NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Twentyonepaylots]

My today's parlay was a hit!

76ers MW
Hawks -3
Cavaliers -5
Warriors +3.5

The Philadelphia game was a little bit scary as the Wizards cut the lead in the fourth. I thought that they may eventually take the lead, knowing that they are wizards and sometimes they can win games. It is the same with the Hawks also; the Rockets cut the lead in the fourth; they cut the lead up to 8. But eventually Hawks prevail. On the other hand, the Cavaliers game is as easy as it gets. They beat the Raptors, 119-95. The Cavaliers are the hottest team right now, as they have a record of nine wins and one loss in their last 10 games. Also, they are in a nine-game winning streak as the second seed in the East. Everybody expects the Cavaliers to have a losing record when Garland and Mobley are injured. But Mitchell and the Cavs get it done.

And lastly, the game between the Warriors and the Suns was nerve-wracking. As they go back and forth, no team wants to give it up. Even though I do have a plus handicap, the Suns are still capable of making runs whenever they want. But the icing on the cake in that game was Curry's 3-pointer and also the game winner. I think he is really ready for that 3-point contest against Sabrina.

∆ J. Tatum 7+ rebounds / J. Tatum 4+ assists @1.78 ∆  won

Warm-up bet before the Super Bowl.

The Celtics with a chance to sweep the season series 3-0, a small revenge for falling to Miami in last year's Conference Finals.

Tatum had 7+ rebounds and 4+ assists in his prior two games against MIA this season, 7+ rebounds in 5/L5, and 4+ assists in 4/L5.

This looks good on paper, hopefully it hits.

∆ J. Tatum 7+ rebounds / J. Tatum 4+ assists @1.78 ∆  won

Warm-up bet before the Super Bowl.

Congratulations bro.
The games today were so early, I didn't even get a chance to bet. I am used to a game that starts at 8 AM in the morning in my timeline, super early games are very rare but not today. 

Anyway, here are my results from yesterday's game.

Los Angeles Clippers - Detroit Pistons - Los Angeles Clippers (-14.5) - Loss! That's why I didn't like this kind of spread.
Orlando Magic - Chicago Bulls - Orlando Magic (-2.5) - Win. Franz Wagner has been hot for 2 consecutive games with 30+ points in his stats.

Washington Wizards - Philadelphia 76ers - Washington Wizards ML - Loss! I don't know what is happening with Jordan Poole but it ain't good.
New York Knicks - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) - Win! Oh yeah! Haliburton at 30 minutes of play time. Finally.

Toronto Raptors - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Win!


and a bonus round.

Thank you, Steph Curry. That last shot almost buzzer-beater was so awesome that I stood in my seat and shouted in joy. Even my kids were surprised when I suddenly shouted. That was a fun game in San Francisco and would've been more fun if Kevin Durant could be a sport and shake hands with his former teammates but he went directly to the dugout. It's just a game.

[Baofeng]

I was able to get into the live between between OKC and Sacramento King, @2.0 here.

OKC is too strong in the first 2 quarters and even in the 3rd quarter where I bet, they've leave by more than 20 points. i was just lucky to be +18.5 as I'm seeing that Sacramento doesn't want to lose in a blow out game against their rival in the West.

And so they try to climb back, cut the deficit to 10 points in the 4th. But OKC can't be denied with SGA big 38 points.

[stadus]

Updated record 12-7 (63%) ---^{We had a profitable day...}

Okay, okay.. Another profitable day.  I almost had it perfect if Curry didn't hit the game winner.

Moving on while I'm stil hot.

Pick 1 - Heat +5.5 - win
Last time these two met Celtics had a blowout win, but now Miami Heat had figure out how to win, I guess it will be a close game.

Pick #2 - Kings +3.5 - loss
Both teams are healthy, the home team are playing back to back game and  had been blownout by the Dallas while the Kings had blownout the Nuggets at home. I will ride with the momentum of the Kings here.

Updated record 13-8 (62%) ---^{Not a profitable day (1-1). We need to get back to being profitable.}

Pick 1 : Bulls +4
They have been playing great lately, almost upset the Magic but fall short in the OT. Hope they'll finally get a win here.

Pick 2: Rockets +4.5
They are coming from a road trip where they didn't win a single game.
Back at home now, with 18-9 record, I think they'll at least cover here if they loss.

Pick 3 : Nuggets -1
Bucks had a dominant on their last game but against the Nuggets, I doubt.. I think they haven't figure out the right chemistry to win, so they are on a big test vs the Nuggets, and I don't want to gamble on them.

