Who Is the Public Betting on in the NBA?

The public betting is a good indicator of where the money is going in the NBA. These are the teams that the public is betting on the most.

The Public’s Favorite Teams

The Los Angeles Lakers

A recent poll showed that the Los Angeles Lakers are the favorite team of the public. In the NBA, the Lakers have won 16 championships, which is the most in NBA history. The team has been to 31 Finals, which is also the most in NBA history.

The Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors are the public’s favorite team to bet on in the NBA. Why is this? Well, the Warriors have been the most successful team in the NBA over the past few years. They have won three NBA Championships in the last four years, and they are currently the odds-on favorite to win it all again this year.

The Warriors are not just a popular team to bet on because they win a lot, but also because they are an exciting team to watch. They play an up-tempo style of basketball that is filled with highlight-reel plays. Additionally, the Warriors have two of the best players in the world in Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. Curry is one of the most popular players in the NBA, and Durant is a former MVP.

If you are looking to bet on an NBA team, the Golden State Warriors should be at the top of your list.

The Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks are an American professional basketball team based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Bucks compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league’s Eastern Conference Central Division. The team was founded in 1968 as an expansion team, and play at the Fiserv Forum. Former U.S. Senator Herb Kohl was the long-time owner of the team, but on April 16, 2014, a group led by billionaire hedge fund managers Wes Edens and Marc Lasry agreed to purchase a majority interest in the team from Kohl, a sale which was approved by the NBA on May 16. The team is managed by Jon Horst, while Mike Budenholzer is their head coach.

In 2018–19, the Bucks registered 60 wins for just the fourth time in franchise history and first since 1981–82; they also won their first division title since 1980–81 (when they were in the now-defunct Midwest Division). They swept their first two playoff series for just the second time ever (joining 2001), before losing to eventual NBA champion Toronto Raptors in six games during the Eastern Conference Finals, marking their farthest playoff run since 1980 when they lost to eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals.

The Public’s Least Favorite Teams

It’s no secret that the NBA is a star-driven league. The most popular players are usually on the best teams, and the best players usually have the biggest fanbases. But there are always a few teams that the public just doesn’t seem to like. Here are the five teams that the public is betting against the most this season.

The Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets are the least popular team in the NBA, according to public betting data. The Hornets are currently getting just 26% of all bets placed on them, making them the most “unpopular” team in the league. That means that for every four bets placed on the Hornets, only one is being placed on them to win.

The Hornets have been a consistently poor bet this season, going 19-36-1 against the spread. That includes an 0-7 ATS record in their last seven games. Bettors have lost a ton of money betting on the Hornets this season, and it doesn’t looks like that trend is going to change anytime soon.

The Memphis Grizzlies

The Memphis Grizzlies are the least popular team in the NBA according to betting metrics. The team has often been plagued by injuries, and they’ve had trouble attracting high-profile free agents. This has led to a decline in fan interest, and the team has struggled to sell out its arena in recent years. Nevertheless, the Grizzlies have a loyal core of fans who remain hopeful that the team can turn things around.

The Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic are one of the most public teams in the NBA. They consistently find themselves as one of the most popular picks on both sides of the line. Despite their popularity, they have been one of the least successful teams in terms of against the spread (ATS) betting results.

Since 2009, the Magic have gone just 416-482-20 ATS. That includes a 35-47-1 ATS record over the last two seasons. This is despite receiving 53 percent of bets in those games.

This season has been more of the same for Orlando bettors. The Magic are currently 27-36-1 ATS, which is tied for the second-worst record in the league. They have received 52 percent of bets placed on them this season, yet they are still losing money for bettors.

The Magic are a perfect example of a team that the public loves to bet on but rarely ends up winning them money.

The Public’s Favorite Players

There is no doubt that the public loves to bet on the NBA. But who are they really betting on? Who are the public’s favorite players? Let’s take a look at the top 10 players that the public is betting on in the NBA.

LeBron James

LeBron James is one of the most famous and well-known NBA players today. He has been playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers since 2003, and has helped the team to win many championships. He is also a very successful individual player, winning many awards and accolades. Because of his skill and success, LeBron James is one of the most popular players in the NBA, and also one of the most popular athletes in general. This popularity means that he is often the subject of public betting.

The public loves to bet on LeBron James, and they have been very successful in doing so. In fact, since 2003, the public has won 57% of their bets on LeBron James. This success is likely due to a combination of factors, including his skill as a player, his high profile and his popularity. Whatever the reason, there is no doubt that LeBron James is one of the most popular players to bet on in the NBA.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a Greek professional basketball player for the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is 2.11 m (6 ft 11 in) tall and plays at the power forward and center positions. Giannis was selected 15th overall in the 2013 NBA draft by the Bucks. He is a four-time NBA All-Star, having been selected to the roster in each of the last four seasons. He was named Most Valuable Player (MVP) during the 2018–19 season after leading the Bucks to a league-best 60–22 record. He is also a two-time member of the All-NBA First Team (2019, 2020) and was named Defensive Player of the Year in 2020.

Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry is often considered the best player in the NBA. He has won two MVP awards and led the Golden State Warriors to two NBA Championships. He is a great shooter and scorer, and he has amazing handles for a 6’3″ player. The Warriors often play “small ball” with Curry as their center, which allows them to spread the floor and shoot a lot of threes. Curry is also a very good defender.

The Public’s Least Favorite Players

The public tends to bet on the favorites to win in the NBA. But there are a few players that the public just does not seem to like betting on. Here are the three players that the public is least likely to bet on in the NBA.

Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving is one of the most polarizing figures in the NBA. He’s a 6-time All-Star and a former MVP, but he’s also been accused of being a locker room cancer and a bad teammate. On the court, Irving is an incredible scorer and playmaker, but he has a tendency to disappear in big moments. That was on full display in this year’s playoffs, when Irving shot just 38.5 percent from the field and averaged 18.8 points per game.

The general consensus seems to be that Irving is a great player, but not a great person. And that’s reflected in his betting odds for next season’s MVP award. Irving has the fifth-best odds at +1200, meaning you would have to bet $1200 to win $100. The only players with worse odds are Russell Westbrook (+1000), Joel Embiid (+1100), Kemba Walker (+1100), and Trae Young (+1100).

In other words, the public is not betting on Kyrie Irving to win MVP next season. And that’s not really surprising, considering how much he seems to struggle in big moments.

Russell Westbrook

Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder is one of the most polarizing players in the NBA. Some people believe that he is a gifted athlete and an elite point guard, while others believe that his style of play is reckless and inefficient.

Westbrook is currently averaging a triple-double for the third straight season, but his team has struggled to win games. The Thunder are currently sitting in the eighth seed in the Western Conference, and they are at risk of missing the playoffs altogether.

Despite Westbrook’s individual success, the Thunder have not been a good bet for bettors this season. In fact, Westbrook has been one of the least profitable players to bet on this season.

Joel Embiid

Joel Embiid is the most polarizing player in the NBA. He is one of the most talented big men in the league, but his injuries have held him back throughout his career. The public loves betting on him because he has the potential to be a dominant force, but they also love betting against him because he is so injury-prone.
