NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Harkorede]

Tomorrow is the start of the playoffs, there are 4 games but I only like 2 games on the board.

(1) I like the spurs to upset the Denver in the first game, betting on the ML, no point spread for this as I'm too confident for my team.
(2) Warriors -12.5, I believe they can win the first game and will dominate the Clippers, -12.5 is high but this is playoffs.

From my own perspective, playoffs or not - 12.5 is quite a high line, and I'll not be going for such a line, at least not at the first matches. Warriors are capable of pulling such feat as we've seen numerous times during the regular season, but I'd just rather bet on quarter bet with a low line or simply go for another match within the -2.5/+2.5 to - 6.5/+6.5

I agree with your assessment that high spread lines in playoffs are unlikely, but in this case, I won't be surprised to see GSW reminding everyone who is the reigning champion, making a statement and blowout LAC. If there's one team GSW hates the most, it's the Clippers and Doc Rivers, given the battles these two teams have had in recent years.

I expect a home win (+ 15pts) unless...Curry re-injures his ankle or KD and Draymond start fighting midway through the game.

Totally see what you are saying there cause gsw are known to get into foul troubles near the end of their games. Draymond is just a high strung player it is hard for the referees not to look his way all the time.
With Lou williams for the clippers being the best offensive player this year you are probably best not to to any chance on the score line.

Playoffs start with a bang. Magic up 8 points at the half vs Raptors (was 16 with a min. something) I didn't see that coming. 

Philly gonna have a hard time against the Nets, that guard play Russel, LeVert and Dinwiddie isoing on Redick and picking their bigs off a switch - good luck. JoJo obviously hurt, he shouldn't have played.

And to drop my pick for today, I'm very high on the Nuggets to make a deep run in the playoffs. DEN -5.5

[Distinctin]

2 of the home favorites this start of the playoffs loss already.

Toronto 101 - Magic  104  
*missing link for toronto, lowry does not score a single point


Sixers 102 -  Nets 111
*missing link for sixers, tobias harris with 4 points only and JJ Redick 5 points.

I guess no one saw that coming for the first two games, However,  I started off my bet with a win on Raptors though, I had them on the 1st quarter - 2.5 but could have thought they'd go on to lose the game

I can't seem to be confident with a quarter bet, you are good at it, so keep it up.
Clippers as well is competing with the warriors now, it's now a single digit lead for the warriors, could this be another surprise?

Warriors sealed the game as expected, 121-104 making it sure to have a good advantage, I'm surprised with raptors and Sixers losing their first game
some of  those key players didn't score well letting their opponents to snatch away the game from them.

Still have the last game between Denver and Spurs, seems interesting as Spurs leading 10 points in this first half, another disappointment?

[Viscore]

If the Spurs will win in today's game, it would be 3-1 in favor of the road team.
Nuggets is still holding in the game, they have a chance to still win this game as there's plenty of time left, 6 minutes is plenty of time.

Spurs won the game! And 3 - 1 lead for the road teams it is... I think this is going to be a surprising playoffs and we could be in for a lot more.

Indeed! They reminded other opponents of what team to watch out for. So far, they are the only team to win the game as the favorite. They could retain their championship if they continue with such momentum, but It's still too early to judge.

I don't know if we are unanimous here that the OKC will win in the series, tomorrow it will be the first game we will see if the Blazers
will feel the absence of J. Nurkic.  I'm not going to bet right now, PG is questionable if he will play (https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/injury-report), I will wait for the announcement and if he is available, will take the Thunder to win.

I'm not sure, but maybe I'm the black sheep here because I have placed a bet on the Blazers to win -2.5

Today's game Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers


My first pick from the Playoffs will be on the Boston Celtics against, I hope trending upset in favor of the road teams doesn't extend to this game, I'm going for the Cetics - 7.5 for a 1.93 odds.




Celtics - 7.5

I had them for an ml win with another bet on a soccer match that went arye earlier on so just need them to win this game but they are down 6 points in the first half. Sheesh!
As soon as I bet they will lose now wont they?!

If you will compare the statistics of Celtics and Pacers you can have a similar statistics. They have a simillar on assist, points, rebounds(less board for celtics). Basically, Pacers are just Celtics last year without their superstar. I think -7.5 is a good choice. Pacers have a good chance on this round.

Celtics are making a comeback in the second half and pacers are barely scoring only one of their shots went in before the goal tending was committed by boston.
But they usually have difficulty closing their games and are without marcus smart this game.
So dont know how this will go.
They are up 10 points now but still a quarter and a half to go.

[morvillz7z]

I was going to post at halftime and say that Pacers look great/ready to play and Celtics will have a hard time to get a positive result. Then there is the third quarter, Indiana literally forgot how to play basketball, haven't seen anything like that in a long time, 18pt turnaround. Congrats on the win @Harkorede!

I'm not making bets anytime soon, my bankroll has almost disappeared due to a 3 game losing streak. Can't fucking catch a break.

Sorry to hear that morvillz7z cause your previous picks were pretty solid and your explained why you did them. But once again it is the playoffs and every teams game play from the way they played in the regular season has changed so you can not predict how they will end the same way as before.
Atleast harkorede got a good win with them covering the -7.5 but they were up 23 points at one point with 5 minutes left and thought pacers were going to ruin it in the last 2 minutes there coming within 10 points.
Atleast it won me back what I lost in an earlier bet I placed on this soccer team to win.

 Thanks mate, hopefully you'll get back better.

Halftime here, Blazers are up by 10 points, I hope they keep it that way

Indeed, pacers have showed up a best performance compare to other team who played in each game. Statistic do help us determine probable outcomes to achieve more competent bets. Hopefully they'll be owning their skilled and well trained superstars towards fulfilling the best game of the year. When championship game will commence, it's not impossible for them hit the winning legacy.
