NBA 2023-2024 betting

[danherbias07]

Decided to gamble on Miami Moneyline.

Congratulations bro, I had the same bet on Game 1. I just stayed on the safe side here in game 2 and won the +10.5.

I managed to get a win from my ML on the Heat and decent odds.

Congratulations to you too, bro. Gutsy bets from two of our bettors here. Sweet! I am a little jealous that I should've put a little bit of money into the ML.

2/2

I am glad to see Duncan Robinson being helpful again for the Miami Heat team. Remember, this guy had been benched for a long time not because of injuries but because of his lack of defensive aggressiveness which is not the nature of the team. But today, he showed that he can be trusted on both ends of the floor. 15 points and 1 steal for the sharpshooter. If he keeps up this kind of energy, I am sure Coach Spo would give him more minutes.
Caleb Martin was also fantastic earning 25 points to help the Miami Heat win Game 2. Now, this is a big problem for the Celtics playing on the road twice.

Damn! Miami Heat taking a 2-0 lead away from the Boston Celtics, at the TD Garden,  It's going to be a very challenging task for Boston Celtics to get iboth game 3 and 4 away from home against this Heat team, I really can't consider it a done deal, but it's just going to be daunting task, one more win from Miami Heat from their two home games, then it's a wrap in my opinion.

A tough pick when you are watching the game. It was a close game before the 4th quarter rally coming from the Heat. Pretty sure there are many gamblers who lose their bets today, as the outcome is really unexpected.

Giving away the home court advantage not just one game but two games in a row, it's a big advantage now for Heat. If they can win one game at home, it will be a tough responsibility now for last year's conference champ.

Can't conclude it yet but the winning chance for those who pick Miami for these series got an upper hand now, if I remember it right the percentage
is less than 10% for Heat to win and advance to the NBA finals.

We can trust the Heat to not give up easily. They were down by a big margin at the end of the third quarter, but I saw an opportunity with odds of 3.00 for the Heat to win by 3 or more points in the fourth quarter, and they did just that. Not only did they win in the fourth quarter, but they also won the game.

Giving away the home court advantage not just one game but two games in a row, it's a big advantage now for Heat. If they can win one game at home, it will be a tough responsibility now for last year's conference champ.

The Celtics have tried their best, but it appears they cannot dominate the Heat because everyone on the Heat roster exudes great confidence. As long as Jimmy contributes, it boosts the confidence of his teammates. Caleb Martin was particularly impressive in this game, as he made significant contributions in various aspects, especially in generating points. This was the key reason why the Heat secured another road team win. It's worth noting that Caleb Martin is an undrafted player as well.

Went 1 for 2 hit the over but sucked it up with a Celtics ML loss.  Boston is in trouble no doubt.  For tonight's game I'm taking Denver money line.  Going to be tough to win in LA but I think this is where Denver starts to step on tueor throat.  Bold prediction: lebron 0-7 from 3 and LA losses by 3. 

Good luck and enjoy the game!

With the Lakers down 0-2 and being the favorites to win tonight, I think you have to take Denver. Sure, the Lakers will give it their all tonight on their home floor so if they win a game this series it will likely be tonight, but winning by 6+ after getting beaten twice in a row seems like a tall order. As a gambler, you gotta go with the cards you’re dealt.

I don't know what to expect from Denver Nuggets, but I believe that LeBron James and the Lakers would come out aggressively today, and they are still yet to drop a game  on homecourt in this playoffs, however, I think almost 3 Odds Denver Nuggets is outrageous and worth the punt, I'll be taking the Denver Nuggets ML and LeBron James Over 24.5 Points as single bets, I'm curious to see how they'll respond to deficit, they've also not being 2 games down at this playoffs, so it's going to require more than just the will power for Lakers tonight.

