NBA overs went 4-2 on Monday night, continuing their hot streak as we approach the end of the regular season. So far in the month of May, overs are 43-34 (56%). A $100 bettor taking each over this month would be up roughly $700. This is notable because overs went just 49.9% prior to the month of May. In essence, overs are cashing as a 6.1% higher clip this month than in previous months. The top May over betting system has been when the total rises at least a half point. In these situations, the over is 24-11 (69%).
Why are NBA overs crushing it this final month? It's likely a confluence of factors, including some teams tanking and playing zero defense while others have completely different motivations in terms of seeding or battling to make (or avoid) the play-in tournament. Tired legs could also be a factor, as the long grind is coming to an end and we had a quick turnaround from last year's bubble. Whatever the case may be, overs continue to be a winning bet in the final month.
