FanDuel First Bet on Lakers-Nuggets Game 1

The Lakers haven’t found the best results ATS in their last seven trips to Denver — going 1-5-1 against the Nuggets and have been 2-4 ATS on the road in the playoffs. The Nuggets are 5-1 at home ATS this playoffs and the home team covered and won in all regular season meetings between these two.

As opposed to our example above, let’s take Denver’s points to demonstrate how the first bet on the house would shake out. Say we bet the $1,000 on Nuggets +6

• A winning bet gives us $95.24 in winnings and we keep the $100 wager.
• If the Nuggets can’t win by six or more, we get $100 back in bonus bets at FanDuel, which we’ll talk about next.

FanDuel Bonus Bets: Creating a Parlay

With bonus bets, we want to lengthen odds since we won’t keep the stake with a win. Our +EV betting guide explains how plus money will accrue more value over time — regardless of winning and losing ratio. So we’ll avoid taking the spread with these opportunities.

We broke down some odds examples using $50 to explain why this is the more beneficial decision:

Prop Bomb composed a three-leg same game parlay for Game 1 of Anthony Davis 20+ Points (-270), Aaron Gordon 5+ Rebounds (-295) and Denver Nuggets Moneyline (-245):

• Anthony Davis 20+ Points:

Simply put, aside from Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets need more size to help with rim protection on Davis. Among all playoff teams, Denver has allowed opposing players to make the most field goals within eight feet (23.5 field goals per game) at a 61.1% conversation rate (fourth-highest).

• Aaron Gordon 5+ Rebounds:

Aaron Gordon is averaging 6.1 rebounds per game in the playoffs and has safely secured five or more boards in 10 of his last 11 games. When playing at least 32 minutes with Jokic available, he has collected five or more boards in 22 of the last 25 games (88% rate).

• Nuggets ML:

Entering the series with a rest disadvantage, it will be tough to see LeBron and company steal a game in the Mile High. Oddsmakers have priced the Lakers as 6.5-point underdogs, so taking the Nuggets straight up makes sense as a preferred approach.

Let’s say we have $1,000 in bonus bets in our account. At +165 odds, we’ll place $100 in bonus bets on this SGP Tuesday. Here’s the optics on the bet:
