NBA 2024-2025 betting

[freedomgo]

My picks.
Dallas Mavericks vs Orlando Magic.
Dallas Mavericks -6.5 @1.97

This should be a good one as Mavericks played so well in their previous game and I think they can win even on the road.
KP is back and he'll give his best so the rumor that he will be traded will not happen.

Under 234.5 New Orleans Pelicans vs Utah Jazz @2.06
I'll be watching the Mavs game though to follow Nets vs Spurs game.

Good luck on this buddy!.. I can't bet on the under when Pelicans are playing, it's just like over is easy for them to hit, especially that the line is 234.. if it's 220 and below, I might bet on it.

Ya, both the Jazz and Pelicans are pretty high scorers. Granted my ability to accurately pick the winners in sports bets leaves room for improvement but I’d be looking to bed the over here. Sure 234 points is a high mark for an NBA game, but these two teams will be running and gunning.

Thanks for agreeing with @danherbias07 pick, I also thought of betting the over as Pelicans does not play defense, they are consistently hitting more points and I think it's a more offensive battle between the two which is happening tonight, 234 might be high but I've seen games by Pelicans which the totals hit over 250, so it's sure easy.

[Fredomago]

I did not expect this complete domination by the Lakers, that's a 26 points win, I should have put a bet on that. 

Anyway, congratulations to us, James indeed play and I like how they were able to balance the offense in this game.

That was easier than expected to be candid!

Lakers shared the ball too well, it's no question that this pick was another additional win for @stadus. Congrats as it was been done
easily, Green went out due to some injury GSW coaches let him rest.

They don't need to push him as he's really needed if they wanted to continue chasing for the next round.

In Lakers side, LeBron leads the scoring but the rest did contribute, good to see them playing like this.

You know when they started winning again?

That was when Dennis Schröder was back in the line up, with him the ball rotation is more better as he can contribute a lot on the assists and points department, that's what the Lakers are missing when they are in a cold streak.

Nets vs Spurs, Anyone?

You are all right. I thought Jazz will play defense and will try to stop the offensive battle against the Pelicans.
Congratulations to all of you if you bet against mine.  
I also loss my bet for the Mavs with just 1 more point needed.
Maybe that is why I am looking at -5.5 yesterday. Those are my instincts but, I got greedy. Lesson learned.

Nets won at overtime. The clearpath foul by DeRozan was turned down even if its obvious.
Refs are becoming unpredictable like Bitcoin.

Uhm last tickets were not so good for me when it comes to NBA as I had Pacers to win against Celtics and last night I had Nets to win so today I'm going with the following picks :

Knicks ML

Grizzlies ML

HEAT +3.5

What do you guys think ? Should I place a multi-bet or 3 single bets ? we all know how it feels to hit 2/3 events on same ticket...

Did you put a multi bet on this? If yes then you are so lucky as all of your picks won.
Congratulations @boltz, all of your pick win by double digit, that was an easy win for you I'm sure.

So we have a game on Nets vs Spurs?

What do you think? What team we should side here?

Well I can't believe it.  Had the over 233 in the game and thought with a minute or so left nets up by 10 no way.  Turned off my TV and woke up to find out spurs crawled back last second to tie it to go to overtime.  Then in overtime they took it over 233.  That was the luckiest win I've seen in awhile. Will take it:)

Tonight I have the lakers/suns under 216.5 and the heat/hawks over 220.  Lets hope i don't need overtime for today too

Nuggets on the road is a tough one, especially after the Bucks showing against the clips.  I do like the ML figure for the Suns in this one but also struggle with betting against any lebron team at home.  Seems like a disaster as soon as I bet it.  Going to stick with the under on that one.  Either way hopefully suns win but game doesn't reach 214 points

Reid would always of Nuggets in such circumstances, Lol!

I'm more interested in backing the Lakers ML vs Phoenix Suns today, the odds is currently valued @1.84 and the -1.5 @ 1.90

Lakers have won 2 straight but I believe this is a tough game for them as the Suns are also playing their best basketball so far. If Chris Paul will play then I'm afraid I'll be on the opposite side as I believe Lakers are still not complete and they might still struggle against a better team that the last two they beat.

