Basketball is one of the easiest sports to bet on.

Like football, one of the best basketball bets is a halftime one.

Three key factors that you should look at when betting on the second half of a basketball game are:

How a Team Performs in the Fourth Quarter

The fourth quarter of basketball games is unique in that it’s elongated because of:

• Fouls
• Free throws
• Timeouts
• Fast plays
• Bursts of scoring

By knowing how a team performs in the fourth quarter, you can put yourself in a great position to make money on the second half of a game.

How Well Individual Players Shoot Free Throws

Betting on a team that has a player that struggles to make free throws is a big risk. Teams will constantly look to foul a poor free throw shooter. You don’t want to put money on someone who can’t follow through when fouled.

In contrast, putting money on a team with an incredible free throw shooter is never a bad idea.

How Coaches Handle the Fourth Quarter

All coaches have fourth quarter tendencies. By studying them, you can place an educated and informed bet that has a high probability of getting you paid.
