NBA 2023-2024 betting

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my result for my picks today,

Miami Heat VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 100 - 129 - LOST

The Miami Heat was in the lead at 1st but the 1st half was all for the Brooklyn Nets, it was a sure thing that Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson made a great comeback this time, they manage to lockdown Jimmy Butler with 18 points, Spencer Dinwiddie got 15 points, Cameron Johnson got 23 points and Mikal Bridge got 27 points,

Denver Nuggets VS Milwaukee Bucks SCORE 129 - 106 - WIN

The only win that I got, and actually I was really hesitant in giving the Nuggets a bet and wants to switch to the Bucks, but again with the Nuggets, and surely the Nuggets got a great spread this time, Michael Porter Jr. got 19 points, Jamal Murray got 26 points and Nikola Jovic has a double-double of 11 assists and 31 points,

Phoenix Suns VS Philadelphia 76ers SCORE 125 - 105 - LOST

Well even though without Kevin Durant they manage to dominate the game against the 76ers, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey had a great job in making those incredible points but because they don't have enough spread with their other teammates the 76ers can not do a thing, T.J. Warren got 16 points, Bismack Biyombo has a double-double of 13 rebounds and 17 points, and Devin Booker got 29 points,

Los Angeles Clippers VS New Orleans Pelicans SCORE 110 - 131 - LOST

It's great that the Pelicans are now doing great even without Zion Williamson, the LA Clippers made a great spread but it was not enough Kawhi Leonard didn't do much, CJ McCollum got 21 points, Trey Murphy III got 32 points, and Brandon Ingram has a double-double of 13 assists and 32 points winning the game against the Clippers,

Tomorrow, we have the Lakers vs. Bulls game. The Lakers are favored by 4 points, and the question is, can they continue their winning streak at home?

According to the injury report, DeRozan is listed as questionable with a quadricep injury, but I believe he will play, as the win is very important for the Bulls. We all know how unpredictable they can be, but the momentum is with the Lakers, so I think I'll go with the home team.

[LogitechMouse]

We have an exciting game to watch and bet on tomorrow. I see this as a potential championship matchup between the Bucks and the Nuggets. The Nuggets are favored by -2.5 points at home, and they are probably the public favorite in this game.

What do you think, is it right to bet on the home team or should we continue to back the Bucks, who have been so dominant in their past few games?

It ended with the Nuggets blowing out the 76ers with a 3rd quarter comeback. 34 against 19 points in that quarter. The game was so intense, three Bucks players were called for technical fouls. Giannis, Bobby, and Lopez. They didn't like how the referees are officiating the game, especially with Giannis always attacking the paint with no fouls being called. While on the other hand, Jokic had their attention which resulted in 10 of 11 in the stripe.

Don't forget the poster made by Jeff Green against Giannis. He's a 36-year old veteran, but with a verticality of a 20-year old guy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be-mh7V3qIA
Giannis lead his team with 31 points while 3 of their starters scored the exact same number of points with 13 (which is kind of unique, and weird at the same time). Anyway, these referees are becoming worse and worse. Hmm what's happening with them.

Clippers vs Pels - I'll go with the Clippers at home here, -4.5 @1.88

It's too bad that the Clippers lost again. They certainly miss the services of Paul George, and Leonard struggled with only 12 points due to a poor shooting night. I hope Paul George can return soon so that this team can be competitive in the playoffs. Right now, I don't trust the Clippers, so I'll choose to bet on other teams instead, especially the Warriors, who have been impressive at home

Kawhi is having a bad night scoring only 12 points with 4/16 on the field. Other players helped offensively as well, but the combination of Ingram, Murphy III, and McCollum is just too much for them scoring 85 of the total 130 points.

Clippers not having PG is a bad thing, but I guess they have enough players to retain that 5th spot or even 4th spot depending on their matches. They have role players like Gordon, Hyland, Mann, Plumlee and others. I think that the Warriors have a chance to get that 4th spot because they will be playing 3 straight games on their home, and we know how good they are on their home.

Oh yeah! I saw that one. Uncle Jeff still has the hops.   Even Giannis was a bit surprised by what transpired.

9 games tomorrow. Another fun thing to do is make a long parlay and wish it would hit this time for a jackpot prize.
Here are my single-team bets.
Charlotte Hornets - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-10.5) They already defeated the Hornets yesterday with an 8-point lead, I hope this time they can cover the spread. And, wishing Luka to have a fun game, stop all the drama about not having fun anymore, and just be competitive again.
Tim Hardaway is probable to play.

