SBR.tv's Katy presents a roundup of first-half ATS numbers in the NBA's Eastern Conference, as well as a few things to keep an eye out for in the second half.
Two of the worst bets in the first half of the season were, interestingly, two teams with won-loss records among the best and worst of the conference, Boston and New Jersey. Boston's home-road splits and ATS dips might have been caused by some fundamental factors that may well repeat themselves in the second half. The Nets, as bad as they have been, did show some signs of life as the All-Star break neared.
Two of the best Eastern conference teams to bet on in the first half were Milwaukee and Atlanta. But there are good reasons to believe that both may not see the same kind of profitable results in the second half.
Cleveland, Toronto and Charlotte also gain mention as teams with interesting first-half ATS results that could present attractive betting angles in the second half.
