Dimers' NBA trends can be used by sports bettors in a number of different ways. They can help you understand what a certain player's recent performances have looked like, which in turn allows bettors to make more informed decisions when betting on the NBA. For example, if you are interested in betting a Luka Doncic player prop and his total points line is set a 32.5, knowing what his recent output has been can help you to make informed decisions about whether to bet his Over or his Under. NBA trends can also be useful for bettors who are simply interested in consuming easy to digest information which will help inform their decisions on which players to wager on, and whether the Over or Under is the more likely outcome. While we've listed our Top-10 below, head over to our Top NBA trends section to get them all.
