Both teams are fighting to keep their positioning, so wins are important despite their current success. The season series is tied 1-1, so the winner of this third-and-final matchup will hold the tiebreaker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pelicans won the first meeting by four back on November 1, and the Thunder won the second meeting in dominating fashion on January 26. Both teams are playing very good basketball right now, but the Thunder are struggling to get bettors to the ticket window. Oklahoma City is 7-3 straight-up in its last ten games but just 2-8 against the spread. New Orleans is 8-2 straight-up in its last ten games while going 6-4 against the number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> In the month of March, the Pelicans are No. 2 in the NBA in net rating thanks to their No. 2-ranked defense. Brandon Ingram is still out for the Pelicans, while the Thunder continue to boast a squeaky-clean injury report. Both teams enter this contest on equal rest, so neither has an edge in that department. Still, we believe the Pelicans make for one of the best NBA underdog picks today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These teams are evenly matched, but we are going to ride with the home &#8216;dog here. The Thunder&#8217;s inability to cover spreads exemplifies that they are currently being overvalued in the market, while the Pelicans continue to defy expectations. Oklahoma City also does more of its damage at home, giving New Orleans another edge. Season-long stats favor the Thunder, but we are backing the recent stretch run by the Pelicans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>The GoldSheet team has just introduced a new product called GoldSheet Lite to help you handicap the NBA, NCAAB and MLB slate each day.

Kelly Stewart and Teddy Covers dive into essential sports betting strategies that can significantly improve your betting game. They cover three critical topics: managing losing streaks, the importance of line shopping, and betting tips for the NBA after the All-Star break. #SportsBetting #BettingStrategy #BettingTips 1. Overcoming Losing Streaks: Acceptance: Acknowledge that losing streaks are a part of betting. Every bettor, regardless of experience, faces them. Take a Step Back: Sometimes, taking a day off to breathe and reassess your strategies can help clear your mind and prevent further losses. Adjust Your Bets: Ensure your unit sizes reflect your current bankroll to avoid compounding losses. 2. Line Shopping: A Key to Betting Success: Half Points Matter: Shopping around for the best lines ensures you don&#039;t have to buy points, saving money in the long run. Avoid Loyalty to a Single Book: With multiple sportsbooks available, especially in states with legal sports betting, diversifying your options can lead to better odds and higher profits. Finding Value: Line shopping can turn losses into pushes and pushes into wins, providing a significant edge over time. 3. NBA Betting After the All-Star Break: Seek Under-the-Radar Teams: Small market teams that are performing well but aren&#039;t getting as much attention can offer great value. Ignore Seeding and Must-Win Narratives: These factors are often already priced into the lines and don&#039;t provide the motivational edge many assume. Be Cautious with Teams Tanking: While players may not intentionally lose, a lack of effort or focus in games can make betting on bottom feeders risky. Teddy Covers shares his expertise on how to navigate the complex world of sports betting with practical advice on managing losing streaks, the benefits of line shopping, and insights into NBA betting post-All-Star break. These strategies are designed to help bettors make informed decisions and increase their chances of profitable betting. 3-Line Summary: Teddy Covers discusses strategies for handling losing streaks in sports betting, emphasizing the importance of taking a step back and reassessing your approach. He explains the value of line shopping and how it can significantly increase your betting profits by avoiding the need to buy points. For NBA betting post-All-Star break, Teddy highlights the advantage of focusing on under-the-radar, small market teams and cautions against placing too much importance on seeding or must-win narratives. \ud83d\udc4d Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to WagerTalk TV; \ud83d\udd14 CLICK the Bell and never miss an episode! \ud83e\udd11 Free Sports Picks: https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks \ud83d\udcca Live Odds: https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/odds \ud83d\uddde\ufe0f News: https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news \ud83d\udc4d Stay connected with WagerTalk \ud83d\udcfa YouTube: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/tv \ud83d\udc4d Facebook: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/fb \ud83d\udc26 Twitter: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/tw \ud83d\udcf8 Instagram: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/ig \ud83d\udcf0 Reddit: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/rd \u2764\ufe0f iHeart Radio: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/iheart \ud83c\udf4e Apple Podcasts: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/ap \ud83d\udccc Pinterest: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/pin\"><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/-FK_bhmG2GU\/0.jpg\"><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT16M36S\"><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2024-03-12T15:47:39Z\"><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WagerTalk Live Odds Screen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WagerTalk\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/odds?sport=L5&amp;type=4&amp;cb=0.041518762314237456\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">live odds screen<\/a> features up-to-the-minute lines from a variety of offshore and domestic sports books.