I don't like that kind of pick because I don't have a good experience with it. What I learn is, when it's too attractive, it usually disappoint me, good thing it work for you and you find it as an opportunity. I thought that Sacramento would be able to give OKC a real competition, but turns out they were just dominated and experience a blowout loss. It's really unpredictable, a team that is suppose to play better basketball after beating the defending champion at home is not playing competitive basketball on the road.

Based on stats, Sacramento has only 53% road record, while the top 3 are Cleveland, Boston and Wolves.

[danherbias07]

10 games later.

Here are my picks for today.

Charlotte Hornets - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-10.5) - Tyrese Haliburton is listed as questionable again, but I think the Pacers can still win this one, I just they can start great and blow it out in the process.

Cleveland Cavaliers - Philadelphia 76ers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - No Embiid, yes problem especially against the strong healthy Cavaliers.

Toronto Raptors - San Antonio Spurs - Toronto Raptors (-3.5) - The Raptors won their recent two consecutive games before being defeated by the Cavs. I bet they can also win this one.

Atlanta Hawks - Chicago Bulls - Atlanta Hawks (-3.5) - I trust the Hawks more than the Bulls. No Zach LaVine, Coby White, and Torrey Craig are probable to play, and Alex Caruso is also questionable.

Milwaukee Bucks - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML - Both Michael Porter Jr. and KCP are questionable for the Nuggets. Damian Lillard and Gianis are probable to play.

Houston Rockets - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-4.5) - Still no Randle and OG Anunoby for the Knicks. Alperen Sengun is questionable to play for the Rockets. That's big.

Memphis Grizzlies - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-10.5) - I hope they can cover this one. The Grizzlies can sometimes be surprising even without Ja Morant. Zion Williamson is questionable to play for the Pelicans.

Good luck everyone, have a great day.

∆ Mavs ML / D. Gafford 16+ PR @1.72 ∆  won

Gafford was recently traded from the Wizards to Dallas, and teams play each other today. I wouldn't call it a revenge game or anything, rather, it's a good spot for him against a WAS team that lacks big men, Marvin Bagley is not your traditional center.

Gafford finished with 19 points and 9 boards in just 17 minutes off the bench in his debut. I'd say it's a solid add by the Mavs, he gives them inside presence, athletic finishes around the rim, etc.  I won't be surprised if he gets extended minutes vs his former team and cruises past that 16+ PR line.

[Hypnosis00]

Pick 3 : Nuggets -1
Bucks had a dominant on their last game but against the Nuggets, I doubt.. I think they haven't figure out the right chemistry to win, so they are on a big test vs the Nuggets, and I don't want to gamble on them.

Congrats on the Bulls and Rockets pick mate..
That Rockets game almost went to OT. Refs called a foul on the last attempt, lol. That destroy the chance of the Knicks to win, a wasted efffort on the come back.

Bout the Nuggets, I thought this team is for rea, but they struggled again, loss already twice in a row in blowout. Can anyone tell me what's happening to this team so we can stay away from betting on them?

[stadus]

Updated record 13-8 (62%) ---^{Not a profitable day (1-1). We need to get back to being profitable.}

Pick 1 : Bulls +4 - win
They have been playing great lately, almost upset the Magic but fall short in the OT. Hope they'll finally get a win here.

Pick 2: Rockets +4.5 win
They are coming from a road trip where they didn't win a single game.
Back at home now, with 18-9 record, I think they'll at least cover here if they loss.

Pick 3 : Nuggets -1 - loss
Bucks had a dominant on their last game but against the Nuggets, I doubt.. I think they haven't figure out the right chemistry to win, so they are on a big test vs the Nuggets, and I don't want to gamble on them.

Updated record 15-9 (63%) ---^{It's a profitable day, we are (2-1)}


Let's continue.

Pick 1 : Magic +3.5
They won their last 2 games, the last game vs the Bulls went to OT but they still manage to win and cover. Later, they are hosting the OKC which beat them on their last meeting on the road, I think they are up for a revenge and will take the win. Magic remained to have a good home record with 17-7, I'm backing based on the stats.

Pick 2 : Suns -5
Sacramento hasn't been good on the road, while the Suns came from a loss vs the hot Warriors, I feel they're gonna bounce back strong at home.

Pick 3 : Bucks -8
Although Bucks are on a back to back game after a blowout win vs Denver Nuggets. I feel their confidence now is back after beating the defending champion. Miami is still playing without Butler, I see another double digit win by the home team here.

[danherbias07]

That was a bad night. I was surprised with the results of the games today.