I really do not expect Miami to take the lead on the series against Boston Celtics much less take 2-0 on the road. It is indeed a tough job for the Celtics but not impossible. A lot of teams came back from a 0-2 deficit before. It will be hard for Celtics if Miami wins another game before Celtics tie the series. The series is over, but Joe Mazzulla must be on point when coaching right now. He must not underestimate Jimmy Butler and allow just a single coverage on him. The players are performing really well. It is a coaching battle from now on.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets

This is a must-win game for the Lakers so they can avoid a 3-0 hole. They will be defending their home against the Denver Nuggets carried by Jokic and Murray. The Lakers are heavily favored to win this game, but I chose Denver Nuggets because I noticed Lebron was not playing well in game 2. He missed a lot of open layups and perimeter shots. He even loses the ball on the way to a dunk. I do not know if it is an excuse, but he keeps on touching his foot, so I think the foot is affecting his performance. If so, he does not have enough time to recover, which may affect his game again tonight.

I decided to take another risk tonight and took Denver -2.5. I am about 50/50 on this bet, so I wouldn't follow it unless you're looking for high risk/high reward bets. 3.30 odds on the bet though is a little hard to pass up on the chance Denver goes looking for a sweep.

[ChiBitCTy]

I wanted to put something on this game, and as I sat to think about to bet it, the more I couldn’t figure out how I wanted to lol. I think it was one of those situations where I was just desperate to bet but made a dumb decision, and put my btc on the Lakers simply because I want them to win. They are playing like shit and this series really has gone to show how Lebron just isn’t close to the guy he once was (still a star of course).

Anyways, thankfully I made a cheap bet.

Impressive. We both won our bets tonight so congratulations to us.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets

I think almost 3 Odds Denver Nuggets is outrageous and worth the punt, I'll be taking the Denver Nuggets ML

To you too guys, congratulations.

I won three and I took that Over 110.5 at the end of the first half. Funny, I thought Jamal Murray will continue the red-hot shooting spree but it was Jokic and the roleplayers who made the score grow high. Bruce Brown especially had an impressive game tonight. 15 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and most of them are crucial shots in the fourth quarter.
3-0. We all know there is no team yet who won in a 3-0 deficit.
And as I said in the other thread, I will only believe this will be a long conference final if the Lakers win this Game 3. I don't expect a Game 7. The Nuggets are just too much for them.

[Ziskinberg]

That game was controlled by the Nuggets. The Lakers were able to neutralize Jokic, but Murray was exceptional in the first half. However, when the Lakers focused their defense on Murray, it was Jokic who torched them in the fourth quarter. Once again, what the Lakers are missing in this game is their three-point shooting, while the Nuggets' role players are very confident shooting from the outside.

So, congratulations to the winners, particularly those who bet on the Nuggets' moneyline and the over 223.


Tomorrow we have the Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics, will we see another 3-0 series score?

Having Jokic pick up his 4th personal foul quite early into the 3rd Quarter was a blessing in disguise for the Nuggets, they were able to stay solid with Jokic sitting on the bench for majority of the 3rd Quarter and that ironically helped The Joker get a much needed long term rest to get fired up for the 4th Quarter, I guess this is a done series already, right, most likely going to be a sweep, imo.

Tomorrow we have the Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics, will we see another 3-0 series score?

That's quite a possibility, given that Miami Heat would be on home court, but then I'm highly expecting a different form of approach and resistance from Boston Celtics.

Congrats on the wins. I'm honestly leaning towards Nuggets and the sweep now. I think it would be great for the game if the Lakers won 3 in a row, and I fully expect them to fight hard in game 4. I just feel like all hope might be lost for them. Even at home they have been less than awesome.

Lakers is already on the verge of getting swept by the Nuggets, the latter only have to do one more game out of the 4 games remaining. But expecting the Lakers to win 3 successive games in row is somehow impossible to think especially for the situation that they have now, they should focus winning at least one game first because next game is a must for them.

It will be a big disappointment for the franchise if they will be swept at this stage, sadly, there are no reasons for the Nuggets not to finish the series if they have the power to do so.

