NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Wapfika]

I decided to bet a little more at halftime with Denver down 15. Denver already came back from 20 once so I felt it was a good gamble.

You made the right decision, so congratulations to you. It seems like LeBron ran out of gas in the second half after taking charge of the scoring in the first half. The Nuggets remained composed and disciplined despite being down by a significant margin. It was a close game in the fourth quarter, but Denver proved to be smart enough and knew how to win in close games. It's quite rare to see such opportunities, and they usually arise in live betting, where there's a higher chance of winning if you're actually watching the game.

Nuggets are finally in the NBA Finals, it's their first time, and let's see if they'll continue the success by winning the championship.

It's normal for him to become less active in the second half since he already gave all in the first half considering his age right now. Coach Ham should use more AD rather than keep experimenting on other players that are not hot. Jokic is already on 5th foul in the fourth quarter and his defence is noticeably already weak. If the Lakers capitalized AD earlier then I'm sure Joker will be fouled out while they keep the lead since no one can guard him on the inside.

I think we might see a mass change on Lakers roster since most of them are now free agents and can't perform well in this match.

A massive change may not be necessary for the Lakers because despite their struggles in the regular season, they still reached this level. They might consider trading some players, particularly Russell, but the rest may stay, especially Davis and Reaves. Constantly changing the team every season can be risky as it hinders the development of chemistry needed to win a championship

What's everybody betting on for the Heat vs Celtics game?  I used my free bet from Sportsbet to go with the Celtics just because I think it's close to impossible for having two teams getting swept back to back.    I don't really watch basketball so dunno...  Just hoping to get lucky and use the proceeds to bet somewhere else.

Anyway, what do you guys think of the bet?  Judging from the odds, seems like the books think it's either team's game..?

Slightly crazy that the Lakers are down 3-0 to the Nuggets but for whatever reason the lakers are the favorite to win tonight. I know as a gambler you can’t pass on those sorts of odds but I don’t think this Lakers team is going to let their season end by being swept at home. We’ll see. Plus, they’re saying Mo Bamba will play tonight and make a difference. I have my doubts but I would feel safe betting LeBron to win to protect his legacy tonight.

And a crazy win for the Denver Nuggets have now won the game against the Lakers via Sweep, but it was a close game very close game for the Lakers but the Denver Nuggets are just persistent in getting this win Nikola Jokic is a true monster in getting another triple-double for this game and supports from Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray really is a bug help for Jokic,

I'm all in on Denver for a 4 game sweep.  I just said in another thread I will be betting Celtics in game 4 because It's hard to sweep.  But in this one they just can't stop jokic and none of the backcourt can hang with Murray.  I'm taking the odds and taking the money line on Denver.

Good luck everyone.

I was really wrong with my picks this time I thought that the Lakers can somehow manage just 1 win for the Lakers but it was a sweep, D'Angelo Russell was the real Brick this time and just stood there and he doesn't really contribute a lot,

The Boston Celtics moneyline right now is quite tempting because for the first time in this series versus the Miami Heat, they are getting listed as the underdogs @ 2.06 .. And they still have a chance to bounce back and win at least one game before the series ends but I deeply think that eliminating the Heat in the process and face the Nuggets in the next stage is quite too much for them.

For me, I'll take Miami Heat -2.5 @ 2.08 because I don't think they will agree to travel back in the Celtic's homecourt and play on the road if they can win the game later.

I think that’s probably the smart bet to make. There’s a good chance that Boston is mentally defeated already, especially after seeing the Lakers get swept last night. In elimination games the team being eliminated usually gives up and there’s a giant lead by the end. That’s what I’d expect to happen tonight. If Miami wins, I’m guessing they win big.

Still very close as far as ML is concern, Heat at 1.8x and then Celtics at 2.0x.

I will go with the Heat -3.5 here, 2.10. I do agree that if Heat is going to win it could be another blowout. If not then be like the Nuggets, come from behind and winning at least 4-5 points and then Jimmy Butler celebrating.

What a journey for the Heat to go in the finals again with this set of players, undrafted by everyone has a big heart to compete.

∆ G. Vincent 2+ 3pts / C. Martin 2+ rebounds / J. Butler 1+ steals @1.78 ∆  X

I can already see "don't let us get one" memes floating around tomorrow! Lol

The Heat's early help defense has been outstanding in this series, and their role players are heating up (pun intended), they are playing with so much confidence on offense while disciplined on defense.

Gabe Vincent has hit 2+ three-pointers in 11/L14 games this postseason, including 10 against the Celtics on 56% shooting from deep, he is coming off a career-high 29 points.

Caleb Martin has been an integral part of what the Heat have done on defense. His minutes have gone from 15 to 30+ in this series. 2+ rebounds in 13/L14, 3/3 vs. Celtics.

Butler has 11 steals in three games, and with the Celtics averaging 15 turnovers per game, 1+ steals should be considered a lock.

I'm looking forward to another sweep, so Miami Heat ML @1.83, and after watching one of the post-game interviews from the Celtics side, it sounded like they're demotivated and can't find any solution to beat the Miami Heat.

