NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Distinctin]

Same, I had a hard time picking but in the end, I choose Phoenix Suns. So, I am going the other way with -3.5.

Congratulations, you made the right choice there mate! As for me, I didn't bet on the games today because it was a really hard for me choosing who would win between the Mavericks against the Suns, both teams are on a win streak and fortunately my decision was right because I was about to bet on the Mavericks.
Luka as expected led the team and the man almost had a triple double tho, but Booker and CP3 on the other hand answered every attacks that the Mavericks made and their rotation was quite well that helped them secure the win.

[Rufsilf]

Ok, I was torn here to be honest, I don't know who to bet as the Dallas is also on a winning streak and it seems they have found their chemistry as they beat several good teams already.

So I will tail on this one, ML for Dallas is above 2.xx so it's really a good and attractive bet. And if Ayton is not going to play, maybe KP will have his way on this game.

Same, I had a hard time picking but in the end, I choose Phoenix Suns. So, I am going the other way with -3.5.

Back to back game for the Indiana Pacers. Let's see if they will still have the energy to play against the Golden State Warriors. We may see their fatigue at the 2nd half and this will be the Warriors' time to shine. If Iggy will play, his defense will come in handy and so does Gary Payton II.
My pick: Warriors -10.5

On the fence with the Warriors.  I feel like these higher spreads get challend right at the end of the game since the favorite let's up.  Gonna stick with one game tonight.  I'm taking the Suns -3 on the road but playing a Dallas team on the second game of a vacation to back.  I like cp3 controlling this game and guiding them to a win.

Good call on the Sun -3 here, and you are right, CP3 controls the game and he also scored 20 points will dishing out 11 assists. Big game for him and even though DA is out, still they manage to get a huge win against a hot Dallas team.

Warriors and Pacers very close up to this point.  The spread though right now is 15+/-. I'll probably bet after the 1st half of the game.

Indeed, the Suns still managed to win the game even without Deandre Ayton, there's still no news since he suffered an ankle injury recently against the Pistons. Booker and CP3 led the team with a combined score of 48 and both had 5 rebounds and washed the Mavericks in the 4th quarter.

Warriors and Pacers very close up to this point.  The spread though right now is 15+/-. I'll probably bet after the 1st half of the game.

The Warriors on the other hand, suffered and lost unexpectedly against the Pacers with a 4 points score difference. Seems the Warriors recently are out of bounce and their chemistry isn't that well enough anymore since they can be defeated by a weaker team like the Pacers now.

Thank you. I was expecting the Mavericks to use Kristaps Porzingis more in this game because the Suns were lacking with height to compete with him and of course with the same speed. It could've made a big difference in the outcome of the game.

Warriors lose. My bet was a loss. Not many fans expected that from the Pacers with a back-to-back game and absent superstars. I watched the whole game and they were giving the Warriors a difficult time to execute their screen and roll plays.
Anyway, thank you Steph and cheers to all.

They'll have a chance to bounce back from that very disappointing loss.

Today, they'll play a back to back game and will be up against the Rockets, I think a weaker team like the Rockets will be easy for them to beat, and knowing that the Warriors always come back from a loss, it's so enticing to take the spread although it's as high as -11.

Warriors have been struggling lately, I think I'll stay away from them for now. My pick for today is the Heat to win against the Hawks, they'll deal with this struggling Hawks and I think their lineup is strong enough to dominate the home team.

Adding one bet, Nuggets at home is also a good beat, they are only -3.5 against Memphis.

I think I like the Warriors here, even though I'm not the biggest fan of wide spreads I think the Warriors got this.

I'll be taking the Lakers -5.5 against Orlando Magic, I know Lakers are pretty awful right now, but it's going to be a real low if they're unable to get a win against a team like Magic.

I also like the Nuggets vs Memphis as well.

[morvillz7z]

Almost all of LeBron's worst regular-season losses have come around the January-February period, close to the All-Star Break.

Time in and time again, there is talk about players getting traded, front office not doing their job, coach on the hot seat, silly losses vs weak teams, etc.

A shortlist of LeBron's worst losses:

Feb. 2019   -42 loss at Pacers
Jan. 2018   -34 loss at Raptors
Jan. 2017   -35 loss at Warriors
Jan. 2016   -34 loss at Warriors

I'm super confident a meltdown game is coming where the Lakers will get trashed pretty hard, i don't have the guts to take Orlando today, but the next three are against @Miami, @Brooklyn, and @Philadelphia. I know they already had a game like this just last week (@Denver lost by 37) but there could be another one coming with decent odds to take advantage of.

