Earlier this week, he said the Nets are \u201cthe most-bet team by both handle and bets to win the NBA Finals and the East. For the NBA Finals winner, the Nets have 71% of the handle and 48%of the bets\u201d from earlier this week.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\">\n<p><strong>Durant\u2019s MVP odds movement has gone from +1200 on August 22 to +700 today,\u201d<\/strong> Winslow told <em>Casino.org<\/em>, noting that the Nets\u2019 championship odds have dropped from a high of +5000 on June 30.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Caesars\u2019 spokesman Brad Harwood said the Nets received more NBA title money this past Tuesday alone than 20 teams combined.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BetMGM_FanDuel_See_Durant_Action\"><\/span>BetMGM, FanDuel See Durant Action<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Nets have gotten the most action since the Durant announcement to win the title, John Ewing, a spokesman for BetMGM, told<em> Casino.org<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BetMGM\u2019s highest ticket percentage is Brooklyn at 16%, followed by Denver at 10% and Philadelphia at 7%. In terms of handle, the Nets hold a whopping 33%, followed by Phoenix at 13 percent and Milwaukee at 11 percent.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FanDuel spokesman Kevin Hennessey said the book\u2019s biggest wager since Durant\u2019s trade demand was $1,500 on July 1 odds of +3600.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>There were six $1000-plus bets put on the Nets to win the NBA title in 90 minutes following the KD news. To put that in perspective, only six other NBA teams (Warriors, Celtics, Lakers, Clippers, Suns, Nuggets) have gotten at least six $1000-plus title bets since odds were first put up on May 28. Also, Caesars reported no KD MVP bets yesterday, and Caesars has not taken an MVP bet on Durant since Aug. 5, Harwood said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Of the nine sportsbooks operating in New York, the best Nets title odds are at Resorts World and PointsBet (+900). BetRivers has them at +800, Caesars is at +750, and everyone else (except BallyBet, which has no NBA title futures posted) has Brooklyn at +700.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">He knows a thing or two about getting buckets in crunch time.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NBAClutchWeek?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#NBAClutchWeek<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KDTrey5?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@KDTrey5<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yNum0FShPB\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/yNum0FShPB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Brooklyn Nets (@BrooklynNets) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrooklynNets\/status\/1562527664564408320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">August 24, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questions_Remain\"><\/span>Questions Remain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So despite the good news for Brooklyn, much remains undetermined. We are still more than a month away from the Nets\u2019 first exhibition game.<\/p>\n<p>What happens with Kyrie Irving?\u00a0 He has been <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kyrieirving\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">silent on Twitter<\/a> and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kyrieirving\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, and for all we know, despite his opt-in to his contract, he still wants to be dealt to the Los Angeles Lakers, despite his friendship with Durant.<\/p>\n<p>And what about Ben Simmons? The last time he played an actual basketball game was way back on June 20, 2021, when he infamously passed up a dunk that was a major cause of Philadelphia\u2019s Game 7 defeat against Atlanta. Simmons was reportedly going to play in Game 4 of the Nets\u2019 first-round playoff series against Boston, according to the sometimes-accurate Shams Charania of <em>The Athletic<\/em>, but that never happened.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nets_Season_Outlook\"><\/span>Nets Season Outlook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Suppose you think everything is copacetic in Brooklyn\u2019s home of Kings County. In that case, we have news for you: Everything with the Nets franchise can change on a dime, and if the reports of friction between Irving, Durant, and coach Steve Nash are accurate, we should assume that Nash begins the season on the hottest of hot seats among NBA coaches. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vegasinsider.com\/nba\/odds\/coach-of-the-year\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">He is right in the middle of the pack for Coach of the Year with odds of +2000, 15th lowest<\/a>). The level of player vs. coach discontent that has become apparent with the Nets this summer does not disappear easily.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>The big US sportsbooks, especially the nine operating in New York, still list the Boston Celtics (+450) and the Milwaukee Bucks (+500 to +600) with shorter odds than the Nets, who dropped from +1400 to +750 at most books Tuesday following the Durant news. May books lowered the odds further Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>And let\u2019s face it, this team now looks about the same as the one that was swept out of the first round by the Celtics last spring. So they will need a lot more than a healthy Joe Harris and a mentally stable Ben Simmons, assuming his bad back is healed. Glue guy Bruce Brown is gone, as is point guard Goran Dragic.<\/p>\n<p>Those changes will likely result in the Nets\u2019 championship odds shifting throughout the season. Still, many gamblers believed that +750 was worthy of a wager that cannot possibly pay out until late June. That gives you an idea of how optimistic Nets bettors feel about their chances, even though the Nets\u2019 next NBA championship will be their first (they won two in the defunct ABA.)<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Brooklyn Nets three-time All-Star Ben Simmons plans to make his season debut in Game 4 vs. Boston on Monday as long as rehab remains on course, sources tell <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheAthletic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@TheAthletic<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Stadium?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@Stadium<\/a>.
