Success in NBA betting is all about research. Bettors that can find the right information and analyze it correctly are in the best position to see their winning percentage rise.
There are a number of early success stories this season in the NBA. A few teams have been extremely successful against the spread. Here are the most profitable NBA teams to bet ATS so far this season.
All That Jazz
The Utah Jazz, not the Los Angeles Lakers, own the NBA’s best record after 25 games. Utah is 20-5 and has won its last five straight and nine of its last ten games. The Jazz have also been very successful against the spread.
For the season, the Jazz are 18-7 ATS. They have been hot as of late. Over their past 17 games, Utah is 15-2 ATS, including a streak of 11 straight covers.
Bettors should take note. The Jazz are third in defensive efficiency and fourth in offensive efficiency.

It’s Always Sunny in Phoenix
The Suns started the new season on a roll then fell into a slump before getting their mojo back. Phoenix has won six of its last seven games and is 14-9 overall.
Ironically, they are also 14-9 against the spread. Phoenix has done very well as an underdog. In seven such games, the Suns are 5-2 ATS.
The Suns’ success against the spread is likely due to their improved defense. Phoenix ranks fifth in the league in defensive efficiency.
In addition to winning six of their last seven games, the Suns have covered in six of the last seven too.
Sixers Strong
Philadelphia still has the best record in the Eastern Conference at 18-7, a game and a half better than Milwaukee. The 76ers are also one of the better teams against the spread with a 14-10-1 ATS record.
Philly has also had some recent success. In their last seven games, the Sixers are 5-2 ATS. That includes two covers as an underdog to both the Lakers and Pacers and covers of -9.5 against Minnesota and -7.5 in a win over Brooklyn.

Hornets’ Nest
The Charlotte Hornets have been very good to bettors despite their below .500 record. Charlotte is just 12-13 overall, but the Hornets are 14-10-1 ATS.
Where Charlotte has been a bettor’s dream is as an underdog. The Hornets have been the dog in 19 of their 25 games. They are 12-6-1 ATS as an underdog.
Like Philadelphia, Charlotte has been outstanding as of late. The Hornets are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games. In each of those seven games, the Hornets were the underdog. Ironically, Charlotte lost to Philadelphia 118-111 as a seven-point underdog. Their only ATS loss in the last seven games was in a 138-121 blowout loss to Utah.
Fade Miami
Another great move for bettors is to look into opponents of the Miami Heat. Miami is 8-15-1 ATS, but where bettors can really find value is on Heat opponents when Miami is the favorite.
The Heat are 4-10-1 ATS in games where they are the favorite. In their last nine games, Miami is 2-7 ATS. They were favored in all but two of those games.
