NBA 2023-2024 betting

Welp here we go 2 win or go home series and both home teams against the wall.  I'm going down with the ship with both of them. 

Taking the knicls -3.5 at home
Taking the reining Champs golden state warriors but taking the money line on that one.

Enjoy the games and good luck.

Go knicks!!

Congratulations, the Knicks won the game and covered the -3.5 spread. They didn't miss a lot of shots, with Brunson, Barrett, and Randle having a great game. This victory extended the series. The Knicks' huge advantage in this game was their rebounding and their free throw attempts. The Knicks had 38 attempts while the Heat only had 19 attempts.

Yeah it was a big game for the Knicks.  The free throws is a bit skewd because miami started intentionally fouling Mitchell Robinson everytime down the court cause he usually sucls at free throws.  Either way 2 for 2 last night!  I wasn't sure about either one as they were both playing terribly through the series but home cooking worked out.  Figure both series couldn't get closed out last night right?!

2/3.
I didn't expect that win from the New York Knicks but they have to sacrifice playing Jalen Brunson and Quentin Grimes at full length without any rest, 48 minutes. I bet Brunson's body is all bruised after that game.  But I wish he will be okay for Game 6, the Knicks will have a hard time winning without him.

Hopefully that is the case because they badly needed all the help they can get as just one single injury in the roster right now will definitely put them in a very dangerous situation because the undermanned Miami Heat can still put a mark towards them and eliminate them in any given game especially now that the Heat just needed one win to close the series.

Golden State Warriors did not let us down and I think most of us did bet for them so congratulations to the winners.
Draymond Green made a spark in the first quarter by being aggressive on the offensive end and Andrew Wiggins joined him with 16 points in the first half. This is the kind of Warriors that I want to see, do not put all the weight on Steph's shoulders, they must work too. I think Looney is also feeling better with 20 minutes of ball time.

Quite loving what I saw in Game 5 where the Warriors are definitely displaying their offensive prowess except for KT because I do think he's having a hard time keeping up with the team's phase but overall, the Warriors did good in defeating the visiting Lakers. Hopefully they can mimic their performance by putting some pressures towards the Lakers next game.

Golden State Warriors(-225) VS Los Angeles Lakers(+180) - WIN

In game 5 the Warriors won this game and right now the Lakers are still in the lead with 3 - 2 aswell, well like I have said if Game 6 the Warriors win this game 7 will likely become a Stephen Curry showcase of performance just like in the Sacramento Kings game, if the Los Angeles manage to win this over the Warriors then Lakers will advance to the next match up then likely almost half of the Warriors rosters will be traded for some players that may be a benefit to Stephen Curry's performance,

The Warriors really need to improve their performance on the road; if they continue to play the same way, they won't be able to win game 6, and the series will be over. Klay Thompson's shots have not been working for the past three games, so if the Warriors can find a way to activate 'Game 6 Klay,' there's a higher likelihood that we will see a game 7.

The Lakers are only favored by -2.5 points in the next game, so if it's a close game, the Warriors +2.5 will likely be the winning bet.

Unfortunately, looking at the past two road games, the Warriors have not covered the spread yet, making it difficult to decide at this moment. The best thing to do is to follow your instincts and have fun.

But for sure Warriors fans will take that handicap or maybe taking the ML,

Warriors still have that shot to force this series into a do-or-die game, with their experienced its
still doable for them to work together and try winning this game in LA and go back home then snatch
conference's final appearance.

With Green and Wiggins activated their winning attitude, then add the splash bros, game 6 will be
another test for both teams as Lakers for sure will do everything to take this in front of their home fans.

I think it's all gonna hinge on whether or not Anthony Davis can play.  If he can't Warriors got a good shot if so they will need to pull out all the tricks.  Warriors stink on the road and lebron in from of his home fans is probably gonna put one up for the ages.  Either way excited to see the game.

