NBA 2023-2024 betting

[danherbias07]

Boston Celtics - Cleveland Cavaliers - Boston Celtics (-8.5)
Chicago Bulls - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-5.5)
Los Angeles Clippers - Sacramento Kings - Los Angeles Clippers (-1.5)

2 of 3.
Damn, I was being careful not to be greedy betting for the Boston Celtics spreads and yet it's still not covered. They only won by seven points.
Denver Nuggets was red hot. Despite losing Nikola Jokic due to being ejected, their 2nd team still managed to win the game. Chicago Bulls were too careless with the ball and they may have underestimated the bench of the Nuggets which is wrong. Jordan and Reggie will definitely punish them if they won't D them.
LA Clippers as expected won their game but I didn't expect a huge gap like that.

9 games later.
First pick.
Washington Wizards - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5) I think that spread is low but it might be the safest one. @1.71
Second pick.
Detroit Pistons - Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers (-10.5) This should be covered. It's Embiid for crying out loud, and they are playing the Detroit Pistons who are on their 20th losing streak.
Third pick.
San Antonio Spurs - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-1.5) Looks like a trap but I will bite.
Fourth pick.
Phoenix Suns - Brooklyn Nets - Phoenix Suns (-1.5) With Bradley Beal back, even if Durant takes a rest they may win this or even if they are playing back-to-back.

Good luck everyone.

Another disappointing lost from us because the Lakers chooses to relax in the first 2 quarters hehehe.

Lots of game but I think pretty much the favorites are gong to win and cover the spread. We have the Pistons and Spurs who has a losing streak and I think it will continue as they are facing the Sixers and the Lakers.

I'll go with the Suns -3.5 here @1.79. It looks like the handicap moved already from -1.5 to -2.5.

Was following the Celtics game and from what I remember they were down 23-11 very early on so their odds adjusted of course and shot up to 1.30x odds.
What were they 1.13x odds prematch on most books last night? Is it me or most if not all favorites intentionally let the underdog team go ahead early in their games. So to let them gain some confidence from what I have watched lately in the matches since the start of this season.
It is so to punish the gambler who they know have bets in massive amount on them to win.
Had three bets on several slips with the favorites in o/u combo bets and they all trailed by the 1st quarter.
Just so very strange which I only noticed it when I had this acca made with all the favorites so I was actually keeping track and watching all three games carefully on the score ticker at the bottom of the screen of the Celtics game.

Congratulations! You picked well and won three games today. I am not feeling well and I only managed one bet on Denver Nuggets.

Jamal Murray played. And thankfully it was the right decision because he led his team in scoring in what I assumed would be an easy win. But Atlanta thrilled its home fans when the match became closer. After a 15 point lead, it was trimmed down to 4, courtesy of two threes from Bogdanovich within a minute. That was almost able to alter the outcome of the match. It was a disheartening night for Bogdan Bogdanovich who scored 40.

Thanks! It was just luck actually I just did a little research for this game their winnings and losses, and injuries, and the odds have something that has taken the idea to make a bet but yeah for those games I chose it was really predictable, but I haven't made a bet for games yesterday and today, I totally missed the games yesterday and my deposit hasn't arrived yet so I haven't made a bet for today, but for sure will be going with the tomorrow games,

Jamal Murray has played for the Atlanta Hawks game but he didn't play against the Chicago Bulls game while Nikola Jokic just played 16 minutes for that game maybe they have let him rest for this game, but yeah Bogdan Bogdanovic has a great game but the Atlanta Hawks still lost this game, so it was really a sad day for Bogdan Bogdanovic,

It was a great ending but the Suns were able to hold on to beat the Warriors. Booker definitely hit the over with a 32 point night and he held on to the game down the stretch as Durant looked on from the bench. Curry did get a chance to tie it at the end with a quick shot off the inbounds but he wasn’t able to pull off a miracle.

