The Brooklyn Nets have to be considered a "feel-good" story in the NBA bubble. They were tremendous underdogs who literally overcame a lot of genuine adversity, and here they are in the playoffs for the second consecutive year. BetAnySports customers are rightfully charmed by what they've been able to do, but at the same time they wonder whether the clock has struck twelve on this Cinderella story.

That's the kind of thing that could happen against the defending champion Toronto Raptors, who have played extremely well in the seeding games, winning seven of eight.

Coming into the bubble, the Nets were already without the likes of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Taurean Prince, Nic Claxton, Spencer Dinwiddie, Wilson Chandler and DeAndre Jordan. That constitutes practically an entire rotation. But fortunately they still had Caris LeVert, who has taken on the role of "go-to guy" in a big way. LeVert was expected to take on a considerable burden, and he has responded. He has had the fifth highest Usage rate in the seeding games, and lest anyone think that he's been a ball hog, he's also shared it, to the tune of 6.7 assists per contest.

The Nets went 5-3 in these last eight games, bringing their record to 35-37 straight-up (37-35 against the basketball pointspread), and Jacque Vaughn, who replaced Kenny Atkinson on an interim basis as head coach, may have been able to extend his tenure with the job he's done.

But he'd have to do a super-human job to beat the Raptors. According to the NBA playoff odds posted at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, the Nets are huge underdogs:

<strong>Toronto Raptors -2150</strong>
<strong>Brooklyn Nets +1300</strong>

There were some who even wondered whether Brooklyn could win more than a game or two. But they have defied all of that.

At the heart of their success has been a decision on the part of Vaughn to get LeVert a little more out "in space," by playing him at the high post in a scheme where the offense ran through him. This gave him more opportunities to have the ball in his hands.

And the offense has worked; the Nets scored 115 or more points in six straight games. Remember, however, that they are going against a Toronto squad that had the best Defensive Rating in the seeding games. NBA bettors need to consider that the Raptors can conceivably take the Nets' best option away, so they need to have more ammunition.

Sure, they have Joe Harris, who is a very talented shooter from long-range, as well as Jarrett Allen, who has made a lot of progress at the center spot. One pickup who could be critical in the playoff series is 40-year-old Jamal Crawford, who can still add instant offense off the bench. That is, if his hamstring doesn't act up.

Vaughn has done a great job of improvisation. And maybe you could have named him NBA "Coach of the Bubble" (with apologies to Monty Williams of Phoenix). But everyone know that the lack of depth is going to catch up to this team sooner or later. And when you play against a team like Toronto, which is so sound on both sides of the ball, "sooner" is the operative word. You can get a price of +140 on Toronto winning this series both in five games or four games. So take your pick.

Connecticut Huskies vs Butler Bulldogs NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/21/24

The Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club is a continuation of the Florida swing for the PGA Tour. After last week’s WGC-Workday Championship at the unforgiving Concession Golf Club, the players will have to tackle another tough course here in Bay Hill.

This is another invitational tournament, which means a smaller field than most with a stricter set of qualifications that must be met. This is one of five tournaments with such a distinction, including the Genesis Invitational that we had in California just recently. The field consists of 120 players this week and another strong group of golfers are on hand.

We’ll use the odds from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie"><strong>MyBookie Sportsbook</strong></a> to put together a few picks to win the tournament and shed some light on the matchups and other options as well.
<h3><strong><u>The Field</u></strong></h3>
We’ll save the odds for last, but there are a few names noticeably absent from this week’s event. Rory McIlroy is the favorite at +1000, followed by Viktor Hovland and Bryson DeChambeau at +1200, defending champion Tyrrell Hatton at +1600, and then Patrick Reed and Sungjae Im at +2000.

This is not like the WGC field. There are some very good players spread across the +2500 to +5000 range, but we’re missing a lot of the girth at the top that pushed guys like Collin Morikawa down into the +4000 to +4500 range last week. Instead, we’ve got Matthew Fitzpatrick, Paul Casey, Hideki Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, Louis Oosthuizen, Francesco Molinari, Billy Horschel, Tommy Fleetwood, Marc Leishman, Max Homa, Sam Burns, and Will Zalatoris in that range this week.

Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, and Jon Rahm are the three biggest names absent from this week, but we also don’t see guys like Tony Finau, Brooks Koepka, Morikawa, Webb Simpson, and Patrick Cantlay on hand. Bay Hill is a really tough course that some players simply don’t enjoy.
<h3><strong><u>The Course</u></strong></h3>
The lengthy par 72 checks in between 7,400 and 7,500 yards depending on the setup and it is one of the most difficult courses on an annual basis. Windy conditions depressed the winning score last year when Tyrrell Hatton won at 4-under over Marc Leishman.

The list of winners at Bay Hill is fascinating. A lot of elite ball strikers have won, like Tiger Woods, Ty Hatton, Francesco Molinari, Rory, Leishman, and Day, but also guys like Matt Every and Martin Laird. More often than not, a really good player wins here.

Three holes played below par last year and one hole played exactly to par. Two of the holes that played under par were par 5s, so players absolutely need to take advantage of those. Par 4 scoring is really important here. Par is a good score and a birdie is a great score on most of them.

<h3><strong><u>Yay or Neigh?</u></strong></h3>
In our horse for course section, we look at how players have done recently at Bay Hill. Golf handicappers always quibble about whether or not course form or recent form is more important. We’ll let you know about both and you can decide for yourself.

