2024 NBA Season

[wheelz1200]

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.  

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.

Big game for the Knicks today.  Sitting at .500 at home against a beatable team.  These are the games through the year you have to win if you want to be in position to win.  Early one at 12 est, usually good for the home team on these early games from teams coming from the west.  Enjoy the games today people.

Wow! Celtics are back in that godlike form from last year play-offs and if they keep playing like this and if Tatum keep putting scores like this , I think Celtics has a massive chance again to fight to Play-offs finals and then NBA finals once more.

Yea, and the Celtics are just warming up but it is expected that they will play more impressively because they are now a much experienced team and the fact that they've reached far last season made them more stronger this season. Currently, they are on their 6th win streak, maybe they could surpass the Bucks streak this season.

[xzone]

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.

Bucks have started this season really well, I think they could be the best team of the year. If their performance continues like this, I am sure that they will be among the top 3 teams in the playoffs. The season is very long and we have many matches ahead of us, but it is not possible to say anything negative about their performance so far. They only lost 2 matches

I agree even Steve Kerr is not that worried on their current standing, which means they don't have any problems and they might be experimenting or whatsoever and there's no pressure at all because the eliminations is still far. We will know if there will be some major problems in their line-up because it will be in the news, look at them last season, they didn't start hot too.

[RealMalatesta]

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.

Warriors are always a good team, you can always wager on them, the problem is not a big deal, it’s the fact that they were champions last year and wanted to take it slow a bit this year to rest. It was one of the hardest championships they ever gotten last year, compared to all others they got before, and that did tire them a lot.

Curry is laying with 33+ ppg and 70% TS which is insane and to be fair I would say it is unrealistic as well, I know it's "real" because we see it, but seriously, if anyone told me a player would do 33+ ppg with 70%+ TS, I would say that would only happen in 2K and somehow this dude is doing it. Others will join up after the second half when they are ready.

[Pamadar]

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.

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.

Good point, once they start winning on the road they will continue winning, I like the point from post above you stating that Wiggins
will be the key if he will guad Fox.

We seen Wiggins last season and his defense really improve, if he will try to use that with Fox
then Curry and the offensive arsenal of Warriors heat up, the chance of covering the handicap
is not far to achieved.

[jakelyson]

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)

I am not sure if Lebron is still out for this game. He is listed Day-to-day so there is a chance he will not be playing tonight again. If that is so, I am guessing that the Nets have a better chance of winning this game. It might be a close game though because I have seen that the Lakers had a good performance against the Kings, short of winning the game. If they perform like that again against the Nets, they might have a chance to win against Durant.

The playoffs of the East will be epic with Celtics at their prime and Bucks on their prime as well. Giannis is a complete player right now and with his team, they will reach great heights. Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brown are also on their peak right now and this duo is almost unstoppable. It would be great if this two teams will end up in the Eastern Conference Finals.

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.

We're not just used to seeing those favorite teams having bad numbers per season. But I guess for the Lakers and Golden State Warriors, the expectation has been a lot at most times. And for these teams, they're really great every season add to them Jazz too.

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.

Nets is also just like the Lakers that are having problem with their wins but we shall see if this is game is for Lakers or Nets.

I think the Bucks and the Celtics could be the best team this season. Both of this teams have chemistry that they have build for many years, if they are not going to clash on the playoffs, then hopefully we can see them in the East finals.

The Nets though has find ways to win and they are doing very good after Kyrie gets suspended.

While the Lakers continue to struggle if Westbrook continue to have a good performance. They really need Lebron back in the lineup.

[YuginKadoya]

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.

Well, they can not win it all, and I think that the Utah Jazz has a bad night while the Wizards have a decent point, but yeah Utah well we don't have to expect the new players on the Utah Jazz to do so well, and Jordan Clarkson would need to rest sometimes, and just like the Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson sometimes will not play for 1 game just to rest and relax for the next big game they have, that they would likely know it will be a hard match, the Utah Jazz would also need something like that,


Games that will be starting today, here are my picks


Cleveland Cavaliers VS Minnesota Timberwolves

The stake odds for this game are 1.50 for the Cavaliers and 2.65 for the Timberwolves, right now Donovan Mitchell, and Jarrett Allen for this match I would go with the Cavaliers,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Utah Jazz

The stake odds for this game are 1.67 for the 76ers, and 2.27 for the Jazz, Right now Utah Jazz were the young gun and agaiant 76ers there are many new talent so I think they will win against the 76ers,

Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 2.50 for the Kings, while 1.56 for the Golden State Warriors, for me I will pick the Warriors on this one,

Yes this is true. I confess that I didn't remember this possibility. But if LeBron doesn't play, I also believe the Nets could have a better chance of winning, of course if Durant is confirmed for this game (that possibly he will play).
 