That was one a risky bet for sure because we almost got no ideas at all in who will lead the game as the Lakers are expected to bounce back from the back to back loss they faced while they are on the road. But the situation are still pretty much the same even if they are playing at home, still they can't fully hold the Nuggets roster because they are just really comfortable and confident to shoot beyond the arc, whether if it's in their home or on the road, doesn't matter for the Nuggets.

Tomorrow we have the Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics, will we see another 3-0 series score?

Just like the situation of Lakers towards the Nuggets, Celtics also have the same struggle towards the Heat and seeing another 3-0 in the opposite conference doesn't sound impossible at all. The Celtics should fix their attitude and they better have the consistency until the game will end because in the past two games, they always end up choking after having a good run.

I agree. The Nuggets already bagged this series by winning game 3. There is no team bouncing from a 0-3 deficit even if they have Lebron on their team. Maybe Denver will give the next game a gentlemen's sweep but it will end on game 5 max. The way the Lakers are playing right now, they have nothing that can make them beat Nuggets. Anyway, the Lakers already exceeded expectations this year. A few months ago, we do not even expect them to qualify for the playoffs and now they are in conference finals.


Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics

Even though the Boston Celtics are down 0-2 in their series against Miami Heat in Eastern Conference Finals, they are still the favorite to win this game. The Celtics have no trouble winning on the road so I think they can still win this game. The players are playing great, but I think the coaching is lacking. Joe Mazzulla must step up and don't let Erik Spoelstra outcoach him this time.

[OgNasty]

Another day with a team being down 0-2 and being the favorites. I think given the odds you have to take the Heat here. I’m surprised the Celtics have been playing so poorly and think they’ll win, but as a gambler I don’t think you can bet on a 0-2 team who has the odds unless they’ve got a player returning or something. So I’d take the Heat.

[ralle14]

I already lost hope in the Celtics after they lost the second game because it's rare for teams to lose the second game. The bookies expect too much on the side of the Celtics, and the odds look like a trap when the Heat are much better at home than on the road. I'll gladly bet on the Heat moneyline @2.5 because the Celtics are more or less the same when playing on the road, and we probably won't see the Heat become favorites in the remaining games.

[danherbias07]

Tomorrow we have the Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics, will we see another 3-0 series score?

Possible. Boston was not showing some light at the end of the tunnel, they are bad at closing games. So if they don't change that especially here in the Miami home then it will be another defeat.

Yes, IMO the Miami Heat money line is more tempting than taking the Celtics with a negative handicap.

Miami Heat versus Boston Celtics - Miami Heat ML
Over 212.5
Bam Adebayo Over 1.5 Steals + Blocks + Jimmy Butler Over 3.5 Steals + Blocks + Robert Williams Over 0.5 Steals + Blocks = 7.00
Butler is playing better defense in the last two games against the Boston Celtics. I think he is locked in and now that they are playing at home it will not be surprising if he can get 4-5 steals and blocks before the game ends.
Robert Williams also has 1-2 blocks per game. Bam Adebayo as a defender on the paint might make 1 steal and a block so I am expecting him to be more locked in now that they are at home.

Can the Boston Celtics withstand the loud crowd in Miami? Let's hope this will still be a close game. I hate to see a blowout happen, that will not be fun.

[Distinctin]

Can the Boston Celtics withstand the loud crowd in Miami? Let's hope this will still be a close game. I hate to see a blowout happen, that will not be fun.

I'm sure you disliked the outcome of Game 3 as it was a blowout win by the Heat. Now that the Heat are already up 3-0, the rest of the games are not fun to watch anymore, even if the Celtics win Game 4. I think the Celtics coach was simply outcoached by Spoelstra because we know that the Celtics' roster is better than the Miami Heat's, which includes a lot of undrafted players.

The final result of game 3 is 102-128, home team won by 26 points.
