NBA 2023-2024 betting

Wolves definitely deserved to win that game, they were much better. I would say Sixers do have a bigger chance to win, Nets were high up there because they started the season with Kyrie and Durant, now they have none of that. They are basically a tanking team that found themselves in the playoffs, it should be a sweep if you ask me.

It's still good that players would get playoff experience but the reality is that we shouldn't really see anything change there and Sixers would win that game easily, hopefully at least. Celtics should be easily beating Hawsk, Smart would defend Young good enough, and Tatum/Brown duo should be able to destroy them on both defense and offense as well. No idea about Cavs vs Knicks but Warriors could possibly beat Kings.

Out of the 4 meeting of these two teams this season, the Knicks have won the last 3 games.  Brunson is a good addition to the team and I think they have a chance to upset the Cavaliers on their home in game 1.

Well, it is a very close game and yeah the Addition of Jalen Brunson to the team has elevated them to new heights but this is just the 1st match I will surely not be surprised if the Cleveland Cavaliers make win the next game, and looking at this 1st game for the play-offs it was a close game, and for the playoffs, some teams would likely be a new team entering the playoffs,

The Warriors are bad on the road this year. Even with Wiggins and GP2 playing, I do not think they can win against the Kings on the road in Game 1. I am taking the Kings to win the first game against the Warriors.

Good luck with your bet.

I am a Golden State Warriors fan and I am not worried about this loss because I know they have done their all looking closely it is a close game, Andrew Wiggins is still adjusting from the long rest he has been, I only wish his problem outside of the NBA will not get to him mentally because that will be a great pain for the Warriors, but I think that they will adjust in the next game and looking forward in beating the Sacramento Kings the next game,  


My picks for today's game

Philadelphia 76ers VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 121 - 101 - WIN

Boston Celtics VS Atlanta Hawks SCORE 112 - 99 - WIN

Cleveland Cavaliers VS New York Knicks SCORE 97 - 101 - LOST

Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 126 - 123 - LOST

With only light betting during the week with the playin the playoffs are finally here.  Have to take a stab at all 4. 

1) taking Philly at home -8.5
2) Hawks +9.5. Trey is a different dude in the playoffs between him and Murray they should be able to keep this close.
3) THEEEEE NY Knicks moneyline.  Yep Homer bet but I'm taking it.
4) and too much money coming in on the Warriors.  I'm taking the home team -1 kings.  Think GS takes the series but this will be a tough game.  Going against the grain.

Good luck everyone and enjoy!! Go KNICKS!!!

3 of 4 @wheelz1200! Very nice. I should've tailed you instead on that game. Congratulations to you.
I got 2 of 4 only.

Philadelphia 76ers -10.5 - Win
Boston Celtics -10.5 - Win
Cavs -3.5 - Loss - This is big for those who won the Knicks' Moneyline.
Warriors -3.5 - Loss

I watched only the Warriors game and I even added another bet for them when they are up by 3. I thought they are playing good basketball especially with Wiggins back but the turnovers are hurting them and Fox was on fire with his perimeter shots.

I only bet on the Warriors game and obviously it's the only game that I watch and unfortunately for us, the Warriors lost that game. But definitely the series is still long and all they have to do is steal one game which they almost did. That Wiggins three though, if it just falls in the Warriors could have won this game. For sure they've seen what the Kings can offer so it's Steve Kerr's turn to counter in game 2.

Another interesting match is the Lakers vs Memphis, experience vs youth, LBJ vs Ja Morant. It's going to another series that we are anticipating. We are going to see if Lebron has enough gas tank against the young Grizzlies team. Because for me as the series goes, Lebron and AD's bodies might not have enough time to recover. And I will say that Memphis is very physical, so it's going to be Brooks vs James. But for sure they will throw a lot of body on Lebron in this series.

So with that, I will bet on Memphis -4.5.

[OgNasty]

My picks for today… Nothing surprising…

Los Angeles Lakers over the Memphis Grizzlies
Milwaukee Bucks over the Miami Heat
Phoenix Suns over the Los Angeles Clippers
Denver Nuggets over the Minnesota Timberwolves

The only game here I’m not feeling confident about is the Bucks and Heat. If Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo have big games and manage to contain Giannis, I feel like they could make that a close game. 

[Beparanf]

I think Bucks can handle this and I’m more on hesitant on betting to Lakers than Bucks right now since they will play against Grizzlies on the home which we all know Ja is so good. Lebron has a high chance of choking on game 1 on playoffs with the current roster.

Lakers just manage to do the win streak run because they are facing teams without their core players available. So literally they are just playing against the enemy team bench player and still they have a hard time on some these matches.

