2024 NBA Season

[OgNasty]

The Clippers hosting Nets will be a good game to watch later. The visiting team will be without Kyrie again but they've been getting better results as we've seen in their last four games. Which team are you going for? I'm taking Clippers on ML. Odds at 1.84 looks good since they've been playing well lately too.

I agree that the Nets vs Clippers game is the best game of the day. I won’t be able to watch it because I don’t have that channel so I won’t be betting on it. I’m not sure I’d know who to bet anyway. I’m assuming Kawhi and John Wall won’t be playing and with Kyrie out and Ben Simmons still struggling, it’s like a match up of the most inconsistent teams in the league. I hope they can both manage to get things figured out before too much longer.

Warriors are really a big mess this season. They have won only 5 of their 12 games so far. Steph Curry is actually incredible still. They won their last two games and Curry scored 40+ points in both of them. He is giving his best for the team as usual but the team effort doesn't seem to be satisfying for now.

On the other hand this two-game winning streak might be a sign of a recovery maybe. To tell the truth I don't expect Warriors to fail in qualifying for playoffs this season. But if they keep an inconsistent performance then I won't be favouring them for the championship this time. Things are going well for Celtics now too. Maybe they can finish their incomplete job and reach the championship this season who knows.

If Wall and Kawhi is not playing, then I will go with the Nets here.

Actually I already put a bet on them @2.07 boosted odds before the game (it's about to start). The Nets have showing good signs with Durant again, taking the lead role as the alpha on the team. Yeah, I guess it will be hard to see if there are alphas like Kyrie that shake the balance.

So let's see how it goes, maybe Durant having another 30 point plus explosion.

They usually start seasons off slow.  They have ballers 1-10 on theor team they will be fine.  Having shooters like they do make it easy for them to not slide in too long of a drought.

I think it's common that they will struggle this year because of their overhaul second unit.

But still they are the defending champs and still have Steph Curry to carry the load for them in the last 2 games and that's what he did.
If might be the fans are a bit worried on how they start, but they already got a back to back wins, although very close, still a win for them. It's up to the second unit like Wiseman and Kuminga to really get the experience this year and help the team.

Celtics is different though, they already tasted the finals last year and for sure wanted to go back again and this fight, hope that they can win, whoever their opponent is.

They were not favorite last year but they won anyway, so I am not giving up on the warriors yet. It is too early to tell that they are not going to win the ring. They still have a good roster that can win any game. I think they just need to fine tune their plays and adjust it to better fit their current roster. Jordan Poole is still in a shooting woes and once he gets out of it, he will be a big help for the big 3 of the warriors.

Brooklyn is currently on the lead by 3 with 6 minutes left in the game. I bet on brooklyn to win this game and hoping that Kevin Durant will be able to carry the team over the kawhi less Clippers. John wall is playing so I am not sure if the brooklyn can keep their lead. I am hoping for the best.

Close game, we are already in the 4th quarter, Nets just taking a 3 point lead.


And just like that, Clippers missing a lot of 3's, don't know why they keep on attempting, Powell, George, Wall and Jackson missing.

Curry, hitting back to back 3's, I think this is it for the Clippers, down 11 right now with 3:41 minutes. Unless they score in bunch and make the game close.

Score is 99-88.

Yeah, the Nets beat the Clippers thanks to Curry because he had an impressive performance, especially in the 4th quarter. By the way, he managed to score more than 20 points for the second game in a row, and it looks like Irving's absence is a good opportunity for Curry because he gets more playing time. As for the Clippers, I'd say George's poor field-goal percentage was one of the main reasons why they lost this game.

Ya, that was a poor shooting night for Paul George. He went 1-6 from 3 point range and 5-21 from the field. You won’t beat the Nets shooting like that when Durant and Seth Curry are shooting well. The worst shooting of the night goes to LaMelo Ball though in his first game of the year back from injury. He shot 1-9 from 3 point range in their loss to the Miami Heat.

[danherbias07]

4-1 Brooklyn Nets record without Kyrie Irving.
Kevin Durant must be feeling better when all eyes are just on him. Seth Curry again with the big help, 22 points in 28 minutes of playtime, and 4 of 8 outside shots.
If this keeps up, the Nets' management should think about how they will bring Kyrie back into the rotation because they are doing great now.

MVP race had a sudden change.
Jayson Tatum is now in 3rd place from 7th. He's getting better and now averages 32 points per game.
Replaced was Donovan Mitchell who now sits at number 4.

[gagux123]

We will have the game between Los Angeles Lakers vs Brooklyn Nets.
Anyone else looking forward to watch this game!!?

