NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Harkorede]

Didn't see this coming, seems grizzle is making a good ball rotations and have a good look with the rim, they have a comfortable lead early this 3rd quarter, though the game is not over yet and knowing the twist of 4th quarter anything can happen.

I already place with my handicapped gsw -8.5 and win with a huge difference, Cousins already showing his addition with the team.

I don't think anyone did see that coming either, I mean the Grizzles bossing  the first half of the game. I thought the OP was going to miss picking a match today, So before going to bed  I went in on an accumulated odd of 7+ from 4 picks. And I had the nuggets to win the 1st quarter.



 

Grizzlies is leading 20 points now, I think it's another losing day for OP.

Who would have thought the Denver Nuggets would eventually win the match and OP was within 3 points of winning. I guess It's just one of those days where you just can't win.

[Natalim]

Denver can actually cover this if they started strong in the first half.
It's one of the great come back this season, getting the rally in the 4th quarter alone, the score was 35-15, that was 20 point differential.
unfortunately, the -5.5 did not cover, you cannot win if it's not for you, better look for tomorrows pick and accept what happen today.
Being up over 50% is still gives you a profitable journey,

Where is OP for his picks for today?
Did he take a break for a bit to gather from the last loss?

I will predict for today Houston vs N.O Pelicans
Houston -7.5 points

Since the pelicans are in talks with the Davis not resigning with the team before the trade deadline next month.
So their heads will not be in the game cause of all the controversy swirling the team and their star player.
Where will their leadership come from now?
This will give the rockets the advantage tonight and Harden wants to keep his 30+ point a game streak alive.

I'm also waiting for this pick and wanted it to tail it again.

No doubt that Harden and the rest of the Rockets wants to get a win against N.O. They are in a roll as well, and with the Anthony Davis saga continues, I'm betting Rockets will take this one.

@rdase, what do you think of of -9.5 or -11.5 points for Houston?

[stadus]

Still positive minded despite of the 3 losing streak, we should not get affected by our emotion, either in a winning or losing streak, our emotion should always be stable. So going back to business.

Today's game

Lakers +7.6 vs Philly -7.5

Line open at +6.5 Lakers but move up since Butler is gonna play this game.
Coming from a loss, I think the Sixers will be very aggressive here, we can always count on Embiid to be beast again tonight.

Therefore, I'm very comfortable with my bet today.

Leaning on the Philly sixers -7.5

[Viscore]

I like you pick, the Lakers are not good without Lebron, they won their last game but it's against a bad team.
They will be player the sixers today, it's not easy for them because sixers have good all stars in their roster, I guess it's another easy win for the sixers.
Last time they have a good game was when beating the Rockets at home, actually dominating them.

Let me tail this one for once.

As @Viscore have set, no Lebron, no Lonzo Ball, no win for the Lakers against 6'ers with Embid (return), Butler (return) and Simmons playing very well right now.

They are also the 2nd seed in the East so this is an easy bet.

This is a late game and I can watch this one, so I will tail as well.

Let's help OP to be in the winning streak again, yesterday was a loss because it didn't cover but this time it should be easy.
Embiid is unstoppable, no big man in the Lakers can stop him...

I think Zubac will not continue his brilliance tonight as his task is very hard againts Joel.

Since stadus is back and gave his pick for todays last nba game of the day.
I'll say go with that instead.
Looks like rockets will be making it a tight one with the last quarter left and they are behind by 2 points.

That's the spirit buds, knowing that luck is not always there but since you also have a good streak before this three straight loses might be a turning favor for this one, with Butler's presence and Embiid domination inside lakers needs a lots of pressures to prevent embiid to get the ball and penetrate inside.

Wasn't able to tail this one as Wizard ruin my parlays, it's really bad when greedy comes up and thinks that you have a right pick., Oh well good luck to you
buds and those who able to tail this game still have a chance as the game not started yet.

Good start for the sixers, they are up double digit now and it seems they will win easy.
Embiid and Butler are showing early, and their defense is also good.

Let's update ourselves here, I'm watching the game now, and I like our chances today.

[rdbase]

Lakers are shooting like crap and Mcgee just missed a dunk.
Butler is killing them on his own with those two steals and drives to the lane for lay ups.
The -7.5 is looking like it will hit.
I took -9.5 and sportsbook took it off live betting for some reason.
I think they dont want to be paying out alot of people who are betting on the game with the -10.5 available.
Hah!

Hah!

The first quarter alone, they already covered, this game will end up a 20 point win by the road team.
Lakers has no chance against a great team like the sixers, they give up early and I don't expect a rally from them, who will initiate that?

With no lebron nobody really. Rondo could but he was on the bench for so long.
Except if they expect Ingram to step up and lead this team which is not going to happen this season. He is still to young in this league and they already tried it last week when Rondo wasnt in the lineup.

*just while I posted lakers go on a 15-0 run.
Phila lead is down to 8 points.

Ingram is stepping up, scoring now with 26 points already, if this will continue they have a chance to be close in this game.
Still a double digit lead by the sixers, they are shooting too much 3 points, they should focus more on the paint where they dominated.

[stadus]

Finally, a big win for us guys, Thank you for the support once again, that was an easy one.  

Will analyze games tomorrow, and will come up with a pick shortly, keep the discussion alive here.

Today's game - Utah Jazz -1 vs Portland TrailBlazers +1

This is an interesting game as both are showing good lately.

Las 10 games stats

Jazz - 9-1 while Blazers - 7-3

In their previous game, the Blazers won on the road and they will avenge their loss tonight, however, I don't think they can do that because my man Lillard is back and they have an outstanding winning percentage at home.

Therefore.........

My pick is - Portland TrailBlazers ML

I only refreshed this thread page for  the last time  as I was a few seconds away from going to bed before Op made his pick, I had to tail this pick with an heavy eye, it paid off!!

We are back on track, now you know what ? Let's keep it that way!



Did any of you guys bookies offered the pick at an odd better than this ? If yes, which bookies is it ?

What is the play for tonight?
There is less than 2 hours left until the first match starts or are your predictions on the late night matches?
Would like to see your analysis on the timberwolves and the grizzlies tonight.
But both teams have been playing strong so tough to decide.

Moneyline:
If you are fine taking odds around @1.6 then choosing Twolves is not a bad choice. On first loss meeting against the Grizzlies, the core players didn't performed well and surely they will not let it happen again playing at the Target Center. Also, those core players did some nice productions on their recent games although commiting some numbers of turnovers really spoiled their momentum on those said games.

On the other hand choosing Grizzlies @2.4 is also not a bad choice but a risky one. Remember they blew a 25 big points large lead in their recent game against a much more dominant Denver Nuggests so surely they will try not to repeat that choking scene. And if they can managed to force Twolves doing some turnovers (like what Jazz did vs Twolves recently) possibility of snatching the game have higher chance.

Notes:
Grizzlies pound Twolves on their first meeting also on the Target center. But remember that Twolves become more improved as time passes by while Grizzlies became more incompetent especially playing at road games.

But in my case, taking Moneyline will just be an option. I preferred taking Over Points on these (209 @1.9).

Yours to decide.

Yes. I agree with you on both counts.
And with both Mike Conley and Marc Gasol to be on the trading block

It might disrupt the rhythm they have been having especially against the pacers before them nearly defeating the nuggets the other night.
