The Conference Semifinals are underway, and the NBA handicappers at ScoresandStats are taking a breather after the first round. Last week, the top five cappers only won $1,400, down a bit from the previous week’s total.
But, as the NBA finals continue, we’re bound to see some legendary performances out of our NBA handicappers. There’s money on the line, after all.
The Best NBA Handicappers Last Week
The top five NBA handicappers last week went 21-6, for a total win percentage of 77.78%. Together, they brought home $1,425 in profit.
The win rate is down around 14% from the previous week, and profit is down $400 as well. But, with the NBA finals heating up, I anticipate the leaderboard here should too.
There were quite a few new faces on the leaderboard, including Robert Jones and Ross Benjamin. We’ve seen William Taylor around before, but TonyK 3G-Sports is also a newcomer. No time like the present to make it to the NBA leaderboard!
Robert Jones Goes 5-1
Robert Jones is our number 1 handicapper this week, going 5-1 and winning $385 in profit. He primarily wagered spreads, keeping his estimations around 5.5-6.5 points. He also mushed on a totals wager, which is, in itself, super lucky. If he’d bet 212.5 instead, that would have been another $100 in his pocket.

I don’t see any real strategy behind the best Jones made last week. If we look back over the past 90 days, Jones has gone 26-24 with his spreads, and 35-30 overall.
