NBA 2023-2024 betting

[danherbias07]

^Sorry about that bro.  I forgot my early bets but thankfully I am early enough to bet for late games today.
Thunder versus Kings is starting and I put my bets for the Kings as always. Maxed it out at -5.5 and I hope I am not wrong about this bet.
OKC sometimes surprises teams that underestimate them and I wish Kings would never do that and play this seriously.

I will watch them while waiting for the Warriors vs Bulls game which may be the most intriguing of all games today.  Battle of speed and transition plays.

I lost my bet on NYK vs the Hornets.

NYK leads in the beginning, but as usual, the Hornets coming back in the middle of the 3rd and then takes over the 4th quarter.

Won on Boston ML though, so it's 1/1 for me today:

^Same for me Dave but I added one more bet for GSW so I got 2/3. 


Just as I thought, the Kings underestimated the OKC at the end of the game and they relaxed that made them lose it.
I actually stopped watching at the 3rd quarter hoping it will be a win. The lead was 16 points and all they have to do is protect it, Buddy was red hot from outside shots while Fox is not on his normal offensive day. I was shocked to see the game was tied at the last 5 minutes in the 4th. Another monster game for SGA now in the 18th rank of points leader, better than Booker.

Lakers got clobbered tonight. Carmelo had his first bad game I’ve watched as a Laker. Russell shot well but didn’t get as many minutes as he’s used to. Dwight Howard got a few more minutes and did well. I’m seeing lots of people on Twitter calling for a new head coach…

Was surprised to see the Warriors blow out the Bulls. I may have underestimated how good the Warriors will be this year. They’re the best team in the league right now without 2 of their starters…

[CDC AP]

Not a good performance from Lakers and they were defeated pretty badly in this match. Some players who were doing good so far for the lakers were not good enough in this match. Carmelo has been in pretty good form but in this match not looked good. Apart from Dwight Howard actually no one looked attacking. It was a bad loss for Lakers and may be a wake up call for them.

No surprise though, I mean it was in GSW home court and then they have the momentum going into this game. They played good defense too and Lavine and DeRozan was limited in the third quarter.

Draymond Green had another good game, Gary Payton Jr, playing like his dad, pick-pocket (in a nice way). And then Igoudala, who still have that hop and can dunk. This is like the championship GSW that we've seen before, a bit scary.

Won on Boston ML though, so it's 1/1 for me today:

I also lost to that bet, though their good start will last until the finish the Hornets gained momentum on the 3rd quarter, Well these are my picks this day and I think it is not bad,

Charlotte Hornets VS New York Nicks LOST

Boston Celtics VS Milwaukee Bucks WIN

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Detroit Piston LOST

New Orleans Pelicans VS Brooklyn Nets WIN

Houston Rockets VS Portland Trailblazer WIN

Memphis Grizzlies VS Phoenix Suns WIN

Golden State Warriors VS Chicago Bulls WIN

from my 7 picks, I have won 5 and lost 2 I can say it is not bad for a starter, maybe I will also share my bets and how much I have gained from it next time, but for now this is the only progress I have, and from the Boston Celtics VS Milwaukee Bucks game my analysis was right to go for the Celtics when I saw that Brook Lopez, Donte DiVincenzo, and Khris Middleton was out from the game, but when I've seen that Giannis Antetokounmpo will not play as well I got confidence with the Celtics,

And for me The Golden State Warriors is really doing great, I am a huge fan of Stephen Curry actually and maybe this season will be for the Golden State Warriors, but I still have my reservation on that though until the finals.

Good luck on your pick @stadus... but it's not only the Bucks who have inconsistency, even the Celtics are also experiencing some big losses due to their inconsistency. I believe Giannis own the Celtics, so I think it's good to put some player props too for Giannis as he could get a double double here.

Yeah, You have a valid point, the Celtics are not a reliable team as well, the only good thing is that over the few games Tatum seemed to have found his rhythm back, and tonight's game might depend on good Tatum is. Bucks as well aren't the same team without Middleton, no doubt, but their win over the Knicks shows that they can find a way around it even in difficult situations.

I don't have a clear opinion on the fixture, but @stadus is usually unbiased with his picks, so I'll be going with him on the Celtics ML

Lucky that Celtics won in the OT, they give the Bucks a chance to beat them by allowing the game to go to OT, but this is NBA, surprises happened but it's still a good thing that Celtics were able to pull a win at home, it's their 2 win streak at home and I'll be happy to continue betting on them.

That was quite an intense game, the game was a close one going back and forth from the first quarter but Celtics took a decent lead going into the forth and I didn't think Bucks would have been able to force OT, but Allen made some great shot to make that happen, could have swung either, truly.

