NBA 2024-2025 betting

Congrats in advance, Nuggets seems to be in control of this game. Jokic has been killing it thus far, already at 22 points now, still in the 2nd quarter. Damn Nuggets, this is a very early game in my timezone, I was not able to bet on this and I could not take them live now due to a big lead.

Maybe Nuggets bettors become more concerned a while ago and got surprised as Utah Jazz makes a surprising rally on the 3Q.

But Nuggets able to pindown them again on a big lead. 3 minutes remaining with 21 point lead, it's already a close deal.

Utah Jazz 11-game winning streak is now over.

My pick.

Game:

Toronto Raptors vs Orlando Magic.

I can't find a good match up that I think I could win, the point spread looks too normal and I don't want to take chances. What I saw is the match up of the Magic and Raptors, they are both in a losing streak so I'm thinking they are desperate to win, hence they will play good defense.

My pick would be Under 215.5

[morvillz7z]

My pick would be Under 215.5

Looks good on paper, Raptors are missing players (OG and N. Powell), Magic have a tendency of not crossing the 100pts mark on their away games (ask Harkorede), i think he had a few tickets ruined by them.

stats from covers.com:

Under is 9-2-1 in Magic last 12 games playing on 1 days rest.
Under is 5-1 in Raptors last 6 games playing on 1 days rest.

I can't find a good match up that I think I could win, the point spread looks too normal and I don't want to take chances.

Exactly why i'm sitting out today, every time i can't find anything interesting i just force things and end up losing with bets i don't like...no more.

Jazz finally lost, courtesy of the Joker and his 47/12!

That's what I'm thinking too, and also the line movement is quite convening that this will go under, I hope I'm right with my instinct. lol...

Just place a little bet man so you'll enjoy the night,

Anyway, good luck on your bet guys.

^ This has to be one of the unluckiest bets you've ever had, it was textbook UNDER.

Magic subbed out their bench forfeiting the game with 3 mins left (Raptors did 1 min later), and in that 3-minute span both teams scored almost 30pts, the cherry on top was the absolute garbage time 3pt by Jordan Bone with 8 seconds left to ruin your ticket: 217pts!...unbelievable

Just place a little bet man so you'll enjoy the night,

Thanks for the advice, i did, actually had two on the Nets/Wizards game:



Excellent game, wish there were fans in the stands, Wizards completed a crazy comeback, they were down big in the 1Q almost 20pts.
The very finish was insane with both Beal and Westbrook hitting 3s to take the lead.

[stadus]

Congrats @morvillz7z on that great win.. My bet lose, I was thinking it will easily hit the under but it did not happen, so I'll just bounce back tomorrow like I always do.

I am trembling at that moment. The lead was cut in single digit and it makes me worry.
Clarkson and Bogdanovic combined on their 3 point shootout was the dagger on that moment.
Thankfully, the Nuggets bounced back. They had a hard time defending Jokic below the rim with all his unpredictable moves. 

Early picks:
Rockets -5.5 vs OKC
Maybe it's time for Mavs to also bounce back.
Mavs -1.5 vs Suns

[stadus]

Here's my early picks as well

Dallas Mavericks vs Phoenix Suns.

I can't believe that Dallas are already in a 5 losing streak, I like this team so much so I'm betting that they will finally get a win against the Suns.
The betting odds is only -1.5 for the Mavericks, so I'm gonna take it and betting on the Dallas Mavericks to win by 11+ points @4.35 odds.

[Questat]

Mavs -1.5 vs Suns

The betting odds is only -1.5 for the Mavericks, so I'm gonna take it and betting on the Dallas Mavericks to win by 11+ points @4.35 odds.

I'll ride with you guys, but it's already at -2.5 now, it moved up by 1 point but it doesn't matter anyway, for a desperate team, they can win as many points as they can. Good luck and thanks.

I was about to say the same thing, I'll be riding on the train, even at that -2.5 spread.

I'll also be taking my betbuilder on the same matchup, sharing the selections very soon.

Elsewhere it's Celtics  -2.5 against the Dubs Nation as my alternative bet.

I was ready to go ham on A. Drummond's pts/reb total today, but he is ruled out and won't play. Cavs played T'Wolves last night and he got Shaq type of numbers 22 and 25. MIN run small lineups most of the time, no match for Drummond obviously, too bad he out.