Well, the referees right now are playing more nicely and they indeed give an equal amount of free throws for both teams, right now if the referees will not become douce bags again in the next game this is likely going to end in game 7, or maybe they let this happen so people would not see that the game is really getting Rigged I really don't want to say something like that but it is likely what is happening right now,


Now my picks for today's game,

Philadelphia 76rs VS Boston Celtics

The stake odds for this game are 2.18 for the 76ers and 1.72 for the Celtics, Right now Joel Embiid is questionable if he can play for the 76ers while Danilo Gallinari can not play for the Celtics right now the 76ers are in the lead with 3 - 2 but I really think that the Boston Celtics will not let the 76ers to end this in game 6 so they would have to win this in whatever they can so my pick is the Boston Celtics,

Phoenix Suns VS Denver Nuggets

The stake odds for this game are 1.80 for the Suns and 2.06 for the Nuggets, right now Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton can not play for the Suns while Jamal Murray is questionable if he can play for the Nuggets for this game I think Deandre Ayton is another key player that the Suns needs to with that minus one they will be having a hardtime against the Nuggets, this will end for sure for the Suns if they don't manage to keep them together for me I think that Kevin Durant and Devin Booker will not let this end at game 6 so my pick is the Phoenix Suns,

[jakelyson]

Picks for games today

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics will take on the Philadelphia 76ers in game 6 for their Eastern Conference Semi-Finals tonight at Wells Fargo Center right now the 76ers are on the lead and Joel Embiid is questionable right now if he can play for the 76ers while Danilo Gallinari can not play for the Celtics, Even without Embiid you will never know if James Harden may explode a 40 plus points game, but I think Embiid will play but for me, I think that the Boston Celtics will not let it end here like that so my pick is the Boston Celtics,
Key Injuries: Joel Embiid (Knee) is questionable - Danilo Gallinari (Knee) is out

Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets will take on the Phoenix Suns in game 6 for the Western Conference Semi-Finals tonight at Footprint Center, right now the nuggets are in the lead, Jamal Murray is questionable right now if he can play for the Nuggets while Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton can not play for the Suns, right now the Suns is in the tight spot 1 more win for the Nuggets and the Suns will be out, for this game I think that the injuries for the Suns is badly needed for defensive play needed, Deandre Ayton is much needed inside so for this game I think I am going towards the Nuggets to end the Suns at game 6,
Key Injuries: Jamal Murray (Illness) is questionable - Chris Paul (Groin) is out, Deandre Ayton (Ribs) is out,

[morvillz7z]

∆ K. Durant 40+ PRA / D. Booker 40+ PRA / N. Jokic 45+ PRA @1.94 ∆  X

I wanted to stick with that if it ain't broke don't fix it 25+5 parlay that i ran successfully twice for Suns home games, but the odds are too low, so i'm switching things up.

Trusting the three best players to get theirs, doesn't matter if it's points, assists, or rebounds.

KD hasn't covered the 40 PRA line in only one game so far in the series, covered in both home games (56 and 53).

I lost my first parlay (game 5) because Booker went 15+ minutes without an assist, i'm glad i have the PRA instead today. He like Durant hasn't covered 40 PRA just once, good in both home games (62 and 54).

Jokic is averaging almost 60 PRA for the series, has covered 45+ PRA in each game with some ridiculous stat lines.

Yeah, gonna be one hell of a fight if AD is not going to suit up because it will be Lebron's time to shine if he still has it. Warriors stink on the road, but they have a good win against Sacramento in closing them out, so we might find similar performance as well from Steph and maybe bring his A-game again.

And with that, I going to bet on the Warriors on the road here, +2.2 and not that bad at 1.88 odds.

Warriors winning here will forced another game 7 thriller for them.

Yeah I'm excited as well. This is easily my favorite series going on, and so far in the playoffs.  If Anthony Davis can't make it, then I think the Lakers will have a tough go of it.  I'm not saying I don't think Lebron can pull it off, but I dunno...Curry is still so good and even though Draymond and Klay aren't the same players they once were, they can still play as well as few other key pieces, I just think they might be too much for LA. 

