NBA 2023-2024 betting

^^ It's number 3 seed Bucks against number 6 Heat. And then in the regular season, Bucks won 2 out of 3. And maybe this is where the bookies get their odds in the beginning. But I do agree that Miami Heat might offer a tougher game against the Bucks. Heat are battle tested, they've reach the finals last year and push the Lakers.

So it might be good to throw some on Heat's side on the first game and maybe they can steal one.

Cheers to stadus for the Grizzlies pick. I just won the over score thanks to overtime. That was some great game we experienced there and it almost looked like a Finals game.   The real cheering on the background have some impact.

Now, the question for everyone. Will the Heat repeat last year? We don't really know. It's actually different right now as there were fans now to cheer and because of that the homecourt advantage should be considered again. Then Bucks mentality, revenge.
I pick Bucks -4.5.

Very tough to decide here but yeah unlike the bubble this homecourt advantage counts, I just do hope that Giannis is more matured now, with the help of Holiday, Middleton and Tucker this is another chance for them to move forward to the next round.

But in the other side, Heat always got something to surprise the fans. Butler  with  Bam, Herro and the rest of the squad will surely give a hard time for
Bucks

[Russlenat]

As expected, it's a close game, it's not over yet but if Bucks wins the game, Heat might likely cover the spread.

Nice call @cryptomaniac_xxx and @stadus.

edit: Damn! Butler does it again, OT time!

[freedomgo]

It's just a 2 points win by the Bucks, playoffs start is very interesting. I was not able to put a bet on this one because it's too early, I don't want to put a bet without watching it, this is playoffs, I'll make an exemption. Currently playing is the Clippers vs Mavericks, Leonard and Luka had had some good offensive nights thus far. I'll keep watching, I'll maybe put my bet after the first half, might go with Dallas here if they'll convince me.

Yeah, Heat were able to cover the spread, Giannis biggest flaw(free throws) got the better of him today, again and probably casting a shadow over is impressive stats.

The game was such an eyesore offensively imo, especially in the fourth quarter, but thanks to Jimmy Butler forcing OT otherwise I would have lost my bet.

Yes a very intresting and tough game. But bucks snatch the win and are opening the series with a win. They will probobly go to the next round have a better team but today they struggled. Also dallas match against clippers will be pretty rough probobly a 7-8 matches in this series for both teams in this duel

Credit to the defense of the Bucks, they seemed to have improved this playoff, I didn't see this kind of balance the last time. Also, it's a good coach's decision to let Middleton take the last shot rather than Giannis as he is easy to predict.

Also dallas match against clippers will be pretty rough probobly a 7-8 matches in this series for both teams in this duel

It's expected, both teams playing at a high level, both have stars, will be a close series as well IMO.

[spartaneca]

I feel pretty good about betting the Lakers on this series, and maybe going big on game 1 with a Lakers victory.  I really don't think the Suns have a chance whatsoever (they're my home team ) and would be surprised if they take a single game against the defending champs.

Go ahead, mate. Lakers in 6. Suns is overhyped just because they clinched the 2nd spot in the competitive Western Conference.

Waiting for good odds movement on a Series match. I will surely bet on the Lakers if I found the odds is interesting.

At the same time, I will also bet on a per-game basis but depends on the situation.

I posted in the other NBA group and I will challenge you or if someone else wants - 500 usd for the Suns beating Lakers in the series. If you or someone else decide to step against me i am ready for bet

[stadus]

I got an early winner, I use to follow the one game only but I will make it two tonight, lol...

I just can't help myself but bet because I see some opportunity betting on the Portland vs Denver game.
We know that Murray is already out for the season, and they have some players who are still not playing until now.

I just like to take chances, maybe Denver will struggle at home, so I'm taking the Portland ML here. Good luck!

[wheelz1200]

All in on the second half over in the Dallas game.  I can see this one ending up over 250 total points.  127-123 total is my prediction.  Dallas wins the first of a 6 or 7 game series.  Luka becomes a superstar this playoffs and kristaps slugs into just a role player.

I pick Bucks -4.5.

I was tempted to take the bet on Warriors because I thought they would be able to cover the spread and their performances prior to the game hasn't been that bad so it seemed like the logical choice. So I ended up not going with stadus's pick nor Warriors because I wanted to see how they'd perform. Two quarters in and Warriors were behind Grizzlies and never recovered.  

As for Bucks vs Heat game, Bucks is my pick. Heat might be a team to reckon with last year but their performances this season hasn't been convincing and they won by a tight spread against heat.

Nice! The Overtime in Grizzlies and Warriors game last night saved my day too...OTs ftw!

Following one of the worst regular seasons in years (at least imo), we had some amazing games in the play-in, and now both games to begin the playoffs have also delivered. Mavs just won game 1 as 6pt underdogs, something i didn't see coming quite frankly, but it should make the series much more intriguing now.

My only bet of the day is halfway there, i only need Nets to take care of business, 3-0 on the regular season...hopefully it's not another surprise.

I feel like the Celtics are going to get destroyed here in a few minutes. Kyrie has a chip on his shoulder when it comes to Celtics players and I’m sure he’s going to go out there looking to embarrass them and suck the life out of their team in game 1. Not to mention the Celtics haven’t been playing great as of recently. I’d feel pretty good betting the Nets today, but wasn’t able to get a bet in myself. Too busy preparing for a great night of sports and friends!

It's not happening yet in the 1st quarter.
Bad shooting percentage for the Nets like there's a lid above the rim. 2/10 for KD and he is looking for his rhythm.
Great chance for the Nets fans to enter the bet while the Celtics are still in lead.

Denver Nuggets ML on my ticket for later.
Good luck to everyone.

Seeing the stats I feel like Brooklyn will lose today. But I will be happy if they as Boston costs me so much all the time, I just hate them.
Its time for a 3 to fall, 18 minutes without a 3 with players like that, crazy.

They have so much success going to the basket and then they force 3s again. I dont get it.

So far Net's big 3 are shooting poorly, their lucky that Boston has not taken a big lead.

But we all know that they can explode anytime specially in the last 2 quarters. Dallas though pull some kind of upsets against the Clippers, so in any case the pattern might continue. I have a bet on the Celtics here handicap, so I will cheer for them, 

[Maasdamer]

And for the last possession what do they do, try a 3 again.

16/29 from 2 and 1/13 from 3, smart choice.

Blake Griffin with zero impact, didnt even take 1 shot. Joe Harris was supposed to be the wide open shooting option with everybody focussing on the big 3, he took 4 shots, hitting 3/4 .

How is this a good game plan?

Not a good game plan in our point of view as the 3's were not falling but it is what it is. They are star players and you can't benched one of those.

I'm betting on the Nets here so let's just wait and see in the second half what would be their adjustments. Hoping also that their 3-point percentage would improve.

Nice call @cryptomaniac_xxx and @stadus.

edit: Damn! Butler does it again, OT time!

Thank you:



That's playoff Butler for us, forced that OT but Middleton is the man.

Portland did play very good against the Nuggets as well ML bet:



My early pick is Wizards +7.5 for tomorrow.
