NBA 2023-2024 betting

Bulls -6.5

I also have the Bulls spread, Rockets' recent losses on the road are within by 7 or more points, and even though the Bulls got a close win at home I still think they're likely to win by double digits. The last time they had a back to back game at home they won both games within double digits but it's still possible for the Rockets to take over knowing they've been racking some decent wins, three road wins in their last five.

Definately a good bet.  Bulls at home no matter their roster so long as it's not entirely depleted at -6.5 over the Rockets is a great bet.  They are already up 16 in the second quarter.  Rockets had some decent games and some good wins after starting the year terribly but most nights they are going to be overpowered by teams with solid vets.

Nice bet on that, I also have the Bulls with handicapped however, with parlay on the Memphis who just lost to OKC. I thought Memphis had it as they build a solid lead and it was in their homecourt.

Now to able to recoup my losses and recover some, hopefully the Warriors can cover the spread for me.

I also took the +5.5 Spurs vs Clippers.

Thank you Draymond Green.

I already hit the 4 steals + blocks at the first half and in the 3rd he did it all ending with a triple-double. He is truly amazing in both the defensive and offensive end especially when Steph Curry was having a bad night with his outside shots. It is not normal that we see him with double digits in points but now he needs to do it because of his teammates struggling to find their rhythms.
Both games also covered the spreads. Cheers!!! Beers later!

My early picks will be for the super dogs. 
Golden State Warriors versus Sacramento Kings - Warriors -13.5 Wiggins out due to health and safety protocols but with a fresh Steph Curry and Draymond Green should be enough to win the game in a blowout.

Chicago Bulls versus Houston Rockets - Bulls -7.5 These guys are still hungry for more wins and they had their long rest already. Even after a great exhausting game against the Lakers, they will look for one more win.

Good luck.

Both picks are good, Curry and Green together with their role players are enough to cover that handicap, knowing how deep the rotation of coach Kerr,

It's possible to win with a huge margin. Kings need to find defensive player to stop Steph if they want to push this game to a close match or even try winning it against the warriors.

While with the Bulls, with DeRozan, they need to keep winning again to bring the hype back with their team..

Line starts at -10.5 for the Warriors so I will go with it. Yes, Curry is back and so is Green and this one is on their homecourt so I expect them to come hard early and build a good lead.

It's already -12.5 now, but if you'll ask me, I think it's still good, Warriors can cover that high spread with Curry and Draymond back in the line up.

While Bulls with DeRozan is eager to duplicate their huge win against the Lakers, so -7.5 as well.

They'll play back to back, but against the Rockets who are inconsistent sometimes (just like the LA Lakers), so yes, I agree, we might see the same result but question is will the Bull cover this time?

Hard match to predict will be Clippers vs Spurs, both of this team are eager to win again after losing a close game.

In situation like this, I'd always favor the home team.

As predicted both the Warriors and the Bulls covered the spread nicely with minutes to go so it's sure win again for our basketball bettors here.

Unfortunately, the home team Clippers didn't even put a decent fight in their homecourt, and even though PG13 played, not enough as the Spurs build a good lead and never come back. Congrats to those who bet on the Spurs as they are the underdogs here.

Spurs are getting better now, we might not notice it but they are also winning against a playoff team and though they are still not in the top 10 but soon as they continue to upset teams, they might be able to be in the ranking.

Good game by the Bulls, despite a back to back game, they never get tired and they still by a huge margin.
I'm sure bulls and Warriors were the easy picks yesterday and we have a lot of winners here.

[danherbias07]

2 games that I like and took the early bet.
LA Lakers versus Phoenix Suns - Suns -6.5 With Booker back that kind of spread will be easy to achieve. Lakers stars will need to step up their game if they want to have a close game. I am expecting JaVale McGee to have his quality minutes again. Also, note Lakers had been hit by health and safety protocol for most of their players.

Dallas Mavericks versus Minnesota Timberwolves. T'Wolves -1.5. Anthony Edwards is still at health and safety protocols but Luka for the Mavs is also out and KP is questionable to play the game. I think KAT and DLo could handle it.

