NBA 2023-2024 betting

[chaser15]

So we are all on board with the Blazers tonight huh? I hope they won't mess this up, they are fresh while Raptors are playing 3 games in 4 nights, that must be a lot of energy lost, fatigue factor is the reason why they won't win and Blazers will dominate them. I hope our instinct is correct though.

Blazers will take this game but I'm not sure if they can cover the -5.

Raptors even struggling did a good job on their last 2 games, short by 1 point against GSW and a won against the Kings in a large lead. Blazers also took the Kings in a large lead so that ends up in a wild guess on my side.

Both teams are healthy although even Blazers Zach Collins got injured weeks ago. Blazers on their remaining lineup are still good as a whole.

Get them bets while you can because we might see the league being paused for a week or two:

NBA considering a 7 to 14 day pause amidst the growing rate of positive cases within the league.
The NBA brass & GMs will meet virtually today or tomorrow to reconsider safety protocols. The league wants to avoid a pause but it is on the table.

I don't particularly like what i picked for today but i just couldn't find anything better, if i don't get a 2/1 split i might have to work on the late games, seems like Blazers are the popular pick?

https://i.ibb.co/xGc1t3M/sthhtsd.png won
https://i.ibb.co/6cQXggs/dtahg.png lost
https://i.ibb.co/qrgFnLT/hjkfk.png lost

^ summed in just a few words, i need good games from M.Bridges, Hachimura, D.Brooks, and J.Randle

if i don't get a 2/1 split i might have to work on the late games

sac/ind went through nicely to break even on the day: https://i.ibb.co/RNHtc7p/fgjhfhy.png

Did they postpone some of the games already?
I didn't get the updated news yet.

Sorry for the loss for those who bet at Portland -5. They didn't cover it.
A low scoring game for the Cavs and Grizzlies again. Damn, I thought they could at least cover 206.5.

Looks like its already happening.

Two Mavs starters — Dorian Finney-Smith and Josh Richardson — and Jalen Brunson sat out last Saturday’s 112-98 win over the Orlando Magic because of health and safety protocols. And a fourth player, Maxi Kleber, was listed as questionable for tonight’s game due to health and safety protocols.

We all know what "health and safety protocols" mean.

Bulls v Celtics has been postponed. Celtics apparently don't have enough players if the game were played. So, they just postponed it.

They didn't cover, but Blazers are good to be able to come back and win the game. Unfortunately it doesn't matter as what matter is to win.
CJ gave them a go ahead basket, and while for the Raptors, it's Siakam again who take the last shot and it didn't go in.

Siakam had a solid night, but it didn't help them to win.

1) bucks/magic under 225.5
2) knicks +4.5
3) suns/wizards over 231
4) Portland -5
5) bucks -5.5

Good luck to everyone today.  Go knicks

Edit:dallas/pel game is postponed

Went 3-2 last night to bring my week up to 11-8 over the past 4 nights.  Will check out today's games and come back with today's 5 picks.

[Harkorede]

The game I really was looking forward to and have might bet on for tonight was Pelicans vs Dallas Mavericks, but the game has been postponed as well.

I've decided to play around on this (Blazers vs Toronto Raptors)

I knew my bet was already a lost cause when Jusuf Nurkic had concussion and couldn't return to the game after just 8 minutes played.

1) nets, den over 230.5
2) miami +9
3) Lakers-5.5
4) GS -3
5) gs, pacers over 227.5

I'm down for the Lakers game but I'm going with -3.5 @1.73 because I want Lakers to easily cover the spread against Rockets tonight. While for Miami game, my opinion is 76ers -6.5 @1.58. I'm tipping 76ers to win this one because they have had 3 losses in a row and are looking to get a comfortable win at home tonight despite growing health concerns. Other than that, I'm good with your other picks. If I don't go with sixers  win, I'm sticking with over 210.5 points. Goodluck everyone.

I don’t really like your #4 & #5 but maybe I’m underestimating the GS Warriors, who have looked pretty decent lately. I would normally hate your #2 pick, but I think the 6ers are still playing with a skeleton crew so that might be a good bet.