Still early on but the Lakers aren't playing too bad.  I'm hesitent to bet either way on any of these games in that series.  In the other games I got

The Suns -7.5
Heat with the points +9.5
And I'm also taking the Timberwolves +8.  KAT and gobert should keep this close and not let jokic take over. 

Enjoy the games everyone and good luck

Phoenix Suns -5.5 vs Los Angeles Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers (5th seed) will take on the Phoenix Suns (4th seed) on the first round of the Playoffs tonight at Footprint Center. With Paul George out in the first round of the Playoffs and the main cast of Suns fully healthy, the Phoenix Suns are heavily favored to win this game. The Clippers have won on the road against the Suns but without PG and Kevin Durant playing, the Suns should be able to control the outcome of the game.
Clippers key injuries: Paul George (knee) out
Suns key injuries: Cameron Payne (back) questionable


Denver Nuggets -5.5 vs Minnesota Timberwolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves (8th seed) will take on the Denver Nuggets (1st seed) on the first round of Playoffs tonight at Ball Arena. The games between these two teams are decided by 10 points or more. With a fully healthy Nuggets team, the Timberwolves have no chance in this game.
Timberwolves key injuries: Rudy Gobert (back) questionable, Jaden McDaniels (hand) out, Jaylen Nowell (knee) questionable

Milwaukee Bucks -7.5 vs Miami Heat
The Miami Heat (8th seed) will take on the Milwaukee Bucks (1st seed) tonight at Fiserv Forum. The Heat are only 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 meetings against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Heat key injuries: Nikola Jovic (back) out, Kyle Lowry (knee) questionable, Gabe Vincent (hip) questionable

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my late picks for today's game

Milwaukee Bucks VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 1.22 for the Bucks and 4.50 for the Heat, Right now the Bucks don't have any injuries while Nikola Jovic can not play for the Heat, which is why my pick will be the Milwaukee Bucks, but betting for Giannis Antetoukoumpo to Score plus 30 points

Phoenix Suns VS Los Angeles Clippers

The stake odds for this game are 1.32 for the Suns and 3.55 for the Clippers, right now Cameron Payne is doubtful if he can play for the Suns, while Paul George can not play for the Clippers because Paul George is a crucial member of the team my pick will be the Phoenix Suns betting on Kevin Durant making 30 plus points,

Denver Nuggets VS Minnesota Timberwolves

The stake odds for this game are 1.29 for the Nuggets and 3.80 for the Timberwolves, Right now there are no further injuries for the Nuggets while Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid can not play for the Nuggets, Jaylen Nowell, and Rudy Gobert is doubtful if they can play because of the injuries and doubtful my pick is the Denver Nuggets,

[danherbias07]

4 games today but I only have 3 bets on the line. I forgot to put my early bets so I missed the Grizzlies game against the Lakers. Anyway, the Lakers won that game. Another upset.

Milwaukee Bucks - Miami Heat - Milwaukee Bucks (-4.5) I caught this just right now while the Miami Heat is in the lead at the end of 1st quarter.
Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Clippers - Phoenix Suns (-5.5)
Denver Nuggets - Minnesota Timberwolves - Denver Nuggets (-6.5)

Let's see if there will be another upset that will happen. I hope not because I am looking forward to having a perfect winning night.
Good luck to all of us.

Caught the Miami game with points wish I took the ML but is what it is.  Suns right now down 3 and staring down a game 1 loss.  My saving grace will need to be the Timberwolves.  I'm feeling another upset and really thinking about taking the money line on that game.   I haven't looked but the umders seemed to be have hitting more as well.  Anyone have stats on on the over/under so far?

[vennali]

-snip-

Unlucky on that mate. First, Ja doesn't have much impact in game. Then, Giannis gets injured and leaves the game and for the 3rd game, Kawahi just wreaks havoc and keeps KD in check. Nuggets game ongoing but anyways, the parlay is dead. Gl next set of games.

Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Clippers - Phoenix Suns (-5.5)
Denver Nuggets - Minnesota Timberwolves - Denver Nuggets (-6.5)

It's a night of the underdogs, not just Grizzlies were the favorites to lose their game 1, Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Miami Heat by 13 points, although Bucks kept it really close to an extent despite losing their best player very early into game.

Los Angeles Clippers also defeated Phoenix Suns too, that's about the biggest upset for the night and Russell westbrook was having an extremely awful with scoring, although he was very vital for the Clippers down the stretch to get win with several pick out passes and offensive board, coupled with few steals and block, those really count for something significant too, but we all saw a vintage playoffs Kawhi Leonard today, he did drop a monster performance, this series should really interesting until the very end.


