NBA 2023-2024 betting

[YuginKadoya]

^ I like your picks except for the Orlando Magic vs New Orleans Pelicans pick. Orlando is basically tanking to try and get the first pick and CJ McCollum I think is enough for the Pelicans to beat them. We’ll see. When a team is tanking though I never like to give them the benefit of the doubt. There’s no way I’d place a bet for the Magic or the Rockets this season. They just seem way too likely to lose intentionally.

Well I don't think underestimating the Orlando Magic is the right choice and even though CJ McCollum was on the Pelicans, and even though the Orlando Magic is not really a decent team right now without Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram the Pelicans are not really complete, so for me, the Magic having Paolo Banchero, Bol Bol, Franz Wagner Wendell Carter Jr. Markelle Fultz, and Cole Anthony I really think they only lack chemistry within the team and these names will surely rise in the future of NBA,


So here are the results of my picks for today's game it was just decent and I really thought that the Jazz would surely win and I was really surprised about the Lakers VS the Grizzlies, I should have wished that I didn't underestimate the Lakers as I have did with the Orlando Magic,

Orlando Magic VS New Orleans Pelicans SCORE 123 - 110 - WIN

Just as I thought CJ McCollum is not really enough to win and sometimes the Orlando Magic can also do surprising things like this but if Zion or Brandon would return for the Pelicans then that is a different story, but still, because the Magic are a sure decent team that lacking chemistry in my opinion but surely they have surprise anybody in this game, for winning against the Pelicans, but still Williamson and Ingram is not on the team so it could be luck,

Utah Jazz VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 106 - 117 - LOST

I really think that Jordan Clarkson did a fine job but still, the others aren't really progressing much because Kyrie Irving has played for the Nets it is a different story for having a double-double of 11 rebounds and 48 insane points he surely carries the game on his back,

Sacramento Kings VS Oklahoma City Thunder SCORE 118 - 113 - WIN

I'd say it was a close game and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played a key role in this game but still, the Kings have taken the Victory, with Domantas Sabonis getting the Triple-double of 13 rebounds, 14 assists, and 18 points, De'Aaron Fox had 25 points and Keegan Murray got a double-double of 14 rebounds and 29 points winning the game,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Memphis Grizzlies SCORE 122 - 121 - LOST

This is truly a surprising game and an Insane game to watch and I really enjoyed it I really wish I haven't underestimated the Lakers that much, but the most exciting part was the 4th quarter there are many free throws and fouls that have been called, and if it wasn't for Dennis Schroder the hero that has steals the ball on the blind side of Desmond Bane it was an insane game Dennis Schroder got 19 points, Lebron James got 23 points, And Russell WestBrick have gotten 29 points winning the game against the Grizzlies,

You are not wrong, especially yesterday. 
I am with the Jazz and the Nuggets here, not just because of homecourt advantage but Nuggets had been on a great streak and I don't think it's the Indiana Pacers who can stop it. Just waiting if they can cover the spread but upon watching it looks like they will.

Utah Jazz on the other hand seems to have a difficult time putting a distance against the Brooklyn Nets. Kyrie is doing all the dirty work.

Look, unfortunately (or fortunately lol) I didn't place any bets on this round.

Well, unforeseen things happen, and in fact that's what happened with the Jazz vs Nets game.
I confess I wasn't expecting this result... But Kyrie Irving was on fire, and practically carried the Nets to victory!

Talking about Nuggets x Pacers game, it happened as expected, an expressive victory for Denver. I would also like to share the excellent performance that the Nuggets had in the 3 point shoot (50% accuracy), it was a very good performance!

Jazz has been outperformed by the Nets, it's an overall performances lead by Kyrie. I also didn't expect that since Jazz is really hot playing at home and with the past performances of Nets.

Kyrie got awaken by the negative social media attacks I guess and now he's doing his stuff
and playing against the public, he surprised those bettors who bet against them. Congrats
to those who bet for them.