Recent winners in the field this week are Hatton, Laird, Leishman, Rory, Molinari, and Every. Along with his win, Hatton was fourth in 2017. Laird hasn’t finished in the top 25 otherwise. Leishman was second last year and seventh in 2018 right after his win in 2017. He was also third back in 2011. Rory has four straight top-six finishes, including that win in 2018. Molinari has four top-10 finishes since 2014, with his win coming in 2019. Every won back-to-back in 2014-15 and has four missed cuts in five tries since.

Joel Dahmen was fifth last year. DeChambeau was fourth last year and second in 2018. Fitzpatrick was ninth last year, second two years ago, and 13th back in 2017. Tommy Fleetwood missed the cut last year, but was third, 26th, and 10th the three years prior. Lucas Glover also missed the cut last year after a couple of top 10s over the previous three years.

Charley Hoffman has three top-15 finishes in the last four years, including a second in 2017. Sungjae Im has finished third back-to-back times. Jason Kokrak has five top-20 finishes in the last seven years, including three top-10 finishes, with the most recent in 2019. Luke List has three top-20 finishes in a row. He did not play last year.

Kevin Na has three top-10 finishes here, but the most recent was 2015. Justin Rose has four, with his most recent in 2018. He missed the cut last year. Henrik Stenson is in terrible form and his best days seem to be behind him, but he had a run from 2013-18 with five top-eight finishes in six years.
<h3><strong><u>Handicap &amp; Picks</u></strong></h3>
This is a really tough course for rolling the rock. These Bermuda greens are among the fastest on the Tour and that often presents problems for the players. Strokes gained Off the Tee are really important as well. This is a long course that is fairly wind and forgiving, but shot angles into the greens are very important. Proximity to the hole is a big help with these fast-paced greens, so the players that set themselves up for the best shots often do well.

Of the short prices, Patrick Reed at +2000 is the one I like the most. Reed is in pretty good form with a win at the Farmers Insurance Open and a top-10 last week at the WGC event. Reed is second in SG: Putting since the new season started. Reed has a well-rounded game. He’s not a big hitter, but he’s accurate enough and he’s done well with the irons and wedges. He’s also played well here with two top-15 finishes in his three starts. Reed is also third in birdie or better percentage on par 4s and that will be important this week.

At +3500, Molinari is also in some outstanding form with three top-10 finishes in his last four events. His prices have been dropping like a rock and this may be the last week that we get something of a decent price on him. He’s at least a good consideration for matchups.

Lastly, for a long shot look, Emiliano Grillo is +11000. Grillo would have missed the cut last year anyway, but was disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard. He’s in much better form this year with an 11th last week and another top-25 finish a few weeks ago. He’s played well here for the most part. He’s got that big, balloon number and is 13th in SG: OTT and fifth in GIR%. He’ll have to roll the rock better than he has, but everything else lines up.

Golf Channel and NBC will have your coverage throughout the week.

Detroit Pistons vs Phoenix Suns Betting Pick & Prediction 12/21/24

Yes, it's a big Christmas in the NBA, as it usually is, and the Miami Heat will kick things off as they host the New Orleans Pelicans.
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>NEW ORLEANS PELICANS at MIAMI HEAT, 12:05 PM ET</strong></span></h3>
<h4><strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports">BetAnySports</a> NBA Betting Odds; Heat -3.5, Total 221.5</strong></h4>
The New Orleans Pelicans know that there is a real future in front of them. On those occasions when they had a healthy lineup, they were rather formidable. But they figured that they had to make a move to get to the next level. So they said goodbye to journeyman coach Alvin Gentry and brought Stan Van Gundy aboard.

Listen - Van Gundy is not exactly a "2.0" selection. He doesn't embrace analytics like the rest of the league. So don't expect that he will gratuitously have his team shooting triples. But he is a guy who relates to players, and he will have his work cut out for him as he assembles a roster that has been overhauled to a considerable extent.

Trading Jrue Holiday was a big move. But New Orleans may have improved itself on defense on an overall basis, as they brought in Eric Bledsoe, George Hill and Steve Adams. When it comes to Adams, it's about being physical and not letting anyone bully the Pels inside. And we imagine it's also about complementing the two stars, who at the moment are Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram.

Point guard Lonzo Ball, who like Ingram came over in the trade that sent Anthony Davis to the Lakers, is steady but not a great shooter, and he was not offered a contract extension, which means he'll likely explore the free agent market after the season. With Bledsoe, Hill and rookie Kira Lewis, the Pelicans must feel they can afford to lose him if they have to.

In the opener, Ingram had a sensational evening (24 points, nine rebounds, eleven assists, three steals) as the Pels went to Tampa and beat the Toronto Raptors (who have transplanted there) 113-99. JJ Redick, who played for Van Gundy in Orlando, made six triples.

And speaking of Orlando, the Heat lost their opener 113-107 to the Magic. Last year's team was a tough act to follow, making it to the NBA Finals with undrafted players like Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn occupying key roles, and Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo suffering injuries. Certain role players like Mo Harkless were brought in who would not upset the chemistry.

Dragic is back to his role of coming off the bench, and the combo guard poured in 20 points. Adebayo (25 points), who averaged 15.9 points and 10.2 rebounds last season, appears ready to make a big leap. But there is the feeling on the part of many that the Heat overachieved just a few months ago.

Interestingly, Van Gundy coached in Miami up until the year before they won their first NBA title. He has an impressive array of talent, and with the veteran pickups there is less of a worry that he'll have a team that lacks the experience to contend. because contend they will. How minutes Zion (who has suffered through injuries that have slowed him down) can play in the early going is disputable. But no one will get a free trip down the lane, thanks to Adams, and they won't have to worry about having to keep up with Miami up and down the floor, since the Heat doesn't play that kind of game.

There won't be any surprises here if New Orleans gets to 2-0 in the Sunshine State.