In the last games without Kyrie Irving, the Nets got some considerable victories, will they now stay with that performance and beat the Lakers? (although lately the Lakers have been performing poorly)

[YuginKadoya]

Here is the result for my picks for today's game,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 95 - 110 - LOST

Not a good sign seeing Clippers was at home but they are at the least advantage, well pretty much they are not doing so much but yeah Ivica Zubac got a double-double of 15 rebounds and 16 points, while Paul George just got 17 points, while Kevin Durant for the Nets was on fire with 27 points and a back up of Seth Curry's 22 points,

Washington Wizards VS Utah Jazz SCORE 121 - 112 - LOST

I really thought that this could be another win for the Jazz, but the Wizard has turned the tables at 1st the Jazz is taking the Momentum and most players of the Jazz didn't explode with their performance, while on the Wizard Kyle Kuzma have gotten 23 points Kristaps Porzingis have gotten a double-double performance of 10 rebounds and 31 points,

Indiana Pacers VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 118 - 104 - WIN

The Raptors have taken their lead until the end of the 1st half, and the 2nd half was dominated by the Pacers, they turned the tables against the Raptors, Chris Boucher got 19 points and OG Anunoby got 26 points, for the Raptors while  Myles Tuner got a double-double performance of 10 rebounds and 19 points and Buddy Hield got 22 points, for the Pacers, and winning the game,

Dallas Mavericks VS Portland Trail Blazers SCORE 117 - 112 - WIN

It was a sure close game, Damian Lillard got a double-double of 12 assists and 29 points, while Jerami Grant got 37 points for the Trail Blazers for the Mavericks Spencer Dinwiddie got 20 points, while Luka Doncic is exploding carrying in his back the Mavericks with a Triple-double performance, of 13 rebounds, 10 assist, and 42 points, an excellent performance for Luca Doncic,

It was really that long 3's the bring home the win for the Nets, Curry hitting those and then Royce O'Neale putting the dagger 3. After that the lead was 15 and there are no coming back from the Clippers.

Luka averting a 3 game losing skid, he had back to back poor shooting and not scoring the usual, but against the Blazers, he exploded with a triple double performance so they are back in winning form again.

Washington Wizards VS Utah Jazz SCORE 121 - 112 - LOST

The Utah were the favorites and the Utah had a good winning streak before this game, looks like it's Washington's turn to make the winning streak, or is it the home game that affected the Wizards so they only lost the first quarter to the Utah but then won the rest. Yesterday the Lakers played Sacramento, it's were the clubs that started the season very poorly and were at the bottom, but Sacremento seems to be able to get out of the crisis.

And they are going against the Sacramento Kings, you are also in a momentum. Curry though have to bail them out against the Cavs last game,in their first encounter, they barely made it with a win. But I think this is going to be close as the Kinds in in form.

The opening for the Warriors is -4.5, the last time they won 5 points.

But if I'm going to bet on this game, I will be taking +4.5 for the Kings.

If you look at the record of the road record of the Warriors, the pick here is the Kings because the Warriors are 0-6 on the road, however, since the Warriors won their last two games, I think they have the momentum now and I will ride with them.

They have been losing in their road games so they may want to break that. Betting for the Sacramento Kings here might not be a good idea with just plus 4. The Warriors are in badly need for more wins to get back on top. They will be doing everything to make that happen even on the road.
Warriors money line will be my option here as the game could end up being close and not cover the spread of -4. Fox sometimes gets too hot it's difficult to stop him. If Wiggins will D him then maybe there's a chance to cover the spread. But it will be an exhausting feat.

[boltz]

This NBA season is already crazy in a lot of aspects but for now , Bucks , Mavs and Celtics are the best teams in my opinion with a solid start , great basketball and a lot of effort from this 3 teams every time they step on the court.

Another game for Lakers tomorrow morning but I don't see them winning against Nets who are playing great without Irving but they could play even better with him on the squad...but who knows when we will see Irving back. For Lakers this game is all or nothing I suppose or the team morale will most likely be on all time low if they don't win.

And you know what, the moment they start winning they are very dangerous, despite their early struggle, we should still not forget that they are the defending champion and they can beat any team in this league, so maybe they'll start winning on the road in Sacramento.

[danherbias07]

Have you guys noticed the massive calls of the officials regarding the "ball carry"? Jordan Poole is mostly whistled on this.
I am glad they are getting stricter in the dribbling section because many players are trying to get away from it.

Is that a new rule? They do not usually call that before this season, but they are doing it now. Or are they just getting stricter in that section of basketball? Which is okay for me as long as it is called consistently throughout the league.

It's not a new rule. Some call it "lifting" where the hand should just stay sideways when you are dribbling and not like the palm is facing up.
Maybe the officials reviewed the games last year and saw that they missed a lot of that calls and so they are now getting stricter and calling it.
https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/warriors-plead-consistency-after-jordan-poole-carrying-calls-vs-heat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jz5abFcmvE - this is the time Jordan Poole was called three times, the clip is the 3rd one. It's too obvious.

The same goes with the traveling violation, players are getting frustrated a lot of times because the refs are being more observant at the pivot foot.
I do like it this way but yes the consistency must be there. I wish refs will not have a player target because they are known for doing those violations a lot of times.