[danherbias07]

Looks like I was wrong. The Magic came through with a rare victory. Yet another example of how there’s never a safe bet. McCollum had a bad shooting night and the Magic shot great. That was enough to make the difference. A great bet if you can predict it. I’d still bet against the Magic versus anybody else in the NBA though. They’re obviously tanking.

New Orleans Pelicans was at a good stance in the first half, the 3rd quarter was just a tie for both teams but the 4th quarter was the game changer of all when Orlando Magic dominated. It's not Banchero, it's Franz Wagner this time who got hot and claimed the win for the Magic at their homecourt.

Talking about Nuggets x Pacers game, it happened as expected, an expressive victory for Denver. I would also like to share the excellent performance that the Nuggets had in the 3 point shoot (50% accuracy), it was a very good performance!

Yeah, a big one for the Denver Nuggets, and they continued their winning streak, that's their 9th now and their 15th at home.
You are lucky you missed the Jazz bet, I was not  , it was a close game until the Nets made their distance in the last minutes of the game.

2/4 for all my early bets.
Who else got lucky here on betting early for the Warriors without knowing the 4 stars are out?  I know @Natalim did as I tailed his bet.
Congratulations to all of you. That's a good amount at ML.

I'd say I'm right with OG on this one, the Pelicans seem to be on another level entirely, and he's pointed out even without Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum is literally just enough to facilitate a win for the Pelicans.

_______

I'd also love to take the Clippers spread, but I'd have to wait until the lineup is available before making my call, or I'll just settle for the overs without second thoughts, due to how heavy the Spurs have been allowing into the net on their own end of the court.

It has been reported that Paul George will play in this game, so I will go with the Clippers on this one, to finally end their losing skid -6.5 @1.88

Cavs vs Warriors - GSW have had issues on the road, and as I see, 8.5 @2.28 is not that bad bet so I'll take that risk.

Jazz vs Nets - Jazz at home, -5.5 @1.96. Nets out of shape, Kyrie can't bring the team and carry it to his shoulder.

That's the game that I will go and bet pre-game. Best of luck.

Nice catch with the Warriors +8.5, I hope you had a bit on the absolute value of the Warriors ML too ? They were able to  win the game with all explosiveness of Jordan Poole.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to bet on the ML (what will I thinking?), I have done that kind of betting specially for underdogs, like when OKC was slaying top teams, too bad.

And so with Nets desperate for a win, Kyrie suddenly went beast mode, hehehe, we are all wrong so I guess majority lost here.

For the Clippers, they won, but my handicap bet was not covered, so just 1/3 for me.

[TitanGEL]

Boston Celtics VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 1.43 for the Celtics and 2.95 for the Warriors, right now Danilo Gallinari, can not play for the Celtics and Jaylen Brown is questionable if he can play for the Celtics, while Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman, JaMychal Green, and Andre Iguodala can not play for the Warriors all of them until January 20 which is this day, but for this game, I think that the Warriors are done from losing but the Celtics is not a pushover team and likely they need to be careful about this but for me, the Golden State Warriors is in a different league and they can surely win this against the Celtics so my pick is the Golden State Warriors,

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 2.60 for the Timberwolves and 1.52 for the Raptors, right now Karl-Anthony Towns, and Jordan McLaughlin, can not play for the Timberwolves, and Rudy Gobert and Austin Rivers are both questionable if they can play for the Timberwolves, while Raptors Dalano Banton is questionable if he can play for the Raptors, I think this is the 1st time for this two team to meet, and I think both teams are in a crucial position nearing the play-offs, while for me Toronto Raptors has that peace of mind that I will not lose my bet,

Looks like you lost on both of these bets brother.

