2024 NBA Season

[jaberwock]

Its unfortunate night for trae young and it gives a confident to knicks since their star is not on the court and hawks really feels what they missed in trae's absence. Hopefully its not a serious injury and he can able to step back as soon as possible.

But still kodus to D.Rose and Randle for stepping up since they show knicks could possibly dominate in play offs if their rooster is all healthy.

Don't worry about it, it's not serious according to the news, so that means he will be back in this season, if not in the regular season then probably in the playoffs.

Regular season is weird, some teams are playing much better than they normally are, and some teams are playing much worse than what they really are. Look at Suns, Utah, New York and you will see teams that are good in the regular season. However when the playoffs come, there won't be any of that, teams like Bucks, Sixers, Lakers, Clippers and the likes will be fighting for a finals chance, at the finals anything could happen but at the first round I am sure that all these overachieving teams will try very hard to go to second round, most will not be even able to.

This is why everyone should ignore the regular season standings, it may show a story, but the reality is very much different than the story regular standings tell. I do not know if Lebron or AD will come back for playoffs but you really think Lakers are as bad as the standings say? That's just one example.

Sus and New York has not been in the playoffs for a while, so we can't make a conclusion that they will not play well in the playoffs, but it's better because we have less expectation to the team that they will make it, but getting into the playoffs is a big success already, all they have to do is to improve every season until they'll curve their way to the playoffs and make a reputation.

I definitely wouldn’t be counting out the Suns or Jazz. I think they’ve both proven themselves to be building strong teams over a multi-year period. I think both of those teams have a good chance to make it to the second round. New York I’m not so sure about, but they’ve been playing great lately for sure.

You are quite right as after season, everything will be 0-0 standings. But Suns and Knicks will be a new addition so there's a surprise.

But in terms of betting, I disagree with you. The regular season standing is a reference for those who are betting on a Series match.

And those teams you mentioned that will fight for the Finals are already stacked so they are common picks. There should be no ignoring the regular season standing. It's a good basis for gamblers that will put a bet on the First Round of Playoffs especially Series or Per Game betting.

Suns is with Paul, we know how good he is in the playoffs, so definitely they could compete in the NBA Finals, so as the Jazz because they have improve now and they are an experience playoff team already, Mitchell just to get back healthy again and JC should be consistent like what he is doing in the regular season.

Boston Celtics vs Phoenix Suns, Boston huge underdog in this match @2.80. Suns on a two game winning streak.

Celtics don't stand a chance. Suns is on-fire and they are playing good recently.

But if there's something in your mind that it's worth to risk for Celtics, then you can follow it.

There are upset called in the first place.

[wheelz1200]

Do you think that the Celtics, who is a underdog can pull a upset here? They are still in the 6th place just behind Atlanta Hawks. Or the powerful West team can win with a (-5.5) handicap?

No Jayson Tatum, No Kemba Walker, No Jaylen Brown, Celtics will be too easy to handle for the Phoenix Suns.

On their first meeting, Sunx able to hold Celtics with a 10 point lead with Tatum and Kemba on board.

Don't risk for Moneyline with them.

Completely agree.  Phoenix maybe on a second leg of a back to back but with the Celtics without those 3 I don't think they will even be able to crack 100 against the suns here.  Suns are not a dark horse but they are my dark horse to win the entire chip this year.  Like picking a Longshot (besides the Knicks:)) to run with.

You like an underrated team,..same here, nobody is talking about them beacuse all eyes are looking at the Nets and the Lakers, but look how good the Suns are, they could get into the top 1 before the regular season ends. Lots of improvement on the competition this year, it's hard to predict who will win the NBA finals or who will advance.

I've suffered since 1999 watching them year in year out.  Gut themselves with eddy curry type trades.  Rely on the likes of vets at the end of their career to be starters, and Isiah completely gutting the team.  Marbury and Stevie Francis in one backcourt oh that was special lol.  And then watching LeBron tell the world he was taking his talents to South Beach:(.  Getting the 9th draft pick in the draft when steph was taken 8th.  Completely sucking in 1st position in the zion draft and get rj instead (although I love rj, just like zion much more).  It's been a rough ride for sure.  But you ain't a fan unless you've been through the hard times.