I'll be passing on Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets game, I've actually seen enough playoff games for today, so I'll just go again tomorrow.

It seems that most of us here didn't had a good day betting and most of the parlays that we thought are somehow sure didn't go through and was destroyed because of the unexpected twists and injuries that became a reason why the home team have been defeated.

Out of the 4 games that we had, only the Denver Nuggets who have successfully defended their home and buried the Wolves alive with a huge gap of 29 points.

In the Lakers vs Grizzlies, people suspected that Anthony Davis bought an early vacation ticket after he can't moved his arm which made him go to the locker room but fortunately, he came back even stronger and then an unfortunate thing happened again in the 4th quarter where Ja Morant had a bad fall against AD and hurt his right hand which was already injured.

[Baofeng]

^^ Right, Lakers beat the Memphis. I thought that Davis might not come back in this game because of his shoulder. But he did, and on the other it was Morant who got injured himself when he try to go hard on the rim and Davis met him on top. And after that, it was all Lakers, Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura came in clutch and then Lebron shooting outside with 3's. It was a good win for the Lakers and it's too bad that I lost my bet on Memphis.

I wasn't able to watch the other games, but I see the Westbrook put that defensive gem against Booker to give the Clippers their first win in their playoff against the Phoenix Suns. The Heat too upset the top seed Bucks in their own series as Giannis wasn't able to play with a back contusion. The good news is that his X-ray comes back clean. So most likely he will be back in game 2.

Clippers owner Steve Ballmer is very happy watching his Clippers team winning against the Suns on the road.

As for Westbrook, if only he didn't did that 2 clutch free throws, and that defensive stop, he must be on the hot seat right now because of how bad he shot on that game. Kawhi played really well, and it's expected coming from him, but if the Clippers needed to win the series, and upset the team who has projected to be the top title contenders, they need Westbrook to step up at least in the offense, and at the same time, they need role players to step up as well. I mean they played well, but if they want to be a title contender, it need to be better.

As for the Heat-Bucks, it's an upset, and I thought that the Bucks will sweep them because of how good they are, but that game just shows that not having Giannis have a huge impact for the team. I just hope that he will be back on their next game because they badly needed him.

I put my bets on the Bucks, and the Suns because I thought that they will make a come back after trailing by double-digits, but it didn't happen, and I lost both of my bets. Well, at least I'm happy watching playoff games right now, and so are the others here.

[Yaunfitda]

I think majority of us lay down on the Bucks winning against the Heat on game 1, in the regular season, even without Giannis, they found a way to win. But this is playoff series so it's going to be very different, I expect more from Holiday though, but he was really guarded very well in this game.

And the Clippers on cloud 9 after winning game 1 and Westbrook taking the highlight with his good defense on Booker.

So for sure many bettors (including myself), lost on this 2 games.

Losing is part of gambling as well as injuries are part of sports. It is the Clippers vs Suns that got me really riled up since the Suns are heavily favored to win this game since PG cannot play for the Clippers. But the Clippers proved they can win against the Suns even without PG and they can control Kevin Durant.

The real hero of the game is both Reaves and Hachimura. They performed like they are the stars of the team. Though Davis and Lebron have good performance, the breakout of Reaves in the fourth quarter put a big lead against the Grizzlies that sealed the game for the Lakers.

They cannot find their offense without Giannis sucking all the defenders like a black hole. Not just Holiday, I am expecting more from Khris Middleton although he made 33 points. Maybe he can step it up one more notch for them to win the game.
Anyway, I think Giannis' injury is not that bad for he still walked normally after the fall. I wish he can play in the next game before they hit the road.

The Suns had a bad shooting start and it affected the result of the game. The defense was there and Booker was doing hustle D's. Checking the stats I didn't realize they made 9 blocks against 4 of the Clippers and 8 steals while 6 for the Clippers. The Phoenix Suns did fine but they must start hot on the offensive end especially KD and Booker. They will probably adjust next game and see to it that the defense will remain but their offense will be better.

1/3 for me.
I only won the Nuggets spread today.

This is the price that Ja pay for dunking in the face of 6’10 footer. He should stop doing that no matter how high he can jump since his body is very weak to absorb the fall impact. I stop watching the game after the dunk because I already knew that Lakers is already in control of the game. What an upset but I’m sure that many bet on Lakers in this match.

There’s a lot of upset game on this game too. I think many parlay got broken with the Bucks and Suns loss today because they are the team that seems have a high chance of winning base on stats and roster.