It was really a close game Booker really showed what he can really do and without Kevin Durant for the team they really did well with this game, well it was a close game for this game but yeah for sure Steve Kerr really used those bench matches so much right now and he was really utilizing the young guns right now, as Draymond Looney and Wiggins played less for that game, and they still lose that game but in a close one, still not a bad game for the Warriors and not the great game they can showcase as well,

[OgNasty]

I turn on the Lakers game to see that LeBron is out. Information that could have been useful to me prior to placing my bets for the day. I did get the Lakers in a parlay with the 76ers and the Pelicans all winning. Hopefully Anthony Davis can come through and carry them to a win. The way the Spurs have been playing it shouldn’t be too hard.

[morvillz7z]

∆ J. Randle 20+ points / J. Brunson 5+ assists / J. Brunson 1+ steals @2.34 ∆  won

I'll stick with the Knicks until they disappoint me, which hopefully won't be anytime soon. Lol

I've added Brunson's assists and steals to Randle's 20+ points. Brunson is coming off a 9-assist game against the Raptors, has 5+ assists in 4/L5 and 8/L10. The game has a fairly high total of 230, and the Jazz are plain bad defensively. Brunson is also on a seven-game stretch of recording at least one steal, the Jazz also average nearly 18 turnovers per game which is dead last in the NBA.

[YuginKadoya]

My Bet and Prediction on my last bet was on December 12, and since then because of the busy schedule of the holidays I haven't made a bet for the games Yesterday and today and for sure sharing my big win in here, but surely I will bet for tomorrows game,

Detroit Pistons VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 123 - 131 - WIN

Orlando Magic VS Cleveland Cavaliers SCORE 104 - 94 - WIN

Charlotte Hornets VS Miami Heat SCORE 114 - 116 - WIN

Another disappointing lost from us because the Lakers chooses to relax in the first 2 quarters hehehe.

I'll go with the Suns -3.5 here @1.79. It looks like the handicap moved already from -1.5 to -2.5.

For sure I think that they did their best the game was a close one if you are referring to yesterday's game well, Kyrie Irving didn't play for the Mavericks but for sure Luka Doncic was really firing that night he got a double-double of 17 assists and 33 points for this game, while Tim Hardaway got 32 points, even if LeBron James got 33 points and Anthony Davis got a double-double of 11 rebounds and 37 points, they still didn't manage to win but it was a close one and you can not say that they didn't do much for that game,

I turn on the Lakers game to see that LeBron is out. Information that could have been useful to me prior to placing my bets for the day. I did get the Lakers in a parlay with the 76ers and the Pelicans all winning. Hopefully Anthony Davis can come through and carry them to a win. The way the Spurs have been playing it shouldn’t be too hard.

That was a bummer for them because LeBron James is the team captain surely if he becomes focus with the game he can eventually turn the tables with their great defense and offensive prowess on the court for sure Anthony Davis is not enough but still maybe they can pull through without him,

It was reported that Lebron will be out.

Aren't you wondering why the Lakers was only -3.5 against the struggling Spurs. If you were able to bet on the moneyline, you should have won. This could actually be an easy cover by the Lakers if they didn't allow the Spurs to have a strong run in the 4th, with that it resulted to the Lakers winning by 3 points only which means spurs handicap win.

[danherbias07]

Was following the Celtics game and from what I remember they were down 23-11 very early on so their odds adjusted of course and shot up to 1.30x odds.
What were they 1.13x odds prematch on most books last night?

1.70+ at -8.5 if I am not mistaken, then it changed to -9.5 and the -8.5 was gone on the options.

3/4 on my last bets. Damn! I am hot. 
Luckily I only went for that -1.5 for the Lakers because they won by only 3 points against the San Antonio Spurs.

Phoenix Suns. My only defeat. I really thought they could win that one and I even took Kevin Durant out of the picture and yet they lost against the Brooklyn Nets. Another 20+ pointer game for Cam Thomas.

Later, 7 games are listed.
Here are my picks.

