishes 12th, you would earn $650 in profit. Now, certain dead heat rules may apply at the sportsbook you are looking at that may come into play with top finish bets. If a player finishes in a tie for 20th with other players, I would make sure you choose a sportsbook that says next to the winner odds that say “including ties”.

If you are betting on hockey, it’s important to know which teams are playing for seedings and which ones are out of the mix. The NHL Playoffs begin on April 18, and the regular season will end on April 16.

There are 16 teams the quality for the playoffs from the 32 teams, with eight coming from both conferences.  Teams that are fighting for playoff spots have more motivation and a sense of urgency. NHL teams don’t usually believe in load management, but players can go through the motions if they have nothing to play for aside from their individual stats.

Some points to remember:

A)The top three teams in each division automatically qualify for the playoffs. In the Eastern Conference, that would be Carolina (104 points), Tampa Bay (102 points), Montreal (100 points), and Buffalo (100 points). With 4-5 games left, there is still a lot to play for.

In the West, you have Colorado (110 pts), Dallas (102) and Minnesota (100), all from the Central Division, vying for the top three, and all of them have clinched at least a top-three.

B)The top three teams in each division automatically qualify for the playoffs. In the East, the Atlantic Division has Boston (95pts), still with a long shot of getting a top-three spot, but with just four games left. Pittsburgh (96pts), Philadelphia (90pts), Ottawa (90pts), Detroit (88pts), the NY Islanders (89pts) and Washington (87pts) are fighting for playoff spots in the East and the last two wild card spots.

In the West, there is a huge divide between the top three teams and the rest. Edmonton (87pts), Anaheim (87), Vegas (86) and Utah (86) are all vying for playoff spots. Edmonton, Anaheim, and Vegas are in the Pacific Division, along with the LA Kings (83) and San Jose (81), who all have shots of finishing in the top three of the Pacific Division or wild card spots. Nashville (82pts) and Winnipeg (80pts) are fighting for the last two wild-card spots in the conference, along with Utah.

The top division winner in each conference will play the second wild card team, and the other division winner will play the first wild card team. Right now, that will be Colorado vs the LA Kings in the West and Tampa Bay vs. Boston in the East.

The second and third-place teams in each division will match up with one another in the first round. Buffalo would play Montreal in the East, while Dallas would meet Minnesota in the West.

The national championship game goes at 8:50pmET from Indiana, featuring No. 1 seed Michigan vs. No. 2 seed UConn from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The game will be broadcast on TBS/tru/HBO Max.

UConn (34-5, 17-22 ATS, 18-21 O/U) vs. Michigan (36-3, 19-20 ATS, 17-22 O/U) 

Odds: (from DK). Michigan -6.5. Total: 144.5. Money line: Michigan -298; UConn +240.  

Prop Bets: Final Four Most Outstanding Player Best Bet:  Aday Mara (Michigan) +220. Longshot: Silas Demary Jr. +800

We’re finally here at the end of the college basketball season and another strong NCAA Tournament. The Final Four was not special after some great games in the Elite Eight. UConn handled Illinois by nine as a 1.5-point dog, while Michigan dominated No. 1 Arizona 91-73 as a 1.5-point underdog. UConn is going for its seventh NCAA title and third for Danny Hurley/.  Michigan is looking at its second and the first for Dusty May. The Wolverines are 1-6 in the national title games. 

UConn (9^th KenPom, 27^th in Adjusted Offense, 9^th in Adjusted Defense, 319^th in Adjusted Tempo). UConn beat No. 3 Illinois in the semifinal and dominated the game as a slight underdog. Tarris Reed Jr. dominated a big Illini frontcourt with 17 points and 11 rebounds, while Braylon Mullins, the hero in the Elite Eight, added 15 points on four 3-pointers. But it was the UConn defense that was the most impressive, holding a very good Illini offense (ranked first on KenPom) to just 34% shooting from the field and 23% from beyond the arc. They were outrebounded by nine. The Huskies arrived in Indianapolis by beating Furman by 11, UCLA by 16, No. 3 Michigan State by four, and No. 1 Duke 73-72 in one of the most incredible finishes in the history of the NCAA Tournament. Mullins nailed a 35-pointer with 0.4 seconds left to lead the Huskies to the come-from-behind win. UConn did not play well, shooting just 5 of 23 from beyond the arc (22%), and Mullins was 0-for-5 from 3-point range before he made that big shot. But Tarris Reed Jr. was phenomenal against Duke, dominating the paint with 26 points, nine rebounds, and four blocks. Alex Karaban, who went 2 for 10 against the Blue Devils, is having a great tournament, averaging 17.8 points on 39% shooting from 3-point range despite that poor shooting performance. But with the size of the Illini, they will need players like Silas Demary Jr. (39% 3pt), Karaban (38% 3pt in the regular season), and Mullins (33.7% 3pt reg season) to step up from the perimeter.

