This puts Vegas and the books at an extreme disadvantage. It’s a common trend for teams not to announce injured/resting players until moments before tip (and sometimes after).
Moments after an injury is the most advantageous time to place an NBA bet.During this time, you have the ability to get the side of the bet you like before the market and professional bettors influence that line (line movement/changes). The lines are now ‘soft’, meaning there is not much action (money) being placed yet. Once the NBA betting lines open, this is the friendliest time to place a bet.The two most opportunistic times to place a wager on the NBA are the moment the betting lines hit the marketplace and the moment after an injury is announced to a key player for any given team. Be aware of the TWO best times to place an NBA bet.