Orlando Magic - Brooklyn Nets - Brooklyn Nets ML @2.08 We saw how the Nets blew out the strong Miami Heat, their consistency might still not be good but they have a deep roster whenever they need someone to step up his game.

Atlanta Hawks - Memphis Grizzlies - Memphis Grizzlies (-1.5) With Ja Morant back, this team will probably try to cover as many wins as they can while rebuilding their chemistry with their star and secure the 2nd spot in the West, Kings are still tailing them with just 1 win difference.

Good luck everyone.

[wheelz1200]

Last week or so until playoffs start, gonna be a tight week out in the west.  Some decent games on tonight I'm in on 3 for now:

Pacers on the road +10 against the Hawks.

Suns -2.5 at home

And Denver-3.5 at home against the Bucks.  Excited to watch this game tonight should be a playoff type atmosphere.

Good luck tonight everyone!

2 out of 3 last night not a bad night when you beat the book.  Got 3 more games tonight:

Memphis on the road at the Hawks-2.5, Atlanta 2nd night of a back to back.  Tough game for them.

Celtics -16 hilome against the Spurs.  They shoukd be up big throughout this whole game. 

Magic -1 at home.  These 2 clubs are even in terms of talent.  Gimme the home team here.

Good luck today everyone!

[jakelyson]

Boston Celtics (-13.5) vs San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs (19-55) will battle the Boston Celtics (51-23) tonight at TD Garden. The Celtics should be able to cover since they have covered in their previous matches.
Spurs key injuries: Keldon Johnson (foot) questionable
Celtics key injuries: Jaylen Brown (fracture) available, Jayson Tatum (hip) questionable

Cleveland Cavaliers (-12.5) vs Houston Rockets
The Cleveland Cavaliers (47-28) will host the visiting Houston Rockets (18-56) tonight at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. 12.5 is a lot but I think the Cavaliers will be able to cover.
Rockets key injuries: Jae'Sean Tate (knee) out
Cavaliers key injuries: Raul Neto (hamstring) questioanable

Atlanta Hawks  vs Memphis Grizzlies
THe Atlanta Hawks (37-37) will host the visiting Memphis Grizzlies (46-27) tonight at State Farm Arena. I think the odds for the money line is good since Grizzlies is favorable to win this game.
Grizzlies key injuries: Steven Adams (knee) out, Ja Morant (nasal fracture) available

Tomorrow, we have the Lakers vs. Bulls game. The Lakers are favored by 4 points, and the question is, can they continue their winning streak at home?

According to the injury report, DeRozan is listed as questionable with a quadricep injury, but I believe he will play, as the win is very important for the Bulls. We all know how unpredictable they can be, but the momentum is with the Lakers, so I think I'll go with the home team.

Well, I am not making a bet for the next game that is for sure will be taking a breather after the losses I attained, the Lakers have a pretty much decent performance in their recent games so that is understandable, right now Javonte Green is still can not play for the Bulls while D'Angelo Russell and Mo Bamba can not play for the Lakers but still they got a great team without those two,

Don't forget the poster made by Jeff Green against Giannis. He's a 36-year old veteran, but with a verticality of a 20-year old guy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be-mh7V3qIA
Giannis lead his team with 31 points while 3 of their starters scored the exact same number of points with 13 (which is kind of unique, and weird at the same time). Anyway, these referees are becoming worse and worse. Hmm what's happening with them.

It was an epic dunk that led his teammates in utter disbelief, but surely Gianni's jump came short of the block, but still, it was a great posterize dunk, no wonder that the Denver Nuggets won that game they got pretty much decent spread in winning against the Milwaukee Bucks, and Nikola Jokic has made a near triple-double again, but it was still a double-double winning the game against the Bucks,   

Kawhi is having a bad night scoring only 12 points with 4/16 on the field. Other players helped offensively as well, but the combination of Ingram, Murphy III, and McCollum is just too much for them scoring 85 of the total 130 points.

Clippers not having PG is a bad thing, but I guess they have enough players to retain that 5th spot or even 4th spot depending on their matches. They have role players like Gordon, Hyland, Mann, Plumlee and others. I think that the Warriors have a chance to get that 4th spot because they will be playing 3 straight games on their home, and we know how good they are on their home.

Yup! this is really alarming but again I think what he really needs now is some rest, from all that he is doing it surely straining him in doing all he surely needs a rest once in a while just like what Steve Kerr is doing with the Golden State's main players,

[Baofeng]

Bad day for me last night, Bucks was overwhelmed by the Nuggets, Heat in their own homecourt lost to the Nets and then Clippers too against the Pels.