Strengths: Dan Hurley is one of the best coaches in the nation—very balanced scoring. Defense is elite, and they shoot 48.1% from the field. Reed can compete against any big man and is stronger than Mara. Just beat one very good Big 10 team. Weakness: Three-point shooting is mediocre for an elite team (35.2%, overall). Offense can be susceptible to droughts. 

Michigan (1^st KenPom, 4^th Adjusted Offense, 1^st Adjusted Defense, 22nd in Adjusted Tempo) blew the doors off of Arizona on Saturday night. That was despite losing star Yaxel Lendeborg for most of the game due to an MCL strain. He played just 15 minutes, scoring 11 points, while 7-3 center Aday Mara led the way with 26 points and nine rebounds. Lendeborg returned after going back to the locker room multiple times, despite (reportedly) the urges of family members to sit out. The Wolverines managed to shoot 44% (12 of 27) from 3-point range and went +12 in the rebounding margin against a top-five rebounding squad. 

Michigan arrived at the Final Four after destroying No. 6 Tennessee 95-62, No. 4 Alabama (90-77), Saint Louis (75-72), and Howard (101-80). They were defeated by Purdue in the Big 10 title game 80-72 as a 4.5-point favorite.

The Wolverines have a very talented squad, led by Lendeborg, who had 27 points and seven rebounds last Sunday against Tennessee. He is one of the best all-around players in the nation, averaging 15.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks, while shooting 52.3% from the field and 38.3% from beyond the arc. Mara (12.2ppg, 2.6bpg, 6.8rpg) has plenty of perimeter help led by UNC transfer Elliott Cadeau at the point, averaging 10.3 points and 5.9 assists, while shooting 37% from three-point range.

Michigan also has several players who might be taken in the first round of the NBA, along with Mara, Lendeborg and Morez Johnson (6-9, 250), who averages 13.1 points and 7.3 rebounds, while shooting 62.1% from the field. In terms of guards. Lendeborg is expected to play on Monday

Strengths: Size. They are eighth in rebound rate.  Number one in the nation in field goal defense (38.4%). Weaknesses: Not many. Guards are good, but they don’t have an explosive scorer.  They are 288^th in defensive turnover rate.

A Betting Guide for MMA

Some people only like to bet on team sports, but sharp bettors realize that a sport like UFC can be very profitable. Unlike boxing, UFC has a consistent schedule, where there is a card nearly every Saturday. Research is key because the better fighter doesn’t always win. They say styles make fights, and that’s important in UFC. Is he or she a wrestler or a striker? Wrestlers often control fights. The goal is not to just pick who has the best record.

• Ground experts dominate through control and submissions.
• Strikers dominate through damage and knockouts.
• Complete fighters who combine both tend to reach the top in today’s UFC.

Top Betting options:

1)Money Line

This is the most basic bet in MMA. If you lay -125 on a fighter, that means a winning bet of $125 would net $100 in addition to your initial stake. If you bet the underdog at +110, that would mean a winning bet of $100 would win $110 in addition to your initial stake. If you have a +200 odds, that means a better would have to place a $100 wager to receive a $200 profit if the wager was successful. A -200 odds means that a bettor would have to play a $100 bet to receive a $50 profit if the wager was successful.

