NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Harkorede]

I hate to be the odd guy, especially if I end up being wrong, but regardless I wouldn't be on the Chicago Bulls bandwagon tonight and my reason being their back to back losses against the 76ers, and the second game being one which they were around -4.5 favorites, if I'm not mistaken. Back to back game could mean fatigue for the Nets, I agree but could also help a team maintain certain momentum, imo.

I'm not sure if my argument is valid one, or I'm just having a clouded bias, so I'll be going with the Over 216.5 instead and hope everybody can win.

GL!

I got my first win for the week:



Yes, it was very close, but the Knicks has some final kick specially when they have that time out when Sixers is trying to come back and closing the gap to 2 points. Randle leading the team again but Barrett and Fournier and Quickley play crucial minutes and score good point for them.

I’ve been avoiding bets while LeBron is out with injuries. Steph Curry has been a monster lately though. Anyone picking him for the over on points this year with prop bets has been doing pretty well. With the Warriors at 8-1 and without 2 of their starters you can tell Steph has been lighting it up. He went for 50 again tonight…

And almost going for a triple down, 10 assists, 7 rebounds and 9 3's if I'm not mistaken.

It was really a beauty to watch him play especially in the 3rd and 4th quarter. Also, Iggy though has still spring in his legs as he can go with those alley oops.

I'm also not betting on the Lakers for now, it seems that they are not covering that point spread. They've almost lost again to the Hornets.

Here's my pick again, gotta bounce back from a lose.

Game : Bulls vs Nets.

I guess a team that loses twice in a row already is about to bounce back against the best team in the East. The Nets played last night and it's a back to back game, so I have a feeling that the fresh bulls will win this game to stop their losing streak, so I trust the home team here to win and cover.

My pick : BULLS -1.5

This is a tough choice man but I'm riding it.

The bulls need to win this game, they will be in a 3 losing streak if they would lose and that's not good for them as they have a good start. They lose against the 76ers twice, but this is a different opponent, a much better team compared to the 76ers so it's a good test for them if they could really compete and be in the playoffs.

Yup, tough choice but I like @stadus reasoning, plus the Bulls are going to play in their home court, so I think that's a big advantage though. They really have to prove something here that they are for real and not a fluke.

And as you can see in this game, the Bulls are the favourite: Chicago ML: 1.83, Brooklyn: 2.03.

The odds probably move as it's already 1.78 now, and to get decent odds, I need to adjust on the spread by betting -2.5 for Bulls, I guess that not be a problem if they will really win this game as most of their wins are in high margin, so it's worth to take the risk.

Their last two wins against the Boston and Jazz are won by a double-digit margin.

@boston 128-114
vs utah 107-99

I didn't bet pre-game mate, I just watch the game first before putting my bet.

It was tied 64-64, I think this is early 3rd quarter and I put a ML beat on the Bulls @2.25. Again it might look a huge risk, but upon watching the game itself, I said to myself that the Bulls will not let this one slip away. And they did, DeRozan and Lavine again leading the team.



Congrats to those who bet on Bulls in this game, and another great call by @stadus.

Congratulations everyone, I read the previous post and most of you guys bet on the Bulls to win.

That was a good game, a challenging game for the Bulls but they were able to bounce back after two straight losses and that win was wonderful because they just dominated the Nets who are heavy favorites to win a championship this season.

Good effort for all DeRozan and Lavine, they lead the Bulls to massacre the Nets in the 4th quarter, wow.. 17-42, it's pretty similar to what they did with the Celtics.

I watched DeRozan and Lavine move as much as my eyes can and they are shooting perimeter shots like there's no tomorrow.   Most of them are accurately measured and the problem with the Nets is they only have Durant with that kind of ability. Harden is whom I am expecting to step up his game just like how he did it during his Houston time but none was seen in 34 minutes of his playtime.

Congratulations to all who took the big risk on that bet. Nice one, stadus.

the problem with Harden currently is that he's not high on confidence and on top of it, for every clutch play, they just hand the ball over to Durant and make him work his magic. Which usually works. They need to rotate Harden and Durant like back in OKC days. Harden almost like a 6th man. Who takes charge along with the bench. Sadly, Nets don't have good depth in their squad to fulfill starter roles while the team deals with injuries.

Harden only made 14 points this game, that was half of what he made in their previous game IIRC, so that's 50% dropped in production which I would say he is not consistent anymore. Maybe blame the new rule of the NBA as his FT attempts are dropping, this game, he only have 3 and made all of them, but that wasn't his average when the new rules weren't in effect yet.

What's odd for the Nets is only 3 players score a double digit while the bulls distribute the production very well.

