Betting with the point spread gives you the best chance to win consistently, but it isn’t going to maximize your winnings to the degree you need to be successful. The reality is the best way to capitalize on the NBA is by utilizing the moneyline with regularity. NBA betting terms explained. Money Line – This is an American sports term simply meaning ‘to win’. If you are backing a team on the money line then they must win for your bet to come in. Point Spread – This is a handicap system based on points, and works the same as handicaps in football betting. For example, a Miami Heat -2.5 point spread means they must win the game by 3 clear points.
Toronto Raptors at Boston Celtics
Not only is Toronto going to be missing their head coach, but Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam, and OG Anunoby will be unavailable, and it’s the second game of a back-to-back. Of course, weird stuff happens a lot in these circumstances, but Boston only having to overcome a 7.5-point spread seems low given these circumstances.
Boston hasn’t played particularly well, with Jaylen Brown battling knee soreness and Jayson Tatum fighting the after-effects of COVID. Still, they should be able to easily account for a tired, half strength Raptors squad here.

Milwaukee Bucks at Memphis Grizzlies
These two teams’ last games were blowouts, with the Grizzlies taking care of the Wizards and the Bucks somehow being annihilated by the Nuggets, two results I didn’t see coming. Now, Milwaukee travels to Memphis to try and right the ship before the break.
The Bucks are rightfully favourites, by six points, but I don’t think that’s enough. I know the Bucks have disappointed, and Jrue Holiday is not back to anywhere near his best after his COVID diagnosis, but they are significantly better than the Grizzlies, and they would like to enter the break on a strong note.
BACK — Bucks -6.0
Golden State Warriors at Phoenix Suns
The Suns are the Western Conference’s second-best team right now. They just beat the Lakers with Devin Booker getting ejected. They are, without a doubt, better than the Warriors. The question is, can they beat Golden State by more than 5.5 points? Well, the Suns last eight victories have come by at least nine points. Sure, they’ve lost two games mixed in there, but it’s not close when they win, and 5.5 points are not enough to scare me away.
