2024 NBA Season

[Viscore]

Tomorrow will be Utah against the Sacramento Kings.
If they feel devastated after losing that streak this could be a win for the Kings. +395 on the money line.

Most likely to happen Kings is capable of beating above .500 teams. So, If you're feeling lucky, go grab it lol 

Kings does not have a pretty road record, so I think I would not go with this, maybe at + points its possible but I think it's still risky as the Jazz are ready to bounce back strong at home.

I would rather pick the other game, like the Blazers vs the Thunder, in this game I would go with the Thunder.

Thunder has to bounce back, Blazers will be tired as they just played against the Dallas Mavericks and this is a back to back against the Thunder who are aiming to bounce back in the winning track. Good luck, I like the OKC in this game too, and if CJ will not play, OKC will sure hammer them.

Anybody saw what happened during the bulls vs sixers game? Well they don't call sixers for no reasons. There comes a time on that game where they just played 6 people versus 5. This doesn't usually happen in the NBA but sometimes, it get through. It's funny though, hope you can find a clip of that.

I would say Dallas over Portland and Miami over OKC. I don't know the spread so I am purely talking about money line here, I already mentioned I liked betting money line over handicap before because handicap is not something thats easy to guess in basketball, sure it gives much better odds but thats just too much of an unknown to continue for me.

If you are in Miami Heat, yes, you should pick Moneyline. Not with the odds (although there isn't much difference in Handicap and ML odds) but the spread is quite risky to take as this team is almost an equal and match. The same goes for Oklahoma City Thunders.

If you are in Dallas, ignore that Moneyline since it's not worth it unless you will put a decent amount.  Instead, take the handicap. But take note, both handicaps given to Mavs and Blazers do have a chance to cover so it will now be based on who is your favorite. Blazers' Melo, Lillard and McCollum are making good averages on their last 10 games, win or loss. I'm seeing Mavericks will win here but Blazers might cover the spread. Or if you are confused, skip this game.

Dallas mavs and blazers game would actually be a good play to bang the over.  Portland is gonna come out gunning but their defense is terrible against teams like dallas.  I see dallas 125-110 win in this one

Ended up 120-112 pretty close.  I liked that over need to look at today's games.  So far  I like philly-4 against the knicks.  Knicks are terrible.  Also digging the orlando game today.  They have been playing really good, fultz finally playing towards his potential.

 Yeah that was a weird moment, that has happened before as well in basketball.

 Here it is the video of it, sometimes these things happen for no reason at all, I guess players have miscommunication and it happens, not a common thing of course but its not the first time ever neither. Funny part is, they changed the rule book because of these mistakes, when there is 6 people on the court they used to "had to count" the basket because they can't retract it by rule, now if a team has 6 people on court (like last night) the basket doesn't count, thats a logical change in the rules if you ask me.

Spurs lost once again, and this time they were actually playing very well and beating but couldn't stop the last 2-3 minutes of attacks and there was plenty of three pointers shot during that span, not just Trae young (who had his fair share). I don't get this team, Pop is known for good defense, they always played hardcore defense for the past 25 years, they had a new rookie Dejounte who literally got all-defense team honors, and yet right now they are playing horrible defense.

Their offense is no 2016 warriors of course but by comparison their offense is not really that bad anymore, it started the year bad but nowadays with LMA going out more and Derozan going in, they are actually doing decently on offense, unless they figure out a way to improve their defense, I am sorry but they will miss the playoffs if they don't get their defense any better.

Both teams losses their previous games, just like you it's good to pick OKC since they've got much deeper and balance squad unlike with blazers with only limited players to score and with the news where CJ might not be on this match chances is much higher for the Thunders to win this game and go back to the winning  spot.

Funny video yet the clip that I was talking about isn't included in here. It's funny how NBA players sneak out when they realized they were six on the court. And being six in the court is funny when sixers do it for they are not to be called sixers for no reason haha. Instead of the change, I think the proper call for that is a technical foul don't you think?

Kings being banged down hard at the 1st.   20 point lead now at the start of the 2nd.