Hopefully Davis plays, I want to see who the real winner is.

It’s a little crazy that the combined spread for both games together tonight is only 4 points. I’d say that Vegas is expecting some good basketball tonight. I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen things so even when it comes to odds in the playoffs. Looks like the odds are however projecting wins for the Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns…

I was thinking the same. Although the Celtics had a good lead in the first half of the first game, the 76ers gradually made a comeback. So, you were right in your expectation that Vegas might consider it a close game, and the underdog could potentially win and end the series. The first game was exciting to watch, as the 76ers were still behind but not yet out of the game.

[danherbias07]

KD hasn't covered the 40 PRA line in only one game so far in the series, covered in both home games (56 and 53).

KD not having a good start, and perimeter shots are not sinking in, I hope he is okay. Let's see if he can still cover the PRA in the next 3 quarters. Without Ayton, he will be truly exhausted today working on both offensive and defensive ends of the floor. I do believe Booker and Joker could hit that number.

I am late, taking the Denver Nuggets ML @1.80 here in the first quarter.
With the Phoenix Suns undermanned, the 2 backup big men Byombo and Landale should step up their game if they badly want this win while Jokic will probably take advantage of this and put more points in the paint. I'd love to see a Game 7 but this Game 6 will be a hard task for the Suns even with KD around.

Over 238.5 should also be easy in this fast-paced game.

Good bet mate, the Nuggets taking a huge 18 point lead in the first quarter and they can't stop Jokic, Byombo and Landale are no match for him. And it's just a horrendous shooting for the Suns in the first quarter.

It's going to take a big effort from Booker and Durant to take this game around. With no Ayton and CP3 still out, very hard to see how they can overcome this do or die game for them. Might be their last game for this season and Nuggets advancing and waiting for the winner of the Lakers against the Warriors.

[vennali]

Early into the 2nd quarter. Looks highly likely that Nuggets kick the Suns out of playoff contention. Bad start from KD, to make things worse. Durant is 1 of 8 shooting while all coming from 2pt range. That smells trouble for the Sun's. They really need Durant and Booker to keep them in playoffs. Cam Payne has had a fiery start and needs to keep that going.

It's déjà vu from the last playoffs when they were also trailing by 30 points at halftime against the Dallas Mavericks.



Booker has delivered some exceptional performances in the playoffs. However, if his team fails to make a comeback in this particular game (which I doubt), it may not positively impact his legacy in the NBA. Some argue that he is a good individual player but not a strong team player. This will only fuel the ongoing debate regarding Durant's ability to win a championship without Curry.

Is Booker still engaging in trash-talking with players who have already won championships? It's quite ironic considering his team's current situation. He must be kidding if he thinks he can mock Thompson when his own team is facing challenges. Booker may be the franchise player, but it's uncertain if this team will continue to improve. Additionally, it remains unclear whether Durant will choose to stay with the team.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the games tomorrow. Can the LA Lakers and Miami Heat end their respective series against their opponents?

[Yamifoud]

Does not look good for the Warriors.

Wiggins questionable for Game 6 with rib cartilage fracture

The Warriors were dealt some tough luck Thursday night, one day before Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Los Angeles Lakers.L

Andrew Wiggins joined the Warriors' injury report with a left costal cartilage fracture, which pertains to one's ribs. The injury isn't uncommon and often results from direct contact to the sternum.

While trying to box out LeBron James with a little over five minutes remaining in the Warriors' Game 5 win Wednesday night, Wiggins grabbed his ribs. If that is when his injury occurred, Wiggins played nearly three more minutes before coach Steve Kerr emptied his bench. In that span, Wiggins also completed a three-point play where he made a hook shot through contact.

Will his performance be affected in Game 6?

I'm just quite curious because the line hasn't moved despite this news coming out. So, I'm thinking maybe it's not a serious injury and might not affect Wiggins' athleticism as a player.

How do you see this report would affect the game?

