NBA 2023-2024 betting

Always tough betting on NBA games on New Year's Day.  You never know who was out late the night before and holding back vomit as they sprint up and down the court.  That being said, I think there are a couple of safe mismatches today that might make a decent multi-bet together.  First up, the Rockets and the Pistons.  I think the Pistons might be on a good run at the moment, but don't give them too much credit.  You also have the Nuggets likely beating the Hornets, and the Suns taking down the Trail Blazers.  Those are my picks for the day.  Good luck and Happy New Year!

It's time to ride the Pistons after breaking their losing streak.  

I also prefer to fade the Rockets because they've been regressing after losing three of their home games last week and their opponents even had a slight disadvantage(missing key player, worse form, etc.). The Pistons could keep it below double digits and cover if the Rockets keep this regression going.



Edit: Unreal performance from Cade Cunningham he suddenly went for 3-16 in FGs.

until now the 2nd quarter of the detroit pistons are still behind 47-40 from the houston rockets. of the 33 matches that have been played, they only won the match at 3x, 1 of which was the match before the rocket opponent, against the toronto raptors. it was a narrow win, which before that more than 10 matches always lost.
I think meet houston rocket opponent will lose too.

Actually, with my pick for today's game, I would surely go fully with the underdogs but going with the Utah Jazz was the right decision anyway here is the result of my bet and prediction for this game,

New York Knicks VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 112 - 106 - LOST

The Minnesota Timberwolves got a great start but the New York Knicks got them really good in the 2nd quarter of this game I thought that the Timberwolves would win this and I was wrong Julius Randle was a beast and Jalen Brunson was the playmaker for the New York Knicks, and from this game, Donte DiVincenzo got 15 points, OG Anunoby got 17 points, Jalen Brunson has a double-double of 14 assists and 16 points while Julius Randle got 39 points for this game and winning against the number 1 team in the West,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 113 - 122 - LOST

Now in this game, I was really baffled by the results of this game, I really thought that the Milwaukee Bucks would win but because I underestimated the Indiana Pacers, and what Tyrese Haliburton can do I never saw that coming, I really wanted to choose the Indiana Pacers in this game I surely got a hunch but I didn't follow it, so I lost, Giannis Antetokounmpo was a monster getting a triple-double for this game, but yeah Bennedict Mathurin has a double-double of 13 rebounds and 25 points, and Tyrese Haliburton also has a double-double of 11 assist and 26 points for this game,

Utah Jazz VS Dallas Mavericks SCORE 127 - 90 - WIN

The Only game I won and Because of the Injuries and the less time the main players for the Dallas Mavericks would have I risked my bet for the Utah Jazz for this game I surely need to go with what I think the game will go, and for this game, this is just a gut feeling that the underdog may win and most of the underdog in all my picks did win, and with the Utah Jazz, from start to finish, Lauri Markkanen got 17 points, Simone Fontecchio got 24 points and Jordan Clarkson has a triple-double of 10 rebounds 11 assist and 20 points for this game,

They loss, and they are about to start a losing streak.

113-136, that was a 23 point victory by the Rockets who miss  Dillon Brooks due to an injury. I would say that the Pistons were just lucky against the Raptors because they are showing their real capability again. As much as possible, stay away from this team, or if you can't at least bet against them.

[danherbias07]

6 games later. Here are my picks.

Philadelphia 76ers - Chicago Bulls - Philadelphia 76ers (-10.5) Nikola Vucevic is still not cleared to play. I think it will take one more week before he comes back. Zach LaVine too is not yet available. 76ers might win this easily and I wish they can cover the spread.

Oklahoma City Thunder - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-1.5) It's only 1.69 but I will take it, don't want to be too greedy against the Thunder who will be playing at home. They sometimes surprise me with their offensive talents.

New Orleans Pelicans - Brooklyn Nets - New Orleans Pelicans (-3.5) Dorian Finney-Smith is probable for the Nets. The Pelicans had been playing great in their last two games and one of them was just recently against the strong Lakers. I bet they can cover that low spread.

Memphis Grizzlies - San Antonio Spurs - Memphis Grizzlies (-10.5) Grizzlies should win this one and stop the bleeding. They are now on their 3rd losing streak and it's not looking good for them. Take the lead early and finish it on a blowout at their home.

The other two games are for my live betting.
Good luck everyone and Happy New Year.

[OgNasty]

Looks like we’re back to a full slate of NBA games after the holidays. Today there are a couple matchups I like if you wanted to go for an easy parlay win as is my calling card. First I like the Grizzlies to beat the Spurs.  Ow with Ja back it should be an easy game for them. I also like the Kings over the Hornets. The Kings are just a much better team.

[YuginKadoya]

Now my bet and Prediction for NBA games today

Oklahoma City Thunders VS Boston Celtics

The stake odds for this game are 2.44 for the Oklahoma City Thunders and 1.59 for the Boston Celtics, Right now the Oklahoma City Thunders don't have any injuries while the Boston Celtics also don't have any injuries aswell, this game the Boston Celtics is the favorite to win and they are number 1 in the east, while the OKC Thunders is 2nd in the West both teams are going in the game at their 100% but I like to risk betting for the underdog so my pick is the Oklahoma City Thunders,

Sacramento Kings VS Charlotte Hornets

The stake odds for this game are 1.07 for the Sacramento Kings and 9.60 for the Charlotte Hornets, right now the Sacramento Kings don't have any injuries, while Terry Rozier and Mark Williams are both questionable if they can play for the Hornets, Frank Ntilikina, Gordon Hayward and LaMelo Ball will not play for the Charlotte Hornets for this game, right now the key injuries for the Hornets are mostly their main roster while the Kings are in their 100% form going to this game so my pick is the Sacramento Kings,

