An NBA Playoff Betting Angle

One of the most reliable betting angles in pro sports happens during the first round of the NBA playoffs. Teams that are down 0-2 (games) and returning to their home court for Game 3 are automatic bets whenever you see the situation. This means identifying the teams that lost the first two games of a playoff series (both on the road), and then bet on them to win and/or cover the spread in the third game. Note the NBA plays a 2-2-1-1-1 format, which means Game 3 is always a change of venue.
