One day after favorites finished a collective 20-and-1 in the MLB, NBA and NHL, both eight seeds won their games outright in the NBA Playoffs on Tuesday.
A $100 parlay on the Orlando Magic and Portland Trail Blazers moneylines would’ve paid you $3,575.
That’s three months worth of rent for some of you![[ad:athena]]
The Magic upset the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks 122-110 behind 35 points and 14 rebounds from Nikola Vucevic. Orlando was a 14-point underdog that checked in as high as +950 on the moneyline at tip-off. They are the largest playoff pup to win outright since Boston (+15) bested Cleveland on May 21, 2017.
Damian Lillard‘s three-ball was the dagger for the Blazers as they stole their first game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Lillard scored 34 points – just Under his point prop – to pace a Portland squad that was a 6.5 point underdog and +250 to win outright.
Talk about bursting someone’s bubble.
The Westgate SuperBook adjusted their series prices pretty quickly. Milwaukee is still a massively ridiculous favorite at -5000 to advance against the Magic +1500. Meanwhile, Los Angeles saw their series line get slashed from -425 to -220. Portland’s new price to knock off LeBron and Co. is +195.
