NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Harkorede]

I see there are no shared picks yet so I am going to start it.
Utah Jazz versus Phoenix Suns - Suns -3.5. This will be an interesting game. For Jazz: Gobert and Mitchell out. For Suns: McGee, Ayton, Payne, and Crowder out. But I still think the Suns have the upper hand with CP3 and Booker.

Brooklyn Nets vs Denver Nuggets - Nuggets -3.5. Undermanned Nets are having trouble finding their main man to do the offensive attack and even as James Harden does triple-doubles he will need the help from someone else.

I really still don't get it, the Jazz are short handed compared to the Suns right now but the spread has reduced to just -1.5, I guess there's something we can't figure out yet, but regardless, with Gobert and Mitchell ? I'll take almost any bet Jazz, especially a red hot Suns at -1.5.

Elsewhere, with Giannis in the starting line up for the Bucks tonight, I'll be going with the Bucks -4.5 vs the Cavaliers.

GL!

This one IMO is safer, I'm taking it as I believe that the Bucks would win tonight and will dominate the Cavaliers. Though on the road, Bucks would definitely gonna crush the Cavaliers and Giannis would be unstoppable once again.

The last time they meet, the Cavaliers beat them (MIL 90 - CLE 119), so it's about time for them to payback and beat the Cavaliers on their home.

[ralle14]

Took the Jazz @2.01, their results haven't been that great (2-8 in their last 10) but I still think it's a toss up since they came close against the Warriors. Suns on the other hand have a solid record (9-1 in their last 10) I won't be surprised if they drop here as their last meeting came down to a couple of possessions.

The only possible reason the Suns would lose here is if the game is rigged. No way the Jazz could beat the Suns without their 2 best players, even if they are playing at home. I'm just worried about the line as it seems like a trap, it opened at +3.5 for the Jazz, now they are only +1.5, what does it imply?

I agree Suns should win based on their results but with how the underdogs have been hitting frequently it's not that surprising to see the Jazz get a bounce back win from their previous meeting regardless of their missing key players.

I took the Jazz +4.5 just right now, live betting. Every time the Suns will pull and make a good lead, the Jazz keeps coming back. Maybe they can really keep abreast with Suns right now going into the 4th quarter and this makes the game more interesting. So let's see if I have my own 3 game winning streak or not.

What a performance by the Cavaliers, I guess there's no such thing as a safe bet in the league for now, you either win or lose at a 50/50 chance. Giannis had 26 points and 9 boards, but still that wasn't enough to get Milwaukee Buck within range of the Cavaliers. They couldn't just put a foot wrong all through the game.

Unfortunately we lost today mate, I really thought so too that the Bucks will have the control of the game and defeat the Cavaliers on their home as a revenge because yeah the Bucks have been defeated last time they met. But as I saw the game today, seems the Cavaliers is the one who dominates the game especially Love and Osman and bury the Bucks every quarter.
Final score is 115 - 99 in favor of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

[danherbias07]

Sorry for your loss guys. Especially to those who bet for the Bucks. That was unexpected from the Cleveland Cavaliers. When they find their rhythm there is nothing that could stop them. Kevin Love and Cedie Osman worked hard for the offensive help and their twin towers Allen and Mobley for the defensive end.
Phoenix Suns on the other hand was ahead with a large number in the first quarter with Booker scoring 20+ points but Clarkson and Whiteside combined made a good run to get near them but was just not enough.
Cheers to the winners.

My dude!  Mitchell and Gobert were both out.  I was just posting about how this should be an easy spread clearing win for the Suns.  They've been playing great lately as you indicated above, while the Jazz have been struggling.  That's a bad combination for a winning pick.  I'm never one to bet against a contrarian but this one seemed like an easy dub. 

The Jazz did make a nice little run with about 4 minutes left, but dumb offensive fouls and poor defense sealed their fate.  Booker and Paul are a hell of a combination out there these days.  I'm surprised Chris Paul is still playing at such a high level, but he is...  If Ayton can come back from injury strong I think they might be in for another deep playoff run.

I really thought that the Milwaukee Bucks would win aswell because they were on the lead in the 1st quarter with 26 - 35 but the next 2 quarters did a tremendous comeback that in the last quarter the Bucks wasn't able to come back from, the Cavaliers lead, Grayson Allen wasn't able to play against the Cavaliers, maybe that is a big part, but Giannis Antetokounmpo's 26 points wasn't enough they sure need more, and another think turnovers was a big factor why the Bucks have lost this game, they have 19 turnovers and Cavaliers have 12, and the Cleveland Cavaliers also have most of the percentage on the 3 pointers,

I have taken the Phoenix Suns aswell than taking the Utah Jazz because the Suns have a high winning percentage than the Jazz even though the Utah Jazz is playing at home, the Suns still manage to perform well, despite Utah Jazz has a much percentage when it comes to 3 pointers and free throw percentage,  they have a lot of turnovers that the Phoenix Suns exploited, having 14 turnovers while the Suns just only have, Turnovers can always ruin a good play and could surely affect the situation.

