Rajon Rondo is worth what to the betting line?
Earlier this morning, news “broke” (I know, not my best work) that Rajon Rondo is now out indefinitely due a broken right thumb.
#NBA #Bulls – Rajon Rondo, Thumb – is out indefinitely

Before Rondo’s injury, the Bulls had settled in as 1.5-point home favorites at Pinnacle for tonight’s Game 3 against the Celtics. However, our spread betting chart illustrates how quickly and somewhat drastically the sports betting market reacted to the news.

As shown above, the line ticked down to Bulls -1 earlier this morning before crashing to Celtics -2 once Rondo’s injury hit social media.
At the time of publication, 51% of spread tickets have taken Boston and it will be interesting to monitor odds and betting percentage data to see how the market continues to react throughout the day.
