NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Botnake]

I only bet one game last night as I was sort on bad losing streak.

Sacramento Kings vs OKC -3.5 @1.84 and it's good that the Kings has enough left in the tank to cover the handicapped.

I think we can really trust the Kings. The usual players who scored well are still contributing, especially Fox. Honestly, I was a bit tempted to bet on the Kings, but I realized that they might get tired because of the double overtime. However, I was wrong, they still continued their dominance. Next time, I won't miss betting on this team. They are a young team but a real playoff contender now.

Warriors coming from behind to win against the T'Wolves, Klay Thompson carrying the team again with 32 big points. Nuggets coming back from a big lost against the Memphis and beat the Clippers in OT.

Clippers still struggle to get a win at home, they should break that soon.

Golden State Warriors - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves @ 2.12 - Loss
- I underestimated the Warriors on this one that's why I lost.

That's a bad decision. You cannot underestimate the Warriors, even without Curry, as long as they are playing at home. They have a very impressive home record, and that's the venue where Thompson's shooting is very efficient. The game was close overall, but the Warriors managed to win and cover the betting spread.

I was thinking that GSW will let this one go after that 3rd quarter run from the Wolves, but to my surprise they push this one
and do everything to reverse the outcome.

Klay again provides the need while Steph was out, shooting impressively while helping as well with their defense, the rest
was all-in to win the game.

I'm sure there are live bettors who take the risk for GSW while they are down after the end of the 3rd quarter.

The final Nuggets v Clippers period has begun (is anyone else watching?)
Whoever bet on the Clippers must be happy lol

I did but not for the LA Clippers. 
I made two separate parlays on the late games.

Luckily, it won and it could've been better if I went for just one 4 way parlay. But a win is still profits so I am okay with it.
I missed the Warriors game and just watching the highlights now. Also, missed the Trail Blazers game and just found out in the reports that Dame went nuts with 71 points. That's crazy.
Nuggets vs Clippers though I didn't miss. That is one hell of an entertaining game that went to overtime thanks to Porter's three-pointer and then PG13 coming back to get a foul.
They still haven't lost a game whenever Jokic makes a triple-double.

I definitely agree! Hence why Klay Thompson got a 30+ record and got the win against the Timberwolves earlier today. Folks, let's not forget that the Golden State Warriors are already proven that they are really really hard to defeat at home and that will remain as long as the Splash Brothers are still on the team, even if Klay was the only present today, what more if Steph Curry was there.

It's pretty advisable that we should just bet on the Warriors especially if they are playing at the Chase Center, or if at doubt, let's just skip the game as that's safer.

Here are my picks for today's game we got 3 games for today,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 1.43 for the 76ers and 2.95 for the Heat, for this game Dewayne Dedmon can not play for the 76ers, while Omer Yurtseven, and Nikola Jovic can not play for the heat, Kyle Lowry, Kevin Love, and Tyler Herro is doubtful if they can play for the heat, for this game because of the so many injuries of the Heat and a few of their main players my pick is the Philadelphia 76ers,

New York Knicks VS Boston Celtics

The stake odds for this game are 2.13 for the Knicks and 1.76 for the Celtics, right now the Knicks doesn't have any injuries, while Jaylen Brown and Danilo Gallinari can not play for the Celtics, and Derrick White is doubtful if he can play for the Celtics, for this game despite the Knicks doesn't have any injuries I still trust the Celtics with Jayson Tatum still in the team, my pick is the Boston Celtics,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Orlando Magic

The stake odds for this game are 1.59 for the Pelicans and 2.43 for the Magic, right now Larry Nance Jr., Zion Williamson, and E.J. Liddell can not play for the Pelicans, while Jonathan Isaac, can not play for the Magic and Michael Carter-Williams is doubtful if he can play for the Magic, for this game because they still got Brandon Ingram and CJ, McCollum so I will bet for the New Orleans Pelicans,

Thanks for the heads up mate and for your early bets as well.

Please let me tail you for the Celtics -2 and Sixers -5.5 bet because I got a feeling that the Celtics can still manage even without Brown on the lineup as there are still other reliable guys on their roster that will be present on the floor later and for the 76ers, I believe they can manage facing the Knicks and will bounce back from the decent they got in the last game.

Well, I think that's less bad!

