Motivation Plays Different Factor in This Year's NBA Playoffs

Motivation Plays Different Factor in This Year's NBA Playoffs

RJ Bell and the Straight Outta Vegas crew give a perspective to keep in mind when betting this year's NBA playoffs. RJ explains why motivation may vary among teams during this postseason, where motivation typically doesn't play a factor in the postseason, as all teams typically have the same motivation to win a championship. However, a team like the Rockets may have a stronger motivation to win now as they're at the peak of their championship window, with James Harden and Russell Westbrook in their prime. Meanwhile, lower seeded teams may have less of a motivation to win, as the desire to leave the bubble may lessen the sting of elimination. Plus, RJ and the guys give the latest odds for the NBA Championship!
