Phoenix Suns at Dallas Mavericks

Game 3, 9:30 p.m. ET, ESPN

The Suns won Game 2 by the final score of 129-109 and covered the spread installed as a six-point home favorite. 

The Suns are -1.5 road favorites, but a lot of early action was on the Mavericks.

Supporting the Mavericks bettors, Suns coach Monty Williams is 11-25-1 against the spread when coming off a home blowout win of 20 or more points. 

This season, Dallas coach Jason Kidd is a solid 18-6-1 against the spread in revenge games and is 15-5 against the spread off a road loss.

 

Betting System Supporting the Mavericks

This betting system has produced a 98-59-3 against the spread record for 63% winning bets over the past five seasons. 

The requirements are to bet on any team in a game lined between the 3’s (ranging from a 3-point favorite to a 3-point underdog) and is facing an opponent that has seen their last three or more games play Over the total and is outscoring their opponents by an average of six or more points per game.

If you like the Over bet in this game, you want to know this betting algorithm. It has produced a 38-12-1 Over record, good for 76% winning bets over the past five seasons.

The requirements are to have the total priced between 210 and 219.5 points with a team, in this case, Dallas, playing with triple revenge and are coming off two or more consecutive road losses.

I like betting the Over, priced currently at 219.5 points.

Saturday’s Best Bet

Boston Celtics at Milwaukee Bucks

Game 3, 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC

The Celtics have won six straight playoff games after the sweep of the Brooklyn Nets and wins in Games 1 and 2 against Milwaukee. 

This is where the good news for the Celtics and their fans stops. 

NBA playoff teams on six-game winning streaks and are priced as a road underdog are a money-burning 8-24 straight-up for 25% wins and 11-20-1 against the spread for 36% winning bets over the past 20 playoff seasons. 

These teams are 1-7 straight-up and 2-6 against the spread for 25% winners spanning the last five playoff seasons. 

If they are road dogs of 4.5 points or less, they have been 3-9 straight-up and against the spread over the past 20 playoff seasons.

 

Betting the Total in This Game

The betting markets have the total for Game 3 priced at 212.5 points and the following system supports a bet on the Over and has produced an 81-51-4 record, good for 61.4% winning bets over the past five seasons. 

The requirements are to bet the Over with any team, in this example the Celtics, leading by 15 or more points at the half in their previous game and taking on a foe that scored 45 or fewer points in the first half of their last game.

I am betting on the Over 212.5 points in this game.