You can never make a conclusion here, Celtics loves to challenge good teams and they are hungry for a win. Both teams are 8-2  (w-L) in their last 10 games and Celtics are playing at hom, I guess Celtics has a good chance here.

There are upset called in the first place.

We can only call it an upset if one team is the heavy favorite, but line has changed, opened at +6.5, now only +1.5 for the Celtics.

Celtics is one of the team in the East I admire the most because of their passion to win despite of being a young team. But this game right here against the Suns seems difficult for them because Injuries are bugging the NBAthis whole season and the Celtics are no exemption.
Jaylen, Tatum, and Fournier these guys are all questionable for today's game.
While the Suns probably has the healthy roster.
I don't know let's see what happens to the game.

You might missing the point that most Celtics superstars won't play on that game.

Or if you missed it browse some news. Celtics won't be given an odds over 2 if they are healthy.

That 8-2 record of Celtics on their last games involves their superstar.

Their stars will actually play, that's according to the news that was published 6 hours ago.

Celtics injury report: Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker in, Jaylen Brown doubtful vs. Suns Thursday

Jaylen Brown doubtful, but he might play in this game, however, even if without him, as long as Tatum, Smart and Walker is there, I guess they looked like a complete team.

[agustina2]

A fresh news I missed it. Thanks for updating.

With that I will change my statement above and Celtics now have more chance to beat the Phoenix Suns. The line now moved from 2.8 to 2.0. Look at the impact of that news. But will stay on my stand that they are nothing against the healthy Suns if most of their superstars will not play on that game.

Hopefully they will play so we can see an exciting game.

Let us not expect Jaylen Brown to play here, I'm not sure if that's the latest update, but regardless, Celtics still stand a chance here, so it's good to see that both are playing healthy. I'll just enjoy watching the game, but I'm not putting a bet on this game.

Jaylen Brown (left shoulder) will not suit up for Thursday's game vs. the Suns, as expected.

Jaylen Brown doubtful, but he might play in this game, however, even if without him, as long as Tatum, Smart and Walker is there, I guess they looked like a complete team.

I was also thinking that Celtics were going to be deprived of their best players. I didn't know that they bounced back from their injuries, thank you. Then everything can happen in this game. I think we will watch a very competitive one. But I still see Suns as one step ahead.

They are now leading the Phoenix Suns comfortably, Kemba Walker has a good game, good match up against Chris Paul but he got the numbers now.

I put a bet on Suns @(-4.5), but I guess I have to accept that most likely I will lose this bet.

Finally though, it seems that the New Orleans will end their losing drought against Orlando Magic (hopefully).

Tatum and Walker played. Celtics at lead now with 10 points.
I don't think this will go the Suns way.
That's the problem with news they provide before the game. They put players in questionable status while they are totally healthy.
Celtics might win this one with Kemba on fire.

Mavs vs Lakers later. Don't miss it. A must win for the Mavs team so this game might go crazy tight.

Regarding the Mavs vs Lakers, will Anthony Davis suited up for this game? Reports are circulating that he might be playing tonight.

Yeah, Celtics already won by 13 points. Hope someone won because they are a underdog here.

Anthony Davis played a little but not well. Not very encouraging but nice to see him out there. The game is ending as I type this. A good ending so far, especially the part Montrez Harrell got hit in the face with the ball on a pass from Dennis Schroeder. Looks like Luka Doncic is going to bring home the win for the Dallas Mavericks though.

Dallas actually win, the ball movement is nice witnessed, Luka still luka with some magic but what I'm worried is that Porzingis   seened to have sprain his ankle, he did not anymore return in that game. Hopefully next time we will see some extended minutes from Davis. With this loss, Lakers dropped to rank number 5 with 35-24 record.

it's a good start I think, maybe he is just being cautious about his injury, physically he is really but his mind is not, I would not be surprised if the management will control his minutes because they are on the critical stage of the season they won't take the risk to injured Davis because they have bigger plans, they should minimize playing time until such time he's 100% ready.