There are a lot of games already, early in my timezone, I might just do a couple of live bets later, see first what teams that could potentially upset the favorite.

Warriors vs Wolves - GSW is playing at their homecourt, so I will go with them again, -5.5.
Portland against OKC - Lillard has a season ending injury, but I will go 10.5 @1.89.

I don't know if resting Kawhi Leonard is the best option for the Clippers.

It's kind of "Pick your Poison" for the Clippers right now. You make Kawhi rest, there's a chance that your team will lose... or a higher chance of the team losing because PG isn't playing as well because of an injury, and with how tight the Western Conference still with only a few games left, a mere 3 game losing streak might put them down, and worse they might go into a play-in spot.

Now if you choose Kawhi to play, his performance will decrease over time because I don't know if this is accurate, but in his past teams, he didn't ever play back-to back games in regular season (Correct me still) because of load management. In the past, Clippers let Kawhi rest because of load management, but this time, they can't afford to do it.

Right now, it's either Kawhi will adjust himself, or his team will lose.

Charlotte Hornets - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-10.5) They already defeated the Hornets yesterday with an 8-point lead, I hope this time they can cover the spread. And, wishing Luka to have a fun game, stop all the drama about not having fun anymore, and just be competitive again.
Tim Hardaway is probable to play.

The Mavericks are struggling, losing again against a bottom seeded team in Hornets.

Currently, they are in a 4 game losing streak and losing 7 out of their last 10 games, and now out of the play-in tournament. Their remaining 7 games will be very important for them because they're now 1 game behind the 10th seeded Thunder. It seems like the Luka-Kyrie tandem turned out as a fail for the Mavericks isn't it? Do you agree? They gave away defensive first players for an offensive first and ball handler player.

That's a very risky gamble for the Mavericks, but if they will not enter the playoffs this season, it's either they will not sign Kyrie, and pick players who's specialty is defense, or sign him still and pick some defensive minded players.

Portland against OKC - Lillard has a season ending injury, but I will go 10.5 @1.89.

Yup! it was not a great day for us sure the Nets beat the Clippers and I was really shocked because I thought that Clippers could make a close game at least with the Nets, blowing up the lead for the Nets, was not what I have predicted,

Well, I haven't made a bet for today's game because I am taking a breather right now but maybe later I will think about it, but yeah NBA games are sometimes unpredictable even though you already know those injuries or doubtful if they can play it is not really 100% that the team could win,

Sad to say but the Warriors VS Wolves was a loss for you because the Timberwolves won the game, and it was really a close game, even though the Warriors was at home,

I don't know if resting Kawhi Leonard is the best option for the Clippers.

It's kind of "Pick your Poison" for the Clippers right now. You make Kawhi rest, there's a chance that your team will lose... or a higher chance of the team losing because PG isn't playing as well because of an injury, and with how tight the Western Conference still with only a few games left, a mere 3 game losing streak might put them down, and worse they might go into a play-in spot.

Right now, it's either Kawhi will adjust himself, or his team will lose.

Well this is just a maybe, we don't really know what Kawhi Leonard was thinking but maybe this could be a way to ease his struggle towards scoring but yeah, I could be wrong and there are other things that Kawhi Leonard needs to focus on more, and as you have said adjust himself to be effective and had chemistry with his teammates, and if he can do it with or without Paul George because a Clippers without him is surely not really enough,

[danherbias07]

1/3. Ouch.
Didn't win any long parlay too.

Dallas Mavericks lost against the Charlotte Hornets. It must be frustrating for Luka Doncic, he did too much on the offensive end and even had the lead in the 4th quarter yet it's not enough to claim a win. 40 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, and a pair of steals and blocks.
2 losses against the same team on consecutive games. Now they are on the 11th spot of the West, they might miss the playoffs or even the play-in if this won't change.

Brooklyn Nets also lost against the Orlando Magic. Damn, I didn't learn my lesson, don't bet against the Magic. 

My only win, Grizzlies defeating the Atlanta Hawks. That's their 6th winning streak and looks like they are not stopping yet. They can actually rest if they want to, but if they are aiming to keep the number 2 spot then playing more will be their only choice as the Kings might try to take the 2nd spot to avoid the Warriors if ever they stay at the 6th spot.

[wheelz1200]

Last week or so until playoffs start, gonna be a tight week out in the west.  Some decent games on tonight I'm in on 3 for now:

Pacers on the road +10 against the Hawks.

