NBA Odds: Bettors Continue To Take Notice Of Profitable DeMar DeRozan
DeRozan has hit the Over on his point prop in 11 straight
Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan is putting together arguably the best season of his 13-year career and it seems bettors are taking notice.
DeRozan, an NBA All-Star who almost certainly will receive NBA MVP votes at season’s end, is averaging a career-best 28.3 points on 51.7% from the field and a career-high 36.5% from long range.
But DeRozan’s statistical successes are not limited to just that. The 32-year-old wing now has cashed in on the Over for his point propositional bet in 11 straight contests, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
DeRozan’s over/under 29.5 Saturday was the most-bet NBA player prop, and he cashed it when he scored 31 points as the Bulls lost to the Memphis Grizzlies. Well, for the second time in as many opportunities, DraftKings shared Monday how DeRozan’s identical O/U 29.5 is responsible for the two most-bet NBA player props.
The most popular is DeRozan’s Over 29.5 (-160) while the second most popular is on the Under 29.5 (+115). The Bulls will take on the Miami Heat, who is one game up on Chicago in the Eastern Conference standings.
DeRozan has eclipsed 30 points in each of the last 10 games.
There is a catch, though, as the juice is favoring the Over more than it has at any point this season. It’s also jumped exponentially in the last 20 or so hours as the price was -115 on Sunday night and now is even more than it was entering Saturday’s game (-140).
DeRozan has averaged 36.1 points during his 11-game Over streak with a pair of 40-plus point nights.