I have no doubt, this regular season will be interesting, and I also realized that some teams are doing everything to win in these last games.

Incredible as it may seem, I realized that is much more difficult to win/settle bets at the end of the regular season.
I've been losing too often lol

Guys, does this also happen to you?

[wheelz1200]

Losing night last night first one since the break.  Need to start a new winning streak here.  Got 2l3 games tonight:

First up knicks +2.5 at home against the Celtics.  Yeah I know but jaylen brown is out and think the Knicks can suffocate Taytum enough.  Gimme the Knicks

Sixers -6 at home.  Hard loss against the celts the other night.  Think they roll this one.  Embid goes for 40 tonight

And gimme the Pelicans -4 yeah they got blown out in NY the other night but I think this one is a good matchup. 

Good luck everyone!!

Yeah, but I guess we have to trust that the Kings are a real contender this season. Fox, Sabonis and Malik Monk's chemistry and very different. We have seen Fox full potential as he is taking the game for the Kings.

I have the same bet as you mate, I put it without seeing you bet. And besides this single bet, I already up the risk with a parlay with Knicks ML + Sixers handicap, hehehe.

[MK-74]

My picks for tonight.

New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics = Boston Celtics Win 1,74 Odds.

Philadelphia 76ers (-5.5) vs Miami Heat = Philadelphia 76ers Win 1,85 Odds.

Good luck guys.

It's true. All teams are going to try harder to secure a playoff spot especially those in the brink of being dragged to the play-in tournament if ever they lose more and those in the 11-13 seeds trying to climb even just for a play-in and have a chance for the 7th and 8th spot after the small tournament. We need to observe those teams more. The Lakers are a good example.

I am sure the 76ers will force a win here after that devastating loss against the Celtics. I will be tailing you on that.
Philadelphia 76ers - Miami Heat - Philadelphia 76ers (-6.5) - Still no Kyle Lowry and Tyler Herro is in probable status.

I like the Knicks pick too.
New York Knicks - Boston Celtics - New York Knicks ML - Brown out untile March 1, White game-time decision.

New Orleans Pelicans - Orlando Magic - New Orleans Pelicans (-4.5) Might become a fast-paced game as both teams are composed of young players. Will be taking the Over 226.5.

[jakelyson]

Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat
The Philadelphia 76ers (39-20) will visit the Miami Heat (32-29) tonight at Wells Fargo Arena. The 76ers are coming from a devastating loss against the Celtics. This is their comeback game after that loss. 
Heat key injuries: Tyler Herro (rib) questionable, Nikola Jovic (back) out, Kevin Love (knee) probable, Kyle Lowry (knee) questionable
76ers key injuries: Dewayne Dedmon (hip) out

New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics
The New York Knicks (35-27) are hosting the visiting Boston Celtics (44-17) tonight at Madison Square Garden. The Celtics are coming from a nailbiter win against the Philadelphia 76ers, 110-107. The Knicks is on a 5 game winning streak.Knicks are defending their home and playing good basketball but I think Celtics still has the upper hand in this match, even without Jaylen Brown.
Celtics key injuries: Jaylen Brown (personal) out, Derrick White (ankle) probable

[ralle14]

New Orleans Pelicans - Orlando Magic - New Orleans Pelicans (-4.5) Might become a fast-paced game as both teams are composed of young players. Will be taking the Over 226.5.

I also have the Pelicans -3 but I took a smaller handicap because I think this will be a close win and I doubt they can win by more than double possession after their rocky form on the road.

Magic's road record is 3-2 so far this month so they could still put up a good fight but this should be a win for the Pelicans knowing they're better at home.

Well, ever since the Chicago Bulls trade for Patrick Beverly, they seems to be a bit of a different team. Now it’s only been two games so far, as well as they played versus some pretty crappy teams, but you can just tell in their style of game of late, that they are a changed team.

The Bulls face off with the Toronto Raptors tomorrow, getting +4.5 points. I’m going to ride their hot hand and lay a few Satoshi down for this one.

[ralle14]

...

Rip my bet as the Pelicans extend their losing streak, they trail almost the entire game but whenever they close in on the lead the Magic suddenly pulls away. 

