NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Hypnosis00]

I'm going completely against the grain tonight.  Taking all the toad dogs.

Atlanta +13 lol.  Why not.

Clippers -12.5. Russ masterclass incoming lol.

Timberwolves ML.  Seriously...

This might completely blow up in my face but have we ever had a 3 game playoff night with all the games being 20 point blowouts?  Against the wall someone has to show up right?  Right?.  Will probably regret this but hey how maybe not

Enjoy the games people!

Good luck, man! You already have one win with Atlanta +13. You should have gone with the moneyline.

Regarding the Wolves, they have a decent chance since they are currently leading the game. It looks like the Nuggets are struggling to close this game, but let's see; the game is not over yet.

As for the Clippers -12.5, that's too ambitious. What are the betting odds for that one?

It was actually plus +12.5 spread last night.

Tonight got my picks in.

Laying hard on the Knicks +5.5
Taking the heat +12.  Think it's a trap bet but gotta ride the hot ticket.
Laying hard on Memphis -4.  Home cooking.
And taking golden state ML.  Was tough to bet on them but fox with a fractured figer on his shooting hand is going to be tough to overcome.

Enjoy the Knicks.  Knicks in 5! Knicks in 5! Knicks in 5! 😀

I love your picks, especially the Memphis -4 as we could really see some home cooking here. The issue in the playoffs is more on ref blaming as if they are favoring the home team, so yeah, why not ride on that as well. Memphis games are always fun to watch due to the swagger of the team, not only Ja Morant, so this might only be their last win in the series before the LA Lakers eliminate them on their home court.

Additionally, I'll also tail on the Warriors. They are a bad team on the road, but I'll skip that for this particular game.

I missed the games today I fell asleep last night, but here are my picks for tomorrow's game,

Cleveland Cavaliers VS New York Knicks

The stake odds for this game are 1.46 for the Cavaliers and 2.85 for the Knicks, Right now Dylan Windler can not play for the Cavaliers while Jericho Sims can not play for the Knicks and Quentin Grimes is questionable if he's able to play, Right now the New York Knicks is leading this game with 3-1 1 more win and they will going to the finals, for me, I will take my chances and Knicks really got a tempting odds right now so my pick is the New York Knicks,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Los Angeles Lakers

The stake odds for this game are 1.58 for the Grizzlies and 2.46 for the Lakers, Jake LaRavia, and Steven Adams, can not play for the Grizzlies, while LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Dennis Schroder are all questionable if they can play the game, but just like in their previous games I think that they will still be going to play despite I think that the Lakers is winning this,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 1.15 for the Bucks and 5.80 for the Heat, Right now Giannis Antetokounmpo is questionable if he's going to play, while  Tyler Herro can not play for the Heat, and Bam Adebayo is questionable if he's going to play, but for the game, the Milwaukee Bucks will need a win, so for this game, I doubt that the Bucks will let the Heat win this that easily I think that the Bucks will regain a win again and because of it my pick is the Bucks,

Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 2.10 for the Kings and 1.77 for the Warriors, Right now Matthew Dellavedova can not play for the Kings, and De'Aaron Fox has finger injuries but is doubtful if he's going to play for the Kings while Andre Iguodala can not play for the Warriors, for this game he Warriors will be needing this away match to be a winning game for them I really think the momentum has already shifted to the Warriors that is why my pick for this game is the Golden State Warriors,

[morvillz7z]

∆ D. Mitchell 25+ PA / J. Allen 15+ PR / J. Brunson 1+ steal @1.80 ∆  X

If the Cavs want to force game 6, they'll need Donavan Mitchell to step up big. 5-18 simply ain't going to cut it. Mitchell has covered the line in 3/L4, including both games in Cleveland. They just need his production tonight, badly.

Mobley often ends up guarding Randle 1-1 in the high post area with Allen taking care of Robinson under the basket, the Cavs have to do anything to limit Knicks' orebounding. Allen has cleared the line 3 out of the first 4 games.

