Dabbled in the All-Star MVP market yesterday and even after the Giannis injury last night these numbers haven’t moved. With the top stats banged up, older, and/or are bigs who are against it in this type of game I see a bit of value. If you shop you will surely get better numbers but for simplicity here I’m using one books line. These are relatively small plays but I see ways to profit here…..total investment would be that of a small single game wager. Plus it’s a fun way to watch these shenanigans.
Giannis (+500), LeBron (+550), and Doncic (+650) are taking bulk of the action along with….Lillard (+600) and Tatum (+900), neither of whom figure to be going beyond 100% here. Many others can be safely eliminated such as Jokic, Bam, Sabonis, JJJ and DeRozan. There are some others who give me pause to completely discount like Siakam, Fox and Haliburton all at 40-1 and up.
The theme of this game is ballhandlers and scoring wings so Kyrie (+800) and Mitchell (+1200) in his return to Utah could go off. Kyrie’s price is too short so I passed on him. I’ll actually break it down by unit how I played this if anyone is interested. I did get a couple with better numbers than this but again only using book I have up right now…..
Morant (+1000) 1.35u
Mitchell (+1200) 1.25u
Shai-GA (+2000) .75u
Edwards (+3300) .5u
Fox (+4000) .125u
Siakam (+5000) .1u
Haliburton (+7500) .075u
I played some 3-pt stuff too I’ll write up later today. Market shouldn’t change.
