It’s back like it never left. Just over one month after the Lakers won their 17th title in franchise history, the 2020-2021 NBA season tips off Tuesday night with two heavyweight fights: Brooklyn Nets vs. Golden State Warriors at 6 p.m. and Lakers vs. Clippers at 9 p.m.
Who doesn’t like to bet on the NBA? With PointsBet’s opening night boosters, the money is there for the taking.
PointsBet Opening Night Odds Boosts
Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving Combine For 50+ Points (+110)
I’m not sure what I’d say to you if you passed on this opportunity. PointsBet has boosted the odds to (+110) for two of the biggest buckets in the league to do what they do on most nights.
Both KD and Irving are coming off serious injuries, but if you caught any Nets’ preseason action you saw KD doing KD things. He looks like he’s back to form, he’s facing his former team, and this bet is a no brainer.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis Combine For 50+ Points (-110)
The best duo in the league going head-to-head in a rivalry game against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers is going to be must-see TV. Both James and Davis averaged over 25 points per game last season, and I expect that to continue this year too.
One thing to note is that the Lakers filled out their roster in the offseason with some very nice pieces. Wesley Matthews, Dennis Schroder, and Montrezl Harrell are going to make this team much more dangerous in 2021 on both sides of the ball.
Offensively, Schroder is an upgrade over Rondo, Matthews showed some nice three-point shooting in Milwaukee, and Harrell will play a good amount off the bench. There are only so many points to go around, but that being said I would still take this bet in a rivalry game against the Clippers.
Stephen Curry To Record 5+ Made Three-Pointers (+100)
The greatest three-point shooter in the history of the league making five threes is a solid bet any day of the week. With Klay Thompson out, the Warriors will rely on Curry to do it all.
If/until Andrew Wiggins proves he can shoot from distance consistently, Steph will likely attempt a record amount of three-pointers this year.
Giannis Antetokounmpo: 25 Points and 10 Rebounds (+110)
The back-to-back reigning MVP, and arguably the most dynamic player in the NBA can score 25 points and 10 rebounds in his sleep. If you watch the Bucks as much as I do, you’ll see that Antetokounmpo has his fingerprints on every possession. He also loves playing the Boston Celtics.
Last season, he averaged 29 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists with a deeper frontcourt. Since the Bucks have little to no depth in the forward category, Antetokounmpo will likely play a few more minutes a game.
This bet is easy money. The Celtics have no one who can guard the Greek Freak, and frankly, no one in the league does.
