NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Fredomago]

You nailed it right on the Warriors and Clippers, but Dallas ended up as a trap. Luka and Irving did play, but it still ended up as a blowout win by the Celtics. They won by 28 points, which is a big statement against a playoff team and clearly shows that their level now is higher than Dallas (Irving+Luka).

The Celtics utilized their consistent 3-point shooting, at 49%. Where was the defense from the outside?

You said it right and once that firepower start to materialize it's tough to beat the top seeded from the east, though Luka and Kyrie really did try to work together but still it's to heavy to carry when the team you are trying to beat is someone who have all the spice all together, and yes, both Warriors and Clippers managed to generate decent profits, time to move forward and again analyze the next games that you'll going to pick for your next bets.

Stadus has already moved forward with the new picks. However, I am a bit skeptical about the Heat and Suns due to the high spread. I'm going to tail on the Denver Moneyline since this team has been consistently winning on the LA Lakers' home court.

Actually, Denver already have 7 win streak vs this team, and their last 3 games results are as follows.

Feb 08, '24   114 - 106
Oct 24, '23 119 - 107
May 22, '23 113 - 111

WOW! That was one crazy win you got there congrats I have made a bet but it was 2 out of 3 last game I was OK with the results but with your bet that was really an amazing sight didn't a bet for today's game but I will make a bet later, but busy with something right now, anyway here is the results of my bet last February 29.

Congratulations to you too. But I still prefer a perfect day. 

Detroit Pistons - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Loss! Very close game. I need one more point.
Philadelphia 76ers - Charlotte Hornets - Charlotte Hornets (10.5) - Won! Thought so. Hornets will not just give it to them that easy.
Boston Celtics - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (10.5) - Loss! It was a close game in the first half and then the Celtics started making a big gap.
Toronto Raptors - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) - Won! My prediction was spot on, Kuminga was the one who did most of the damage. I am really glad for that young player, he is always stepping up his game and he is learning.
New Orleans Pelicans - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers ML @2.75 Loss! Like I said, it was a risky move.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Sacramento Kings - Minnesota Timberwolves (-4.5) - Loss! That's one heck of a game. I hope you all watched it.

2/6. Rough night.
Recovered my losses through this. Thankfully.


Just 5 games later. One game is starting in 4 hours as of the time of writing.
Here are my picks.
Brooklyn Nets - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks ML - Last time I trusted the Hawks I failed. I hope not today.
Miami Heat - Utah Jazz - Miami Heat (-5.5) - The Heat is deep on bench power. They will win this one.
Los Angeles Lakers - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML - No Jamal Murray is a problem, MPJ must step up his game. He had been playing in the worst shooting career in their past few games.
Phoenix Suns - Houston Rockets - Phoenix Suns (-10.5)

Good luck everyone. Have a nice day.

[OgNasty]

I'm going with the Miami Heat beating the Utah Jazz and the Phoenix Suns beating the Houston Rockets today.  Nothing too surprising and probably not worth the bet even as a parlay, but I wasn't feeling the matchups today.  Good luck!  Enjoy your weekend!

I was tempted to throw the Denver Nuggets in there beating the Los Angeles Lakers, but the spread was so close it had me thinking that I must be missing some information about the game (injuries, etc.). 

[wheelz1200]

Crashed and burned yesterday.  Took another 4 games tonight:

Dallas on the road +4.5. I hate betting against clevland at home but think kyrie matches up well and should have a dominant night.  30+ points.

Celtics -11.5 against the sixers.  At home and without embid they look lost.  If the Knicks beat them up with their b squad the Celtics should wipe the sixers tonight.

And I can't believe it but I bet Warriors on the road.  I hate betting them on the road but playing against the Wizards I think they will smell blood and take this one down knowing it's a must win from here on out against the lower teams.  Warriors -10.5

Enjoy the games and good luck!

Nail all 3 last night needed a big night.  The ending to the cavs game was crazy.  So glad I didn't take the money line that would have hurt bad to lose on a 60 foot shot to win by 1 lol.  Think after that they go and route Toronto tonight.  I usually never bet on a team on a back to back but tonight is different.  Taking Dallas on the money line and calling it a night

Figured Dallas would take care of business after that bad loss.

Tonight's games:

Bucks -11.5 away at Charlotte.  Charlotte is just terrible.  Maybe they don't cover but I have to bet the Bucks here.

Can't bet against my knicks usually but how can't I here.  Golden state -4.5 and brunson might not play again.  Topped with 3 other starters out and you have a bench squad who won't compete against the dubs starters.

Last give me the Nuggets-4.5 at home.  Heat on a west coast trip and a tight spread.  Think Denver takes this one here.

Good luck and enjoy the games people.

Another clean sweep making it 6 for 6 last six games.  Skipped last night.

Here's my 3 games I took tonight:

Jazz +9.5 against the heat on the road.  This seems like a low scoring tight game.  They will likely lose bit not by double digits me thinks.

