NBA 2023-2024 betting

[ralle14]

I'll be betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder -2.5 @1.98 as the odds look pretty good against the Pelicans, they'll be playing at home and whenever they're favorites at home they usually cover (currently 8-3 ATS). The Pelicans are still struggling on the road currently with only 2 away wins out of at least 10 games and with their poor form it seems unlikely for them to break the streak today when they're up against one of the best teams that cover the spread.

What do you guys think about the whole Chicago Bull situation.  Were they stupid to stand pat and not make any trades? Do you think that they should literally consider trading Lavine? At this point he's the only mid to long term option that's set in stone, so for me I think it would have made sense to deal DeRozan and Vuc perhaps.  Who the hell knows when Ball will be back, if ever. Frustrating season for my club.

Golden State Warriors vs Washington Wizards
The Golden State Warriors (28-28) will host the Washington Wizards (26-29) tonight at Chase Center. Golden State is extra strong in their home, hopefully, it is still true in this game.
Warriors key injuries: Gary Payton II (core muscle injury) out, Andre Iguodala (hip) out
Wizards key injuries: Kyle Kuzma (ankle) out

Unfortunately, Miami Heat was defeated by the Denver Nuggets by a 4 point margin. It was a close game though, both teams are chasing each other in every quarter but the Heat didn't manage to get the last quarter.

Tailing you on the Golden State Warriors -3.5 @ Chase Center, I believe they can still defend their home successfully today even without Steph Curry on the floor because of a lower leg tightness. The management has said that he won't be playing until the All-Star game.

And I lose my bet here. I was thinking that Miami had the advantage since they are at home and Murray did not play, but it was really the teamwork of the Nuggets that made them the better team here. I'm done with Miami Heat, they are so inconsistent.

Not able to him on their homecourt, sometimes OKC is unpredictable too, they won road games but lose on their home court. Maybe the spread was too easy that it looks like a trap, I'm not sure where the public money is going in this game, most likely it's on the home team, so I'm not surprise with the result.

Oh man , no matter what I pick in NBA , I cannot get a winning bet!

I've tried my luck quite sometimes lately and nothing hits. Last night , I was so sure about my bet but guess what , Hornets decide to play their best game of season so far...

[Maslate]

@boltz, nothing is easy in NBA, parlay is the hardest to win even if you will pick the heavy favorites to win. Just have some fun with parlay, don't focus too much on that, maybe you can bet on one bet per game, and I'm sure your chance to win will increase.

It's very frustrating if we put a decent amount in our parlay bet and the games that we thought would easily hit will lose. Been there dude, so I decided to calm down a bit on parlay bets.

Frustrating season for my club.

Was waiting for their big move too but nothing. We have heard a lot of rumors about their two star shooters wanting a trade and yet it didn't become fruitful, I guess nobody really pushed it to move forward.
The Bulls management might want to just let it go on where it is this season, if they are going to lose, so be it. The inconsistency is not tolerable anymore and I don't feel like it's working out for them, no chemistry at all. Next year though, it might be different.

Sorry about your parlay @boltz, you are not alone. 

Cleveland Cavaliers - San Antonio Spurs - Cleveland Cavaliers (-12.5)
Charlotte Hornets - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks (-3.5)
New York Knicks - Brooklyn Nets - Brooklyn Nets ML
Miami Heat - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML

Cavs 117 - SAS 109 - didn't cover the spread. It was supposed to hit but garbage time happened.
Hornets 144 - Hawks 138 - high scoring game but Hawks without Collins is a big hole.
Knicks 124 - Nets 106 - Brunson was mad, I think he had 34 at the end of 3rd quarter. Ended at 40, I thought he is going to break his career high.
Heat 108 - Nuggets 112 - Somehow this game gave me a win.
1/4 for my early bets. Lots of loss in parlays. Two short late-game parlays won.

A familiar game setup with Denver. They manage to play together and snatch this game against the Heat. Not really good for
the home team as they are good in the first quarter but unable to hold the lead for long.

after Denver close the game end of a 2nd quarter, the game was close but like what you said, Denver is good with how they
execute their plays.

5 games later guys. Place your picks!

Milwaukee Bucks - Boston Celtics - Milwaukee Bucks (-7.5) I don't want to underestimate the Boston Celtics by too much so I didn't take the -10.5 for the Bucks. So many questionable players on the Celtics roster but there's a chance someone will step up his game and cling to a close game. Giannis is also probable to play.

Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings ML Kings all the way!  Malik Monk is out due to what happened at their last game against the Mavericks, very bad fall. KD won't be playing until the All-Star so let's not expect his debut for the last 2 games of the Suns.

Portland Trail Blazers - Washington Wizards - Portland Trail Blazers (-4.5) Portland is now better defensively with the addition of Matisse Thybulle so Simons and Dame can focus on the offensive end. Jerami Grant is probable to play. No updates yet if Kyle Kuzma will play.

Good luck everyone.

[MK-74]

My picks for tonight.

Phoenix Suns (-2.5) vs Sakramento Kings = Phoenix Suns Win 1,85 Odds.

Portland Trail Blazers vs Washington Wizards = Portland Trail Blazers Win 1,77 Odds.

Good luck guys.

I've got like $27 dollars worth of betting that I have to make in order to fully cash out my current balance at one of my online casino accounts, so I'm trying to pick between one of these games and I think you make some good points above, so I'll be choosing one of your picks ( I hope you know your stuff lol).  I was thinking of betting on the Suns, but the information you listed above helps with that decision now ( going with the Kings too).  Thx and good luck to us.