2)Over/Under Rounds or Round Totals

The key to this bet is to wager on how long the fight will last. For example, let’s say a round total is set at 1.5 rounds. If you bet the under, then you think that the fight will end before 2:30 of the second round. If the O/U set is at 2.5, then go under if you think the fight will end in the first round. If you think it will end up longer than 2:30 into the third round, then the over is the play. It’s important to pay attention to whether the fight is scheduled for three or five rounds.

Also, make sure you know the history of both fighters and how they finish a fight, and how they have been finished. If you get a fight where two fighters who have never been stopped in their career, the value is on the over. However, if you have two big finishers, then you may consider the under.

3)Method of victory.

You can wager on the exact outcome of the fight. Whether it’s a KO, TKO, submission, or a judge’s decision. The judge’s decision is a difficult one to wager as you have to rely on all three judges’ scores to determine the winner.

4)MMA Parlay: These can be very profitable, but as with most parlays, you need to get all the outcomes selected correctly. You can choose four different fighters on a UFC card to win all their fights via a moneyline bet and parlay them. There are also SGP (Same Game Parlay) bets, which are structured around the same fight in MMA betting. Let’s say you pick Fighter A, and you want him to win by a decision, but also have the most significant strikes and most knockdowns in a fight. That would be an SGP bet and a profitable one if all legs hit.

5)Prop Bets

There are many different prop bets, including: 1)The number of significant strikes landed. 2)Number of submissions in the fight. 3)How many takedowns will be landed in the fight? 4)Whether the fight will be a unanimous decision. Not every prop will be available for every fight. Most props will be listed until a day or two prior to the event.

Final Four Betting Preview

The Final Four is headed for Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Saturday, where we’ll have No. 3 Illinois vs. No. 2 UConn at 6:0pmET and No. 1 Arizona vs. No. 1 Michigan at 8:49pmET on TBS.

In terms of odds, Illinois is a 2.5-point favorite, and the total is 139.5. The money line is Illinois -130. Michigan is a 1.5-point favorite in the second game, and the total is 157.5. Michigan is -122 on the money line. Here is a link to the first preview of UConn/Illinois.

Michigan (35-3, 18-20 ATS, 16-22 O/U) vs. Arizona (36-2, 23-15 ATS, 19-19 O/U)

Michigan is the favorite to win the title (+170), according to DraftKings, while Arizona (+180) is the second favorite.

Michigan (1^st KenPom, 5^th Adjusted Offense, 1^st Adjusted Defense) arrives at the Final Four after destroying No. 6 Tennessee 95-62, No. 4 Alabama (90-77), Saint Louis (75-72) and Howard (101-80). They were defeated by Purdue in the Big 10 title game 80-72 as a 4.5-point favorite.

The Wolverines have a very talented squad, led by 6-9 Yexel Lendenborg, who had 27 points and seven rebounds on Sunday against the Vols. He’s averaging 21 points per game, 7.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in this tournament, while shooting 59.2% from beyond the arc. Michigan might not have a superstar, but they have several players who might be taken in the first round of the NBA. One of them is 7-3 Aday Mara, who averages 11.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks. Morez Johnson (6-9, 250) is another potential first-rounder who averages 13.7 points and 7.4 rebounds, while shooting 64.3% from the field. In terms of guards, Elliott Cadeau (9.9ppg, 5.5apg) runs the show, and as a junior, who also played at North Carolina, should be fine in this moment. *(Check on Cadeau’s status. Apparently, he had an allergic reaction to something he ate on Wednesday.

Strengths: Sixth in the country in field goal shooting. Size. They are eighth in rebound rate.  Number one in the nation in field goal defense (38.4%). Weaknesses: Guards are good, but they don’t have an explosive scorer like Jaden Bradley, Keaton Wagler, or Silas Demary Jr.  They are 288^th in defensive turnover rate.

