So, we've already given thanks to the NBA teams that bettors can depend on, and since this is the season of being thankful, it's important we also appreciate those dependable players that help give us more confidence in our bet slip.
When you go around the Thanksgiving table and do the old "give us something you're thankful for" bit, feel free to use any of these trends.
No, Dougie McBuckets isn't a star, but you know what you're getting from him. For one, the BetQL model is a whopping 63.6% accurate in bets where McDermott starts, so you'd be up $3,160 on $100 bets right now.
He's also a dependable shooter, having hit at least one 3 in 10 of his 12 games this year in San Antonio, and hitting four or more three times already.
What a year for Jordan Poole. Averaging career highs in points, assists, free-throw percentage and shooting from the field, not to mention getting the most minutes he's ever gotten on a nightly basis, Poole has put himself in line for a potential Most Improved Player award.
The BetQL model has also benefitted from Poole's growth as a full-time starter (although who knows what Klay Thompson's return could mean down the road), hitting 63.4% of its bets in his starts; you'd be up $1,068 on $100 bets on those plays.
Ball continues to be one of the most exciting and dynamic young players in the NBA, and you can count on him to stuff the box score with seven double-doubles and a triple-double already this year.
He's been on a tear his last three games too, averaging 25.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 8.7 assists, including that triple-double against the Hawks.
The BetQL model is counting on this to continue too, having won 62.9% of bets where he's started, putting you up $2,699 on $100 bets for those plays.
And for all that ... we're thankful.