There's a bunch of players out on each side of the Tims and mavs game, I was leaning towards the Wolves but it's just too many people out to figure out how that game will play out.  I got 2 games tonight (possibly)

I like the Knicks-7 at home against Detroit.  I know the Knicks are struggling but they should be able to knocks off the Pistons fairly easily if everyone is playing up to par

Second game I like is the Portland and NO game.  NO is favored by 2.5, I like Portland if Dame is playing but if he is out I'm putting my money on NO at home.  All hinged on dames outlook.

Good luck tonight everyone!

We have an early game. Piston versus Rockets and will start in just minutes. I guess I will pass or try to bet live.

Rockets won, 116-107. And, once again Wood is their top scorer.

Careful betting for the Warriors. It's not a trap but they are resting Steph then Green, Wiggins, and Iggy also have their own reasons but I think they are all for resting purposes.
But, I want to see GPII shine at this moment and so does Damion Lee so I think I'll risk with a handicap of +9.5 because they are not that bad of a team without their stars. Expecting a large total score too if the three's keeps on piling up. Over 201.5 should be enough.

They are resting everyone, lol. Looks like they just want to give this win to the Raptors, and it's surely be an easy win by the Raps, I'm thinking of not just +9.5 ,but 26+ win by the Raps.

I should have read your comments about the Rockets vs Pistons because I didn't pass on this game and I wasn't able to watch it live, lost my bet on Detroit.

Yes, Juan Toscano, GPII and Lee should be the star for the Warriors, but not sure if they are enough to win against the Raptors tonight. I just included Raptors in my parlay and I take the risk on Nets -1.5 against Orlando.

Raptors easily beat the Warriors. The handicap -9.5 was good there were 19points.

While with your Nets, sad to say, but aside from the Big 3, Claxton also did not play. Magic beat them in their home court.
If that's a parlay, Nets ruined your pick.

Not a kind of day for you, Dave..

Yep, but was able to bounce back a couple of days ago:



and yesterday's game:



I could have again follow the and tail GSW tips here, but just want to make sure though that I will get a win in those bets.

[Harkorede]

I literally wanted to take the Pacers wanted to take the Pacers -2.5 just before the tip, but decided to just pass for this night and all I can say is that I'm glad not to have taken the bet.

Heat up by 23 points is something I never could have seen coming. Heat have shot the ball well, and have been good on defense too so far in this game, this is a win already, If the first half is anything to go by.

[danherbias07]

Yeah, that's correct and Wolves cannot handle the Mavs and their 10-day contract players made a huge contribution, Marquese Chriss and Theo Pinson.
DLo was 1/11 on outside shots and that will obviously end up a losing game if he fires at that low percentage.

1/1

On this side of the game, it was Thomas who is struggling to shoot the ball. I hope they will not blame him for the loss. If Melo was not ejected due to 2 technical fouls, it could've been a different ending. But the refs did get to his nerve after the no-call hit in the 3 point shot.

[Japinat]

Lakers had a bad game again, you guys did the right decision fading them as the Phoenix Suns clearly dominated the Lakers again. I'm looking at the boxscore, I'm not happy with the production because only Westbrook and Lebron had a decent contribution, the rest did nothing except for Ariza who scored 12 points with a perfect FG shooting.

[YuginKadoya]

The Golden State Warriors are known for winning with big margins against any team, whether strong or considered weak. In tonight's game against Sacramento Kings, two of their most performing players, Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole are out because of safety protocols. I'm thinking "at least"  Sacramento Kings should cover the +10.5 @ 2.21 even Steph Curry will explode on that game.

Houston Rockets is sometimes surprising too even they have the worst record currently in the standings. Maybe will try a risk betting at +7 for them against the Chicago Bulls who just came from winning against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Yup! Steve Kerr needs to pull a hard decision in making most of his players rest against the Raptors that is why I think even though they have lost we all know that they are not playing at their 100% but against the Sacramento Kings they pull off another win because of how good the Golden State offense is, and Stephen Curry is firing off threes, from start to finish the Golden State Warriors dominates the game against the Sacramento, right now looking at Jonathan Kuminga because he has a back injury and questionable to play the next match.

The Houston Rockets might be firing a great performance with teams like the Detroit Piston, and Atlanta Hawks but right now it is a high risk in betting on a bet, and against the Chicago Bulls, Well (Edited) the Bulls have won against the Rockets and it was a dominating match were Bulls win 133 - 118.

