NBA 2024-2025 betting

[Botnake]

I'm back with my pick again.
I Like Rockets vs Boston, and I would pick Boston here to win @-1.5... I don't know but I think I have become a Rockets hater since they traded Capela. lol.

Welcome back!  

I have checked the games for today and I'm in for Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers, Cleveland cavaliers have indeed improved under Bickerstaff with 3 - 1, If I'm not mistaken and one of those win was against 76ers, However, I'm backing Pacers here on the road as they've also got a great streak going on.

My Pick:

Indiana Pacers -6

Two win streak both at home, I could back them at home but I have doubt when they are playing on the road as they are not really a good team on the road. However, playing against the Cavaliers, I think they'll have a solid chance of covering the spread if they beat the Cavaliers, yes the Cavaliers won against the Sixers, but Embiid was injured that time if I am not mistaken .

My Pick:

Indiana Pacers -6

Good luck on your bet, hopefully our picks will hit.

Welcome back @stadus... the match up that you pick seems both teams have 50/50 chance of winning, I am not sure there's a value on it, as a gambler it could be just choosing which team do you like to win, nothing else, and with that I am not tailing this one.

I get what how you see the match up but I will stick with what I think is right, and I saw some value on the Celtics also, at HOME.
They beat the Clippers, so I will not doubt about their capability on beating any good teams.

Well, if that is what you are seeing, I wish you good luck, thank you for taking time to share your picks but there are games that I am not attractive especially the spread is very small, like I said this is like a 50/50 game as although the Celtics are doing great at home, Rockets has also been so hot lately and they will miss Walker here which is a big contributor.

This could be different because Walker did play against the Clippers, but I don't worry about that, I still trust them without Walker.
I'm thinking they'll do a revenge here with their loss on the road against the same team last Feb 11 this year.

So much injuries in Grizzlies team. I don't think they can win this against the strong Lakers.
Boston vs Houston though might be a good game. I will watch this one rather than watching the Lakers hammering the Grizzlies. 

My bets for tonight.
Houston -1.5 @1.94

Same with Warriors. Too many injured players.
Difficult to risk even against the Suns.  But I am greedy. So let's go Warriors!!  @4.90

[bbc.reporter]

You are betting against the Celtics on their home stadium and with a handicap?  That might be a mistake.

In any case, a prediction. I reckon Giannis will not extend his contract if the Bucks do not reach the finals again.

[Harkorede]

My Pick:

Indiana Pacers -6

And that makes it 4 in a row!

Look at you! Greediness got you your bet on the Warriors (Congrats!) but, if only you were more greedy you'd have bagged another 5+ Odds from Grizzlies vs Lakers, what a total shambles from Le Bron and co. They won just a single quarter (4th Quarter), that was an epic fail!

What the FAT!!!
Holy Macintosh!  
So I am not that greedy yet.
I did not really expect that. Should've wasted even just a little money for Grizzlies.
There will be no more next time for this. Did you do it?

I am going to train in Mount Greed to be more greedy.  
I may have lose the Houston game but gained more with the Warriors.

Yeah, I made a .5 mistake.

[Harkorede]

Did you do it?

Oh, no I didn't. Grizzlies against Lakers with Bron and AD available, I never would have, to be honest.

I've not been into upsets and/or parlays these days, I can hardly find 3/4 games that I'm very comfortable with recently, so I'm just keeping the focus on my daily single bets.

I thought it was lol, at the first half, celtics had a very comfortable lead but in the 3rd quarter rockets made a big rally.
This was a close game as it went into OT so there's nothing to regret, I lose and I move one, there's still another game to comeback.

anyway, @harklode, you are doing great man, you are streaking hot right now. 

[Sanitough]

so I'm just keeping the focus on my daily single bets.

I think you should focus on where you are successful, thus far you are already in 4 winning streak if my counting is correct and I believe you can make it to 10  

I make my own analysis as well, not posting here sometimes but since you are hot, I would not hesitate to follow you.

Yeah,  I cannot do it too even with all the demons whispering to me. 
It is just not right, IMO.
I don't really know why, but I got scared betting against the Lakers these days although I want to for most of the times.
Same against the Bucks. Just looking at just how little amount of their losses will make you doubt to bet against them.

High odds again for later games.
Hornets @7.60 vs Bucks. - No, I wouldn't dare. 
Clippers vs 76ers @8.20 - Wow. No Embiid and Simmons. Nope!

This two though might be sweeter.
Warriors @3.05 vs Wizards
Kings vs Pistons @3.75

Who will bet for the Pelicans against the Lakers? They need that win. They might play harder now.

[freedomgo]

I do, Lakers are playing a back to back games, loss against the Memphis so Pelicans would try to win here so they'll have a good race with the Memphis in the playoff spot, most probably the last spot.

My main bet here though is the Nuggets to cover at home, after a loss on the road, they'll surely comeback and I can trust them at home.

Nuggets -5 is my pick and I am confident since Raptors does not have bigs to stop the Jokic on the paint.

I'm going Lakers on this...


I'm going with 2 picks for today, simply because I'm having a hard time choosing either.


1. Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks
Dallas Mavericks won the most recent match up between both sides, just about a week ago, though they were double-digits point favorite in that game. I'm backing on them to record another win on the road today in a good rhythm.


My Pick:
Dallas Mavericks -6.5


2. Pelicans vs Lakers
Lakers coming in back to back on this game, after a surprising defeat to Grizzlies last night, Pelicans indeed needs a win here as they are pushing a for playoff spot with only 1.5 games behind Grizzlies, but I think they'll live to air their desperations against another team.

My Pick:
Lakers -2.5

[morvillz7z]

My Pick:

Indiana Pacers -6

And that makes it 4 in a row!  

Congrats!
I couldn't follow you on the Pacers pick yesterday, spread jumped to -9.5 an hour before the game and i decided to pass. (Pacers won by 9)

You need 6 more correct picks to top my streak (9 in a row) from last season.

[stadus]

@Harkorede, you got an early win on the Dallas Mavericks, they easily covered that spread, now you only need the Lakers to win and cover for you to have a perfect night. GL as always. 

[morvillz7z]

Oh yeah, he is hot-streaking right now, i tried to jinx him twice but it didn't work...he can't miss.  

Why did i have to pick Kings at home though? They are down 15 points after the first quarter to Detroit. Pistons are supposed to lose, tank, get them L. They are about to screw another parlay for me. Well at least, i got my live bet right, on a low scoring game between the Bucks and Charlotte.

[Finestream]

Kings vs Pistons @3.75

Did you put your bet on this? Pistons are leading early, and I took them like winning 6+ points at a good odds.
I believe Kings will come back here and win the game,  , at the end of the day if you put your bet, either one of us will win, so GL to both of us here.

[Harkorede]

Oh, that was a good game from Mavericks, even with Doncic not playing, Seth Cury was impressive yet again after his monster show against the Heat, He's probably hotter than mean right now

Kings were able to close the gap to within one in the 2nd quarter and are now in the lead here in the 3rd, there should be no problems for them here on.

BTW for Pelicans vs Lakers: Anthony Davis will not play tonight, line has jumped to 1.5 for the Lakers all the from the initial -2.5, Let's wait and see.

[Reid]

Fun game happening between the Lakers and Pelicans.
The lead is just 2 points in favor of the Lakers team.

Pelicans don't want them getting away. Zion working his ass too to win this.
Just like I said, they really need this win if they want to play for the playoffs.
Already 17 points for the 1st half.
Good luck to the Pelicans bettors.  

I lose the Pistons game.

You still won at the end.   Congratulations.
