Next
Coach to Be Fired
Atlanta’s
Lloyd Pierce didn’t make it halfway through the 2020-21 season before being
fired this week. The Hawks lost for the 11th time after possessing a
fourth-quarter lead.
Atlanta is
just 14-20 and 11th in the Eastern Conference standings. Now that Pierce is
gone, who’s next?
The
favorite is Sacramento head coach Luke Walton at +275. The Kings are the worst
defensive team in the NBA. They have lost 10 of their last 11 games and their
most recent loss is the reason why Walton will be next.
The Kings
led Charlotte by eight with 53 seconds to play. Sacramento lost 127-126. The
Kings only win in their last 11 games is over Detroit whose head coach Dwane
Casey is given +275 odds to be fired next.

Info - Back the Jazz
Utah is on
pace for a historic season. The Jazz are 27-8 overall and the team has been extremely
good to bettors. Utah is 25-10 ATS and has covered in 11 of its last 14
games.
The Jazz’s
performance brings back memories of the team’s 1994-95 team led by Karl Malone
and John Stockton. That team went 60-22 overall and 52-28-2 ATS. It was one of
the most prolific betting seasons in NBA
history.
Back
These Road Dogs in 2021
The smarter
bettor will dig for value. Every so often, NBA bettors will find a road
underdog that just makes perfect sense to back.
Some of the
best this season include the Oklahoma City Thunder. Now, the Thunder are just
14-20 overall, but they perform very well on the road.
OKC is only
8-9 SU on the road, but their defense keeps them in games. So far this season,
the Thunder has paid off as a road underdog covering the spread in 12 of 17
away games.
The Bulls
are 9-2 ATS as a road dog and San Antonio (6-1 ATS), Portland (8-4 ATS), and
Phoenix (5-0 ATS) are others to watch when they are on the road as an underdog.

Defense
Wins Championships
Last
season, the Lakers won an NBA title led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis. What
often goes unnoticed is the Lakers defense.
In 2020,
the Lakers were third in points allowed during the regular season (107.3). So
far in 2021, the Lakers are second allowing opponents an average of 105.6
points per game.
Going back
to the 2018-19 season, that year’s champion, the Toronto Raptors, finished
sixth in scoring defense during the regular season.
The Knicks
are No. 1 while other contenders like Utah, Phoenix, and the LA Clippers round
out the top five best defensive teams in the league this year.