Close game during 1st half but Suns start to rally and outscored Lakers in the second half,

There's nothing LeBron can do when he's against the whole Suns, even he'll try to carry the Lakers there's nothing that he can do now,
he's no longer the young King and the help that he needed from the team is not there or not enough I guess.

Good win again for those who love to play against this team, they continue to struggle when facing tough team.

[danherbias07]

It's exhausting to check every team injury report because of this damn Covid which puts a lot of players in the health and safety protocols but we have to do it to increase the chances of winning.
Early picks: Boston Celtics versus Cleveland Cavaliers - Celtics -4.5
Celtics are without Josh Richardson while the Cavaliers are without Allen, Mobley, Okoro, and a lot more. Added Trevon Scott - 10 day contract.

Oklahoma City Thunder versus Denver Nuggets - Nuggets -6.5 JaMychal Green (injury)
Good luck guys and if you are betting for other games please do check the injury reports first.

I do agree, that's why it's really hard to bet without checking any news on who's who are going to play. When you think that your team has the advantage, suddenly the odds change because players are going to sit.

Oklahoma City Thunder versus Denver Nuggets - Nuggets -6.5 JaMychal Green (injury)
Good luck guys and if you are betting for other games please do check the injury reports first.

Good bet, Nuggets coming from a lost and surely will need to bounce back. Hawks as well -6.5 against Magic.

[YuginKadoya]

I am too bored to check every injury report for every team that is why I tend to just choose my favorite matches or have a large potential of winning before checking both teams injury reports, and I think this Pandemic hits hard to teams that are most affected because half of their players are In safety protocol quarantine, I really think you don't need to check the odds every time there would be an injury when the game is in session, for me, I usually check the odds once, then let the luck choose my destiny.

Oklahoma City Thunder versus Denver Nuggets - Nuggets -6.5 JaMychal Green (injury)
Good luck guys and if you are betting for other games please do check the injury reports first.

Well, good call on the Nuggets, and right now I think I will go with the Nuggets aswell, but yeah JaMychal Green has an ankle injury, and it questionable if he can play another one is Aaron Gordon that has a hamstring injury and is questionable aswell if he could play against the Thunders.

Good luck tonight everyone!

1-1 last night Portland stayed true on the road lol.

Anyway tonight's games I like 3 of them:

Hawks -7 at home against Orlando, think Trae goes off in this one for a home blowout
Bucks -9.5 at home against the Rockets.  Love giannis at home under 10 points against a young team.  He should dominate the paint here
And gimme the cavs ML on the road against the celts.  Cavs are rolling and think they can straight out win.  They are getting 6.5 points so the ML pays out big here.

Good luck everyone!

Cleveland will have a game today, playing against the Boston Celtics on the road, what do you think is the right bet here?

I'm thinking of Cleveland handicap of +6.5 because they are too good at covering the spread.
Does it fit your analysis guys?

I'm also leaning on the plus points at first but after checking the injury report i've changed my pick to Celtics. The Cavaliers are missing one too many players and I think they'd easily lose by double digits.

Then again it feels difficult to analyze the spread at this point knowing a lot of players are missing so I went with the Celtics moneyline @1.40.

Hawks -7 at home against Orlando, think Trae goes off in this one for a home blowout

Careful on this one, afaik Trae is currently out and likely won't play against Orlando.

[TravelMug]

^^ Indeed, that was a trap, Magic won, Trae Young didn't play.

Cam Reddish though had a good night with 36 points, with John Collins putting in 26 points.

This is another reason why is hard to bet before the game, hard to see who is going to play unless you followed the official announcement of the team.

[danherbias07]

Lost my internet connection during the 3rd quarter of the Kings vs Clippers game but thankfully my bets hit.

I took most of it during the first quarter and I didn't know how it ended. 
Same with the Nuggets game vs OKC as I missed the whole 3 quarters. How come they lose and why they didn't let Jokic come in the 4th quarter while the lead was cut down to 8? Was he fouled out?
Celtics on the other hand dominated the game with Jaylen Brown leading the offense at 34 points.
