Week 11 Betting Adjustments

The NBA season is halfway through. Most teams have enough time to sort out their respective narratives. The NBA All-Star Weekend is in February.

Jaren Jackson Jr. returned to the Grizzlies on November 15th after a foot injury. Since his return, Memphis have gone 14-8 and are half a game back of the No. 1 seed. Jackson has been playing 25.8 minutes per game and is the top ranked player on FanDuel's defensive rating. Steven Adams, Dillon Brooks and Jackson have a 101.0 defensive ratings together.

Brooklyn has been on an 11-game win streak. Joel Embiid, James Harden and Tyrese Maxey have been injured. The Sixers have won 3-1 without them. They are currently 10-2 in their last 12 games. Their upcoming schedule is easier than Brooklyn's. They play most of their games against teams below .500.

Toronto Raptors fans are frustrated with their team's inconsistent play.

OG Anunoby has earned the right to be in the Defensive Player of the Year conversation.

Pascal Siakam is on the way to another All-NBA team selection. He's averaging 28.5 ppg, 7.7 rpg and 6.6 apg in 15 games in the last month. Oddsmakers are taking note.

The NBA is seeing a lot of high-scoring players. Doncic leads the pack averaging 46.4 points over his last four games. Giannis Antetokounmpo's point prop was set at 36.5. The MVP race is entertaining with roughly five to eight players worthy of winning the trophy.

The divisional pricing went through major peaks and valleys. Boston Celtics were -3000 to win the Atlantic in the second week of December. Today they're one ahead of Brooklyn and only priced at -300. The Pacific division was -1200 to be won by the LA Clippers a month ago. Now it's +50 cents off the current price.

Curry suffered a shoulder injury and Devin Booker will be out for at least four weeks with a groin strain. Leonard and George are regaining their form over the holidays.

Sixth Man of the Year is still Russell Westbrook, Jordan Poole and Malcolm Brogdon. Norman Powell was the sixth shortest option ahead of opening night for this award. He fell flat on his face over the first month and got injured, missing over two weeks. Before Christmas, he returned to the lineup and is averaging 15.7 ppg. Malik Monk is a second-half player for the Sacramento Kings who is outperforming expectations this season.
