Kevin Durant vs. Stephen Curry: Who Scores More Points?

Kevin Durant's recent decision to leave Oklahoma City tho join forces with Stephen Curry in Golden State has completely changed the complexion of the NBA on the court and at the betting window. The Warriors were already one of the top favorites to win the 2017 NBA Championship after coming up short against Cleveland last month in this season's NBA Finals. The addition of Durant to the roster has suddenly made Golden State a prohibitive favorite to win its second title in three years.

Top sportsbooks such as BetAnySports have also released any number of prop bets surrounding this move and in my weekly prop bet picks for Doc's Sports I take a closer look at the projected win total next season for both Golden State as well as Durant's former team OKC. I also breakdown the prop bet odds for a head-to-head matchup between Durant and Curry as far as scoring points next season. Check out the link below for my top picks in all three of these special NBA props.

CFL Game of the Week- Calgary at Ottawa

The Calgary Stampeders started the new CFL season as +550 second-favorites to win this year's Grey Cup title with BetAnySports but they stumbled out of the gate in a stunning 20-18 loss to British Columbia as 2.5-point road favorites. They quickly returned to form last week with a convincing 36-22 win against Winnipeg as 11-point favorites at home.

Calgary will now go back on the road this Friday night to face the Ottawa RedBlacks as a slight one-point underdog with the betting odds for the total set at 52.5. The RedBlacks are a perfect 2-0 out of the gate both straight-up and against the spread after putting up a total of 73 points in an overtime upset at Edmonton followed by a convincing victory against Toronto in Week 2 on the road in a game that ended as a pick.

Friday night's inter-division showdown in Ottawa's home opener is clearly the top matchup on the CFL Week 3 slate and the top play in my weekly picks for SportsBettingStats.com. Check out the link below for all of this week's picks in the CFL Section of the website.

Coke Zero 400 NASCAR Picks

I am a big fan of Dale Earnhardt Jr. so anytime NASCAR races at Daytona I get excited given the past success he has had at this storied track. This Saturday night Dale Jr. will be looking to notch his first Sprint Cup point race victory of the season after posting four second-place finishes in the first 16 events of the year. He comes into this race as the defending champion and a +600 favorite to win by BetAnySports.

Another driver I have been following closely this season is rookie Chase Elliott. He took over the wheel in the No. 24 Chevrolet for Jeff Gordon this year and he has already posted six Top 5 finishes in his first 16 events. He has been opened as a +2000 longshot to break through with his first Sprint Cup win on Saturday night and I really like the value in those odds as well.

All my picks for this year's Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway can be found at the link below in my weekly NASCAR race preview for SBR Picks.

Prop Bet Picks- Kevin Durant's Next Team

One of the biggest questions in the NBA this offseason is which team will free agent forward Kevin Durant be playing for next season. His current contract with Oklahoma City has expired and starting this Friday he will embark on a five-team road trip to help determine his NBA playing future. The first stop on that tour is with Golden State, which other than resigning with the Thunder, has the best odds on the board at BetAnySports to land the biggest prize in this offseason's NBA free agent derby.

As part of my weekly prop bet picks for Doc's Sports, I have weighed in with my thoughts on where the best value in Durant's free agent prop bet odds lies. I also took a closer look at this year's crop of NBA rookies to come up with my pick for 'Rookie of the Year' according to the betting odds at BetAnySports for this prop. Check out the link below for my complete rundown on the top value in the betting odds for both of these props.

Betting the Mets in the Series Price Odds vrese the Nationals

MLB action dominates the sports betting scene this time of the year and some of the best bets you can make in terms of value in the numbers are on the series price odds that are released in advance of any new three-game matchup. One of the top series on this week's MLB slate sends the New York Mets to Nationals Park for three games against the NL East-leading Washington Nationals.

New York has been able to close the gap to just three games with a 4-2 record in its last six outings coupled with a 1-6 slide by Washington in its last seven constests. These two have already met six times this season with each team claiming a 2-1 series victory on the road. The Mets have been listed as slight -115 road favorites for Monday night series opener and I am looking to parlay a win in that game to a series price win on New York this week at even money +100 betting odds with BetAnySports.

Hoppertunity is at the Top of My List in Saturday's Gold Cup at Santa Anita

The summer horse racing season for major graded events continues to heat up with the running of this Saturday's $500,000 Gold Cup at Santa Anita Park. The expected field for this Grade 1 stakes race over 1 1/4 miles on the dirt at Santa Anita has eight horses listed as entered and the one at the top of my list is trainer Bob Baffert's Hoppertunity. There was some question as to whether or not this five-year old Kentucky-bred champion would run in this race, but all systems appear to be a go for Saturday's main event on a jam-packed race card out on the West Coast.

Check out the link below for this week's horse racing betting report for SBR Picks to get my full preview of this race along with a bonus exacta pick for the Grade 1 Triple Bend Stakes which is also on Saturday's card at Santa Anita.
