2024 NBA Season

3 big dogs won today.. Anyone here who were able to make some money on the 3?

Wizards +13 - won against the Denver Nuggets by 14 points.

Memphis +10 - won against the Clippers by 26 points (this one is crazy)

Charlotte +11.5  - won against the Mavericks by 3 points in OT.

That's really frustrating for the bettors who entrust their handicap for this teams especially with Clippers that huge leads by Memphis kills the parlay of 1.16 odd ML for clippers.
Adding to this, Hawks also won against the Pacers not sure the handicapped but it's also a good win to anyone who bet for this team.

Most of us bets on the favorites, and yes it would really kill those parlays as we think with that high - by the favorite team, they could easily win the game, the problem is only to cover the high spread but it was the opposite of our expectation that happens.

Next time, let's try to parlay the underdog also, they give better return though chances are low, but things like this happens a lot.

With the handicap on Dallas against Charlotte, I think even if the Dallas won, the bettors will still win for Charlotte. The game was close even if Doncic made another triple double but still they lost. Charlotte played really well on the defensive end that that's the key for their win today.

WOW!!!!

I havent watched any of this game. Holy molly. I didnt think it could end up like this.
Thank God I didn't bet for anything this day since I went outside. Saved my freaking ass.

Memphis though with 26 points lead? Yeah that is crazy.
Going to watch some highlights later on. Just cannot believe it.

This was rather unexpected. I have not bet and watched today's game but if I did I am sure I would have lost a lot. I always go to favorites and these 3 are top teams. How could the 3 top teams all lose on the same day?

I only got Wizards game but for another 2 i lost where i do bet for Clippers and Dallas.I didnt expect for that clippers game they got smoked by Grizzlies.lol

For Mavs where it is somewhat thrilling where they do go overtime.If that last 3 point attempt by luka didnt missed out then it is surely settled.Well lets move on. 1/3 on this one.

Clippers and Dallas both for handicapped seems to be more advantage, but the outcome didn't favor those who bets for this teams. Sad but true there's always a bad games for each teams and players and when the underdog give their best for sure they'll be able to disappoint the favorites and snatch the
win.

I only got Wizards game

Did you bet on the Wizards to win straight up or ATS?
Either way, you win both.

but for another 2 i lost where i do bet for Clippers and Dallas.I didnt expect for that clippers game they got smoked by Grizzlies.lol

Clippers game was too early in my timezone, so usually I would not be able to bet on them.

For Mavs where it is somewhat thrilling where they do go overtime.If that last 3 point attempt by luka didnt missed out then it is surely settled.Well lets move on. 1/3 on this one.

This one is a cool game, Dallas lose at home again, not new to them this season, they actually does not have an impressive home record, they are only 10-8 now while they are 12-5 on the road, 2nd best in the west as Lakers got 15-3.

by the way, Luka got another triple double.

12 rebounds, 10 assists, and 39 points.

Sadly its only a straight up.Im not really that confident when it comes to ATS but it isnt bad though.

Sad but true there's always a bad games for each teams and players and when the underdog give their best for sure they'll be able to disappoint the favorites and snatch the

We already saw underdog teams beaten up a top rank ones for how many times.So these situations isnt surprising.

 Luka definitely deserves the MVP honours this year, I don't know how long he missed total honestly but it feels like he just went and came back in a jiff (or time passed very quickly) so I think he totally deserves to be in contention for something like MVP. I am not saying he should get it %100, giannis is good, harden is good, even lebron is great this year and actually cares but if you actually put Doncic as the new MVP you could have more people hyped and get europeans to watch even more NBA, its like a marketing thing, Giannis was "greek" but we all know he is not greek at all, he was just an immigrant, Doncic is actually european and could change a lot of stuff.

Consider yourself lucky.
Those are 3 top teams in the West and yet they are still being outplayed by those 3.
Getting 1 is better than getting nothing.

Looks like Vegas did win on this one though. 
I watched the Clippers game. Although Paul George is not there, Kawhi still made a huge number and so does Lou Williams and Harrell but they still fell short.

Yeah, it will be a free advertisement for them.
With that more people will be watching the league and also players will try their best to be in the same league as Luka since he got the MVP at a young age.
With the new paid application by now NBA could make more money receiving more supporters in Europe. They have their own league there but even with that if they will know that the management of NBA is fair with everyone or every nationality then it might be fruitful.

[RealMalatesta]

I am not entirely sure if they will give Giannis another MVP, remember last year and how awesome he played and they still didn't give it to him, or remember year before that and Russel averaging triple double and carrying his team to playoffs and didn't give him back to back.

In old times nba gave back to back but recently there hasn't been any back to back for a while now and we are talking about years in a world where narratives change per month so I guess they really may not give any back to back mvp ever again? I don't know. No kidding I wouldn't be surprised if they gave the MVP to Anthony Davis this year, Giannis had it last year, harden before that, Luka could be seen too young for an mvp and Anthony Davis just came to Lakers and brought them from a team that missed the playoffs to a first rank team which could actually be considered a MVP move.

It's possible and even Leonard and James are also possible but it will always be depends from how the medias and fans will votes for this award.
There's a lots of superstars who are also aiming for this title though it's Luka and Giannis which both are in their primes. But like what you've said
Davis is performing and helping the Lakers to reached their number one slot from the West side.

Milwaukee Bucks remain atop NBA Power Rankings by taking care of business

The NBA season is in its first stretch of dog days, when results get strange. The grind of 82 games is hard, but the Milwaukee Bucks keep hanging tough.

Milwaukee is still on top of the power rankings and the competition keeps on getting tougher as the playoffs getting near. It is still not guaranteed that the no. 1 on the power rankings can make it to the finals though.

It is still not guaranteed that the no. 1 on the power rankings can make it to the finals though.

Exactly, however, once a team are no. 1 in ranking, that means they are good in overall and they should be favorites in the playoffs and in the NBA finals once they get it but they need to be consistent with that.

Bucks has improved this season, not only Giannis but his teammates as well but then again, the real challenge is in the playoffs and though the journey in the east is quite easier compared to the west but they still need to take care of the business so they can face the winner of the west and has a shot to win the NBA finals.

[xLays]

After Paul George and Patrick Berverly not playing yesterday now Kawhi didn't play against New York Knicks but today they manage to win against the Knick unlike yesterday that, that was the worst lead. They also made a franchise record - 3 players scored 30+ points.

Exactly, but Bucks with Giannis are still dominating and they could 'potentially' be the top seed. They are again on the roll, winning five straight and the closest is the Celtics which is five games behind.

After the all-star break, it will get tough because every team is juggling for the position in the play-offs but I'm sure that Bucks will be at least one-three spots on top. And let's see if they can maintain their form going to the playoffs.

They manage to win in a very close game against the Knicks which is less expected especially for those who are trying to cover the handicap. But for ML of 1.16 odds adding into any other parlay this works unlike yesterday where it's busted most of the parlay bets for them.

The only advantage they will get come playoffs time is the homecourt advantage of they remain on top. Other than that they should still keep the pace they have in the regular season or even surpass it. Some teams are playing in pace and are only showing 50-70% of their effort to remain fresh and fatigue free during playoffs.
