About NBA Consensus Picks
Deciding how to bet on NBA games is one of the toughest challenges for basketball bettors -- having accurate NBA consensus bets data is mission-critical to cover the spread at a sportsbook. At Odds Shark, expert opinions and NBA sports betting predictions are offered on every game.
This page provides a look into the NBA public consensus betting data and money percentages on daily matchups, information you can use to go with the flow or fade the public. Add your pick to the consensus by clicking the matchup link for any game!
NBA Consensus Picks and Percentages
In this table, you might read that 77.4 percent of the basketball betting public is betting on the Celtics at -7.5 points. That means only 22.6 percent of the NBA public betting is backing the underdog Lakers -- what should you do with this information and why is it important for your handicapping?
There are betting strategies based on the public's NBA betting trends that involve simply betting against the NBA consensus, otherwise known as "fading the public." Riding with the majority of the public's NBA bets is known as adding to the pot of "public money."
It’s a contrarian view of betting that says the public will be wrong more often than right because many casual bettors just bet the favorites, or choose their favorite teams with name recognition. However you interpret the data, knowing the NBA consensus numbers gives you critical information on the daily NBA odds and lines. Here at Odds Shark, we rank the consensus NBA picks, showing you which games the public likes best, and we also dig out which online sportsbooks boast the best wagerlines on those games.

You'll be encouraged to add your own opinion and prediction to the discussion by clicking on the matchup report links. Tell us which side of the NBA point spread or total you are picking and that tally goes into the database to be shared with the community.