There's none. We have seen that today Cavs outperformed the defending champ!

Giannis Performance ain't enough with the combine efforts of each Cavs players. Love gives a lot to help to tower
the offense of Cavs, good to see him doing his old stuff, hopefully he will continue bringing this kind of game to
help lift his team, no more dramas but start again jiving and building good chemistries with his teammates..

Love is a good leader, he trusts his teammates and you can see how everyone was really distributing for the win. I saw this kind of Cavaliers team before, even during the time of Lebron, they weren't good basketball, they just rely on the talents but this team now is playing like the Warriors style of play.

[YuginKadoya]

I think the 2 games tomorrow is pretty much interesting to watch and will be another close much, and here are my picks for tomorrows game highlight in green are my picks

Philadelphia 76ers VS Los Angeles Lakers

Stake Odds for both teams, 1.72 for the 76ers, and 2.16 for the Lakers making the Los Angeles Lakers a slight underdog, right now Seth Curry and Shake Milton can not play because of injury while Danny Green is questionable if he can play, while the Lakers Kendrick Nunn is still out until Feb. 27 and Sekou Doumbouya and Anthony Davis is in question if they would play, but regardless of their return I think they can play, I think despite Joel Embiid great performance Lebron James is doing as much, I really think the 76ers defense right now is quite shaky but their offense will be incredible but I am going with the Lakers, Lebron James is doing a remarkable job in giving high score and the return of Anthony Davis, if he could play, will set up a good play for offense and defense.

Golden State Warriors VS Minnesota Timberwolves

Stake Odds are 1.42 for the Warriors and 3.00 for the Timberwolves, the Golden State is quite doing remarkable wins and having consecutive wins even with the games that are so close to losing, right now again James Wiseman, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala is out while Jaylen Nowell and Patrick Beverley is in question if they could play, I don't really know why the Warriors still gets the odds despite losing to the Timberwolves on their last match well I think it is because of how Jonathan Kuminga replaced Draymond Green on his position and doing as remarkable as he does, I think they can surely manage to pull out this time a win against the Timberwolves.

[danherbias07]

Early pick. We only have 2 games for today so might as well maximize it.
Golden State Warriors versus Minnesota Timberwolves - Warriors -6.5. Going for Wiggins player props and I hope I can hit it this time. They have a history and Wiggins always wants to prove he is better and T'wolves made a bad decision letting him go.

76ers versus LA LAkers - 76ers -3.5 I do believe Lakers are improving but not as good as to beat the 76ers. Good luck everyone.

Yeah, who would forgot the two dunks he had against KAT?

Yes, I bet early even before I saw your post. Joel is putting MVP numbers at this is going to be in Philly, so for sure they want to put up a show with their fans. Sixers have gotten over the Ben Simmons drama and they have build a momentum already without Ben.

I think it's the favorites I'll also be going to with tonight, I'll be taking the Warriors against Timberwolves though, instead of 76ers against Lakers.

Lakers are really inconsistent and despite the fact they've been doing much better lately, I'm still not convinced about what to expect from and AD has been a really problem solver since he got back.

Warriors -5.5 would be my bet.

I have to ride on this one, Warriors are hot now, they can't lose at home even against the Wolves although the Wolves are doing well lately. Warriors are already in 3 winning streak, but beating the Mavericks last time with a very big margin is already a good reason why we have to back them tonight.

[stadus]

Everyone seemed to be trusting the 76ers here to win. Well, as I always said, I still don't like the Lakers due to inconsistency, therefore I will also fade them tonight and go with the 76ers -4. Good luck everyone, let's win tonight. 

[ralle14]

Yup, that was such a tease whenever they chunk the lead down to 2 then Suns start to create a small run of their own. They came close a couple of times but Booker was just on fire.

Taking the Warriors -6.5 next, they dumpstered the Mavericks in their last game and I think they will do the same against the Timberwolves as their recent h2h shows that it's always the home team who comes out on top.

No LeBron tonight makes that a pretty good move. I’m still trying to decide if I want to bet against the Lakers or not. Surely seems like the right move. Might have to take a quick look at the odds before the game starts here in a few minutes. I honestly don’t think the Lakers can beat them without LeBron or AD, especially if Howard isn’t going to be getting minutes. Seems like a no brainer, but after yesterday’s no brainer worked out, I feel like this might be a gamblers trap. LOL, if there is such a thing. Still, Sixers got this… Maybe I will toss a few sats at them.

I wasn't aware that Lebron is not going to play, but I still have the Sixers with a handicap win so I guess everyone is happy in riding with the Sixers.

The Warriors vs Wolves game is still close though, I have -6.5 but they just lead by 5 points in the middle of the 3rd quarter. And the Warriors are strong in the 3rd quarter so I'm expecting that they are going to close it out with a good lead or at least have the handicap already.