Line dropped drastically in favour of Celtics when it was confirmed that Giannis was going to suit up for the game, perhaps, It could have been a different result if he had played.

Congratulations to all the winners.

[stadus]

Another good win for us, I think I have to post my early pick so you guys could check it out and just follow or fade.

Game: Jazz vs Heat.

Jimmy Butler is still questionable in this game but I still like the chances of the Heat to cover the spread. Again, I find it too high and that the heat might win straight up in this game. Their game against the LA Clippers showed us that they are a good team as they were able to compete well even without their main player.

I also see some struggle by the Jazz in defense, so with Lowry, I guess he can take over to command the team.

Therefore my pick is Heat +7.5, hopefully not a trap.

Won on Boston ML though, so it's 1/1 for me today:

That was a really really close bet on Boston ML,they got lucky in overtime to win the match against the Bucks. I had Over 211.5 points in this match so would have been pretty close if they didnt go into overtime,but thats a really nice win. NYK vs Hornets for me was an under bet they just gaved a big line on that match.

We are the real winners because we enjoy the game and at the same time win our bet.

Bucks showed good chemistry as everyone was scoring, but the home team is just the better team in that game especially in the playoffs.
I didn't expect that Dennis would be the top performer for the Celtics and that 38 points he dropped was very special and he seemed to be just playing effortlessly.

Therefore my pick is Heat +7.5, hopefully not a trap.

Wow this is fresh, I like to follow this bet, +7.5 is probably a gift, not a trap.

I swear, the spirit that they're showing and that mamba mentality is scary, I remember Steph warning us last summer that they've prepared THIS MUCH and that they're gonna prove that they're gonna be the best team, I guess he's right, if they stay this consistent then this Warriors roster is looking like a chip-winning team.

This roster also proves us that a team doesn't really need stacked star players like the Lakers or Nets, go ahead and complain about their age but Steph, Draymond and Iggy are also the same, the difference here is the chemistry and playmaking, the ball isn't centered around Curry unlike the Nets wherein it is centered for KD and Harden, that's the biggest difference between two teams, it's still early to make wild assumptions but I can foresee that the Dubs are nothing like the Dubs last season.

^^ One thing that goes with the Golden State is that they've been here before and they know what it takes to win big games and championship. Green, Steph and Iggy, Looney. And now they have  new guys like Poole, Payton Jr, Lee, Toscano-Anderson who are willing to sacrifice their body to give Steph a screen for his 3 and then they have their own offensive weapons too. Now they are on top of the standings and they beat a good team in Bulls last night.

Every time the Warriors play, I just don't think of betting against them anymore, I did in some games but it only resulted in losses.

Warriors is back, and Curry is very healthy that he can drop as many points as he wants.
This is the Warriors that we are seeing before, they have become so dominant now, and take note, they are not having Klay Thompson yet, how much more if he comes back and still have his good touches.

Won on Boston ML though, so it's 1/1 for me today:

Really good win by Boston in their homecourt, but it was not that easy, they have to go overtime to get this one. The Bucks without Giannis but they keep the game tight in the 4th and with Grayson Allen hitting that 3 in the corner to force the overtime.

Dennis Schroder come up big in this game, with big numbers, 38 points, probably his best game as a Celtics this year.

Grayson Allen is clutch, he improved his game in Grizzlies and I don't understand why get got traded to the Bucks when he was doing fine in the playoffs. This is a good steal for the Bucks and they can certainly use his consistent 3 point shooting ability in the playoffs.

Dennis Schroder come up big in this game, with big numbers, 38 points, probably his best game as a Celtics this year.

Who would have thought that, if he gets more minutes and the freedom to shoot the ball more often, then for sure he can do the same or even surpass that performance in future games.

If we look at his numbers, we can say that he can really drop that points.

Wow this is fresh, I like to follow this bet, +7.5 is probably a gift, not a trap.

Line is at +8.5 right now,

I think Jazz would win this, they're due for a win and they can't face a better Heat than one without Jimmy Butler, but the +8.5 line seem like a good value to back the Heat on.

Adebayo was earlier listed at questionable but seems he's been cleared to play, and Lowry will need to get more offensive if they're to come up with a win here, I'm taking the +8.5 Heat

Goodluck.

2 picks for tonight.  Memphis -3.5 on the road against the person.  With zion out I don't see how the person can end this skid.  And my second one is the Wizards-4.5 on the road against Orlando.  Orlando is young and gonna lose a lot of games home or away, like the Wizards with Beal just being too much with no one on Orlando good enough to slow him down.  Good luck tonight everyone!

[boltz]

My picks for today : Pelicans ML and Raptors ML

the other looks hard for me to pick but Pacers looks appeal for a win.
