Where’s The Value?
Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls are currently 27-11 and lead the East by 2.5 games. On Wednesday, they’ll take on the Brooklyn Nets. If the Bulls can beat the Nets, Chicago will be in a great position throughout the week.
Sitting at just +2100, it’s time to start eying the Bulls at this point. This team has plenty of stars and potential. Chicago is built to win right now and proves it each week.
Memphis Grizzlies
Memphis is currently 29-14 and will absolutely make the postseason. Portland is currently the 10th seed at just 16-24. So yeah, Memphis will be in the postseason.
The Grizzlies are currently sitting at +4200 to win the NBA Finals. Of course, it will be difficult for the Grizzlies to go all the way. But let’s not forget Memphis defeated the Warriors last season, 117-112 in the Western Conference, to become the eighth seed in the NBA Playoffs.
This team keeps getting better and better. Don’t tell this young squad that they can’t win.
Teams You Should Stay Away From
Milwaukee Bucks
What’s up with Milwaukee? After two straight losses to the Hornets, the Bucks are now 26-17. Record-wise, it’s not terrible, but Milwaukee is currently sitting at the four spot in the East. For example, they’d have to face the 76ers in the playoffs if the regular season ended today.
They won’t have an easy route to the postseason if they stay around the middle of the East.
Boston Celtics
I know it’s tempting to put your money on the Celtics, but Boston is just 20-21 on the year. If the Celtics made the postseason as a 10-seed, they’ve had to win the play-in game and then take on the one-seed like the Bulls. For Boston, it’s just not their year. At below .500 this deep into the season, there’s no value on Boston right now.
