NBA Teaser Picks: Basketball Bets, Odds to Consider on DraftKings Sportsbook for February 1
There’s a new Teaser tool in the DraftKings Sportsbook Stats Hub. Check it out to make your own Teaser plays for NBA and NFL games.
The tool allows us to toggle the tease total to see how a play has performed against various numbers. Normally, I stick to the default of 4 points, but I dipped down a little extra for PHI-UTA.
Teaser odds: +141
Knicks +1.5
The Pacers made it interesting vs. Boston in Tyrese Haliburton’s return, but the star is questionable going into Thursday. Whether or not he’ll play isn’t the matter. This pick is made under the assumption Haliburton (questionable) will be good to go.
The concern is the amount of minutes he’ll play. He logged 22 last time out, and it’s hard to imagine Indy will push him much more than that on Thursday. While any minutes he can manage should give the Pacers a boost, it won’t be enough against a Knicks team that’s looking to make up for the last time these two teams met — when the Pacers dropped 140 on the Knicks in Indy.
Teasing New York by four points essentially turns this into a moneyline play. Looking at it from a straight-up lens, the Knicks are 14-3 straight-up as home favorites.
Jazz ML
Utah is in a similar situation as the Knicks. Teasing the Jazz down to a moneyline play puts them in a spot where they’ve been perfect all season. In their seven games as home favorites, the Jazz have yet to lose. On top of that, the 76ers are 1-9 straight-up as road dogs (4-6 ATS). Furthermore, Philly is 1-7 straight-up when playing as a dog after a loss. And while it’s a small sample size, the Jazz are 3-1 straight-up when playing as a favorite after a loss.