I knew my bet was already a lost cause when Jusuf Nurkic had concussion and couldn't return to the game after just 8 minutes played.

The only downside to these 'player prop' bets is injuries, i had one with Bogdanovic not long ago, it sucks when it happens!
By the way, Nurk had a leg injury, not concussion.

I only have two bets for today, it is becoming increasingly difficult to shop for good lines though, either spreads are too high with very low odds or players i want to bet on are not available due to whatever protocols NBA has in place right now. I might switch back to 1Q/1HF bets soon.

Allen O7.5 reb + Durant 35+ pts/reb/ast + Harris 15+ pts/reb/ast total odds 1.86 lost

Osman 15+ pts/reb/ast + Conley O3.5 assists + O'Neale O3.5 rebs + Mitchell 1+ assist (1st Q) total odds 2.10 lost

I quite agree with you on the problem of getting good lines, that's why it has been really so easy and helpful to just follow @stadus picks... 

Good luck with your bets,  I would have followed suit on your Brooklyn Nets' Prop bets, but I just blew all my balance on Sportsbet. However, myself I've gone with just props on 76ers vs Heat and Lakers vs Houston Rockets (again) https://i.imgur.com/lD0kxCN.png

[ralle14]

I'm with you guys on the Lakers but instead of the spread i'll just go for them straight up to win now that the odds swung up from 1.4 to 1.6.

Good luck on your Lakers bet, they won last time in the same venue, so there's no reason they can't do that again. I'm just worried about how the line was being moved, from +6.5, now it's only +4.5 for the Rockets, I smell fishy in this game. 

I guess the public prefer taking the plus points since some of their games end up being close and maybe they're due for a loss since they're the only team that haven't lost a road  game.

In the beginning of the year I was fading golden state but they are playing feisty this year.  Looks like they are playing with a chip on their shoulder.  Underdog role, I never underestimate steph and what he can do.  And I haven't watched the pacers much (just once against the knicks) but the added trip over to the west coast and a tight line im digging it.  And just in case pacers catch fire I'm dragging in the over.

Edit: Heat didn't play Jimmy b or bam.  Uhg but 4 minutes left they are hanging in there

[Harkorede]

Edit: Heat didn't play Jimmy b or bam.  Uhg but 4 minutes left they are hanging in there

Even without their top starters The Heat still played extremely well and far beyond expectations, Tyler Herro performance was surreal, but great game from Danny Green (I wished he could have the 10th 3-pointer, for franchise record) and Embiid as well.

Oh well, I hit one (https://i.imgur.com/jakF1y1.jpg)of my props for tonight, but I'll be need a 30-points 4th Quarter from Rockets to make it 2 of 2 for the night.

Herro lifts the heat but short in the last dying seconds, if that shot was made they might win the game.

In the other side the last 3 point was crucial for the Sixers good thing that Green get that rebound and pass it to Mathias, the only points that this guy have but very important to win this game. Great escape snatching this one at home.

Oops. Looks like Ben Simmons and Joel Embid got approved to be back in the lineup. Great game. Somewhat a surprise Philly was able to pull out a win.

Old school Danny Green did it again.
They did not even let him rest for a minute.  Whoever bet for 9 3-point field goal made is a big winner now. If ever that existed in the line.
How about Embiid? 45 points, 16 rebounds. Monster game for him too especially in that 3rd quarter. He was really hot.

Great effort for the young Heat too without Butler in the game. Herro showcased the future of Miami.
I didn't put any bet last night. I thought some games will be postponed again.

I was thinking it's not gonna be a close game but the Heat were able to make it close, they even almost win the game if not for some bad mistake. Anyway game is over, Sixers win but Heat covered.

[Harkorede]

There is much more games to pick from tonight compared to the past two-four days, I've got Trailblazers -3.5 against Sacramento Kings for tonight as my main bet... However, my ambitious BetBuilder as usual is on Hornets vs Mavericks and Piston vs Milwaukee Bucks