Charlotte Hornets - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-10.5) - Loss! Shocking! The Hornets won!
Cleveland Cavaliers - Philadelphia 76ers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Loss! Another shock! The 76ers won without Embiid and Harris.
Toronto Raptors - San Antonio Spurs - Toronto Raptors (-3.5) - Loss! What the heck!
Atlanta Hawks - Chicago Bulls - Atlanta Hawks (-3.5) - Loss! The Bulls won by 10 points.
Milwaukee Bucks - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML - Loss! Blowout game!
Houston Rockets - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-4.5) - Loss! Wow!
Memphis Grizzlies - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-10.5) - Loss! Did not cover.

Wow! Perfect loss.  Yeah, that's me going crazy, laughing while crying. I cannot even tell what emotion I should pick. That might be the first time for me this season with that many bets. And I bet many gamblers lost their money at that time.

Later 6 games.
Here are my picks.
Brooklyn Nets - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-10.5) - Kristaps Porzingis is questionable to play. Cameron Johnson is out for the Nets.
Orlando Magic - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-1.5) - Hayward won't be playing yet for the Thunders.
Milwaukee Bucks - Miami Heat - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5) - No Butler, no Rozier, and Duncan Robinson is questionable. The Bucks will have Dame and Giannis.
Portland Trail Blazers - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-10.5) - After that big win against the Nuggets and getting a good rest in the 4th quarter, the Wolves might still be energized to play while their confidence is high.
Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings - Phoenix Suns (-3.5) - Number 6 against the number 7. This will be a good match to watch.
Los Angeles Lakers - Detroit Pistons - Los Angeles Lakers (-10.5) Trusting DLo to do the offense for the Lakers one more time.

Good luck everyone, have a nice day.

[OgNasty]

I like the Celtics to beat the Nets, Timberwolves to beat the Trail Blazers, and the Lakers to beat the Pistons tonight. The game I’m really excited to watch though, but won’t be betting on, is the Sacramento Kings vs the Phoenix Suns. Both teams are playing great so that will no doubt be a good matchup.

Yeah, just a hunch that the Kings might come back in this game and make it closer. And that's what really happens, they bring the lead down to single digits but it was not enough too, but good for gamblers who bet on them with that +18.5 or even lower.

How about the game last night?

Very difficult to predict as most of the underdogs have won the game. Houston playing tough against the Knicks and bet them. Dillon Brooks had a good game and then giving Brunson that shove, Lol, typical of Brooks. I'll go with Celtics vs Nets - Celtics -7.5 @1.79 and Wolves vs Portland - Wolves -7.5 @1.81. Best of luck.

[jakelyson]

I was too busy the last couple of months but right now I am returning to make my picks on the NBA and here is today's pick for the NBA games.

Brooklyn Nets VS Boston Celtics

The game will commence at Barclays Center the home of the Brooklyn Nets, now the odds are 3.95 for the Nets and 1.27 for the Celtics, now Thaddeus Young and Cameron Johnson can not play for the Nets, and Dariq Whitehead are out for this season, while Xavier Tillman, Jaden Springer, both can not play for the Brooklyn nets, and Kristaps Porzingis is questionable if he can play in this game because the Boston Celtics has a great winning and currently doing well right now It is hard to bet for the Brooklyn Nets right now so my pick is the Boston Celtics.

Orlando Magic VS Oklahoma City Thunder

The game will commence at Kia Center home for the Orlando Magic, the odds are 2.26 for the Magic and 1.68 for the Thunders, right now the Orlando Magic doesn't have any injuries, while Bismack Biyombo and Gordon Hayward have an injury right now and can not play for this game  

Phoenix Suns VS Sacramento Kings

The game will commence at the Footprint Center odds are 1.55 for the Suns and 2.52 for the Kings, right now Damion Lee can not play for the Suns, while Sasha Vezenkov can not play for the Sacramento Kings, Jordan Fordis questionable if he can play and Trey Lyles has unknown illness so he can not play, right now the Phoenix Suns might win this as they badly needed the win so my pick is the Phoenix Suns.

[Hypnosis00]

I like the Celtics to beat the Nets, Timberwolves to beat the Trail Blazers, and the Lakers to beat the Pistons tonight.

Celtics already won the game, I'm not sure if you bet on the point spread as they didn't cover the spread. About the Lakers, they are ahead now, might cover the spread but the Timbelwolves, it's quite close now as Portland were able to come back in the 2nd quarter.

The game I’m really excited to watch though, but won’t be betting on, is the Sacramento Kings vs the Phoenix Suns. Both teams are playing great so that will no doubt be a good matchup.

So far the Sacramento Kings are controlling the game with 11 points lead now, but just like their last meeting, no lead is safe since Suns were able to comeback that time even when they are down by a huge margin.

The Suns and Kings didn’t disappoint.

I just bet the winners of the games and not the spread. Looks like they all hit tonight, which is good because I also doubled up betting them all individually. The odds were admittedly not great, but a 3 game parlay hitting is always a good time.

