It is a relatively quiet Friday night in the NBA with just six games on the schedule. There’s still plenty of betting value to be found, though, starting off in the City of Brotherly Love with an MVP candidate.

Portland has the second-worst defence in the NBA since the trade deadline. The Sixers offence has been explosive, ranking fourth in the NBA for the season. Much of that dominance can be attributed to the monstrous play of Joel Embiid.
Embiid averages 33.3 per game this season. He has gone over this line in three of his last four. The Jusuf Nurkic and Drew Eubanks centre combination has no chance of guarding him. The Cameroonian has also scored 37, 35 and 32 in his last three against Portland.
Philly winning in a blowout is the biggest threat to this player prop, but Embiid just dropped 39 in 28 minutes against the Timberwolves. There’s serious value here.

With two slow-paced teams and elite defences going head-to-head, this is set to be a low-scoring game, just as their three previous meetings have been this season.
So, it might seem counter-intuitive to be looking at overs in the player props markets. Jimmy Butler, though, has exceeded this number in six of his last eight, including a 28-point showing against Cleveland a couple of days ago.
A lack of two-way wings is the Cavs’ biggest weakness. Their options to guard Butler are limited outside of Evan Mobley.
Look for Butler to get another hometown whistle after 15 free-throw attempts on Wednesday. Only seven players average more trips to the charity stripe in home games this season, which should help Butler get into the mid-twenties in points.

The Raptors have lost three of their last four and are 12-22 on the road this season. The Lakers have beaten the Warriors and Grizzlies by comfortable margins in their last two, and have gone 7-4 since revamping their roster at the trade deadline.
Even with LeBron James sidelined, Los Angeles has looked like a functioning NBA team. Anthony Davis is back to playing at an elite level, dropping 38, 39 and 30 points over his last three outings. He is being aggressive again, and should get to the line a lot against this foul-heavy Raptors defence.
The Lakers were flat-out bad at the start of this season. A lot has changed since the deadline, however, and Davis is driving them to wins over the last week. There’s great value with homecourt advantage here.

A basketball acca is an accumulator bet, a type of bet that consists of several selections across different matches that are combined together into one single bet. An acca usually. consists of at least four selections but many more can be included. There will be odds for the single bet as a whole which is calculated by multiplying the odds of all of the selections. A basketball acca is one of the most popular ways to bet. This is the case because they can create potentially massive odds for a small stake. Many punters choose to create NBA accas which is what we have created here. If one of these selections loses then the basketball acca will lose. This type of bet needs every selection to win in order to succeed.
