NBA Finals betting tips

Is momentum real?

For those who like to make an NBA bet or two, one of the great questions in sports and sports gambling is how much impact does momentum have in a playoff series? If a team hits a game winning three-pointer at the buzzer, does that mean they have an advantage in the next game?

Sportsbooks do a great job of understanding the public mentality and will adjust their NBA odds and NBA spreads based on how they feel the general public wants to bet. NBA odds are often a reflection of how the general public perceives a possible outcome as sportsbooks try to take advantage if they believe that the general public is backing only one particular team.

Series sweeps

Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls won six championships, but they were never able to sweep an opponent in the NBA Finals. LeBron James has won four championships and even when he was playing for a stacked Miami Heat team, they never swept an opponent in the Finals.

Steph Curry and his Golden State Warriors are considered one of the greatest teams in NBA history and made it to five consecutive finals. Curry and the Warriors were able to complete a championship sweep just once. Even the greatest players and the greatest teams are likely to lose a couple of games in the NBA finals. Yes Jordan, LeBron and Steph are great players who led their teams to 13 combined championships, but they also lose along the way.
