NBA 2023-2024 betting

[rdbase]

Seems @Stadus is taking a break today, anyways let's do what we do best on this thread, make picks and get some money.

LA Clippers vs Phoenix Suns

Clipplers are with 38-19 for the season, Last game was a blowout win against the Grizzlies, after 3 consecutive losses. I forsee Clippers continuing tonight with the energy they showed in their last game. Also, there is no injury worries or any scheduled rest for Clippers as per Rotoworld and Flashscore.

My Picks

Clippers -6.5

I agree.  I think this lasy quarter of the season kawhi is gonna really start bringing the heat.  These guys know the season is a marathon and this is the part of the season the vets really get going.  I can see a 10+ point win in this game.  Good luck to you

10 points it is.  I'm gonna ride the clips into the playoffs then reassess then.  Ultimately I have denver at 25-1 to win the whole thing.  I honestly think if it lines up right the clips and the nuggets will play for the finals.  Unless they face each other before then

Very accurate prediction, Clippers did well and covered with this win. They have some solid contribution from Morris, and with this kind of distribution of points, I believe Clippers would do good in the playoffs. Was thinking Suns would cover but they are bad against a consistently good team.

I was watching the game between them and the celtics (late game) and they were just terrible. 14% shooting in the third quarter... whaaaaa!?
Was Booker even playing in this game? I didnt notice his name being mentioned at all for the times I was switching between the games.

I've no idea why the Celtics moneyline was valued so high yesterday against Utah. Absolute steal.

Jazz are having a nightmare month of February so far, after being the hottest team December through January.

Interesting stat (Utah's last 17 games) 4 wins in a row -> 5 losses in a row -> 4 wins in a row -> currently on 4 game losing streak. They play next in Washington and need to lose to keep that streak 4-5-4-5 alive.

Nice one you've got there, as for their game against Washington Wizards, I'm definitely gonna skip it as the they're currently offered at 1.18 for ML.


Another day(2 days) without @Stadus pick which is highly unusual, I hope all is well with him.

Eitherway we move on as usual, yesterday was good.

Tonight I'm going with 76ers against Knicks, there last performance against Cavaliers was rather unimpressive, and I believe that would change tonight even with Ben Simmons still absent, and Joel Embiid also sidelined.

My Pick

Philadelphia 76ers -6.5


Good luck!

[morvillz7z]

My Pick

Philadelphia 76ers -6.5

Last time you followed my parlay, my streak ended miserably with both of my picks going south, so today i'm returning the favor and will tail you on the Sixers spread. 

It's one of those days, i don't like the games we've got, i don't have time to check stats/research, i'm not going to watch any of the games, but i'm still going to make some bets....knowing damn well it won't hit. Ball is life lol

I've got OKC, Pacers, and Lakers win FH total odds 2.60

Nice hit with the nice odds. All the favorites ML hit on the 4 games available, but only 1 of 4 favorites covered, so ML is really a great pick.

Congratulations... looking for some bet to tail here.

[Botnake]

looking for some bet to tail here.

Tail my pick. 

We have a lot of upcoming games, I'm thinking if I could find a good combination for parlay.

For non parlay bet, the game that I like to bet are the game between the Clippers and the Nuggets.
Nuggets are given +5.5 here by the fully healthy clippers (yes, no injured player listed).

my bet here would go for the Nuggets @+5.5 and ML.

[Harkorede]

My Pick

Philadelphia 76ers -6.5

That makes it 2 in a row! I'll share my next pick soon

Congratulations... looking for some bet to tail here.

Unfortunately for him, this didn't  hit, his bet was on First Half (FH), probably as a measure  to get better odds as compared to ML, but OKC were trailing by 11 points at the end of the First Half.

My bad, I didn't read it clearly, I thought it was for the full game.
Anyway, I believe morvillz7z will bounce back and he will win on this next pick, 

@Harkorede, I'll check your pick,.. waiting for it.

[Harkorede]

So many games I would have love to pick from, but the lines are just too ridiculous in my opinion, It might be worth it to take some of the upsets available tonight.

After analyzing most of the games, I've decide to go with Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks
What could be worse than losing to Timberwolves while playing in your home court, It couldn't have been any worse for Heat, I'm convinced they'd bounce back against Mavs who are likely to be without Luka Doncic.