I don’t know if I’ll bet it, but I’ll be watching the game. I feel like it could go either way. The Suns are playing great and the Lakers are without Anthony Davis... If the Suns were ever going to beat them it would be tonight. Maybe I’ll put a couple of dollars on it to keep it interesting, but at this point it might as well be flipping a coin.

I'm three straight days in profit with my best record last night 14/18, ever since i switched from parlays to singles things have turned around nicely.

I will likely end up with 15+ selections today, lol yes i like volume (currently with 11), here's a few lines that i like:

Kemba Walker O18.5 pts @1.88  won
He is coming off two great and much-needed performances for the Celtics, Brown is back in the lineup but he's been bothered with knee injury, so it's again Kemba and Tatum for the home side.

Trae Young 1+ steals @1.53 won
He did record two steals vs. Miami just the other day, though it's tricky whenever a team gets a new coach. Nate McMillan is known for being a good defense coach, i could see the Hawks put up decent effort on defense.

Julius Randle O23.5 pts @1.88 lost
I feel like it's a good matchup for Randle vs. Spurs bigs Poeltl/Lyles who are playing on a back-to-back (including OT), he should be able to dominate, as well as the Knicks. Randle has scored 25 or more points in 4 of their last 5 games, he is also leading the league in minutes played and is somewhere top in attempted field-goals per game.

Congrats to you.  Leaving the parlay world and not looking back is a solid route.  Nothing like hitting 4 legs and losing the 5th to crush your ticket.  Parlays are a quick way to ruin your stack.  Every now and again I will put one in but single bets are the way to go.

I feel Lakers have a pretty good chance at winning the game even though Suns are the bookies favorite. That said, I went with a small ML bet on Lakers. Hopefully LeBron James will do enough to see it through. Funny how my win would be your gain and vice versa.

Anyway, good luck with your bets. Let's see how it goes. The game is about to start.

Edit:  Lakers lost to Suns 104 - 114.  I thought they would put up a stronger performance and win but I was wrong. Congrats @Ried. Nuggets delivered too in style (over 30 points spread).

[Reid]

Reid would always of Nuggets in such circumstances, Lol!

That's true.
If I don't bet for the Nuggets then I won't for the team they are against.
I'd rather just watch the game. Happens most of the time when they are up against the Mavs or Nets.

Damn, congratulations.
I have switched for a long time since I had been losing my betbuilders and parlays.
Also stopped making crazy bets. Maybe I'll do it again when my budget becomes wider.

Nice win, all are easy win, especially the Nuggets.
Lakers tried but Suns are just too much as they as a team trust each other so much, we can see on the ball movement.

Chris Paul had only 8 points but he is in double digit in assist, what a good game for the team as all the starters are in double digit, expect paul.

[stadus]

Here's my pick tonight.

Game: Brooklyn Nets vs Houston Rockets.

I have hard time finding a good spread on the games available so I'm putting bet on the total.
This game, I think it's not gonna be a high scoring game as we usually witness for the Nets, Rockets still hasn't won a game yet so defense is still there.

Therefore my bet is under 228.5, GL!

That's an incredible streak. Congratulations! I'm also considering single bets on my players props.

I'll be in on this one, this should hit except the Rockets are making easy buckets too, but from a team that has scored 100 or less in 4 of their last 5 fixtures, I don't expect much, tbh.

[morvillz7z]

@Harkorede, @Reid, @wheelz1200 thanks for the nice words! My streak is still alive as i did very well last night too, 10/15 + 1 voided.

Don't have many lines for the first couple of games except for Nets and Raptors moneylines @1.54 lost

The spread for Nets game opened at -6.5 which is practically free money given the form the visiting team is right now (including a 49pts loss to the goddamn Grizzlies). So yeah, i missed it and it's currently at -9.5 which is still pretty doable imo but i got the ml, i don't discriminate between high and low odds.  

Raptors / Pistons missing players on both teams, but without Detroit's best starter (Grant) and best bench player (J. Jackson), i don't think they can do anything more than lose 4th in a row. Lowry, Powell, and Boucher should be enough for the Raptors as they have been steadily climbing the standings in the East after a slow start of the season.

edit;
Dwane Casey still pissy he got fired from the Raptors after being named COT lol, his guys went bonkers from 3, Ellington with 8 3s lol
Rest of my picks not looking particularly great atm, it will be a miracle if i get it to 50%.
A cool off day i guess after 4 in green, it was to be expected.

Gl, everyone!
