Monday's holiday NBA schedule features games throughout the entire day, starting at 12:30 p.m. ET. And while that gives bettors about 13 straight hours of potential action, wiseguys will be waiting around for tonight's final tip to get their sweat in.
Of the 11 games on tap, tonight's Lakers-Warriors matchup has been especially intriguing to wiseguys, who have jumped on both the spread and total.
As you'd expect, the Warriors are sizable favorites against the LeBron-less Lakers. After opening at -10.5, Golden State moved to -12 behind a whopping 87% of bets and 95% of money.
That's when sharps stepped in.
Per Sports Insights' Bet Signals, pros hit the Lakers four times, causing a few books to drop the line back to -11.5. No other team has drawn more than two Bet Signals today.
Sharps weren't satisfied with just one bet, however. They've also been hammering the under since the total opened at 235, moving the number down to 234.
Overall, bets are split down the middle on the high total. But the 50% of bets on the under have accounted for 66% of actual dollars wagered, meaning it's drawing the bigger bets — the ones more likely to be made by sharps.
Three Bet Signals have also been triggered on the under, confirming that wiseguys are in fact at play.