It is okay, it is the Jazz though. They might really be angry losing that winning streak.  
Denver Nuggets vs Indiana Pacers tomorrow. This will be a good view of defensive strategies.
Will definitely watch this game.

-3.5 for Nuggets  @ 2.18 on the money. Yeah, will bet just for fun.   Lets go Nuggets!

They will again start a new winning streak, they are really good at home, no wonder why the odds is -9 and they still covered it.
Clarkson had another great game with 20 points off the bench, when this guy is going, good things happen for the Jazz.

good odds, even without Jamal, I think they can still pull a win at home, GL!

But when you look at the minutes. DeRozan had been playing for 38 minutes. That was really exhausting. Then, 33 minutes for Dejounte.

It was just a 1 point lead though, so they still made a good job back there considering they are against a powerful three pointer team.
I would still give it to the Spurs for stepping up now.
Defense might not be there at the fourth but as I said, they could be tired.

But looking at the points made at the 3rd. 41 for the Spurs while 21 only made points for the Hawks. They really stopped them from giving a good shot.

Lakers won against the Rockets by 9 points on the road.

Harden and westbrook scored, 34 and 35 respectively but it's not enough to beat the Davis less Lakers.
They are so good right now, it's hard to beat against the King especially when other role players are stepping up.

NO davis but the Lakers had Pope and Kuzma to step up, and they are so strong in the paint, which has 9 blocks against 4 only by the Rockets.

Rockets are playing russ and the beard too long. It is good they are in a good pace now but this is the reason that they dont work out in the play offs. They play at least 10 minutes each quarter. Even if they are not injured, they would be overrun by fatigue.

Both of them dominate the points and this won't work against the top contender in the NBA, maybe on weaker teams they will have the success but when it comes to playoffs time, it will be hard for them to beat a team that played good defense and work like a team.

Nuggets, Jazz, and even OKC, I doubt Rockets have a chance on winning in a series.

new trade news.

Report:Trail Blazers trade Kent Bazemore, Anthony Tolliver to Kings for Trevor Ariza, others

What do you think about the trade?

Kings being banged down hard at the 1st.   20 point lead now at the start of the 2nd.

Easy win by  Jazz, they controlled the game from 1st quarter.
I must say that i expected way more from Kings this season, considering their performance last year but it seems that they simply overachieved last season and that's it, they are back to their real selves this year.
They will have to do something this summer, i heard rumour  that they are planning to even get rid off Bjelica and Bogdanovic.

Regarding the game last night, good thing for Jazz is that they can always count on either Mitchell or Bogdanovic to score 30, and Gobert playing DPOY level of defense. Add on that good performances from Clarkson and you get 29-13 score.
It will be interesting to see how will Jazz react  now when Conley is back, especially when he gets more minutes, as he played only 15 last night.

I hope it will not distract the chemistry they have now, however, we can't expect that Jazz will be better with him but his experience is pretty needed in the playoffs, I think it would be good for Conley if he will be in the 2nd unit, but the question is, would they allow a high paid player to be in the 2nd unit?

Im sorry for your lossing bet my friend, I remember I was the one who pushed you to put your bet on the Kings lol.
Well, that was a good bounce back game for the Jazz with a strong 1st quarter. It's really hard to bet on a struggling team hoping to get a win against a top 8 seeded team.  

And I just realized Kings doesn't have a good road record, thanks to this guy @Viscore for speaking up.

Kings does not have a pretty road record,

Looks to me like they are adding defense. Trevor Ariza is good at that even against.
Just an okay deal for me, not that great though.
Since they have offensive players already they might really need it.

It's like Clarkson is having such a good time with the Jazz team that he can make such good stats.
He is starting to act like a real pro NBA player now. Yeah, that is how it should be. Consistent offensive contribution is what he does. Great.

It's normal to see players more inspired especially if they are playing in good teams, and Jazz is already a good team before he arrive but with his arrival, it only boost the Jazz to become a better team, not that they are consistent, they are sure to get the home court advantage once they are in the playoffs, probably top 2 or top 3 is where they will land.

last time they beat the Clippers, I don't see them play with the Lakers yet but i guess they can also do that now they most of the players are healthy.