Golden State Warriors VS Orlando Magic

The stake odds for this game are 1.64 for the Golden State Warriors and 2.33 for the Orlando Magic, Right now Draymond Green and Gary Payton II are coming back and will be playing for the Warriors and they don't have any injuries while Joe Ingles, Jonathan Isaac, and Markelle Fultz all are questionable if they can play for the Orlando Magic, for this game because of the return of Draymond Green and GP2 there will be a slight advantage with the Warriors defense now and with Trayce Jackson-Davis the Warriors defense can surely be tough now, so my pick for this game is the Golden State Warriors,

[ralle14]

In the top of the table match between OKC and Celtics, i'm taking the extra points with OKC. It's too good knowing three of their five losses at home have been within by four points or less. Even though OKC doesn't have the best record in covering at home as the underdog (2-2), I still think they'll have a good chance at covering when the Celtics aren't as great on the road(5-8).

I would say that the Pistons were just lucky against the Raptors because they are showing their real capability again. As much as possible, stay away from this team, or if you can't at least bet against them.

I agree the amount of luck yesterday was unexpected, as teams with newly traded players easily won despite being an underdog. The Pistons' loss was unfortunate when Cade couldn't convert most of his shots. Then again, it's still impressive that the Pistons held on until halftime before the Rockets pulled away in the third quarter.

Great catch, you were on the hottest team in the NBA now. After they defeated the Nuggets, it's not impossible to beat the Celtics at hom, and it happened.  OKC won by 4 points, but it was really the 3rd quarter run that gave them a very comfortable lead. As usual SGA took the lead and everyone played great basketball, OKC now is quite an underrated team, we might see them more often as underdog against a playoffs team.

[yahoo62278]

Damn Kings, wtf is wrong with them? 3 team parlay, bet 2 teams live Memphis and OKC moneylines. Those were the risky bets on the night but apparently Charlotte without Ball decided they wanted a win tonight. 16 point favorites and up 6 with 4 minutes or so to go and cannot get it done. Kings end up losing by 7 lmao.

Just goes to show ya, 1.05 odds and 16 point favorites doesn't guarantee anything.

[Questat]

LOL! Kings losing at home to Charlotte.

Did anyone here able to bet on Charlotte in this game?  Kings were -15 before the game, I'm sure the odds for moneyline on Charlotte is quite very attractive. What was the ML odds of Charlotte?

And... Warriors seemed to be winning this game, they are up 9 points with less than 3 minutes left. Slappy basketball for Magic.

[OgNasty]

I’m with you guys on the thoughts for tonight. The Kings had no business losing that game. Thats a few losses to teams they should have easily beaten in the last couple weeks. I might have to stop betting them to win for a while until they can get things figured out and get some consistency back in their game.

That's what they needed, although they are 6-4 on their last 10 games, and sometimes they win via blowout, it's just unacceptable to lose on a team that are even undermanned or one of the few who have a worst record on the leauge this season. Sacramento were in control of the game but they didn't play hard in the 4th resutld to a meltdown as they are outscored by 10 points.

Kings gonna be hosting the Magic tomorrow, both teams are on a back to back and Kings is -5 favorite, I guess this should be a no go.

That's a bad 1st and 4th quarter for the Sacramento Kings. Thankfully, I avoided that one. I only watched the full game of the Warriors versus the Orlando Magic. Damn, Gary Payton is hurt again but Steph Curry got so hot that most of his threes are sinking in the 4th quarter. The officials in that game keep on calling fouls, I guess they are the technical types who don't like little bumps. But Kuminga is the second one who contributed the most. From defense to offense, that young dude is certainly improving his game.

Philadelphia 76ers - Chicago Bulls - Philadelphia 76ers (-10.5)  - Covered. Won. Yey!
Oklahoma City Thunder - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-1.5) - Lost, Argh!
New Orleans Pelicans - Brooklyn Nets - New Orleans Pelicans (-3.5) - Won!
Memphis Grizzlies - San Antonio Spurs - Memphis Grizzlies (-10.5) - Did not cover. Lost.

2/4 + 1 for the Warriors live bet. Early 1st quarter while the Magic are dominating them.
Not good enough but I will take it. @ralle14 nice catch there betting for the OKC Thunder. Congratulations to all who won today.

[Dave1]

Happy New Year everyone!!

Just missed some bets this start of the year but it's all good.

Gonna be a good game between the Bucks and the Pacers again, seems this two have build up their rivalry already, so I will go with the underdog in Pacers at home currently @2.34 ML. And then OKC @1.81 against the Hawks ML as well. Just want to bet early so that in any case I stuck up later, my bets is already in although I could fall on the last minute changes as far those who are going to play or not.

Great decision picking the Pacers on their home court. On the last 3 games they played, it was on the home court of Bucks, and Indiana won of them, so playing at home infront of a huge crowd, this should inspire them more. I am gonna tail with you on this pick mate. About the OKC, I think I'll pass, I just bet bigger on Indiana, and this is just probably my bet for tomorrow.

[xLays]

Too many NBA games tonight (12 games). Can you guys post your pick for night games. Share the one you think is a sure win. Just want to tail on it. Can't decide which team to pick.
I can't decide which team I will pick. Today's NBA game is unpredictable, just like what happened to the Kings vs. Hornets last night. I can't imagine how the Kings lost to the Hornets with their healthy team and home court advantage. 🤦

That's basketball, or any pro sports you just never know.  With that being said I'm taking the Knicks-9 tonight.  Knicks playing a depleted bulls team who is playing the second game of a back to back.  I don't know what the under is but I think I'm gonna hit the under as well.  The other bet I'm looking at is pacers/bucks over 257.  These 2 teams run and gun when they play each other I expect a high scoring game here.