Well, if LeBron doesn't play in this game, I'll still be curious to see how the Lakers will play without the help of their best player.

The Lakers desperately need LeBron, but it's obvious that he should fully recover first. Otherwise, he risks aggravating his injury again. So it would be quite expected if he missed the upcoming game against the Nets. Of course, we can't rule out that it might be a close game, although I'm more inclined to think that the Lakers could lose their 6th game in a row.

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.

Yeah, I know, but I will take my chances on the Kings, it's a huge risk, but I will bet on the 4.5 for the Kings.

So best of luck on this game.

Lots of good games that are very unpredictable, that might pull some surprises in tonight games.

But for sure all eyes are on the Nets vs Lakers, KD is hot, might be back to back games for them. But it seems that the Nets is enjoying some momentum, specially that Kyrie is suspended and so there are no drama in the background.

[Yogee]

....
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.

I lost betting against the Nets last time so I'm taking them this time hehe. I think handicap odds at -6.5 can be covered.

Irving is still suspended based on some news reports and that is probably a good thing. He's looking forward to playing again they say but most fans are probably happier that he's on the sideline.

Irving is still not playing tonight against the Lakers, but Curry is picking up the slack he left. Surprisingly, they are performing better now. Ben Simmons is still not reliable with just 2 points and 3 assists against the Clippers. Kevin Durant will have to do the heavy lifting to carry his team against the Lakers. If Lebron suddenly decided to play, our bets will be in big trouble. I also bet on Nets but Moneyline only. I believe this will be a close game.

Actually, the Lakers still have a good game, but they just can't close games. They had a good game against the Kings and only lose by 6 points. Westbrook is performing well with 21 points and 11 assists. They could still beat the Nets if Westbrook, AD, and Walker continues to have good game. They just need to figure out not having that 3rd quarter woes and close games.

[Jating]

Close game between the Cavs and the Wolves. T'wolves have a big clean and just cruising in the 4th quarter, leading 18 with less  than 10 minutes.

Suddenly Garland exploded, he finishes the game with 51 big points, 10 three's, Mitchell didn't play though.

Then cut it down to 2 points in the last closing seconds, they still have a chance to tie the score unfortunately a bad pass by Kevin Love, intercepted by the T'wolves and then Prince hitting 2 FT for the final score.

[YuginKadoya]

Now here is the result for my picks on today's game

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 124 - 129 - WIN

The Timberwolves have started strong up to until the 3rd quarter, but even though the Cavaliers are getting their Momentum in the 4th quarter they don't have much time to get back up from the lead of the Timberwolves, Darius Garland Stepping up and doing 51 points, for the Cavaliers, but the spread of the score for the Timberwolves is too much for him to handle alone,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Utah Jazz SCORE 105 - 98 - LOST

The Utah Jazz was doing great at first until Joel Embiid happened he suddenly tapped into the and made a double-double performance of 11 rebounds and 59 points, while the Jazz just manage to put the lead down it was really Joel Embiid that have an extremely great determination in winning,

Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 122 - 115 - LOST

I really thought that the Golden State Warriors will win this they were in the lead until the 2nd quarter, a beautiful spread for the Kings, and sometimes they manage to turn the table for the Warriors,

The Brooklyn Nets play is just too obvious. Just don't let Durant get the ball and all is well. 
The Lakers won thanks to that lack of ball rotation from them. Plus, AD is superb today as he leads the team with 37 points and 18 rebounds.
This is the Lakers that I want to see, transition plays, everyone touching the ball to get their rhythm, and letting everyone contribute on both ends of the floor.
They did a great job even without Lebron, I hope this continues.

When Lebron is back, things will change and it will be his style that will be implemented. Although Lebron is just a player but he only acts as a couch sometimes, it's not too obvious though but that's what I'm seeing. Good job by the Lakers, winning is very important for them to be in the playoffs spot.

By the way, Warriors loss again.

Davis is a monster tonight, with 37 points and 18 rebounds. That is the Davis that the Lakers needed. Westbrook is mediocre again this game with just 14 points and 12 assists. Walker and Austin Reaves are great help with 25 and 15 points respectively. And just like that my bet with the Nets loses again. Just like I said earlier, if the Lakers played like how they played against the Kings, they have a chance to beat Durant. And they did.

When Lebron is back, things will change and it will be his style that will be implemented. Although Lebron is just a player but he only acts as a couch sometimes, it's not too obvious though but that's what I'm seeing.

You are probably right. The rotation will change back to what it was before when Lebron is back in the rotation. Hopefully, even if he comes back, the ball movement will not be gone. I know he needs to chase stats and score to be the number 1 all-time scorer, but I hope he put prioritize winning rather than his stats.
