NBA 2023-2024 betting

But against the Miami Heat, I am in doubt.

Miami had problems too; remember their loss to the Atlanta Hawks, where they got outrebounded big time? I think the Bulls have a chance to beat the Heat too. I mean, they may have some issues, but this is a very important game. Beating the Raptors was already enough to prove that they can work their asses off together and be in the playoffs.

I think Miami is just overrated because they are a team that is consistent in the playoffs. So, we haven't seen their struggles this season.

Yes, what more against the Bulls because if they lost against he Hawks then it's somehow safe to say that they will get their butts beaten against the raging Bulls.

Plus, I think the Heat this season is not that reliable that is why they are seated on the 8th seed and probably will not be consistent in a series game anymore unlike in the past years where they consecutively participate the playoffs without playing in the play-in. Jimmy Butler is not the same Jimmy anymore because even him as the star player is already vulnerable enough.

I had OKC to win the game and qualify and they have huge young talents to win the game but I went to sleep on 3rd quarter on Bulls game thinking that they have no chance to comeback and when I woke up today and I saw that they indeed made a comeback ...I was shocked and happy on the same time and I had to search for highlights of 4th quarter because that is where the magic happened.

You mean Pelicans? Because the Bulls faced the Raptors and won their separate match in the Eastern Conference. Most probably you just woke up when you wrote this quote

Anyway, the Thunders will be facing the Wolves tomorrow at the latter's homecourt and the winner will face the Denver Nuggets in the first round. Personally, I think I will favor the young Thunders against the Wolves who are in a middle of something right now and it's good for us bettors because the Thunders are listed as the underdogs with a present spread of +5.5

For the Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls match-up, current spread is -/+5.5 where the Heat is listed as the favorite.

Shai will have to have another game like he did against the Pelicans.  Timberwolves will be no.pushover.  I don't know which way I'm leaning but I think the wolves should be able to win.  They had their worst 4th quarter of the entire season last game, edwards probably his worst game and KAT in foul trouble.  I can't see that happening again.  And they are at home.

[ChiBitCTy]

Put about $100 worth of bitcoin on the Bulls last night at +5.5 .  I thought I was doomed in the third quarter.  I am pleasantly standing corrected about Zach and Demar last night.  Lavine was absolutely incredible.  It's so frustrating when a guy of his talent level and skill COULD be a mega-star, I mean he's got the skills to be that, and he was that last night..but he just can't seem to do it consistently.  Frustrating.

Looking forward to betting this Bulls game tomorrow vs Miami.

What's your prediction bro? I am still having a hard time figuring out who will win this matchup. The Miami Heat had not been living up to my expectation and I lost my bet against the Hawks last time. The Chicago Bulls on the other hand start so slow, they need to heat up before we could see how good of a team they are.

We had the same thought in the 3rd quarter. I was ready to give up my bet and just recover it on the next game but surprise, surprise, Zach LaVine fired it up and didn't give up easily.
About the consistency of Zach, I think DeMar is talking to him the whole time and I am assuming one of those discussions is for Zach to step up his game. "Take the ball, do your usual thing." Something like that.
In their next game against the Heat, I want to see DeMar this time doing his usual thing. The scary perimeter shots because most of them missed when they needed it against the Raptors. Good defenders like Butler will try to stop him but it's also a chance to prove how sinister those perimeter shots are.

Lavine played an amazing match and he brought the bulls back from that huge lead that the Raptors had. But the reason why the Raptors were knocked out is because of those 16 missed free throws. They had 51% free throw rate and that is just terrible. The funny thing is that Demar Derozans daugther screamed everytime they had free throws and it was anoying and it worked in the end so that they had missed so many free throws.

I didn't know that it was her daughter, but they flashed that young lady on the screen. That's the breaks of the game, though. The Raptors aren't that bad in the regular season at the free-throw line, but because of the pressure of the game, they might panic and become afraid of losing. Imagine, they were in control of the game, and then suddenly the Bulls surged back. The pressure must have been high.

It's obvious that the pressure is high as this is the play-in already. It's either they have to play focus or choke, and the latter happen to the Raptors. So we should give credit to the Bulls for pulling one of the upsets in this play-in.

Same with the Thunder, they are a young team, but SGA took the pressure in his shoulder, even making 2 free throws down the stretch.

So never underestimate them when betting.

Of course, I see how OKC did in that game, and I'm not surprised because the same roster was already killing it in the regular season, even though they are not really in a safe standing. They are young, but they are up for a big challenge, and that is to prove to NBA fans that they should not be underestimated.

So going to Minnesota, I guess the same story would happen. As long as they play together, there's a decent chance that they'll advance.

I have the Bulls and OKC in the final game of the play-in tournament.

That's a significant amount of money. If you choose to bet on the moneyline, you could win even more in that particular game. I believe that the Bulls are on a mission to make it to the playoffs. Their ability to come back from a large deficit, which the Heat were unable to do against the Hawks, is evidence of their determination. Therefore, I think we should go with the Bulls here as they are more likely to secure a spot in the playoffs.

[btc_angela]

I think Miami is just overrated because they are a team that is consistent in the playoffs. So, we haven't seen their struggles this season.

I hope they won't be too tired because they need to travel after the game, and the Heat are just fresh at home, practicing how to beat the Bulls.

If we trust the Bulls here, might as well another moneyline bet.