[YuginKadoya]

Picks for today's game, highlighted in green are my picks, WOW! we had 11 games today but I will only choose what I like,

Orlando Magic VS Los Angeles Lakers

Right now the Orlando Magic comes from 3 consecutive losses and the Los Angeles Lakers Come from 3 losses, then a win and a loss, both of these teams need a win really badly and stake odds are 2.70 for Magic and 1.50 for the Lakers right now R.J. Hampton is on the secondary player of the Magic that has a knee injury and can not win in addition to this Markelle Fultz, Michael Carter-Williams, E'Twaun Moore, and Jonathan Isaac are injured and can not play while the Lakers Lebron James is in question if he could play Anthony Davis and Kendrick Nunn both have knee injuries, and Sekou Doumbouya has covid, right now I like the Los Angeles Lakers as a team and the Orlando Magic is not a well-performing team but right now the Los Angeles Lakers is a mess because there are rumors that their head coach is getting fired, because of certain mess with decisions, and it really is a circus on the side of the Lakers, I like Lakers over Magic, but right now I could pick Magic here but I am staying away from the bet, well it is your choice in getting this pick or go with the stake odds, but I will sit this one out.

Philadelphia 76ers VS Los Angeles Clippers

Stake Odds 1.29 for the 76ers and 3.75 for the Clippers, but right now Shake Milton, Matisse Thybulle, and Danny Green has injuries and out from their main team, while Seth Curry is in question if he can play, while the Clippers Paul George, Jason Preston, and Kawhi Leonard has injuries, right now the 76ers are playing their best ball this season and has a great standing in the meantime while the Clippers is hanging on the balance, even though I like the 76ers I am going against the odds here even though Clippers are in the low standings they can deliver an upset and can compete despite having many player injuries, I would go with the Clippers.

San Antonio Spurs VS Brooklyn Nets

The Nets are on the verge of struggling in my opinion because they are short-handed without Kevin Durant, while the Spurs are in full strength, for this game, Stake odds are 1.84 for the Spurs and 2.02 for the Nets, aside from Kevin Durant, Nicolas Claxton, Paul Millsap, and Joe Harris can not play, right now the Brooklyn Nets needs a miracle in winning this, even though I like the Nets I will go with the San Antonio Spurs to upset the Nets at home.

Golden State Warriors VS Houston Rockets

Stake odds 1.16 for the Warriors and 5.60 for the Rockets despite this odds for the Warriors Houston Rockets is coming in almost on their full strength with only John Wall that can not play against the Warriors, right now the Warriors have Andre Iguodala, and Klay Thompson on a rest, Draymond Green and James Wiseman are injured, and Andrew Wiggins is in question if he can play, after that loss from a shorthanded Pacers, and Stephen Curry's good performance I think that is not enough, right now, well I am a number 1 fan of the Warriors, but this one I will be sitting out on the bets, but my picks are the Golden State Winning, but I think the Rockets could surely hang on and could make the game as close as possible, well it is up to you to make a decision because right now there is a small risk possibility for the Rockets winning this, and take that incredible profit from stake odds.

The Warriors should win but 11-12 points is a lot against the Rockets even though they have one of the worst records at the moment their form is somewhat decent as they just beat the Jazz in their last game. That said i'm taking the Rockets +11.5 here as the last time the Warriors had a back to back at home they lost and it was against the Spurs.

Also Lakers at -5.5 seems like a steal against the Magic I think they could easily win by double digit or so but then again their results have been disappointing.

Lakers need to win and covering that handicap should not be a problem.

Though we keep seeing disappointing outcome from their previous performances, but still they need to come up and
make some win. Magic is not that much if they will perform well.

I'll be checking this one as I'm looking for the Nets and Boston, lots of games to choose, better to carefully analyzed and
fid the value bet that can bring a better outcome..

[Dave1]

Ok, I was torn here to be honest, I don't know who to bet as the Dallas is also on a winning streak and it seems they have found their chemistry as they beat several good teams already.

So I will tail on this one, ML for Dallas is above 2.xx so it's really a good and attractive bet. And if Ayton is not going to play, maybe KP will have his way on this game.

Same, I had a hard time picking but in the end, I choose Phoenix Suns. So, I am going the other way with -3.5.

Back to back game for the Indiana Pacers. Let's see if they will still have the energy to play against the Golden State Warriors. We may see their fatigue at the 2nd half and this will be the Warriors' time to shine. If Iggy will play, his defense will come in handy and so does Gary Payton II.