Suns -2.5 at home

And Denver-3.5 at home against the Bucks.  Excited to watch this game tonight should be a playoff type atmosphere.

Good luck tonight everyone!

2 out of 3 last night not a bad night when you beat the book.  Got 3 more games tonight:

Memphis on the road at the Hawks-2.5, Atlanta 2nd night of a back to back.  Tough game for them.

Celtics -16 hilome against the Spurs.  They shoukd be up big throughout this whole game. 

Magic -1 at home.  These 2 clubs are even in terms of talent.  Gimme the home team here.

Good luck today everyone!

5 out of 6 for the last 2 nights on a decent run.  Tonight I like a couple games.  I usually bet my knicks but I don't like the 12.5 point spread, knicks lime to play tight games against teams below them.

Denver at home -5 against Philly.  Top 2 mvp candidates duking it out shoukd be fun.

Blazers +9.5 at home against the Pelicans.  I know Dame is shut down but I still like them.

Timberwolves +5 on the road against sac town.  Shoukd be a playoff type game, expecting a tight one here.

Good luck tonight everyone!

To add that devastating fourth straight lost against the Charlotte Hornets, Luka Doncic is now suspended for tomorrow's game versus the Indiana Pacers. But I think they can still make it this time as the Pacers key players are still questionable to play but if they will then that will be a serious challenge for the remaining players of Mavericks because this opposing team is also unpredictable.

[Distinctin]

Clippers vs Pels - I'll go with the Clippers at home here, -4.5 @1.88

Right now, I don't trust the Clippers, so I'll choose to bet on other teams instead, especially the Warriors, who have been impressive at home

The Clippers won't be that competitive and dangerous enough without Kawhi's buddy and main man, and they will be much tested by the opposing teams just like what happened on their last game against the Pelicans. Aside from the fact that the Clippers are incomplete, they too got way lot of errors and there's also Kawhi having a bad night with poor shooting as he was only 25% from shooting on the field. Later on, they will battle against the Bulls who are currently hot from defeating the Lakers recently.

[jakelyson]

Winning a 3-legged parlay is a good way to start the week. I was not actually so sure about my bet, and I also did not watch the game, but I am glad when I checked that I won the parlay. I know Celtics and Cleveland will win but I have a little doubt about the spread. Luckily, I was right. I know for sure the Grizzlies will be able to win the game against the Hawks, so I am not worried about that.

Congrats to those who have a good win today!!!

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my picks for today's game

Indiana Pacers VS Dallas Mavericks

The stake odds for this game are 2.60 for the Pacers and 1.53 for the Mavericks, right now Buddy Hield, and Chris Duarte, can not play for the Pacers, and Tyrese Haliburton, and Myles Turner are both doubtful if they can play for the Pacers, while Maxi Kleber is doubtful if he can play for the Mavericks, for this game because of those injuries and doubtful players my pick is the Dallas Mavericks,

Utah Jazz VS Phoenix Suns

The stake odds for this game are 3.30 for the Jazz and 1.36 for the Suns, Right now Simone Fontecchio, Rudy Gay, Jordan Clarkson, and Collin Sexton can not play for the Jazz, and Lauri Markkanen is doubtful if he can play for the Jazz, while Kevin Durant, still can not play for the Suns and Deandre Ayton is doubtful if he can play for the Suns, for me because of the many injuries of the Jazz, even though Kevin Durant is not playing it is a safe bet for the Suns but Jazz can surely surprise a team sometimes, Kelly Olynyk, Ochai Agbaji, Walker Kessler, and Talen Horton-Tucker are players that can be surprising, so I might try my luck with the Utah Jazz,

Denver Nuggets VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 1.37 for the Nuggets and 3.25 for the 76ers, Right now Jack White, and Collin Gillespie, can not play for the Nuggets, and Michael Porter Jr. is doubtful if he can play for the Nuggets, while Joel Embiid, can not play for the 76ers and James Harden is doubtful if he can play for me I will go with the Denver Nuggets,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Chicago Bulls

The stake odds for this game are 1.54 for the Clippers and 2.55 for the Bulls, right now Marcus Morris, Norman Powell, Brandon Boston Jr., and Paul George can not play for the Clippers and Kawhi Leonard is doubtful if he can play for the Clippers, while Javonte Green, can not play for the Bulls and Alex Caruso is doubtful if he can play for this game, so I think because of the many injuries for the Clippers Paul George and I think Kawhi Leonard has limited time as well in playing in this game or could not play at all, for me I think that the Chicago Bulls can win this,  

[Baofeng]

Congrats to those who won, just 1 win for me though, hehehe. Warriors lost in their homecourt, they could probably win it and covered the spread too, but they made an error, KAT shoots 3 to take the lead and then they fumbled on the last 20 or so seconds as they failed to executed any, that's not the Warriors that we used to see.