Miami Heat - Chicago Bulls - Miami Heat (-1.5) Miami Heat had not let me down yet. They can win games even without Bam Adebayo.

Dallas Mavericks - Minnesota Timberwolves - Dallas Mavericks (-1.5) Luka Doncic is just too much on the offensive end. They are now on their 4th winning streak and I hope it will not be the Timberwolves who will stop it.

Denver Nuggets - Brooklyn Nets - Denver Nuggets (-10.5) After Jokic is ejected in their last game, I bet he will go crazy again with his stats. He is hungry and the Brooklyn Nets are exhausted. The Nuggets will win at home but I hope they can also cover the spread.

Sacramento Kings - Oklahoma City Thunder - Sacramento Kings (-1.5) Bad loss against the Clippers but it was a road game and it's back to back. After a good 1 day rest they may want to win this one at home and light the beam again.

Good luck everyone.

Here are my bets and predictions for the games today,

Portland Trail Blazer VS Utah Jazz

The stake odds for this game are 1.63 for the Portland Trail Blazer and 2.35 for the Utah Jazz, for this game Malcolm Brogdon, Ishmail Wainright, and Deandre Ayton are all questionable if they can play for the Portland Trail Blazer, Robert Williams III is Out for the season, and Jerami Grant has a Concussion and can not play for the Portland Trail Blazer, while Luka Samanic, Lauri Markkanen, and John Collins all are questionable if they can play for the Utah Jazz, Keyonte George, and Jordan Clarkson both can not play for the Utah Jazz, for this game, I will gamble and risk it on the Utah Jazz if Lauri Markennen can play my chance is high because he can surely play with Collin Sexton and Simone Fontecchio,

Sacramento Kings VS Oklahoma City Thunder

The stake odds for this game are 1.79 for the Sacramento Kings and 2.08 for the Oklahoma City Thunder, for this game Trey Lyles is questionable if he can play for the Sacramento Kings and Alex Len has an ankle injury and can not play for the Sacramento Kings, while the Oklahoma City Thunder don't have any injuries, for this game the even though they have injuries the Sacramento Kings still has their main players and yeah My pick is the Sacramento Kings,

Los Angeles Clipper VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 1.48 for the Los Angeles Clippers and 2.75 for the Golden State Warriors, for this game Brandon Boston Jr., Paul George, and Joshua Primo are all questionable if they can play for the Los Angeles Clippers,  Moussa Diabate and Mason Plumlee both can not play for the Clippers, while Gary Payton II has a Calf injury and can not play for the Golden State Warriors, for this game because of the so many injuries of the Clippers my pick is the Golden State Warriors,

Not lucky enough for today bud. I won my first bet today, the Celtics are still unbeatable when playing in their arena.

I also bet on Miami, but they lost in their own arena to the Bulls. I am losing faith in this team. Perhaps they are just better during the playoffs because we can see the best of Playoff Jimmy.

In the Minnesota Timberwolves VS Dallas Mavericks match we have the opposite pick. The Mavericks depend on Luka to perform, the TWolves are less reliant on a single player.

Good luck with your TBlazer bet. They are at home but it did not reflect on their previous matches. Jazz is having a nice lead in the halftime.

[Yaunfitda]

^^ It's really unpredictable games, specially the Heat vs Bulls, when we think that the Heat is going to win at home. But the Bulls come in strong in the first quarter and building a solid lead. But I thought that my bet has still a chance as I put on the Heat my handicap.

However, it seems that the Heat doesn't have the legs specially in the 4th.

Same with Luka, when Exum has a solid game against the Lakers, but against the Wolves, he as check and they just rely on Luka. But his 39 points and 13 assists was not enough.

I predicted the Bulls to win beause they were playing competitive basketball although they fall short in the end.
Just like when they played the Bucks, the game went to OT but they lose, so I was thinking maybe they could win or at least cover the handicap being the underdog at home, and I was right, they were up early and it's just enough for them to win by not allowing the Heat to come back and beat them.

