The NBA Betting Streak Hangs by a Thread: Will Cavaliers and Jazz Break the Curse Tonight?

Rigged or not, the NBA was profitable for me Tuesday as I cashed both best bets. One was a sweat (the Over 229.5 in the Milwaukee Bucks’ 121-111 win vs. the New York Knicks), and the other was a rocking chair cover (the Golden State Warriors boat-raced the Los Angeles Clippers 98-79). 

After a shaky start, I’m now above-.500 with a positive return on investment betting on the NBA 2025-26 season. I’m sure I’ll give it all back eventually. Hell, maybe even Wednesday. But, frankly, I think I’m sharper than the NBA market, and this will be a bounce-back season for me. Even if the “closing line value” for the bets below, or lack thereof, says otherwise.