Bucks and Kings though could be the best bet for your $27  

Specially the Kings who are the underdog here against the Phoenix Suns. They are very good road team.

While the Bucks has the 10 game winning streak and playing at Fiserv against the top seed Celtics. So there is pride on this game, Giannis for sure wanted to get Celtics a beating in this game.

Edit: ML with Portland is also very attractive already.

I like the Bucks going into tonight game too, not just about being the home team or trying to take some form of pride in the game, the Boston Celtics could also be without their complete 5 starters, with Jaylen Brown, Tatum, and Marcus Smart all ruled out already, and Robert Williams and Al Horford listed as questionable, Milwaukee Bucks could have wished for a better time to face the Celtics, the second unit of Celtics led by Derrick White and Brogdon are still a bit of force to reckon with, so the Bucks shouldn't get all comfortable too.

Lose my parlay due to Heat vs Nuggets match but it is worth the risk. Thought the Heat could defend their home, but I guess the Nuggets are still very dangerous even without Murray. It is a good game though.

Congrats on your GSW bet. They are really scary when defending their home.

Here's my bet for today. Betting against the Warriors right now. It is a back-to-back game for them, and they are on the road against a strong Clippers.

[LogitechMouse]

Thought the Heat could defend their home, but I guess the Nuggets are still very dangerous even without Murray. It is a good game though.

Murray isn't the main person on the team anymore, but it's Jokic.
Add also the fact that their depth is so far one of the best in the league this season, an absence of an all-star player can't be felt that much because they still have role players like Gordon that can step up if needed.

I like the Bucks going into tonight game too, not just about being the home team or trying to take some form of pride in the game, the Boston Celtics could also be without their complete 5 starters, with Jaylen Brown, Tatum, and Marcus Smart all ruled out already, and Robert Williams and Al Horford listed as questionable, Milwaukee Bucks could have wished for a better time to face the Celtics, the second unit of Celtics led by Derrick White and Brogdon are still a bit of force to reckon with, so the Bucks shouldn't get all comfortable too.

All of their core players are out, and add also the fact that they are playing on the road.
On the other hand, the Celtics are still a good team and they show it against the Grizzlies (though it was on their home). Anyway, I put my bet on the Bucks on this one and these are my bets for today:

Toronto Raptors - Orlando Magic = Orlando Magic @ 3.40
Milwaukee Bucks - Boston Celtics = Milwaukee Bucks (-7.5) @1.61
Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings = Phoenix Suns @ 1.77
Portland Trail Blazers - Washington Wizards = Washington Wizards @ 1.94

[Dave1]

It is just me who bet on the Bucks at home their winning streak at the line against the best team in their division without Celtics core and a healthy Giannis and Middleton and and Holiday and yet they are behind by 5 points against Boston?

Former Buck Malcolm Brogdon and another surprised player, Mike Muscala taking charge and the old Blake Griffin. It's going to sting if the Bucks are going to lose this one from Boston's second stringers.

[YuginKadoya]

Thanks for sharing some of your advance picks mate, let me tail you with some of your early bets.

Utah Jazz (-1.5) = This might be an easy game for the Jazz especially if Haliburton and Turner won't play as they are listed questionable for the game later.
Golden State Warriors (-4) = Kuzma is now ruled out for the game later.

And I'll try to see the Denver Nuggets vs Heat match-up later because I'm quite doubtful about the current spread. Good luck guys!

Anytime bro, but I haven't made a bet today due to being busy if you have a bet with the Pacers VS Jazz, Heat VS Nuggets, and Warriors VS Wizards then congratulations to you well the Bulls and Magic game was pretty much close, and pretty much Paolo Banchero is firing dime while their spread was good as well they have managed to stay on the rhythm

A familiar game setup with Denver. They manage to play together and snatch this game against the Heat. Not really good for
the home team as they are good in the first quarter but unable to hold the lead for long.

after Denver close the game end of a 2nd quarter, the game was close but like what you said, Denver is good with how they
execute their plays.

The great thing about the Nuggets was even though they have Nikola Jokic they are not much relying on them they certainly got players that are very well good at anything and the because of that they have a great spread on their scores, and another thing Jokic is consistent in making double-double or triple-double plays that is why he can surely knock their opponents into a great lead,

Here are my picks on Yesterday's games,

Indiana Pacers VS Utah Jazz SCORE 117 - 123 - WIN

Miami Heat VS Denver Nuggets SCORE 108 - 112 - WIN

Chicago Bulls VS Orlando Magic SCORE 91 - 100 - LOST

Golden State Warriors VS Washington Wizards SCORE 135 - 126 - WIN

I wish you didn't go with the Sacramento Kings. 
Booker is back to being explosive all of a sudden, I thought he is still taking his time finding his rhythm back and I didn't expect it to be as soon as now.
He made 32 points 13/20 FG, that's above freaking 50 percent which is high and he didn't try any three-pointers. Looks like he knew he need to find his shooting range first and it was one hell of a successful trial.

Milwaukee Bucks on the other hand won the game but I lack two more points to cover the spread. As I said, I don't want to underestimate the Celtics and only took the lowest spread there is, which is -7.5. Perhaps, the safest could've been the +10.5 for the Celtics.

Not my day, sorry.
To the winners, congratulations.

Same here, I thought that -7.5 is going to be covered by the Bucks because of Celtics missing their best players. And I thought that the winning streak is going to be end tonight.

The Bucks started very strong in the fourth, from down 95-90, then tie the score and even take the lead. But Celtics keeps fighting back and when you thought that the game is already done with the Bucks leading 3, Sam Hauser nail that three in the middle, forcing OT. Not a good night for some of us.