Suns -8.5 at home against Houston.  Suns are just too strong for Houston and pull away late.

And give me the over on that game.  233.5. I can see this one ending to the tune of 131-117 type of game.

Good luck and enjoy the games everyone!

I was tempted to throw the Denver Nuggets in there beating the Los Angeles Lakers, but the spread was so close it had me thinking that I must be missing some information about the game (injuries, etc.). 

It was really tempting but it looks like a trap. Looking at the injury report of the Nuggets , there are only 2 main players that are not possibly playing.

Caldwell-Pope - Ques Sat - Personal
J. Murray - Ques Sat - Ankle

if Murray will be out, that would be a huge one, and Lakers will be taking advantage on it especially that they have been doing pretty well in their last 10 games which they have a 7-3 record.

Lakers been on a heater and looking to make a push before the playoffs start. No way I would be against them right now. Denver with Murray out is like you said, huge, and gives the advantage to the Lakers.

That's another factor to consider, but we can always confirm if he is really out because, as per reports, he is still "questionable," so is LeBron actually. But he'll probably play, as he can't miss this game playing against the defending champion. The Lakers are really not in a safe standing now. If they want to be in the playoffs automatically, they should be at least at number 6, but now they are at number 10, which will only qualify them for the play-in.

I understand if some would sit this game out. It's just hard to bet against a desperate team that needs a win in every game.

With Murray out this is a tough bet.  Denver is still great without Jamal and Lakers have a tough time matching up with joker.  I couldn't decide either way on this one.  I'm actually looking at the over under and thinking on taking the over 227.  It's on national television so lebron is definitely playing and you are gonna see another big night from him.  Haven't seen the lines but I'm probably going to take the over on his points his rebounds amd his assists.  Most likely he will hit on at least 2 of those 3.

You have won your bet if you bet on the over. The line on the total was 230.5, but the total score is 238, so it's a win. Regarding Jokic's performance, he had a great night with 35 points and 10 rebounds, the typical Joker we are seeing who is still unstoppable. Davis could not contain him, and Davis only delivered 17 points with 11 rebounds.

[stadus]

Updated record 24-24 (50%)

Back to 50%, still not profitable now. So let's keep grinding....

1-Denver ML - win
It was all Denver in the last 3 meetings, so there's no reason to fade the Denver here. Murray btw is questionable, but hopefully he'll play.

2-Miami Heat -7.5 - loss
Utah Jazz keep their curse not playing well on the road, so Miami Should have a home win after a long road trip, and hopefully they will cover the spread

3-Suns -9.5 l loss
I think we will see the same outcome, Suns will win but this time will cover.

Updated record 25-26 (49%)

Denver ML got it but loss on Miami and Suns. Let's keep moving with new picks for later games.

1-Dallas -8
Back at home and came from a blowout loss to the Celtics, I think they'll give that kind of recipe to the undermanned visiting team.

2-Clippers +1
Westbrook is out but the big 3 starter is complete. Based on their previous games, wolves have 4 win streak against the Clippers, I guess it's time to break that.

3-OKC -4.5
Booker might not play due to injury and they are on a back to back game. I like the well rested OKC here.

4-Cleveland -5.5...

[danherbias07]

Brooklyn Nets - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks ML - Loss! Damn Hawks, I don't want to bet for them anymore, always a failure.
Miami Heat - Utah Jazz - Miami Heat (-5.5) - Won! Strong Miami. Jimmy Buckets is a monster.
Los Angeles Lakers - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML - Won! Looks like MPJ heard his critics. Now, he didn't miss any shots. Very good.
Phoenix Suns - Houston Rockets - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) - Loss! That's one heck of a big upset. Suns cannot find their three-point shooting. Good defense from the Rockets. I hope Booker is okay.

2/4. Just a split.

8 games later.
Here are my picks.
Dallas Mavericks - Philadelphia 76ers - Dallas Mavericks (-7.5) - I won't be going for the -10 because I don't want to underestimate the Philly bench even without Embiid. Tobias Harris went nuts against the Hornets scoring 31 points. He might do it again.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers ML - This will probably be the main event of the evening. Westbrook is out because of what happened last time (hand fracture) and Zubac is questionable to play.
Boston Celtics - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (13.5) - Steph Curry is questionable to play. This will be tough without him around so I will take that +13 and hope Kuminga will try and keep the game close.
Orlando Magic - Detroit Pistons - Orlando Magic (-10.5)
Toronto Raptors - Charlotte Hornets - Toronto Raptors (-4.5)
Cleveland Cavaliers - New York Knicks - Cleveland Cavaliers (-3.5) - Spreads are low because Mitchell and LeVert are still questionable to play.
San Antonio Spurs - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-4.5) - The Spurs could sometimes be surprising, that should be enough spreads.

Good luck everyone. Have a good day.

∆ J. Tatum 8+ rebounds / J. Tatum 2+ 3pts @1.60 ∆  X

I only have one play, which is on Jayson Tatum, the birthday boy. I couldn't react quickly enough to the Porzingis news, so the odds aren't as attractive, but i do still like the bet.