Cavs are averaging close to 16 turnovers per game in the series so far, and Brunson has recorded at least one steal in each game. Since this is an elimination game for CLE, there could be some nervy moments early on...or late (if the game is tight), and besides the Cavs do not have the most free-flowing offense, i could see plenty of TOs again.

[danherbias07]

4 games people!  

1st bet:
Cleveland Cavaliers - New York Knicks‍ - Cleveland Cavaliers (-5.5) A must-win for the Cavaliers. I am expecting they will put everything here. This game will probably be so hot and will become a physical game. I am rooting for the Cavs to prolong this series.

Memphis Grizzlies - Los Angeles Lakers‍ - Memphis Grizzlies (-2.5) This will be the first time I am betting for the Grizzlies. I want to see them win and just like the game above, take this series to game 6 or 7 for more entertaining battles. Ja Morant will still play despite the hand injury, I don't think he will be resting that hand until this playoffs is over.

Milwaukee Bucks - Miami Heat‍ - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5) - What Butler did in Game 4 was super amazing but I doubt the Bucks will let it happen again. I expect a harder defense against him, maybe put Portis for height advantage or one of their leading defenders and make sure he won't get an easy score.

Sacramento Kings - Golden State Warriors‍ - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) Bring the momentum. That's the key for the Warriors to steal this one game in Sacramento. They started badly but when they got back home something changed. The Kings will probably try to get their confidence back from their fans but they are up against the former champions, they are used to that type of change in environment.

Good luck everyone.

[boltz]

I will go with the follows :

Cavs -6.5 @2.07 all or nothing for Cavs so they must go big

Grizzlies -3.5 as I do think they can provide a much better defense tonight

Bucks -10.5 but I'm skeptical that Heat will come strong tonight after last epic performance.

[jakelyson]

It opened at -8.5, but now it has moved to -9.5.

I think this will be a blowout win by the Nuggets. They can't miss the opportunity to close the series, and obviously, they were the better team here. The Nuggets have covered the spread in Game 1 and Game 2, which means they played better at home. It will be hard for the Timberwolves to come back since the pressure on them is very high. Even if the line moves to -10, I still find it attractive.

It was a win for the Denver Nuggets, the Timberwolves have done their all to make a lead but to no avail, the Nuggets were really so tight it was the 1st quarter lead that the Nuggets have given the Timberwolves and they didn't make it last that the Nuggets have gotten their hand to it at the end of the 1st half,


My Bets for today's games.

Memphis Grizzlies VS Los Angeles Lakers

The Memphis Grizzlies will face the Los Angeles Lakers for game 5 at the FedExForum, Key injuries for the Grizzlies, Steven Adams (knee) out and Jake LaRavia (calf) is out, while Key Injuries for the Lakers, Dennis Schroder (Achilles) Questionable, Anthony Davis (foot) Questionable, and LeBron James (foot) Questionable, for this game, I think most of those questions will still play but they are playing in the home court of the Grizzlies so my pick is the Memphis Grizzlies,

Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors

The Sacramento Kings will face the Golden State Warriors for Game 5 at the Golden 1 Center, Key injuries for the Kings, Matthew Dellavedova (finger) is out and De'Aaron Fox (finger) is Questionable, while Andre Iguodala (wrist) is out, for me, we all know the history of the Warriors not winning away so for me this is kind of concluded that my pick for this game is the Sacramento Kings,

[yahoo62278]

Took a little bit of risk tonight. Hoping Miami can lose but cover the points. Feeling pretty good about the Warriors game if I make it to that leg of the parlay still alive. Good luck to everyone in tonights games.

[Hypnosis00]

Congratulations, @yahoo62278!

That's a nice parlay win. It would have been bigger if you took the Miami Heat moneyline, but it's still a decent win. You know, we don't win parlays all the time, so winning one is already a huge success.

