Friday’s NBA injuries open the door for betting picks at great odds, while Grant’s Action Lounge has been partying since Thursday night for good reason.
The second half of the NBA season is typically chaotic and volatile, post all-star break, but that’s not always a terrible thing form a betting angle.
While it’s a headache from a daily fantasy sports perspective, with frequent rotation and lineup shuffling, the door gets propped open for some big potential paydays on the sportsbooks.
Earlier this week, many of our NBA experts were heavily invested in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who took the court without Lu Dort, Josh Giddey and a host of other teammates.
There is plenty of math behind that play, which makes sense why SGA could be “surely great advice” again on Friday against Minnesota (hint, hint) in a similar situation.
Climb The Ladder
When an NBA player is in a smash situation, typically due to a newer role or teammates not playing, unique opportunities pop up to capitalize on.
Step-by-step, sometimes you have to climb the ladder to get to the top.
Earlier this week, SGA covered over his 27.5 points prop line, but also hit 35+ at great odds, and came up just short of dropping 40+ points at roughly +900 odds.
Grant Neiffer wrote up two “climb the ladder” plays for Friday under his expert pick analysis (and there’s a chance I join the party). You don’t want to miss either of them.
Speaking of…
Grant had a massive night in his new discord channel, “Grant’s Action Lounge.”

Neiffer’s card, via the lounge, went 17-6, +10.82 units on Thursday.
Party on.
If you don’t get enough of him during the daily “Live Locks Sports Betting Show (presented by ScoresAndOdds), Grant shares his betting card in his FREE channel.
