2024 NBA Season

If AD and LeBron both miss the next game, the Lakers will most likely to have -2.5 again against the Thunder.

I would still take that -2.5 as the Lakers even without Lebron and Davis is still better than the OKC IMO.

Now that Westbrook already had the best game so far as a Lakers, I trust him to carry the team to another win against OKC.
Westbrook scored, 33 points, that's a huge improvement compared to his previous games, hopefully, this will continue but I also like to see Lebron and Davis be back soon.

We'll see what the spread ends up being.  Right now it doesn't seem to be reflected that AD is missing the game.  The biggest takeaway is that Russell Westbrook can put up big numbers in a Lakers uniform (even if he was snatching rebounds away from Dwight Howard).  On another play Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis were fighting over a rebound that caused it to go out of bounds...  I think as the season progresses the stat stealing might become an issue, but we'll see.  Carmelo, Dwight, LeBron, & Westbrook all playing with their legacy in mind could lead to some frustrations.

And playing against his former team, the place where he starts his dominance.

Lakers most likely can cover that handicap if presented by the bookies, even without LeBron and Davis. Coach Vogel can use
his backup, having Rondo to facilitate and help Russ and both Melo and Howard to be ready when the ball rotates to them.

Still have a better chance to win against OKC even without both the core stars. Handicap or using ML for parlay might be a
good call for this game.

Don't play with the parlay bet if you think that Westbrook will be able to carry the Lakers to win.

Even without AD and Lebron, the Lakers still look good on paper against OKC. They can have their big 3, Westbrook+Anthony+Howard, these 3 is enough to make OKC struggle again.

The Lakers vs Brooklyn game tomorrow is a preview of their possible match-up in the NBA finals and we will gonna see which team has less chance to win the champion after the game tomorrow. The Lakers have their superstars healthy and the Nets will also play well with Kevin Durant and James Harden tomorrow which will make it the most watch game and will gonna be a slap for the Lakers if they gonna lose this one. Hope they will gonna win though since they started with a devastating loss with GSW.

Honestly I think the better matchup which will be a dogfight will be the 4-0 bulls and the 3-1 knicks.  Bulls haven't beaten anyone really good yet but their team has greatly improved, and the Knicks look even stronger than they did last year early on.  Kemba dropping 5 dimes in what was a blowout of Philly last night.  Knicks look legit, and have depth to get through tough stretches.

I don't think it will be a laker/Nets final.  Nets aren't deep enough and Lakers need to get it together.

Where did you see this schedule?

It's Lakers vs Thunder and then Nets vs Miami Heat tomorrow?

So it will be a back to back games for the Lakers and so is the Thunder. The Thunder though is 0-4 and looking for their first victory in this season, while Lakers after dropping 2, it hoping for a 3 game winning streak.

It will not be very easy, as AD has somewhat suffered a knee injury against the Spurs and James might be questionable.

I love the Bulls this year though, but they need to have a game against a top team in the East to be able to say that they are for real. This is their strongest start since the Michael Jordan era, it might be early to say, but they are one of the dark horse team right now. With Zach Lavine, DeRozan, Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso. They really look very solid.

I don't think it will be a laker/Nets final.  Nets aren't deep enough and Lakers need to get it together.

Both teams are still struggling, specially the Lakers, although they've already win 2 games in a row. It was very close and not against a top tier team. They still have a lot of work to be done.

Yeah the bulls and knicks game will be very telling.  Knicks got some good in division wins so far this year.  Bulls look tight.  Primitive game tomorrow with both teams playing at a high level.  Already got my popcorn ready.

Side note: Knicks last night beat the 6ers for the first time in like 15 or 16 games.  Since 2017, and they did it convincingly.  Go knicks!!!

It's Lakers vs Thunder indeed and with the Lakers' star players doubtful in this game I would be backing the Thunder for today's game plus they are playing in their homecourt. James and Davis are prone to injury lately if this will continue this will hurt them in the post-season just like last year so I think it would be best for the Lakers coaches to start thinking of load management.

He must have seen the preseason schedule and immediately posted here. Lakers and Nets won't face each other in the regular season until December.

Forget about the NBA Finals for now since there are a lot of competition in both conferences. Nets will host the Heat later and these two are playoffs bound team on the East. Nets could take this but not sure about the spread. This could be another high scoring game.

Look at the Thunder's results in previous games. Their performances are unconvincing, considering that they haven't won any regular season games yet. So I doubt that the Thunder will be able to win the Lakers even if Lebron James and Anthony Davis don't play in the upcoming match.

Chicago Bulls hype is now making noise in the NBA community.

Their last 4-0 record was way back 1997-98 season. I like to see the team competing in the Eastern Conference Finals at most. It's been a while since Chicago Bulls are included in the competition on the East. It's time now for the Chicago Bulls fans to experience again the same hype during the Jordan era (much better) and D. Rose era.

Lakers having a huge lead against OKC now, so I would say chances are they are going to win their 3rd straight games. I have them parlay again, but it seems the Hawks are having a hard time against the Wizards, hopefully they can pull it off and so is the Clippers and the Suns. I think my bet is going to be close just like yesterday and it will be down to the wire again.

[TravelMug]

^^ The Lakers did score a huge 1st quarter 41 points against 19 by the Thunder.

But it seems that the Thunder has chip down the lead as they already scored 30 points against the Lakers 20. So it might be close though, if Lakers are not careful about protecting the lead as OKC is also a good shooting team. Plenty of time, 21 point lead is not safe as we still have 2 full quarters left.

It's normal that the leading will slow down when they have a huge lead so that they can conserve energy on the last crucial quarter. They are now still leads 10 points in the 3rd quarter while OKC seems exhausted. Lakers performing well without LeBron, I'm they can win since Davis is in-charge on there points.

Sorry guys! I was shocked too when I saw the free streaming that there was no Lakers vs Brooklyn today, I think I wasn't really in the mood yesterday since I just got vaccinated.

This is what I saw yesterday and wasn't paying attention to the date.



I saw this today and come back here to fix my post and it's already too late. Thanks for clarifying for the others guys.



Thunder vs Lakers is a close game 4th quarter will be a tough game for the Lakers, thunder lead by 5, Lakers 97 Thunder 101.

I think I wasn't really in the mood yesterday since I just got vaccinated.

That's okay, congratulations for being vaccinated.

Hawks made a big come back win from an early 16 point deficit against the Pelicans. They did good fighting back until the end of the game.
Meanwhile, Zion wearing an anime shirt/vest cannot be missed. That's a huge face of Mugiwara Luffy, Naruto, and Saitama. Love seeing some anime fan showing their hobbies in television especially stars like Zion.

I’m not going to lie I am some what nervous about betting this as I agree with this guy, we haven’t beaten anyone great yet, and two of the games were against the same team in the Pistons, who aren’t great by any means. The Raptors we just beat played us to the wire and while Van Fleet is fun to watch, he’s no Kahwi Leonard. So not great wins but wins nonetheless, looking forward to this showdown, will be great test for them both.

Too bad, it messed with my parlay as the Lakers lost against the OKC in a very close game again.

I thought that they have this in the bag as they've built a good and comfortable lead. And they try to make a comeback in the last minutes of the game. But it wasn't enough, so no, they can't win without Lebron James. He is still the main pieces of this franchise. Try to make new multi bet and see if I can recover some.

I overestimated the Lakers again, but it's funny that they lost this match. By the way, look at Westbrook stats. It seems that he decided to play for his former team in this match (I'm kidding). He made 20 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists, and 10 turnovers. I know it doesn't count, but he made a quadruple-double. This guy is incorrigible.
