NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Ziskinberg]

I had quite a really profitable night yesterday but I couldn't share it on the thread...

There are so many games lined up for today so picking just one is really hard, but I've however decided to go with Milwaukee Bucks -6.5 vs Boston Celtics...

I'll be adding my player props soon

Milwaukee Bucks despite having almost all the lead in the world during game they were on the brink of losing the game and couldn't cover the -6.5 spread.

Congratulations to @stadus and everyone who won their bets.

This was so easy, no big 3 for the Nets and other starters are not even playing with heavy minutes, it looks like they gave the bench to earn more minutes so and they have already anticipated the result of this game, I would say too easy, nice pick @stadus, worth a ride.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Philadelphia 76ers.
My pick: 76ers -5.5
Joel Embiid is out and Danny Green questionable but Simmons and Harris should suffice to defeat a shorthanded Lakers.
With their 3rd losing streak, will they ever recover again from this mess? Someone should step up their game big time.

That's an easy pick indeed Nets starts are all resting and seems that coach Nash gives some break for the entire team.

Congrats to all who followed stadus for this pick, another great odd for all of you.

Seems good if Lakers continue to struggle this handicap can easily covered by Sixers, though  sometimes it's also tricky once Laker players

start to get the rhythm and keeps on taking the charges. Good Luck!

I don't know what to bet anymore and I don't know who to bet anymore.

Last day have been like a storm for my tickets as no matter what I took it ended up as a loose as last night per example I had Bulls to win and Grizzlies and I don't know how a team like Bulls can loose to Cavs especially when they need a lot of points to prove that they are for real and they deserve the play offs. What did they do today ? They took Vucevic who is one great player and I'm glad Bulls moved as soon as they saw they need a scorer and a defender on same time.

[stadus]

My pick for tonight's game.

Game :  Philadelphia at L.A. Lakers

Laker's on a 2 losing streak already, while 76ers is still doing great even without Embiid, so you know the drill, go with the better team as I believe the odds presented are just fair, I'm seeing a win by the 76ers here spread will be covered at the same time.

Therefore my pick is Philadelphia 76ers -5.5... Good luck everyone.

I'm with you, the Denver game looked like a lock and ended up being the most lopsided win of the year for Toronto and biggest loss for Denver lol go figure.

Welp tonight I'm riding the ML with the knicks.  They looked great against the wiz the other night and hope they can repeat the performance.  Only problem is I dont see them containing beal like they did last game.  Oh well here we go lol.

As a team, NYK is better than the Wizards, but don't forget about Westbrook too, if both Westbrook and Beal will have a great game here, I think they can also win, but they are on the same venue, so probably same result as the last game, NYK is definitely a good pick.

I'll be riding on this train, I also expect Lakers' struggle to continue even though is also almost as influential to the 76ers teams as James is to Lakers this season, Lakers aren't used to playing with their best man.

I've got a player props on the same fixture, with pnts+ asst+ reb - T. Harris 25+ Player,  reb - B. Simmons over 4.5, reb - K. Kuzma over 5.5, pnts - 76ers over 99.5, pnts - Lakers over 97.5

[ralle14]

Count me in on that Sixers spread, I went against the Lakers on their last game and doing it again since they're looking dire without their two main players. My only worry here is that Sixers nearly lost their last game against the Warriors while having a 20 point lead at one point, hopefully this time they stabilize and hold on to their early leads.

I don't know what to bet anymore and I don't know who to bet anymore.

After seeing so many upsets recently I sometimes ask the same questions myself and made some changes on my betting style by sticking to one bet at a time so it wouldn't be that punishing on my bankroll if I lose and only pull the trigger if i'm confident on it.

Edit : Another close call, thought the Sixers are going to blew it but luckily the Lakers missed in the last minute.

[danherbias07]

Congratulations to us who all bet against the Lakers. 
A sudden change on events. Before it was Lakers who will get the upper hand of bets and now flipped over.

Last minute trade:
Look out for the Heat as they now acquired Victor Oladipo in exchange for Avery Bradley and Olynyk.
They lose against the Trail Blazers today but next time they meet I am sure it will be different.

Well covered game by the sixers Danny Green and Seth Curry did an amazing game today.

Leading the team in scoring, both players performed and really help a lot to snatch this one against the Lakers, it's another fall for the lakers, without LeBron and AD they are not really getting the chemistry they are now 2 games away from the Denver.
In regards to Heat, adding Oladipo  is a good he's a good scorer which they needed from the rotation, aside from butler to attack Victor
is good to do the same.

They are on the back to back games, so they will face each other again.

The lost was very close though, if not for Ariza fouling Lillard attempting a 3, the game could go into overtime and the outcome could be different. Another heartbreak for me as I put a bet on "YES", the game will go into OT @9.5 odds. Well if Lillard shot when it, then Portland won, however, the foul was not needed, big mistake by Ariza.

I thought there was no foul, but when a replay was made, clearly it was a foul, I'm thinking if he did not foul that shot, that 3 point shot might still go in, so it's the same but better chances if Ariza did not foul it.

I bet on the Heat, so that was not cool.

Miami +2

Ouch! that hurts. I really thought it was a clean defense too.

Toronto Raptors vs Phoenix Suns.
My pick: Phoenix Suns -5.5
After the trade of Powell, chemistry of this team will not be in sync.
Suns might even make a blowout game against a messed up Raptors.
Adding Under 227.5 assuming Raptors won't find their offense with their new team mates.

I won both bets! Kuzma is stepping up in a big fashion for the Lakers, though, but it's not going to be enough.

Thanks to @Stadus and congratulations other winners.

[boltz]

I will go tonight with Miami, Pelicans and Pacers to win as I have high confidence that all 3 of them will make a great game and scoring a lot of points.

Miami really needs a win and last night they were so close because at some point they were 10 points above in Q4 and they still lost

Pelicans are on rampage lately and Denver are into a bad team mood and I doubt the 3 points shots will safe them

Pacers who are desperately looking for a win to boost the team morale as this guys have a great team that deserve to play a decent run in play-offs and Luka Doncic is not playing tonight and this is the most important factor for me to choose Pacers.

They need to start winning, otherwise people are correct that without Lebron they will continue to loss and their ranking will go down.
As we can see, that 4 losing streak land them now in the number 4 spot (https://ph.global.nba.com/standings/)

Thanks to @Stadus and congratulations other winners.

I think its 2 in a row.

you're welcome @Harkorede .. Maybe @Vaculin .


My pick tonight.

Game : Bucks vs Celtics

Boston is a struggling team, they badly need a win here and if they fall short, I'm thinking that they might cover the spread.
Last meeting, Bucks won but Celtics covered, so I'm expecting the same if Celtics loss.

Therefore my pick is Celtics +6...Good luck everyone.

[morvillz7z]

Congrats, Celtics not only covered but they won pretty convincingly.

I got pretty lucky with my only bet of the night, Suns covered the spread by just 1 point. I also decided to cut down the number of bets now around after the trade deadline until things settle down, a lot of trades, player movement...will give it a few days rest.

I will be on the lookout to tail a few picks here in this thread since i will be busy watching the NCAA tournament over the weekend. Gl, guys!

That's nice. Congratulations. They actually won with a huge lead and not letting the Bucks to come back at the 4th quarter. Payback.  
I loss my bet once again by 2 points.   Suns didn't cover. 3rd losing streak now. I should stop underestimating teams with new players after the trade.

Exactly. Surveying the influence of the traded players first before making a bet later.
