The NBA is definitely the source of a lot of tears and joys through the years. It also, incidentally, is the source of wins and losses for a lot of sports bettors all over the globe. Every year, those who are avid fans tune in for both the preseason and the season proper. Now that the NBA preseason is about to start, anyone who is aiming to put their money where their favorites are should pay close attention to certain things.
These things are:
Player Composition
The players themselves comprise of the bulk of what makes a good bet or not. Pay attention to who got kept and who got traded. Usually, the composition of the team will determine if they’re going to do well or not.
Try to take note of whose personalities clash and factor in the stress that accompanies the game. Always keep in mind that just because two players don’t get along well does not mean that will always bleed into actual in-game performance.
Team Coach
The coaches are an integral part of the team. They, after all, look after the general welfare of the players and plan out and teach strategic plays. If the coach was pretty disappointing last season, you’ll need to make a decision early on how they factor into how their team is going to be. Will they be the same? Did the coach improve?
These are a few things that you should consider when you’re eyeing the coach.
Performance
The preseason is a rather good time to keep an eye out on how the teams are performing. If you have a particular team in mind, now would be a good time to check how the players are performing as well. The performance of the team overall will be the determining factor if you win a bet or you lose.