That's a big problem, when only 3 players can score in double digits the whole game. Joe Harris was close though, however, he is very inconsistent, if not for his 3 point shooting, the Nets could have traded this guy.

Yeah, the new rule has affected Harden and so is Trae Young. It took away their ability to go to free throw and score points.

[Kelvinid]

That's why the Hawks are struggling now, after an impressive playoff run last season, their start this season is not really good. Hawks are not even in the top 8 anymore, with a record of 4 -wins and 7 losses, which brought their ranking to number 12 in the East.

Tough lines today I might take a game or 2 but definately tough.  Jazz giving 12.5 on the road on a second night of a back to back.  I might actually take Orlando here.  I do like golden state -13 at home against Houston.  I think they route Houston at home.  And even though I'm a knicks fan giving 7.5 at home against Cleveland seems like a lot.  Cleveland has been tough all year.  Might take the cavs, and then hit the Knicks on a ML bet and try to nail the middle.

Hit the cavs and pushed the gs game.

As far as tonight I know the Knicks are on the back end of a back to back, but embid just popped out for testing positive to covid.  Knicks -2 I really like here.  Don't know if the sixers have enough fire power to keep up with the Knicks.  I'm taking the Knicks and taking the under on the game, I expect a sloppy game tonight out of both teams.

Got a trifecta.  First knicks with another win!  Hit the spread and the over was 213, ended up 10-15 under the line.  Tonight its one game (at least for nba) that I like.  Jazz -8.5 at home playing the Hawks who are on game 2 of a road back to back.  This game could end up real ugly.  I kinda like the under on this one too buy just taking a stab at the line at 8.5.  Good luck to everyone!

Definitely, I like this pick, with all the struggles of the Hawks, I don't know if they can beat the Jazz here. Mitchell and company will probably dominate and beat them by a huge number. Since Clarkson struggles on the road, I hope to see him have a good game at home, dropping at least 20 points is good enough to help his team dominate the Hawks.

It's very clear that Hawks gassed out against the GSW, so what more they can give in this game when it's a back to back game for them. Most likely an easy win because fatigue is the main factor to consider why betting against the Hawks is a good idea.

I'm thinking the same thing.  Might actually tease the points up into double digits to get better odds.  I see 117-96 type of game.  Now that Trae isn't getting all those calls when he jumps sideways into defenders hawks are struggling.  And John Collins and capella are going to struggle with Rudy inside.  This is a bad matchup for the Hawks. (I say that and now the Jazz will throw up a stinker lol).

I will tail you on this.

I like the Utah Jazz pick and the line is currently at -7.5, I would have love to put a few on the Over 222.5 too, but the fact the both teams can choose to get defensive at will is making me have second thoughts.

[ralle14]

I also have a bet on the Jazz -8.5 and I expect them to win by double digits at home, the Hawks looked okay in the first half yesterday against the Warriors and led by double digits at one point but they crumbled hard once throughout the second half.

Lucky that I caught the Bucks live as well, down by double digits early in the second quarter then went on a solid run to take the lead at the end of the half.

Little bit off 110-98 but pretty dang close.  Hit the spread and the Hawks lost.  As a knick fan couldn't have seen anything better

Was scared to bet the clips game.  I like the clips but no matter what I do I can't bet against Dame.  Always feels like he is gonna torch for 50 if I bet against him.  Wish he would just become a knick already lol.  Tomorrow is another night!

Denver Nuggets VS Miami Heat

This game has turned into a catastrophe when Markieff Morris made a dirty play on Nikola Jokic by shoving him when shooting, then Jokic retaliates by shoving Morris back that plunged him into the canvas, then Brothers of both Morris and Jokic have exchanged their conversation about the issue, it is a dirty play but I think the hitting on the back was really the offense but for me, both players surely are at fault we can not say it is just because of that dirty play and not just because Jokic retaliate, I think both men do have a problem,

Well, right now Nicola Jokic is suspended from 1 game, and Markieff Morris is injured on the neck, and I really wish for a fast recovery, and this should just stop from thereon.

Morris started it's dirty play first and Jokic just responds to it. As you can see that it's really intentional. Well too bad for both team, a game suspension and an injury. I hope everything will went fine it looks like the Nicola Jokic brother created an account just to reply to Morris.

NBA organization should act now and stop this childish social media exposures,

Players need to forgive and forget. They need to realize that the whole world is watching and following them. If they act more like this, those future aspirants will think that this kind of act is simply normal.

Gaining more fans also possible to gain more negativities, the eyes are always on you each time you'll do something, after this I hope no one
among the stars will do the same thing, not only that hard fouls which resulted in bad injury but most with the social media fights.