It did take a lot from the Bulls to win at the road, very hostile environment but they seems to be focus that night. Miami is playing again in their homecourt and if they lost this one, obviously it's time for them to rebuild. They haven't got close to the success when they went to finals in the bubble against the Lakers.

But if we look at the numbers, if I'm not mistaken, the Bulls has swept the Heat.

So that alone is a big factor in this game. So I will go with the Bulls +5.5 this early.

They need to rebuild, probably trade away stars like Jimmy because he hasn't been as good as he was before this season in terms of impact to the team. Bulls +5.5 should be a good value since they are coming off a huge win. However, the main concern here is, can they bring the same energy they showed in Toronto?

Thanks, yeah, I'm thinking that +5.5 will be a good bet as the Bulls should carry their momentum against the Heat.

And we all know that the Heat is somewhat in bad shape mentally, and when teams have this kind of problems, their games suffered just like what happen in their last game. The line hasn't move that much, +5.5 is still 1.90 in my favorite sports bookies. They have at least 1 day rest so perhaps the energy will be there will team with they travel to South Beach.

Seems like everyone is betting on the Bulls, but I hope it's not a bad decision and that the Heat don't dominate tomorrow's game. Personally, I still trust the Bulls as they have proven they can win on the road, so let's be confident they'll have another win.

As for the total, is it too low? It's currently only 208.5. With good 3-point shooting, I think that can be achieved.

That I will take. Actually, I am going greedy mode adding one more point. Miami Heat - Chicago Bulls Total (Incl. Overtime) Over 209.5

I am kind of in the middle on this one. I want to trust the Bulls but the Heat can do some forcing here. I will just take the possible safest route.
Miami Heat - Chicago Bulls - Chicago Bulls (7.5) Joining the bandwagon for the Bulls but with a handicap. Just to be sure in case this ends in a close game which I think will probably happen.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (5.5) This is a broken Timberwolves. Rudy Gobert questionable and also Karl Anthony Towns (but I do see both players in the props so they might play). Josh Giddey will probably have a monster game here again. A triple-double? Maybe?

Scary bets. Both for the away team. But who knows, they did it against the number 9, maybe they can repeat it against the number 8.
Good luck everyone.

I don’t know about this one… I think the Heat have a real advantage over the Bulls when it comes to Bam Adebayo. I don’t think the Bulls can match up with him and I think it will be a problem. Not to mention that experience is on Miami’s side. I would actually bet Miami to win this game, but I haven’t followed their team drama so maybe I’m out of the loop.

+5.5 is decent knowing that Bulls are also a contender if all their stars and role players will play together and repeat that winning
momentum from Toronto, the chance to win will take place.

I also like that handicap as I notice that Heat is not playing in the same rhythm, something is not working with the chemistries around players.

Well, good luck if you already place a bet. Let see if how both teams will perform tomorrow.

[Kasabus]

Same with the Thunder, they are a young team, but SGA took the pressure in his shoulder, even making 2 free throws down the stretch.

So never underestimate them when betting.

Yes, credits for SGA for taking over that game and left the Pelicans in a speechless state because they got defeated by a young team that is supposed to be tanking this season as well,, but they upset the high caliber players of Pelicans and eliminated them from the play-in tournament.
If I'm not mistaken, they were listed as the underdogs on that game, but I chose to sit on it because I don't know whom to bet as I know it will be a tight game.

Later on, they will face the Timberwolves and the Thunders is again listed as underdogs. This will be interesting to watch and in the East side, it's the Bulls vs Heat.

Can't blame them because the Chicago Bulls are indeed a safer bet instead of the Miami Heat because they aren't that reliable anymore and given that they are on the 8th seed means that they aren't that kind of team anymore who used to dominate the East and probably most of the teams in the league. Jimmy Butler isn't the usual Jimmy and that's evident enough to see because he's really struggling to carry the team and the rest of the squad is not that lethal anymore.

Yes, not just Jimmy, but Bam Adebayo as well, just seems to be reluctant to shoot the ball and content to just give a screen. As for Jimmy though, he has some games that he mentally takes over, but not against the Hawks.

Maybe he thinks that Lowry and Hero is going to take over after they make a great comeback in the 4th. But that's his usual time to be the one to lead the team, unfortunately, it was just a so-so performance for him. So yeah, riding also on the bandwagon for the Bulls to win against them.

[morvillz7z]

∆ T. Herro 20+ PR / J. Butler 5+ assists / N. Vucevic 20+ PRA @1.89 ∆   X

Herro led Miami in FG attempts against the Hawks with 23. He's had 20+ PR in 9/L10 games (excluding their last regular-season game). As things stand, he and Butler have been their most consistent scorers over the last month or so, averaging 20 and 5 in that span.

Since it's an elimination game i fully expect Butler to get heavy minutes again, could be 40+ if the game is close to the end. 9 assists against the Hawks, can't see he won't get at least 5 tonight as he is on the ball a lot. He's cleared the line in 7/L7.

Vucevic should routinely get over this line, he's done it in 7/L7 (excluding their last game of the regular season), covered in all three reg season games against the Heat this season. Bulls starters could see close to 40 mins as well.

[wheelz1200]

Finally more games

Tonight I got the bulls in the money line here.  I just think the MOJO they got by winning in Toronto will carry over.  They will have to shoot better from the 3 but I like theor odds.

Then give me the wolves in this one.  Okc is the trendy pick but the wolves had so many things go wrong and they still almost beat the Lakers.  Taking the wolves and the spread.

Enjoy the games everyone tonight and good luck!
