NBA 2023-2024 betting

[YuginKadoya]

I guess we should not be worried that Giannis will not play in the NBA Finals as the odds say that he will come back.

Though the Suns are the favorites in the books, things would change once Gianni's wills tart to play, if we see the same Giannis, that will make the bucks a team that is hard to beat because the Suns haven't faced a healthy team that is dominant inside.

The Lakers were the only team that gave trouble to the suns, that's when Davis was healthy because they dominate inside, so if Giannis is healthy, they can do that to the Suns.

There is no official news that Giannis Antetokkounmpo will return anytime soon, and if he could return from the game it will be just like what happens with Trae Young becoming a burden the entire game so its good for Giannis to stay low and get some rest so when the time the Bucks would need him he will be ready and have a 100% fighting chance.



Right now the odds on stake.com were favors for the Phoenix Suns, maybe because Giannis is out and Suns still have Chris Paul and Devin Booker.

Aside from that, the homecourt advantage of Phoenix also considered, though bookies might see other things aside from knowing that Giannis is out and the rest of Suns startes are available to play, which mostly the basis of this odd.

Still no information about the availability of Giannis if he can play this coming game 1 or he's going to watch it from their bench.

What do you think about CP3? are we going to see him playing like how they end the Clippers?

The odds in stake is high, I like it, the site I'm using, the odd for the Bucks is only 2.65 at the moment.
No announcement for the come back of Giannis, but he is still not ruled out by the Bucks in the NBA Finals, so there's a chance that he will come back soon.

What do you think about CP3? are we going to see him playing like how they end the Clippers?

Not sure because the Bucks defense is better than the Clippers (less Leonard), but maybe because he is a veteran and no defender would be able to stop him.

What do you think about CP3? are we going to see him playing like how they end the Clippers?

One thing that will go on CP3's favor is that he is playing very well in this playoff. So I doubt that he can be stop right now, and I would say that he is un-guardable, not even Jrue Holiday can stop it. Then they have the homecourt advantage that's why they are clearly the favorite to win game one. I'm expecting him to at least score 20-10 in game 1.

Let's see, he could be unstoppable on the Clippers series but we never know what the Bucks are cooking against him. When CP3 is limited, the Suns offence is limited too, so for now, that should be the focus of the Bucks, and they should put the touches defender on CP3.

I am with the Suns to win the game but I am still a gambler first. The odds pretty much says the Suns will win it with a large margin but I doubt that. So, I'll bet for the Bucks +6.5. Over 216.5
I believe they can outperform the Suns offensive power if they could take care of the ball for every possession.
Bucks bench ain't that weak so I am hoping for a close game with the Suns winning with just single digits.

Player props? Anyone?

If Giannis will play and they give the Bucks +6.5, then it looks like a trap.
The line movement might be telling that lots of bettors are betting on the Suns to win so there was a line movement, and I think that's good for the bucks as they are undervalued, so yeah, that's a good bet.

Cp3 might get 20 but it's not going to be easy against jrue.  Jrue is one of the top defensive guards and is going to take it to cp.  If I had to bet I'd bet he doesn't get 20, one thing Paul doesn't do is take bad contested shots which is what he will be forced into in this series.  Look for him to set up book all game here using himself as a decoy

Looking forward to that as I like the aggressiveness of Jrue Holiday and his offense is well selected also.

That's the odds, for now, CP3 total points inc. OT 20.5 over/under. Then I guess I'll follow you with that one and I'll take CP3 under.
If bucks would want someone to be limited, it should be CP3.

I still can't make out my mind, but I would say that I want the Bucks to win game win and with that good odds ML @3.10. Might throw some money on it, although my gambling money is on other sports and I thought that I will get the result of my bets before the NBA game.

Anyhow, there's plenty of time to deposit in the next 10 hours. So I might go for the Bucks here. I'm not going into player props though.

[Botnake]

I love to see the Bucks win in game 1, and with that, here's my bet on this particular game.

It's a high odd and I'm thinking maybe I'll be lucky backing the bucks to win the full game but losing in the first half.



what can you say?

[yahoo62278]

Suns are a 6 point favorite tonight vs the Bucks. What does everyone think here? Personally I think the Suns win the game, just not 100% they cover 6 points.

That's one of those many good characteristics of Paul, his basketball IQ is really great. He can keep on shooting and make those points but if circumstances calling him to make a play and let Booker to lead his way scoring more points, or if he seen advantages  from Ayton inside knowing his speed is far quicker   than Lopez.

Still questionable if Giannis will play this coming game 1, both coaches knows the value of Giannis and they will find ways, for Suns they need to take advantage while for Bucks they need to find again the best fit to cover Giannis shoes.

Same thoughts here, if we look at the game result in the regular season, the Suns won but it was a close game, so I would say it could also be a close game, but it all depends whether Giannis will come back or not, if he is out, then most likely the Suns would have an easy win in game 1.

It's hard to tell actually since Suns have also won the last 2 games without Giannis, but I also think it's the Suns, a better team than the Hawks.

Good odds, however, when Phoenix Suns have a good lead or at least leading the half, chances are they might go and win. They are good in protecting their lead, specially in the last series, there are games that Clippers went into a rally and even tie the game or close to tying the game, but then they went on a spurt 8-0 game 6 led by CP3.

As @yahoo62278 has pointed out, the Suns might win but the spread is questionable if they can cover it.

Best of luck though!!.

That's why the ods is high, you take it and hope they'll come back in the 2nd half.
Bucks are a good 2nd half team, they have good energy in the 2nd half, so it's worth to try that bet, besides that's x13.98

As @yahoo62278 has pointed out, the Suns might win but the spread is questionable if they can cover it.

Best of luck though!!.

I believe that would be the scenario tonight, Suns could win but would not cover the spread.

Therefore my pick is Bucks +6. GL Everyone!

They updated Giannis to questionable, I think regardless if he plays or not Suns cover 6 for some reason but if anyone is betting i'd say picks Suns ML to be safe.

Giannis is good to go:

"Sources: Giannis Antetokounmpo will play in Game 1 of Bucks-Suns. ."

It's Suns or nothing for me in GM 1, i also think Suns will close it in 5 with or without Giannis playing, in my eyes, they are the better team.

- i don't like how the Bucks defend the high pnr, Lopez will be a huge liability.

- Suns have a better halfcourt offense and more consistent shooting from deep.

- Phoenix bench with Cam Johnson and C. Payne is lights years better than what the Bucks have atm (have props on both those guys).

Suns -3.5 @1.70^W  -  Suns -1.5 FH @1.72^W  -  Suns ML; Under 234.5 @1.68^W

Yup! that home court advantage does have a factor and bookies is looking to all possibility for Suns advantage, and now Giannis Antetokounmpo have played on the 1st game of the finals, but as expected he still not at 100% and just playing 35 mins of the game, I think just like Chris Paul have come back to the Phoenix Suns he still not in top shape, and the Suns have expose him in gameplay to coup for his lost due to his injury, I think they let Giannis play for now so he can coup up back on top shape.

Unfortunately, the Bucks lose in game 1, but still, it's too early, the series will not be over soon as even if the Bucks will lose again in game 2, for sure the Bucks will bounce back in game 3. Cp3 did an amazing job, he is good at finding mismatches and I think what's lacking is the defense on Paul, it should be Holiday who should do the kind of defense Mann put to him, he has to follow him wherever he goes.