If this was in TD Garden maybe they stand a chance, but last game Jimmy Butler wasn't even the top leading scorer on the side of the Miami Heat.

I wouldn't fall for the bait of the bookies since this is the best game for Miami to shut the door on the Celtics and advance to the finals.

That's a good value bet if you ask me, everything have been going wrong for the Boston Celtics in this series, but that's not because the Celtics are an awful team, but the Heat doing stellar job against and Celtics finding it almost impossible to penetrate to the Heat's defense.

I have more on the props with players like Gabe Vincent, Kyle Lowry for assists , Robert Williams for Rebound and Al-Horford for rebound.

Just got off the road after working out of town and unfortunately seeing that my strategy of "man both of these teams can't possible get swept out of the conference championships" doesn't seem like it's going to work this time, as it didn't for last nights game with the Lakers lol.  I gotta stop betting on why I think things will happen or perhaps what tends to happen...and base it off the hear and now.  Heat and Denver are just superior teams, and it's been evident since game 1 for both teams.

Boston was fortunate to have a dominant win in game 4. They should continue to play in that manner, emphasizing ball movement and teamwork instead of relying on isolation plays. Now, they are back on their home court for game 5. Hopefully, they can secure a victory, allowing us to witness a game 6 at the Heat's home arena. However, it's important to note that history tells us that no team has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit, so I won't set high expectations for the Celtics at this moment.

I favored for the Celtics today on the ML and handicap and bet on that 1-3, 6-10, and 11-14 lead for them as I see they will make it and that was at loss having that 17 blowout, wow I never thought that Celtics would made a run in the final quarter. Jayson Tatum is being aggressive and we didn't see this on the recent matches or it's not him that putting the efforts. I don't know if they can pull it again to a game 6 but that's unlikely, the Heat will came up with a win the next game.

Did you win? I think the there's a betting option too for a team to win by 16-20 points, and the odds are definitely high. Jayson Tatum had a good game, but hopefully, it's a wake-up call for him to be aggressive all the time and continue shooting the ball. When he's hot, he's unstoppable. It's a blowout win and a big bounce back because the Heat were able to blow them out in Game 3 with a 26-point lead.

I think the Miami Heat are the bait here because people might expect a similar series to that of the Lakers and Nuggets. The Heat's big win in Game 3 adds to the belief that they should easily win the closeout game. Additionally, the line movement suggests that bettors are putting their money on the Heat, indicating that the Heat was the popular choice among the public. However, it's worth noting that the public often experiences losses in such situations.

Was at a loss but just likely 20% on my overall stake since I have other bets that won too like betting for Jimmy Butler to score over 25.5 and Jason Tatum for 26.5. If it was predicted as it was on my end that would have been @10 or more odds, that should have been a juicy win for me if the Celtics didn't make a run with those 3's and some free throws.

This was probably the best stat with him in this ECF with 63 FG% and if he has done that same energy during the much needed win on game 3 then this series would have been good for them since the next game will be on their home. They're good on pressure games just like what they did on the semifinals and there's still hope on them if they win this game five.

I wouldn't fall for the bait of the bookies since this is the best game for Miami to shut the door on the Celtics and advance to the finals.

Yeah they're baiting gamblers here but I think Celtics is chasing a history here coming back from 3-0 deficit and that Jaylen Brown's tweet regarding they shouldn't let the Celtics win in game 4 is still an understatement, for now I'd say. I know, the chance is slim for them but they're still balling. Whoever wins this ECF is my favorite to match with the Nuggets.

Seems like it. I don't know what happened to the Miami Heat after having a good run in the 1st half because they definitely slowed down in the middle of 3rd quarter until the game ended while the Celtics has been poised not to lose the game anymore and their energy has been very lively to chase the Heat whenever they go and was able to give them answer as always. Tatum did a good job for always attacking the paint and his shooting has been impressive because he was always confident that he can do it.

Congrats to those who ride on the Celtics, Jayson Tatum prevented a end of season for them as he lead all scorers with 33 points. So another sigh of relived fort them, just one game at a time. Lost my bet on the Heat as I thought that they are going to sweep the series.

The good thing is that they are going back to Boston Garden. The bad thing is that numbers is against them. No team in the history of NBA has comeback from down 0-3 in a playoff series.

The downside is that there is no guarantee they will win Game 6, as they don't have a good home record in the playoffs. Therefore, the Heat would still be a threat. In fact, home court is no longer an advantage in this series, as both teams have won on their opponent's home court.

Jason Tatum needs to bring that energy in Game 5, or else it will be time to go fishing.

Of course, there's no guarantee that the home team will win, although we can say that they have a higher chance of winning since they have the crowd's support. However, we've already seen in the Lakers vs Nuggets series where the Nuggets beat the Lakers twice on their home court to eliminate them. We have to assess which team is better, and based on the current record, it appears that the Heat are the better team.

If the Celtics win Game 5 and 6, then I think we will have a game.