Tough road trip for Detroit so i'm staying off the props there, Hornets with a new lineup (Rozier injury), so passing on this one as well.

I'm going with Nuggets ml + Rockets ml total odds 1.92 won ^{(DEN/DET game was postponed)}

Nuggets beating Detroit does not need any explanation, as for Rockets, they are on a nice 5 game winning streak playing @ OKC, a team that has a 1-6 home record. What i also like about HOU is that they are either first or second in the following categories (last 3): opponent ppg, defensive efficiency, opponent shooting %, opponent 3pt %, i love me teams that play defense.

Gl, everyone!  

[Reid]

Damn Rockets is really strong.
Someone could become rich betting for this team. 

Mavs and Suns. Wow. That was some game they showcased. Damn you! Booker. 
That three was a dagger.
I guess a lot of us lose that bet.

Yeah right! Crazy game at the dead end man, Chris Paul and Booker were surreal, I'm still in awe about he made that 3 look ridiculously easy he barely had a look, but Doncic almost got the last shot himself too, that could have been some ending too.

Big Shot Booker! what a game in front of Dallas fans that game winning shot isreally a exiciting, few seconds in the game clock Paul manage to give the ball to running booker then took it without any hesitation. Bang!   and Yes Luka also tried his luck but the double team bother his game winning shot attempt.

Not for the Dallas as they continue losing almost but Sun snatched this game from them, better luck next time 

[Reid]

Big Shot Booker!

That shot made me sad.  JK. It could've been a win for me @-1.5 if it didn't went in.

7.00 for Pistons against Utah Jazz.
Damn, it's calling me to bet for them.  High risk, high profit.
I'll just put just a little bet but, there is a chance this game will be postponed again.

Under 240.5 Trail Blazers vs Wizards.
Good luck guys.

[Harkorede]

I'll be going with my initial pick from yesterday which is:

Celtics vs Warriors: Celtics -2.5, Warriors have been playing quite well in recent times but most of those wins have come against weaker teams, I'll be expecting the Celtics to bounce back from their two consecutive losses.

I've also got two betbuilder bets for tonight:

1.  Lowry over 20 pnts + asts + rebs, pnts, Vucevic over 21.5, rebs - Siakam over 5.5 and rebs - Vucevic over 8.5 for 2.60 Odds

2.
rebounds - K. Durant over 4.5
points - K. Durant 20+
rebounds - J. Harden over 3.5
points + assists + rebounds - J. Harden 30+
points - Serge Ibaka over 11.5
rebounds - Serge Ibaka over 4.5

@ 3.15 Boosted Odds.

Clippers vs Nets. Anybody betting on this game?

Clippers are 9-10 on their last 10 games, while Nets are 7-10 with some disappointing loses.
I think Nets are not yet ready to face the Clippers, so Clippers could dominate them since they have been winning by a double digit points in average.

I hope you are right on this one mate because i also think the same.

Did bet for the Clippers as i think Net's chemistry is not yet solid and Clippers is a defensive team which could limit the point production on two of the Net's big 3.

Same here... I hope this is not a trap though. PG and Leonard is playing all that matters.

And I'm happy for Durant as he will play against his favorite player. 

Kevin Durant Says Paul George is his Favorite Player in the NBA (this was 4 years ago but PG is still at its best now)

Clippers vs Nets. Anybody betting on this game?

BKN are a mess defensively right now, Cavs beat them twice recently, and the Wizards scored 149pts on them, so yeah not looking good by any means.
I don't think LAC will have any problems winning tonight....to be on the safe side, i've taken the alternate spreads here:

Clippers +4.5 + U257.5 total pts + Irving O2.5 assists total odds 1.91 lost (1 assist away from having a winning day, instead 1/3)

Blazers @ Wizards O239.5 total odds 1.80 won

Just like the Nets, these two teams just don't play defense, bottom of the table in almost every defensive category (last 3), hence my pick is OVER in pts total.

Brogdon O2.5 rebs + T. J. McConnell 12+ pts/reb/ast + U236.5 total odds 1.80 lost

I don't see this to be a high-pace (lot of pts being scored) type of game, Pacers lost two in a row and need to bounce back. Brogdon is avg 4.3 rebounds on the season and has covered O2.5 in his last 3 games (at least), as for McConnell, he lead his team in assists (eight) in their last game coming off the bench, 12 doesn't seem much playing at home where i like to back role-players as they tend to perform better.