This is not good news indeed for Warriors' fans but I do think that he will play, he may not be a hundred percent but at least his presence will bring morale to his teammates because Wiggins is a big factor in the Warriors' rotation as an option on the rainbow other than the Splash Bros.

With regards to the odds, if indeed Wigs won't play, that will change when the news will be officially announced.

[owengtam09]

The Warriors really need to improve their performance on the road; if they continue to play the same way, they won't be able to win game 6, and the series will be over. Klay Thompson's shots have not been working for the past three games, so if the Warriors can find a way to activate 'Game 6 Klay,' there's a higher likelihood that we will see a game 7.

The Lakers are only favored by -2.5 points in the next game, so if it's a close game, the Warriors +2.5 will likely be the winning bet.

Unfortunately, looking at the past two road games, the Warriors have not covered the spread yet, making it difficult to decide at this moment. The best thing to do is to follow your instincts and have fun.

They really need to improve their performance, next game will be on the road so they will surely have a hard time winning the away game but if the Warriors can pull this off game 7 will not be difficult anymore because they will be back at chase center again and that is a good thing for them but for the Lakers, they need to keep this chance up and win this at their home court because when this series goes back to chase center Warriors has a high ability in winning this game,

Now my picks for today's game,

Philadelphia 76rs VS Boston Celtics


Phoenix Suns VS Denver Nuggets

You have won the Boston Celtics games but sad to say the Phoenix Suns were dropped from this season it was an embarrassing moment for the Phoenix Suns, beaten by the Denver Nuggets it was a sad day for the Phoenix Suns and Kevin Durant fans that their team and players are now out of the Finals of the NBA, but still, you got your win for the Boston Celtics even with that limited players they still win this match, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart did a great effort in winning this one,

This is not good news indeed for Warriors' fans but I do think that he will play, he may not be a hundred percent but at least his presence will bring morale to his teammates because Wiggins is a big factor in the Warriors' rotation as an option on the rainbow other than the Splash Bros.

With regards to the odds, if indeed Wigs won't play, that will change when the news will be officially announced.

Not good news at all but if 1 of the Warrior's rookie could fill up Andrew Wiggins' shoes and step up his game even though Andrew Wiggins can not play  well I am seeing Jonathan Kuminga has time to shine, for me Steve Kerr need a little risk and yes this is surely a risk but Kuminga needs to feel and learn that vibe in playing at the play-off or the finals so he can grow the best teacher is still experience though,

[btc_angela]

^^ I do agree, it's not good news for the Warriors since Wiggins has been vital part of their offense since he come back from a long absence. However, since Kuminga is asking for more minutes in this series, I think this is his chance to be in the rotation again (him and Poole) and see if they have what it takes to be a true Warrior with championship DNA.

I'm looking at the Warriors though in the next game if they can pull a miracle win in the road. But I'm not going to bet early, might as well wait for the in game to see everything first.

[danherbias07]

Good bet mate, the Nuggets taking a huge 18 point lead in the first quarter and they can't stop Jokic, Byombo and Landale are no match for him. And it's just a horrendous shooting for the Suns in the first quarter.

Yeah, but the Over 238.5 was not achieved because of the blowout game. I took that bet because it will be a game where they will answer back and forth on the offensive end but the Phoenix Suns are having a tough time answering back. All they have is KD and Booker although Payne has some good number too. 7/9 3-point.

My bets for later.
Los Angeles Lakers versus Golden State Warriors‍ - Golden State Warriors ML
I want a Game 7.   Well, what the Warriors showed in their home at Game 5 is something to look forward to. Draymond Green as an aggressive offensive weapon and Wiggins is great at defending Lebron James. Steph was a bit silent but let's not forget the space was always spread out because of him. Now, maybe it's time for Klay Thompson to shine.

Miami Heat versus New York Knicks‍ - New York Knicks (6.5)
I am not so sure about the Knicks but they mostly play a close game against the Heat. I want a Game 7 too but I am putting the +6.5 just to be sure in case this ends in a close game with a buzzer beater ending.  

Good luck everyone!