Pacers vs Mavs - both are struggling right now, but I will try to go with Indiana, they are the underdogs here, ML @3.10 and probably stake some 5.5 @2.03.
Bucks vs Detroit - time for the Bucks to get back in the win column, -11.5
Suns vs Jazz - Jazz has a lot of players in the injured list, and Suns looking for some winning streak, -6.5 for them.

[danherbias07]

To add that devastating fourth straight lost against the Charlotte Hornets, Luka Doncic is now suspended for tomorrow's game versus the Indiana Pacers. But I think they can still make it this time as the Pacers key players are still questionable to play but if they will then that will be a serious challenge for the remaining players of Mavericks because this opposing team is also unpredictable.

True. It starts in 30 minutes, thankfully I caught up before the game started.
Indiana Pacers - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-6.5) Is Luka Doncic suspended? I saw his name in the player props. I mean, that will help them big time if he will play but even without him, I think the Mavs can somehow win this game. Without surprises of course.  

Detroit Pistons - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-11.5) Giannis out, Holiday out too, but we have seen this team play better even without their stars and won games. Time for Bobby to shine again.

Utah Jazz - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-5.5) - DeAndre Ayton is probable to play. Hmm, that's a good sign, his return might be near. or maybe now, I also saw his name in the props so maybe he will play.

2 great games that I would like to bet on while they are ongoing and would probably not miss to watch it.
Denver Nuggets - Philadelphia 76ers
Sacramento Kings - Minnesota Timberwolves
Nuggets and Kings are the favorites and they are playing at their homes.

Good luck everyone.
@jakelyson, congratulations on your parlay. That's a big one. Nice!

[jakelyson]

Detriot Piston vs Milwaukee Bucks (-11.5)
The Milwaukee Bucks (53-21) will visit the Detriot Pistons (16-58) tonight at Little Caesars Arena. The Milwaukee Bucks have covered the spread in 2 of 3 meetings with the Pistons this season.
Bucks key injuries: Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) probable, Jae Crowder (calf) probable
Pistons Key injuries: Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) out, Alec Burks (foot) out, Hamidou Diallo (ankle) out, Corey Joseph (illness) questionable, Rodney McGruder (foot) questionable

Indiana Pacers vs Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks (36-39) will visit the Indiana Pacers (33-42) tonight at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Mavericks are in a slump right now but they could pull a win against the Indiana Pacers at their home.
Pacers key injuries: Chris Duarte (ankle) out, Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) questionable, Myles Turner (back) questionable

Utah Jazz vs Phoenix Suns (-5.5)
The Phoenix Suns (39-35) will visit the Utah Jazz (35-39) tonight at Vivint Arena. The last 8 wins of the Suns against the Jazz this season is more than 6 points. So, -5.5 is very doable if the Suns win.
Suns key injuries: Deandre Ayton (hip) probable, Kevin Durant (ankle) out
Jazz key injuries: Jordan Clarkson (hand) out, Rudy Gay (back) out, Lauri Markkanen (hand) questionable, Collin Sexton (hamstring) out

[LogitechMouse]

It's been a long time since I bet . Anyway, here are my bets for today's ballgame.

Los Angeles Clippers - Chicago Bulls - Los Angeles Clippers
- With the loss of Clippers on their last game against the Pelicans, I believe that they will get the victory on this one on their home. They also need this win so that they can clinch to 40 wins and get that 4th spot from the Phoenix Suns. If the Bulls will get this win on the road though, they will be tied with the Hawks and the Raptors with 36-38. Still I'd go with the Clippers on this one.

Atlanta Hawks - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers
- With the win of the Cavaliers on their last game, they already clinch the playoffs, and it's the first since they rebuild the team. Anyway, many of the role players of the Cavaliers are questionable and probable including Jarrett Allen, but with how deep their roster is, I believe they can steal one on the road against the Hawks.

Toronto Raptors - Miami Heat - Toronto Raptors
- The Raptors might go to 8th seed if they will win on this one (or not depending on the games of Chicago and Atlanta). As for the Heat, they're already 3 games above the 8th seeded Hawks, and they're currently on the 7th spot. I think that the Raptors will defend their home court, and get the win.

Good Luck to the bettors.
