Underdogs aren't living for the weekend, apparently, covering the spread on both Saturdays and Sundays at barely a 40% clip. 

It's difficult to put much stock into why certain days of the week are more profitable than others, as there's far too many mitigating factors to consider. Nevertheless, the trends never lie, so it's best to avoid weekend action until those percentages show improvement.

Despite being one of the hotter teams in basketball, the Los Angeles Clippers have failed to win a single game SU as the underdog in seven attempts.

It's a limited window across 32 games they've played, but nonetheless, it's still something to keep in mind when the Clippers do go up against other heavy hitters across the Association. Three of their last four losses are against the Boston Celtics (26-6), Oklahoma City Thunder (22-9), and Denver Nuggets (24-11). 

The Indiana Pacers, meanwhile, hold a respectable record as underdogs SU at 9-8, turning a profit of $635.24. They've hovered around the .500 mark for most of the season, and with an offense that ranks first overall paired with a 28th-ranked defense, it's clear why their underdog SU numbers are what they are.

The Orlando Magic are where the money is at against the spread as underdogs this season, profiting a league-best $481.83 with a 13-7 sample size. They're 5-1 ATS across their last six games regardless if they're the underdog or not. 

As one of the league's more pleasant surprises, it's important to keep tabs on teams like the Magic thriving in these types of scenarios. It involves due diligence and picking the appropriate matchups to bet, but when it comes to Orlando, there are a lot of positive gains to be had.