Boston - Golden State is just like we are watching a Finals series again. It went to overtime and luckily for them, Boston won. I guess the Celtics can get that win and didn't went to overtime if only Tatum didn't commit those 3 turnovers at the final minutes of the game, but it's good that Brown's three went in thus, tying the game. The Celtics are now 18-5 on their home, tied with the Bucks with best home record in the East while the Warriors are now 5-18 on the road and currently at the 9th spot.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves won against the Raptors on their home. The Raptors lead most of the game until the 10 minute mark of the 4th quarter where the Raptors lead by 14 at the 9:30 mark, but the Timberwolves made a 19-5 run in the last 6 minutes to tie the ball game at near the 4-minute mark and then they stole the win against the Raptors by only 2 points.

I don't know if it's only me but it seems like Naz Reid is better than Gobert. Both of them have pros and cons, but the main reason why I said this is that, Reid can be a center, has good handling skills, can drive the ball and he can shoot threes thus, stretching the defense of the opposing team. As to Gobert, he is a great defender, but he isn't a good shooter in both perimeters and three-point area. Nevertheless, I will still think that the Gobert trade will be one of the worst trades in NBA history.

What a crazy game between Boston and Golden State, Jason Tatum and Stephen Curry have a hot hand in this game especially when curry made a still and make a half court buzzer beater shot. I remembered the shout caster said "A curry moment in Boston". On the 2nd Half, The Golden states got their momentum where the favor of the game goes to them but when the 4th quarter came; this is where the real match starts. I thought that Curry will have buzzer beater again against AL Horford but his shot missed that is the reason why they go in the Overtime. At the 1st minute of Overtime, the GSW quickly scores but they have a lot of turnovers that became the opportunity of the Celtics to score and win the game.

[KnightElite]

This is the result of my predictions yesterday

I almost won 

New Orleans Pelicans Vs Orlando Magics - LOST

Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks - WIN

Los Angeles Clippers vs San Antonio Spurs -WIN

Indiana Pacers vs Denver Nuggets -WIN

Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers - WIN

Indeed mate, I even bet in favor of the Utah Jazz because somehow I know they are much more consistent and will take advantage of the Brooklyn Nets while they are still undermanned. Unfortunately, Kyrie gave an unexpected performance and just like you've said, he practically carried the team towards a W.

We will not see that from Kyrie in every game, so I guess I will still bet against that team in the succeeding games. Without the help of his teammates, Nets will probably continue to struggle and they will fall from the ranking.

From number 2, this team is already in number 4 now, and they are 5-5 in their last 10 games.

Not surprised about their current standing because I already expected that the Nets will somehow struggle without Durant as he is much different when he is on the team compared to Kyrie, I mean, it is already proven that Kyrie cannot carry the team as much as Durant does because their role is different, also, Kyrie isn't that impressive compared to when he was still at the Cavs where he can still provide good points in every game but now it is already different.

I guess majority here didn't see Irving will have a good game against the Jazz, we have been waiting for him to explode in the absence of Durant, but so far none of that happen until last night, so we are all wrong.

What can you say about Tatum not playing today against the Raptors?

Will this be a trap? Although Celtics is still the favorite in this game.

[Baofeng]

I missed the Raptors vs Celtics bet, because the game has started and I'm thinking of betting on the underdog Raptors, but since they have taken the lead already, the odds have chance and now they are the favorite.

Hawks vs Hornets - I'm going with the Hornets on this one, ML @3.55 and 5.5 @2.23

Cavs vs Bucks - I'll go with the Cavs at home -2.5 @1.88

Wolves vs Rockets - Wolves -8.5 @1.94

Like me, several people were convinced that the Jazz would win the game, as Utah had a good record, the game was going to be at home and especially the Nets were without Durant.
But, Kyrie Irving guided the Nets to victory with an outstanding performance!

Thinking the same when I made my bet against them and favor the Pelicans to win their match. I was wrong and that hurt my mulit bet. It was just a bad night for McCollum coupled with Zion not playing which brings the win to the Magic. But if given the chance, I think Magic will rather take an L. You are right, I will be against the Magic against any team unless it is a Spurs team, which is also tanking purposely.