That's the kind of parlay where I would say you played it safe. Congratulations again!

Congratulations yahoo62278! Perfection! How I wish I saw your pick earlier and I could've tailed it. $433! Sweet!

2/4 for me.
Grizzlies and Warriors are my only wins but I lost my Bucks and Cavs bet.
A really surprising ending tonight and we already have a pair for the 2nd round in the Eastern Conference. New York Knicks and Miami Heat will meet.
I bet those teams who played in the play-in tournament are a little bit shocked and somehow boosted, the Heat gave them a reason to pursue winning every game even though they will be in the mini-tourney. Remember, the Heat needed to play twice before they claim the 8th seed.

Also, the Warriors are suddenly in the lead. Just as I predicted, they can be scary when they start a momentum. Mike Brown should've known that.

[Vaculin]

Congratulations, @yahoo62278!

That's a nice parlay win. It would have been bigger if you took the Miami Heat moneyline, but it's still a decent win. You know, we don't win parlays all the time, so winning one is already a huge success.

It's indeed a good day for @yahoo62278 Congrats again mate.

Meanwhile my bet for Bucks failed because the Miami Heat was just too hot mainly Butler and even if Giannis and Middleton scored impressively, it wasn't enough to keep the team afloat and force themselves a way for a Game 6 as the Heat eliminated them and did a history for being the first play-in team to play in the 2nd rounds of the playoffs.

It's also worth noting that aside from Jimmy Butler, they also got Bam Adebayo who did a good job as he got a triple double.

4 for 4 I only wish I took the heat money line dam HIMmy Butler is playoff good.  The way that series was played I think I'd rather see the Bucks against my knicks but here we go!  Hitting the under on every one of these games hard.  This is going to be a drag out 80s/90s type of basketball games in this series.  Hope it goes the distance. 

Yahoo nice hit on your parlay.

Bettors would not settle for the money line and that includes you and me because even if it was too tempting to bet with because this is a do or die game for the Bucks. So, it is more safe to wager for the handicap but same as you, I truly wish I spared some for the money line as that is surely a flowing honey if I did.
Anyway, 2nd round is almost around the corner and the Heat vs Knicks will surely be a good sight to see. A vintage basketball indeed in the making.

Results on my picks for Yesterday's game

Cleveland Cavaliers VS New York Knicks (NYK WINS 4-1) SCORE 95 - 106 - WIN

An unbelievable win for the New York Knicks no one had ever seen that coming but from start to finish the Knicks is an advantage in this game it is pretty much inevitable that the Cleveland Cavaliers doesn't have the chance to get back up because the Knicks have already exposed the Cavaliers, Immanuel Quickley with 19 points, RJ Barrett with 21 points and Jalen Brunson with 23 points,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Los Angeles Lakers (LAL LEADS 3-2) SCORE 116 - 99 - LOST

It seems that the Los Angeles Lakers injuries list was already getting in the way of the Lakers, which is why the Memphis Grizzlies are having an easy time making their points Jaren Jackson Jr. has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 18 points, Ja Morant has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 31 points and Desmond Bane has a double-double aswell of 10 rebounds and 33 points,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Miami Heat (MIA WINS 4-1) SCORE 126 - 128 - LOST

Milwaukee Bucks isn't down and will not proceed in the Finals, it was an incredible performance for Jimmy Butler even though Giannis Antetokounmpo played this game Jimmy Butler is a powerhouse play-off playing guy that has experience performing in play-offs, and it surely paid off, Bam Adebayo has a triple-double of 10 rebounds 10 assist and 20 points Gabe Vincent got 22 points and Jimmy Butler got 42 points,

Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors (GSW LEADS 3-2) SCORE 116 - 123 - WIN

The Sacrament o doesn't know who and what hit them it was a solid play for the Golden State Warriors they surely win this game, it was an awesome clutch play for the Warriors, Draymond Green got 21 points, Klay Thompson got a solid 25 points and Stephen Curry has 31 points winning the game,

[Harkorede]

Took a little bit of risk tonight. Hoping Miami can lose but cover the points. Feeling pretty good about the Warriors game if I make it to that leg of the parlay still alive. Good luck to everyone in tonights games.

