FanDuel Sportsbook NBA Odds Boosts

In the hours immediately following the announcement of the NBA’s plans to formally restart the 2019-2020 season, FanDuel Sportsbook released three stellar basketball odds boosts:

  • Los Angeles Lakers to win NBA Finals (boosted from +270 to +350)
  • Milwaukee Bucks vs. Los Angeles Clippers NBA Finals matchup (boosted from +351 to +440)
  • Philadelphia 76ers to win the Eastern Conference (boosted from +900 to +1400)

Of course, these three FanDuel Sportsbook odds boosts are appealing for a variety of reasons.

The Lakers are currently the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference with a 49-14 record, while the Bucks are the Eastern Conference’s top team at 53-12. Typically, No. 1 seeds generate a ton of betting interest, so there’s plenty of incentive to back the favorites with these potentially lucrative odds boosts.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Clippers are currently the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference with a 44-20 mark. Those who don’t believe LeBron James and the Lakers will reach the NBA Finals can grab some value on the Clippers to square off against the Bucks.

Finally, the 76ers to win the Eastern Conference is an intriguing play, especially with FanDuel Sportsbook’s boosted odds (+1400).

Certainly, the Sixers possess the talent to make a run, but Ben Simmons’ back injury and inconsistent play plagued the Sixers prior to the shutdown. While they appeared headed for an early playoff exit, many now believe the restart could provide the 76ers with new life and new energy, propelling the team to a deep postseason run.

In order to make such a run, Philadelphia will have to find a way to win away from the Wells Fargo Center where it was a lights-out 29-2 this season. Can the Sixers turn around a miserable 10-24 mark away from home while down in Orlando?

Stay tuned.