Arizona (2^nd KenPom, 4^th Adjusted Offense, 2^nd Adjusted Defense) comes to the Final Four after winning 13 straight games. That includes a dominant performance over Big 10 champ Purdue (79-64), which was the second seed. They also crushed No. 4 Arkansas (109-88), beat Utah State by 12 and demolished LIU (92-58). This is Arizona’s first trip to the Final Four in 25 years. Guard Jaden Bradley, who was named Big 12 Player of the Year, has been ordinary in the tournament, averaging 13.3 points and 3.8 assists, while shooting 44.7% from the field (33.3% 3pt). But he’s normally a 39% three-point shooter. Guard Brayden Burries leads the Wildcats with 16 points per game and shoots 39.2% from the field. Arizona has the better guard play. Now the question is whether they can neutralize Michigan’s size. It helps to have freshman forward Koa Peat (6-8, 235), who averages 13.7 points along with 5.5 rebounds. Motiejus Krivas (7-2, 260) and Mara should be a war in the middle. He’s averaging 10.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.9 blocks. An x-factor is Tobe Awaka (6-8, 250), who is a great rebounder with 9.3 per game in just 21.1 minutes per game.

Strengths: Rebounding (6^th in total rebounding percentage). They shoot 50.3% from the field. Weaknesses: Three-point shooting (36.7%) is good, but not great. In conference play, they were worse at 33.2%. If you can slow down their game in the paint, Arizona takes just 26.4% of its shots from 3-point range, which is one of the lowest marks in the nation.

The Final Four is headed for Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Saturday, where we’ll have No. 3 Illinois vs. No. 2 UConn at 6:0pmET and No. 1 Arizona vs. No. 1 Michigan at 8:49pmET on TBS.

In terms of odds, Illinois is a 2.5-point favorite and the total is 139.5. The money line is Illinois -130. Michigan is a 1.5-point favorite in the second game and the total is 157.5. Michigan is -122 on the money line. On Thursday, I’ll have the second Final Four Game preview.

Illinois (28-8, 21-15 ATS, 14-22 O/U) vs. UConn (33-5, 16-22 ATS, 18-20 O/U)

These teams last met on Nov. 28, 2025, 74-61 from Madison Square Garden and in the Elite Eight in 2024, with UConn winning 77-52 before claiming their 2^nd straight NCAA title. Illinois was led by Kylan Boswell, who had 25 points, while Solo Ball led the Huskies with 15 points. UConn shot 41% from the field and outrebounded the Illini by five. Illinois shot a putrid 32% from the field and just 6-of-29 (21%) from beyond the arc.

Illinois (4^th KenPom, 1^st Adjusted Offense, 20^th Adjusted Defense) arrives at the Final Four after beating Iowa (71-59) in the Elite Eight. That came after upsetting No. 2 Houston by 10, VCU by 21 and Penn by 35. That’s not an easy road for the Illini who is a better team than they showed in late November. Their offense is listed as the most efficient in the country by KenPom. The question here is whether freshman point guard Keaton Wagler can be consistent. In the tournament, he’s averaging 17.5 points and 6.5 rebounds, while shooting 44% from the 3-point line. At 6-6, he can rebound (had 12 vs. Houston). Andrej Stojakovic is a Cal transfer and Peja’s son, who averages 13.6 points but is shooting just 24.4% from beyond the arc. The frontcourt is massive, led by forward David Mikrovic (6-9, 250), Tomislav (7-1, 255), and Zvonimir Ivisic (7-2, 255). They’ll have their hands full with Tarris Reed Jr. (6-11, 265). Strengths: Size, Offense. Weakness: Defense away from home (43.6% FG), 33.2% 3pt). 296^th in Adjusted Tempo.

UConn (9^th KenPom, 28^th in Adjusted Offense, 9^th in Adjusted Defense, 319^th in Adjusted Tempo). UConn arrived here by beating Furman by 11, UCLA by 16, No. 3 Michigan State by four, and No. 1 Duke 73-72 in one of the most incredible finishes in the history of the NCAA Tournament. Braylon Mullins nailed a 35-pointer with 0.4 seconds left to lead the Huskies to the come-from-behind win. UConn did not play well, shooting just 5 of 23 from beyond the arc (22%), and Mullins was 0-for-5 from 3-point range before he made that big shot. But Tarris Reed Jr. was phenomenal against Duke, dominating the paint with 26 points, nine rebounds, and four blocks. Alex Karaban, who went 2 for 10 against the Blue Devils, is having a great tournament, averaging 17.8 points on 39% shooting from 3-point range despite that poor shooting performance. But with the size of the Illini, they will need players like Silas Demary Jr. (42% 3pt), Karaban (40% 3pt in the regular season), and Mullins (36.4% 3pt) to step up from the perimeter. Strengths: Dan Hurley is one of the best coaches in the nation. Very balanced scoring. Defense is elite, and they shoot 48.1% from the field. Weakness: Three-point shooting is mediocre for an elite team (34.6%, 85^th overall). Offense can be susceptible to droughts.