Congratulations, that's some risk, because Memphis Grizzlies were on the brink of the choking of their big lead yet again, but I guess being at home gave them the liberty find the momentum yet again, close out in a great a fashion, now all I want is for this series to extend to game 7, it's gone be such an event to no miss.

[Kelvinid]

Celtics vs Hawks.

The line opened at +5.5 for the home team and is now at +7.5. Probably a lot of money is going to the Celtics, thinking the series will end tonight. Well, let's see about that, as it could be another scenario like the Miami Heat vs Bucks game.

The edge is all on the Hawks here. They have momentum from the big win on the road, and Murray is back after his Game 1 suspension. So, I don't see any reason why not to take the Hawks moneyline.

Just for fun, I would also take the Atlanta Hawks. But obviously, the Celtics are the better team here, despite what we saw in their previous game. Of the last 5 games, it was the Celtics who were dictating the pace. Or, the last game was very special for the Hawks because Trae Young got lucky with his last shot that sank in. But, I don't think it will happen again if we use the law of averages.

So there's a big reason why the line has moved up.

But, maybe +7.5 is a safe play for the Hawks, so they don't easily give up, even if they are already in a big deficit.

[jakelyson]

A great game indeed and it seems that I have lost the Sacramento Kings bet to the Golden State Warriors, and  win the Memphis Grizzlies bet to the Los Angeles Lakers, and I think it is time to move on, I will just be making 1 bet for today's game,

Atlanta Hawks VS Boston Celtics

The Atlanta Hawks will face the Boston Celtics in game 6 at the State Farm Arena, there are no key injuries for the Atlanta Hawks at the moment while key injuries for the Boston Celtics is Danilo Gallinari (knee) is out and can not play right now it is 3 - 2 and the Boston Celtics lead the game 1 more win for the Boston Celtics and they will move forward to the finals while the Atlanta Hawks will need to tie this game series, moving forward, for this game my pick is the Boston Celtics,

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my picks for today's game we only got 1 game for today,

Atlanta Hawks VS Boston Celtics

The stake odds for this game are 3.35 for the Hawks and 1.35 for the Celtics, Right now there are no injuries for the Hawks while Danilo Gallinari  has a knee injury and may return on April 29, for this game the Boston Celtics is on the lead with 3 points while the Hawks is down with 2, the Celtics will need just 1 more game win and they will proceed to the finals while the Hawks will need to tie this game, but for me, the Boston Celtics is OK with playing at home of the other teams so there are no problem with them moving forward, that is why my pick is the Boston Celtics in this game,

[danherbias07]

So there's a big reason why the line has moved up.

But, maybe +7.5 is a safe play for the Hawks, so they don't easily give up, even if they are already in a big deficit.

Or that is the real shot that Trae Young loved. IMO, it's not a lucky shot, that's his spot. 
+7.5 Hawks should be cool for a safe bet. But as you said in the first sentence, the Celtics are the better team here. They must've forgotten that Trae can make those types of almost half-court shots and gave him a lot of room to take it which is a big mistake.
I like to cut just a little bit for the Boston Celtics so I am taking the -5.5 only @1.71. That should be enough just in case the Hawks will play a close game trying to force a Game 7.
Over 229.5 seems to be reachable too so I will add it to my singles. Also, Jayson Tatum 44.5 PRA. I'd like to see him get hot behind the arc because his last games had been below average.
Good luck everyone.

[OgNasty]

Boston won and sent the Hawks home for the year. That leaves the Celtics matching up with the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round of the playoffs. That sort of feels like the eastern conference finals to me as I don’t think the Knicks or Heat are going to be able to beat whoever wins between the Celtics and 76ers.
