VW looking like a pure beast for a 1st season player, 2 blocks in about 5 seconds tonight in the 4th Q, then a couple of big plays in OT!
Buuuuut for a big man, he has a previous history of injuries, and shit ain't gonna get easier in the big big games when the X is on his back when he's playing as often as NBA play.
......not saying he's the next Wilt/Kareem/Michael/LeBron......but if I played Fantasy NBA I'd definitely have him in the starting lineup.
Watching NBA and seeing those 6'7" dudes look small next to a rookie guy is always a giggle

Is there anyone out there still trading the NBA?
What's the difference between the 'Total Points' and 'Total Points Line' markets on Betfair?
Cheers

Hi everyone,
I know it’s currently off-season for the NBA, but this question just came to mind. On basketball markets, the odds on spreads stay almost locked around 2.0 whether it’s Handicap Spread or Over/Under. They rarely move much beyond 2.2 on either side which makes the market feel very restricted.
In football, it’s the opposite: handicap and total goals markets can stretch much wider, often reaching odds of 4.0, 6.0, or even 10.0+. On basketball, that kind of range simply doesn’t exist.
I understand that I can technically offer a higher price myself, but how realistic is it that such odds would ever actually get matched in an NBA market?
Is this because of the way handicaps and totals are structured in basketball, or more about liquidity and the way Betfair sets up these markets?
Thanks in advance for any insights!