And so I listen to my guts:



Sorry Warriors fans, I know that they are the favorite in this game, but the way they shoot the ball in the first 2 quarters tells me that something is not right so I outright bet on the Pacers with that huge odds an thankfully my risk and gut feeling did paid off.

Edit: @chaser15 - yes mate it's a live bet, I put it 58-52, Warriors with the lead at the end of 1st half.

Is this a live bet since odds are high?

I didn't watch the game but for that odds to be offered to the Indiana Pacers, meaning the Warriors was able to control the game at some point?

Congratulation mate. It's nice timing and an awesome win.

Warriors have won! The Rockets was just a 3 points shy from defeating the hot Warriors today. The Rockets have been bombarding the Warriors from 1st and 2nd quarter leaving them with a 6 points and 5 points lead respectively, fortunately they've figured out a way to chase the lead and turn the game into their favor. Today, Curry and Poole are the biggest contributor in the team the helped securing the game.
Klay Thompson didn't play and seems he's been resting and preparing against the Jazz in their next game.

Congratulations Dave. I admire your courage in taking that risk. Thumbs up and cheers.

Whoever took the +11.5 for the Houston Rockets early pick is a winner now.

That said i'm taking the Rockets +11.5 here as the last time the Warriors had a back to back at home they lost and it was against the Spurs.

Cheers to you too.
GSW won with just a 2 point lead from Steph Curry's buzzer-beater. That was a fun game. I guess the expectation for GSW was just too high to put them in a handicap of -11.5. They just came from a loss against Pacers and it should've been lower. I tried looking for an opportunity where I could put my bet at a lower spread but there was none in the first half. So I just took over and under and a player prop for Steph.

Well, actually the Warriors have won the game, and on the same note, you also won the game mate! The Rockets was just 2 points behind the GSW and surely that +11.5 spread was more than wide enough to cover it. That said, the GSW was really struggling in the 1st half of the game and seems they're still finding the correct rhythm and managed to seal the game safely in their side.

That's another 2nd half run that brought that win for the warriors. They are still struggling, but doing their best.

You said it right that handicap is too wide for them, they almost lose this game Houston fought well but are unable to secure
the game, it was a rally in the final quarter that give the win for the Warriors.

Congrats for picking the handicap side, you won!

[YuginKadoya]

Orlando Magic VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 105 - 116 - LOST


Philadelphia 76ers VS Los Angeles Clippers SCORE 101 - 102 - WIN


San Antonio Spurs VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 102 - 117 - LOST


Golden State Warriors VS Houston Rockets SCORE - 105 - 103 - WIN

I was really OK with the results, but I haven't put my bet on the Magic VS Lakers and Warriors VS Rockets just to be safe and uncertainly on who's going to win, anyway, the Magic VS Lakers, pretty much Lebron James have shone so bright and Russel Westbrook is 3 more point to his assist to be a triple-double,
and the Los Angeles Lakers were pretty dominant with the stats, they have the most percentage on the field goal, 3 pointers, and free throws and with the total rebounds and importantly the steals it really was a great game but I haven't made but bet on this game.

Despite their issue with their number of players for the 76ers Joel Embiid was a monster landing 13 Rebound, 6 Assist, and 40 Pts. and makes them a close win over the Clippers, I surely thought that the Clippers may win this because of issue's pertaining the 76ers players, but yeah turnover for the Clippers is 10 while the Beach is at 7,

Despite not having Kevin Durant, James Harden explodes and give the Nets a triple-double performance by giving 10 Rebounds 11 assist, and 37 Points and Kyrie Irving with 24 points pretty much I have gone for the Spurs winning but that performance from James Harden, was truly remarkable,

and the Golden State close game with the Houston Rockets,

[Botnake]

Let's lay low a bit on betting the Warriors, they cannot be trusted these days, it started with KT back in the lineup, their chemistry has been change. They won the game but it was a close one, if not because of Curry's game-winning shot, that game could have went to OT and they might lose again.

[Hypnosis00]

They need some time to make an adjustment, I think this game KT did not play, and yet they could not dominate the Rockets. Curry is still the leader of the team, despite he struggles in his past games that resulted in a loss of the Warriors, but it's been a great win by the Warriors here and I think they'll start winning again.

How about the Lakers, did anyone bet on them last night?

[stadus]

How about the Lakers, did anyone bet on them last night?

I didn't touch that game, I knew that the Lakers are too unpredictable and they won here after two consecutive losses I believe. Next game I'll be taking the Lakers, it's nice to back them after a win as sometimes they'll get some little win streak.