Same with Luka, when Exum has a solid game against the Lakers, but against the Wolves, he as check and they just rely on Luka. But his 39 points and 13 assists was not enough.

Wolves have a different kind of defense, so you can't compare them with the Lakers. They are the number 1 team in the West for a reason.

This game was a dominant win by the Wolves, and that is even Edwards was struggling with his shooting as he was only 3/19 and end up scoring 9 points only.

[Harkorede]

Yet the Warriors struggles continues again, with their 3rd consecutive loss, Klay Thompson was the better of the Splash brothers today, but his 30 point game wasn't just enough to help Warriors get a win, however, Steve is making some really good adjustment to the team's roster, with Jonathan Kuminga get the nod to start and Andrew Wiggins dropping to bench, I believe these are necessary and it's looking good from how the Warrior played today, in my opinion.

They played good but not enough to win. This team used to be a dominant team but they have been struggling recently. I don't know if coach Kerr would still be able to bring the Warriors again in the playoffs because this Draymond Green issue recently has hit them hard for sure.

Curry also hasn't been too consistent, probably because of the adjustments they are making, but let them do the job because what we want to see here is the outcome of the games which the Warriors are in losing streak and that only tells the adjustments didn't work.

[danherbias07]

Miami Heat - Chicago Bulls - Miami Heat (-1.5)
Dallas Mavericks - Minnesota Timberwolves - Dallas Mavericks (-1.5)
Denver Nuggets - Brooklyn Nets - Denver Nuggets (-10.5)
Sacramento Kings - Oklahoma City Thunder - Sacramento Kings (-1.5)

2 of 4.
The Chicago Bulls won, well that was surprising.
The Mavericks lost, not surprising. Without Kyrie Irving, it won't be easy to defeat the strong Timberwolves even though the Antman had a rough night.
The Denver Nuggets didn't fail my prediction. Nikola Jokic with another triple-double and even if Jamal Murray was in restricted minutes, he somehow made the most out of it.
The Kings won, nice, light the beam.

8 games later.
Here are my picks.

Charlotte Hornets - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5)
Washington Wizards - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-5.5)
Philadelphia 76ers - Detroit Pistons - Philadelphia 76ers (-13.5) I don't really like the high spreads like this but Pistons had been losing for 20 consecutive games so it might cover.
San Antonio Spurs - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-5.5)

Good luck everyone.

I do agree that Wolves are doing fine this season so far but they are one of those "figured how to work it out" teams and those teams do not end up being that great for a long time. Either they are going to start losing during the regular season and lose the top seed, or they are going to end up going into the playoffs while being the top seed and end up losing to a lower seed.

We have seen this plenty of times, hell even the title winner Denver Nuggets was that team at one point in their life, they did all they could and this should not be all that confusing to many people, we need to handle something that would not be all that crazy, we need to realize what's going on and just how dangerous it is for Wolves to think they are great.

And Sixers is already covering their last 2-3 games even if they are into the high spreads.

I like your pick with the Pacers vs Wizards, Washington although they are playing at home, has been struggling with their line up and it seems that Poole could be one of the reasons. I also like the Raptors playing at home, their ML is already that attractive, so I might take them at ML @1.80.

I will go with my underdog here, the Orlando Magic against the Boston Celtics, @2.50.

[morvillz7z]

∆ Randle 20+ points / J. Brunson 1+ steals @2.01 ∆  won

The plan is simple: anytime the Knicks play, have Randle or Brunson (or better still both) props loaded and ready... and keep milking those juicy lines.

Randle is now on an eight-game streak of scoring at least 20 points while shooting 58% from the field. Dropped 28 against Phoenix less than three weeks ago. Suns also allow the fourth most points to opposing power forwards. Great spot for Randle, yet again.

Brunson has an eight-game streak of at least one steal himself, including three against Phoenix in Game 1. In 4/L5, the Suns have handed opposing starting PGs at least one steal.
