NBA betting: Kevin Durant set to explode against the Pistons

Yesterday it was a perfect 5-0 result. We love those and hope it keeps going today

Milwaukee Bucks @ Philadelphia 76ers

It comes down to who is going to stop Joel Embiid and who is going to stop Giannis Antetokounmpo.

For Milwaukee, Brook Lopez is a good bet. For Philly, I have no idea who can stop Giannis.

WOW: Steve Kerr loses the plot in wild meltdown in NBA

CURIOUS: Telling detail in photo fuels LeBron James conspiracy

So, seeing the 76ers as a 1.5 point favourite is a little shocking to me.

Best bet: Handicap betting - Bucks +1.5

Utah Jazz @ LA Clippers

Rudy Gobert may be out and Paul George may be in. That’s downgrading defence and uplifting offence, so a game total of just 217.5 seems mighty low.

Both teams can be frustrating with pace, but I think that number is a low bar to climb.

Reggie Jackson is having his minutes limited, but seeing the assists at 4.5 when he can now likely pass to Paul George, seems too low.

Over is paying $1.77 on Sportsbet.

Best bet: Game total - Over 217.5

Best bet: Player assists - Jackson over 4.5

Detroit Pistons @ Brooklyn Nets

There is some blowout risk here, but Kevin Durant is going to get whatever shot he wants off.

His scoring line is set at 27.5 and I think he can push past 30, even if he only plays in three quarters.

On Sportsbet, over is $1.84.

Best bet: Player points - Durant over 27.5

Chicago Bulls @ Washington Wizards

Nikola Vučević has been a constant source of rebounds.

His line is high, but at just 10.5 he should be able to clear that against a rebounding challenged Wizards team.

The over is $1.90 on Sportsbet.

Best bet: Player rebounds - Vučević over 10.5