11 points was the maximum lead the Kings had. The home team did came back though and won by 5 points only. Sacramento has their own run as well, but Booker and Durant did took over, especially Booker who started with poor shooting but finish by helping the team to get the W.

The turning piont here was the miss FT of Brooker that wasn't rebounded by Sacramento, if they were able to get that ball, they have a chance to tie with a 3 point shot since it was only a 3 point lead by the Suns.

It surely wasn't a disappointment both teams did their best and maintained close points with each other even though De'Aaron Fox got 40 points and Domantas Sabonis got another triple-double in this game the Sun's main players still got it in a close match, sure the Sacramento Kings needs to rotate their bench there might be a star player awaiting to shine than giving all the time to both Fox and Sabonis.

The 2nd half was the crucial moment for the Phoenix Suns and this is the part where they took the lead from the Sacramento Kings for sure De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis were the 2 players for the Kings that are highly active in making the score and all, but the Phoenix Suns have a mixed of players that can accompany one another if something bad happens like if Devin Booker got a slump on the 1st half then Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen did take over for the team I think this is something not unique with the Kings as if Sabonis or Fox could not play then they are in big trouble.


Here are the results of my picks I should have gone with the Multibet I was really lucky this time.

Brooklyn Nets VS Boston Celtics - WIN


Orlando Magic VS Oklahoma City Thunder - WIN


Phoenix Suns VS Sacramento Kings - WIN

[rdbase]

Has bets the other night for Cleveland to keep their winning streak alive but that ended at 9 with the 76ers loss.
Also had a betbuilder with San Antonio to beat the Toronto which they did and Wembly getting a tripe double.
That went bust as the Raptors didn't get enough points so it the over didn't hit.

Heard yesterday during the recap of those games the night before that Spencer Dinwiddie was going to the Lakers:
https://sports.yahoo.com/spencer-dinwiddie-finishes-first-practice-with-lakers-explains-decision-to-sign-011436647.html

Why such an old player from the Nets(who the Raptors waived on the trade) with Los Angeles coming back from begin 25-25 on the resurgence right before the All-Star break?
Heard this from the very same sports outlet covering the story with this trade and nearly fell out of my seat:
"If Dinwiddie's decision to sign with the Lakers pays off with a championship ring, he will be entitled to a $1 bonus.
That is correct. One whole dollar."

[danherbias07]

I am back. That was profitable for me.

Brooklyn Nets - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-10.5) - Loss! Did not cover. Nets had a good run and tried to have a close game but then Jaylen Brown went nuts and scored most of the 4th quarter. Tatum on the other hand had 31 points in the first half. Awesome!
Orlando Magic - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-1.5) Win! OKC is strong.
Milwaukee Bucks - Miami Heat - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5) - Loss! Damn Bucks. That was not entertaining at all and they are beaten by an undermanned team although the Heat bench don't want to hear that.
Portland Trail Blazers - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-10.5) - Win! Antman going crazy!
Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings - Phoenix Suns (-3.5) - Win! Just enough to cover the spread.
Los Angeles Lakers - Detroit Pistons - Los Angeles Lakers (-10.5) - Win! Lakers overpowering the Pistons.


I doubled my bet for the Lakers and the Timberwolves. Then I added the Over 210.5 and I put more money here because I was so sure it would hit .
Yeah, that felt good. I recovered that perfect loss yesterday.

Later, 13 games. Wow!
We have to be careful with the exhausted teams. I suffered from this many times.

Here are my picks.
Philadelphia 76ers - Miami Heat - Philadelphia 76ers (-3.5) - Miami Heat may have shown how strong their bench is today but that was an exhausting fight against the Bucks. The 76ers might have a chance to win this one even without Embiid and Harris. A well-rested bench against exhausted ones.
Charlotte Hornets - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks (-4.5) - The inconsistency of the Hawks is indeed frustrating but this is the Hornets, it should be easy.
Orlando Magic - New York Knicks - Orlando Magic (-1.5) - DiVincenzo and Hartensten are both questionable to play for the Knicks.
Toronto Raptors - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-1.5)
Boston Celtics - Brooklyn Nets - Boston Celtics (-11.5) - Them again but now on a different basketball floor. It's Celtics home this time.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Chicago Bulls - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5)
New Orleans Pelicans - Washington Wizards - New Orleans Pelicans (-10.5) - Zion questionable again. Argh.
Memphis Grizzlies - Houston Rockets - Houston Rockets (-1.5) - Van Vleet and Eason won't be playing and Bullock is questionable, so that's why it's just -1.5.

Going for live bets or before the game picks on the games left.
Good luck everyone and have a great day.