Tatum has grabbed double-digit rebounds in the last three games for the Celtics with Porzingis out, and he has 8+ rebounds in 7/L10, while Golden State has given up the fifth most rebounds per game /L3.

Warriors have limited opponents to just 30% shooting from deep (best in the league /L3), but Celtics take a shit ton of threes, and Tatum has volume (nearly 10 3pt attempts per game /L10), which i believe will offset GSW's good percentage.

Yep I got the over last night but only hit on 1 of the lebron props.  Hit the over on assists but lost on his points which he barely missed and his rebounds.  Taking a look at tonight I'm gonna take:

Rapters -7.5 at home.  Against Charlotte they match up well and shoukd take this one e down

And I like the Pacers on the road against the Spurs.  -6.5 on the road but again Hali should be able control this game.

Haven't figured out the rest of my bets that's what I got in so far today.

[OgNasty]

I was surprised to see the 76ers beat the Mavericks. Not only covering the massive spread but winning… The Mavs haven’t been playing well suddenly. This would’ve paid off pretty well if you had some faith in the Sixers. I thought the Timberwolves and the Mavericks would be good picks today. The Timberwolves aren’t disappointing so far at least.

Bettors are probably leaning on the Mavericks as the 76ers have been struggling after they loss Embiid. However, this is quite surprising as they beat the Mavericks, so from now on, I will no more under estimate this team as they had already adjusted not Having Embiid.

For the Mavericks, they need to make a major adjustment as after a good win streak, looks like the opposite is happening now.

I thought the Timberwolves and the Mavericks would be good picks today. The Timberwolves aren’t disappointing so far at least.

They could have forced the game into overtime, but the game plan wasn't solid. Instead, they opted for a 2-point shot with 3 seconds left in the game and ended up losing by 1 point. With two straight losses, they should aim to bounce back next time. It as a low scoring game so looks like a playoff game.

1-Dallas -8 - Loss

2-Clippers +1 win
Westbrook is out but the big 3 starter is complete. Based on their previous games, wolves have 4 win streak against the Clippers, I guess it's time to break that.

3-OKC -4.5 win
Booker might not play due to injury and they are on a back to back game. I like the well rested OKC here.

4-Cleveland -5.5... loss

Updated record 27-28 (49%)

Clippers +5
Back to back game for the Clippers after a big win in Minny. Now they'll play the well rested Bucks who are in a 5 winning streak.
Bucks might continue the win streak but I'm hoping they'll loss on the spread.

OKC+1
This team is gonna keep rolling, so I'm still riding them.

Jazz -6.5
After losing all the road games, I think they are set to bounce back at home where they are good at. A blowout win is expected here.

[danherbias07]

Dallas Mavericks - Philadelphia 76ers - Dallas Mavericks (-7.5) - Loss! Wow! Tobias Harris, I was right that he could go nuts again. 28 points.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers ML - Win! Thankfully I took the moneyline only. That was one heck of a battle of defense and bad three-point shooting. 
Boston Celtics - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (13.5) - Loss! It was an early blowout game. Sad.
Orlando Magic - Detroit Pistons - Orlando Magic (-10.5) - Win!
Toronto Raptors - Charlotte Hornets - Toronto Raptors (-4.5) - Win! Just the exact spreads. Lucky!
Cleveland Cavaliers - New York Knicks - Cleveland Cavaliers (-3.5) - Loss! A bad night for the Cavs. They need Mitchell or LeVert back.
San Antonio Spurs - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-4.5) - Loss! Not again. Damn, I have been losing my bets against the Spurs.

3/7. Bad.

6 games later.
Here are my picks.

Brooklyn Nets - Memphis Grizzlies - Brooklyn Nets (-10.5) - No Cam Thomas and Simmons for the Nets but I hope they can cover that spread.
Milwaukee Bucks - Los Angeles Clippers - Milwaukee Bucks (-3.5) - Exhausted Clippers without Westbrook to lead the second team. The Bucks should win this one.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Portland Trail Blazers - Minnesota Timberwolves (-12.5) - I bet they are also exhausted too, but they will let out their frustration here after that defeat against the Clippers.
Utah Jazz - Washington Wizards - Utah Jazz (-3.5) - 3 losing streak for the Jazz. They need this win. Markkanen and Kessler won't be playing but Sexton might dominate this game.

Good luck everyone. Have a great day.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

My bets will go against the majority here,



But I'm picking LA Clippers here to give Bucks a good game and maybe win and make an upset against the Bucks in their homecourt.

Giannis (left Achilles tendinitis) is reported as questionable in tonight's game, Khris Middleton is out (left ankle sprain). So I will take that risk on LA to win if Giannis will not able to play.

As incredible as it may seem, the same for me!

I believe that if Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn't play, the Clippers chances of winning increase significantly (even though Westbrook won't play because of his hand injury).
Anyway, it will be an interesting and fierce game to watch.