My Pick:

Miami Heat -2.5

Suns are playing decent but the clips are just too much to handle.  I would guess the last 20 games the clippers go 15-5 to finish off the season.  Clippers money line each game will be a good play unless the spread is 9+ points where it wont pay to bet it

I am riding on your pick, Heat is outstanding at home and I believe they can take care of the business here.

Just for people's information : Adebayo will not play. https://heatnation.com/team-news/miami-heat-bam-adebayo-listed-probable-mavericks/
while Doncic's is good to go,.. another good challenge by the heat here, just -2.5 at home, that's a great odds.

[morvillz7z]

My luck was rather too good for your bad intention  

I have to get even with you at some point, so i'm tailing your picks until you lose. Take two.

Aside from the Heat spread, i also have my 3-legged moneyline parlay on home team favorites.

Magic ML - T'Wolves win over the Heat was absolute stunner, do i expect them to win two in a row? Hell nah! Orlando needs this to keep that precious 8th seed.
Suns ML - Pistons beat them earlier this month but they still had Drummond and Reggie Jackson. They are now in full tank mode, 7 straight losses.
Clippers ML - 2nd seed vs 3rd seed should be a fun game but Clippers with full healthy roster are a scary team to play against.

total odds: 2.07

[Reid]

I am taking a lot of risks now.
Again, it is just my demon whispering in my ears.  

Clippers vs (my pick) Nuggets (3.15) Kind of being a Nuggets fan has something to do with this bet.  

Suns vs (my pick) Pistons (4.50) I don't really know why, just intrigued by how much they have given for Detroit.
Still have 30 minutes guys before this game start.

Edit: Kelly Oubre of the Suns will not play.

[morvillz7z]

<...>

I will throw 1 merit for each correct pick. If you get both...x2 so good luck.



I forgot to share but i also had NOP and MIL to win 1st Q, so far so good.
Raptors are down 11pts at the half against Charlotte (VanFleet and Ibaka are not playing), so a live bet at TOR ml is worth it imo.
Magic are having a hard time with Wolves, a few points lead late in the 3rd.

Feeling very sad as I miss parlay I was going with this pick and have from my friend Timbervolves over 235 both odds was very good and I was also going to put some money but my network goes down and I fail to place any thing but happy @Harkorede is doing very good job for members here on this forum congrats guys for this win.

[Harkorede]

My Pick:

Miami Heat -2.5

That makes it 3 in a row!  while we await @Stadus return

Miami Heat's inconsistency played out in 3rd quarter yet again where the lost their 9 points lead before the quarter and trailed by 5 at the end of the quarter, thanks to their 13 - 0 run early in the 4th to swing the game back in their favor.

My luck was rather too good for your bad intention  

I have to get even with you at some point, so i'm tailing your picks until you lose. Take two.

Oh man! Ironically, on your quest to get even with me, you could end up increasing your holdings by at least 1 BTC, Even if you're betting at the barest minimum, 'cos I don't plan on stopping any time soon.

Looks like a Detroits Piston's tonight is imminent!

Sorry for missing out, these things hsppen, but don't worry you'll get your fair chance again soon and thank you for the kind words 

[Reid]

Yeah!!!
That was some intense game. I was screaming my lungs out there.  
Rose was on fire at the last minute while in the end Booker made an error by making a fake shot @ 1.3 seconds.
You don't do fakes when the clock is that low. It should always be a catch and shoot.
Right decision for the officials.

I think I am going to lose the Wizards bet. Ergh!
Edit: I just did. 

[stadus]

Nice job @Harkorede and Read.


I'm back with my pick again.
I Like Rockets vs Boston, and I would pick Boston here to win @-1.5... I don't know but I think I have become a Rockets hater since they traded Capela. lol.


Good luck guys! @Harkorede , keep that streak alive, will yah?

[Botnake]

Welcome back @stadus... the match up that you pick seems both teams have 50/50 chance of winning, I am not sure there's a value on it, as a gambler it could be just choosing which team do you like to win, nothing else, and with that I am not tailing this one.

[Harkorede]

I'm back with my pick again.

Welcome back!  

I'll only be watching this match up, I'm eager to see how Tatum would fare tonight! I'm more leaning towards the Rockets here tbh

I have checked the games for today and I'm in for Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers, Cleveland cavaliers have indeed improved under Bickerstaff with 3 - 1, If I'm not mistaken and one of those win was against 76ers, However, I'm backing Pacers here on the road as they've also got a great streak going on.

My Pick:

Indiana Pacers -6