[danherbias07]

^True. Bad night for McCollum. 2/11 outside shots is not his normal gig.

Sacramento Kings versus Philadelphia 76ers happening live.
The 76ers are underdogs without James Harden and Joel Embiid. This could get easy for the Kings with Sabonis and Fox to take the win so I am betting for them at -4.5 @1.85.

Adding Phoenix Suns -1.5 @1.75 at halftime.
Although Phoenix Suns are undermanned without Booker, CP3, and Johnson, the Pacers are also struggling to find their offensive guy without Tyrese Haliburton.

wow, and what a competitive game between the Kings v Philadelphia 76ers.
There was no doubt that the Kings had a great chance of beating the 76ers, even more with the absence of James Harden and Joel Embiid.
But that didn't happen, the 76ers played so good even with the absence of their best players!!

By the way, well... I believe most of my bets have been wrong lately lol

It was really a crazy crazy fight and it was a good thing I haven't seen bookies for that Match so I missed betting for it, because if I do I will go with the Golden State Warriors, and right now the Golden State Warriors aren't really looking slick right now, it seems after that Boston Celtics game they look really tired when having a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers but they have won that game, thanks Ty Jerome, Donte DiVincenzo, and Jordan Poole, because on that game Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson was on rest, I could say they needed the rest they could get because they surely are nearing the playoffs,

This is the result of my predictions yesterday

I almost won 

New Orleans Pelicans Vs Orlando Magics - LOST

Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks - WIN

Los Angeles Clippers vs San Antonio Spurs -WIN

Indiana Pacers vs Denver Nuggets -WIN

Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers - WIN

Good for you and congrats, I haven't made any bets for games today because I fell asleep early but surely after seeing the results for games today I could completely take all that winning because if I can post that bet today, and make the bet at the same time Boston Celtics have won against the Toronto Raptors, Minnesota Timberwolves have won against the Houston Rockets, the Phoenix Suns have a victory over the Indiana Pacers, and the Sacramento Kings won against the Philadelphia 76ers, it was a total win package but instead I sleep and have a nap time for those games, so Sheeesh!

I was also in the impression that it can be an easy win for the Kings but shit happen as the second squad of Sixers played well
and didn't give it up and complete the win against them..

Adding Phoenix Suns -1.5 @1.75 at halftime.
Although Phoenix Suns are undermanned without Booker, CP3, and Johnson, the Pacers are also struggling to find their offensive guy without Tyrese Haliburton.

Lukcy you with this bet, 2 point deficit after 1st half, enough to cover your handicap.

Nt a break even since the odd is not x2 but good enough to have another shot tomorrow.. Good Luck!

I believe the Kings have led as many as 21 points but Sixers were still able to come back. The difference was really the defense of the Sixers, they have improved their defense now and they also have a good chemistry that's why they won the game. I'm wondering if anyone here able to put a live bet when they are down that big.

[danherbias07]

By the way, well... I believe most of my bets have been wrong lately lol

Yeah, it's getting more unpredictable as the teams are not that far in the ranking. They all want to be part of the playoffs so they are playing harder before the All-Star starts. Two teams are most likely to never fail a bet for them, Nuggets and Celtics, but it's the spreads where we can make mistakes if they game ends in a close one.

1/2 with my live bets.
Phoenix Suns won as I predicted, although undermanned, I can see them playing better with Mikal Bridges leading the team.
Josh Okogie helped out by doing some damage on the offensive end, he gained 24 points in 34 minutes. Then there's Saben Lee, helpful free throws to put the dagger against the Pacers.

Sacramento Kings on the other hand struggle to keep their lead, IIRC the highest point was 19 but the 76ers kept on pushing to make the game within reach and were even desperate to claim the W even without their star duo.
Tyrese Maxey always plays better whenever Harden is out. I think he can focus more on his offense when he is the one handling the ball.