Betting on Baseball can be very simple, but let’s talk about some of the more unusual ways of betting, and we’ll also discuss the typical stuff that bettors wager on.

1)First Five innings. If you want to avoid the bullpen blowing leads late in games and just want to rely on the starting pitcher, this is the way to go. If you select Team A and they are leading after five innings, you get the win. If it’s 2-2, then it’s a push and you get your money back. If Team A is trailing after five innings, you lose. There is also an F5 Run line, so if you pick the Dodgers -0.5, they must be winning after five innings. If the total is 4.5, then both teams must score five runs or more.

2)Betting on the money line is the most popular wager or at least it was before all these options came about. If you just want to pick a winner, there is no reason you shouldn’t pick Team A -130 over Team B. The problem comes when the money line is -175 or more and then if you stick to big favorites, you are usually going to lose in the long run. You can earn a bigger profit by taking some underdogs and smaller favorites. The stronger pitchers are normally going to be the biggest favorites, especially against bad teams.

3)Picking over/unders is another big option in wagering on baseball. The key to picking totals, especially for outdoor stadiums, is the weather. Specifically, the wind, especially at this time of the year, where the weather can be under 60 degrees in a lot of places. Always remember to check to see if the wind is blowing out (say 10-20 mph) and that happens a lot in the Midwest, especially Chicago, Detroit and Kansas City. Picking an over in Denver is fine, but the odds are usually going to be 10-11 runs due to the thin air and the history of high scoring games at Coors Field in Colorado.

4)A popular option in baseball is picking the run line. Usually the run line is -1.5/+1.5. It’s a nice option if the money line is -175 or higher. The only issue is to remember that about ¼ of the games are decided by one run. But you can get a better payout than a moneyline.

5)Finally, one of the most popular options over the last five years is player props. Strikeouts and hits are very popular nowadays. But the key is studying the numbers and checking out the lineups, which are usually posted about two hours before the game. Sites like ESPN.com, have splits for starting pitchers (don’t choose rookies) and they also have batters vs. pitchers. So if you have one veteran pitcher and he’s struggling against 2-3 guys in his career, I’d look at home runs, which are usually +200 or higher and hits or even total bases if there is a good value. I’d stay away from -120 or higher odds when it comes to prop bets. Look for good values, but also check out their numbers against the current starting pitcher. When it comes to strikeouts, some pitchers own certain teams, and their strikeout numbers are high against them.

NBA Playoffs are starting to take shape

Betting the NBA is never easy, but now that the playoffs are nearly set, there are some things to be cautious about when it comes to approaching teams’ mindsets this late.

The NBA Playoffs tip off on Saturday, April 18, but before that, the Play-in Tournament starts on April 14. At this point (March 31), there are 10 teams out of the running for the playoffs: Milwaukee, Chicago, Brooklyn, Washington, Indiana, Memphis, New Orleans, Dallas, Utah, and Sacramento. Those teams basically tank mode as New Orleans (4-6 L10) is the only team attempting to try because they traded away their first-round pick last season.

Here are some playoff scenarios as of March 31, according to NBA.com. Click the link for more information. Division wins aren’t a big deal.

*Cleveland (47-27) can clinch a playoff spot with a win over the Lakers. Clinching a playoff spot means finishing in the top six in each conference. If you finish 7-10, you are I the play-in tournament.

*Detroit (54-21) is four games above Boston for the Eastern Conference lead. Despite not having Cade Cunningham (lung), the Pistons have won 7 of their last 10 games. They do expect him to return before the playoffs. Betting against the Pistons once they clinch first place (they have seven games left) is logical.