For tomorrow, i'm planning to take GSW ML or the spread, the Blazers could threaten the Warriors but the Warriors won in their last meeting at home and I think we're likely going to see the same result again here as they're the third best home team in the West just behind the Grizzlies.

[LogitechMouse]

Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat
The Philadelphia 76ers (39-20) will visit the Miami Heat (32-29) tonight at Wells Fargo Arena. The 76ers are coming from a devastating loss against the Celtics. This is their comeback game after that loss. 

After that devastating loss against the Celtics, they're feeling devastated yet again as they lost against the Heat on their own home court.
A circus shot by Butler to take the lead, a block from Adebayo on Embiid, and Harden fouling Butler. A sequence that made the Sixers lose the game. I just hope that the Sixers are ok and make a comeback after 2 straight losses.

They got one of the best defensive back courts now in the league in Caruso and Beverley. They can just lock down opponents guard if both of them are on the court. They are on a 2 game winning streak after they got Beverley and with DeRozan back in their line-up, that might've boosted the morale of the whole team.

Tomorrow they will be facing the Raptors on the road. The Bulls aren't that good on road and has only a 10-20 record, but the Raptors aren't playing good either even though they are on a 4 game winning streak, it's up against the bottom teams in the league currently.

Betting on the Bulls might be a good choice with this one. I will put a bet on them.

Hmm... what you said, I confess it's totally plausible.
Thanks for your explanation.

I didn't think of it that way, but I have no doubt that several teams will do anything to get at least a seed in the playoffs of this season.

Well, regarding the Lakers, as incredible as it may seem, I believe they will be able to get some seed in this season, but for that to happen they need to stand out and play extremelly well!
And of course, no player can get any injury, especially LeBron or AD

They need to play with high consistency, as the competition in the West is getting tighter now that Durant and Irving are playing for their respective teams. As of now, they are ranked number 12 but still very close to rank 4, so every game matters for a team that doesn't have a secure ranking.

And of course, no player can get any injury, especially LeBron or AD

I'm more concern on AD.

And the proof happened today.
Miami Heat forced a win despite the fact that they were underdogs against the home team 76ers. Most of us did bet for Philly here and we lost it. The 76ers had a hard time taking the lead, they had it once in the 4th quarter 99-98 if I remember it right and then Miami Heat didn't stop at taking the lead back.
Bam Adebayo's mid-range shots were switched on, their defense got heavier and it made the 76ers have a difficult time scoring.

1/3 for me.
Pelicans also lost their game against the Orlando Magic. They may also be trying to pave their way for a play-in spot.

[LogitechMouse]

1/3 for me.
Pelicans also lost their game against the Orlando Magic. They may also be trying to pave their way for a play-in spot.

With Zion, they are a top team, but without him, they are just an average player.
They are now on a 4 game winning streak and also they are 2 games below 500 already. The once top seed on the start of the season are now on the last spot of the play-in tournament.

One player out because of injury already has a huge effect to the team. Anyway, they need to get wins right now to at least get to a play-in spot before Zion comes back. If Zion will come back, and they are on the play-in tournament, I think they can get the 8th spot at best.
Here are my bets for tomorrow's ballgame:

Toronto Raptors - Chicago Bulls - Chicago Bulls
- With how the Bulls are playing in their last 2 games and with DeRozan coming back, I think they can steal one on the road. Just let Lavine and Derozan do the scoring, and Caruso and Beverley will do the defend.

Golden State Warriors - Portland Trail Blazers - Golden State Warriors
- I already made a mistake by not betting on them against the Timberwolves on their home. Now I will not making that same mistake again. The Warriors have one of the best home records right now and with how they played on their last game, I think they can still do it again even without Wiggins and Green (probable).

Oklahoma City Thunder - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings
- SGA is ruled out on this game, but on the other hand Fox is questionable, but weighing how impactful it is if both of them aren't playing on their respective teams, I think the Kings can still get a win on the road. They still have pieces like Sabonis, Monk, Huerter and Murray to get the win.

Brooklyn Nets - Milwaukee Bucks - Brooklyn Nets
- I just don't want to say too much on this bet of mine. I just felt for a second that the Nets might break the winning streak of the Bucks. Well, the chances of me being wrong is high knowing how good the Bucks are playing right now, but I just took a risk and will not regret if I lost to it.

Good luck to all of us  bettors.