 *Boston (50-25) has a full roster save for new center Nikola Vucevic (finger), who is expected to return this weekend. This is a dangerous team, and it’s not a shocker that they are the second favorite (+550) to win the NBA Championship and the favorite (+170) to win the Eastern Conference (odds from DraftKings).

*Denver (48-28) can clinch a playoff spot with a Phoenix loss to Orlando tonight. The Nuggets have won six straight and are in fourth place in the Western Conference, just 1.5 games ahead of Minnesota and two games up on Houston. They are also 1.5 games behind the LA Lakers, who have won three straight and nine of 10. If you’re looking for a big underdog to win the NBA Championship, the Nuggets are +800.

*San Antonio (57-18) has won nine straight games but is 2.5 behind OKC for first place in the West.  This is a very dangerous team, and their only weakness is a lack of experience. They are picked as the third favorite to win the NBA title (+600) and second-favorite to win the Western Conference (+340).

*Golden State (36-39) appears to be in a rebuilding mode as the 10^th seed, but they are dangerous as long as Stephen Curry is healthy. Curry is having a solid season with 27.2 points per game and is shooting 39.1% from beyond the arc in just 39 games. Their season basically ended when Jimmy Butler (20ppg) suffered a season-ending knee injury. Curry (knee) should return before the end of the season, but he hasn’t played since January 30. Pass on their future playoff odds, but check on how they’re playing when and if Curry returns.

*Another team to look out for now and possibly in the playoffs is the LA Clippers (39-36). They’ve won five straight games, but looking at a play-in game at No. 8, considering they are three games behind No. 7 Phoenix with seven games to play. Why are the Clippers dangerous if they beat the Suns and make the playoff field? Kawhi Leonard is having a great season (28.2ppg, 6.3rpg) and is healthy (at the moment. Darius Garland (21.3ppg, 7apg) and Bennedict Mathurin (20.3ppg, 5.0rpg) were two late trade additions and are also healthy.

 *The Los Angeles Lakers (49-26) can clinch a playoff spot and the Pacific Division title with a win against Cleveland OR a Phoenix loss to Orlando. This Lakers team has been playing great basketball, winning six straight and eight of their last 10 games. They have no chance of getting the top two seeds and are 1.5 games ahead of Denver. But at this point, they are going to rest Lebron James and last night, rested Luka Doncic. Another team to bet against down the stretch despite their record. They’ve also covered just once in their last five games. The Lakers are +1500 to win the Western Conference and +3000 to win the NBA title.

This is where research matters. Always pay attention to the standings as well as the injury reports. Teams that are still fighting for seedings will play their starters full minutes. Those who are locked into a seed or a play-in tournament are not going to have the motivation and may end up playing starters fewer minutes.

At this point, expect some weird rotations and starters either sitting or playing fewer minutes. The tanking teams are going to do what they’ve done all season, or most, and that includes a lot of G-League-type lineups and a fourth quarter where coaches are not trying to win.

The Sweet 16 tips off tonight with four games on Thursday and four on Friday. 

If you are betting tonight and tomorrow, here are a few rules to ponder.

1)Considering going under because, as good as these teams are offensively, they are outstanding defensively. There are also more half-court sets.

2)Experience is important. The top three freshmen (Darryn Peterson, Caleb Wilson, and AJ Dybantsa) are out of the tournament. Teams with veteran guards tend to do better at this level. You also have plenty of coaches with a tremendous resume’. 

3)The seeds aren’t that important this late in the game. Focus more on matchups. Does a team rely on three-point shooting and does the opponent struggle to defend it? Is this about tempos? In other words, if you have one methodical team that is all about the halfcourt, facing a faster tempo team, they can be neutralized. 

4)Always check out advanced metrics at TeamRankings.com, KenPom, etc. Use stats like offensive/defensive efficiency, rebounding margin, turnover rate and more. That can be the deciding factor as much as injuries.

5)There are some live betting opportunities. If a favorite starts slow, there is a strong chance they’ll have a good second half. So there is value in second-half betting, but beware of teams shooting 50% or higher in the first half (assuming they are mostly long-range shots), as you might want to be against them in the second half.
