NBA 2024-2025 betting

[carlisle1]

Bookies should come up with odds/markets an hour or two before the game, or soon as they get clarity on who is going to play and who is not.

Anyways, i'm super excited! The NBA is back! 

Odds are now available, we only have one game in the opening of NBA preseason.

Los Angeles Lakers -3.5 vs Brooklyn Nets +3.5.

Hard to tell since this is just a preseason game, but I think the value here is on the underdog team, so I'll not go for the spread, instead I'm talking the Nets moneyline at 2.35.

Good luck on that, no Westbrook and Lebron for the Lakers, while no KD, Irving, and Harden on the Nets.

This is a good match-up, who knows Nets would win this game and the good thing also that Aldrige is back and has been playing really well in this game.
ML is worth it, I guess. 

If you bet for the Nets as an underdog  the result favors you, without the trio Nets managed to win.

The second squad of Nets shows good jive together they win the game with a very decent leads,
It's just first game and only in pre-season nothing affects the overall performance of the team.

In the side of Nets, Aldridge is playing and even in lesser minutes it shows that he still have it
and he look like healthy.

Bump, it's that time of the year! 

We are back! Yes! This will be an exciting year.
I am glad AD is playing very healthy and let the Lakers fan have a peek of how he will do it this year. Lakers is truly scary and we haven't even seen WB and LBJ.
Sadly, I forgot to put my bets and Stake.com doesn't offer bets for the preseason. (or did I miss it.)
Checked Sportsbet and I also don't see anything listed for tomorrow but just for October 20 games. Anyone have an idea if they input it before the games or they just don't?

Sportsbet offered a line for the Lakers vs Nets, maybe you miss the game because it's too early.

We have plenty of games tomorrow, and there are lines that are already available.

Thanks a lot, good start for me so I will try to make it a winning streak.

Thank you Viscore and stadus. So I was just early to check at both sites this morning (my timezone) that's why I didn't see it. I appreciate putting the link for the easy direction.   I owe you some merits if I can accumulate someday.
Let's put our bets!
Raptors vs 76ers - 76ers ML
Despite the Ben Simmons drama, I do think 76ers still have the advantage when it comes to their bench players.
Trail Blazers vs GSW - GSW ML
Kings vs Suns - Suns ML

I'll stay with single bets for now and will just try to heat up. Maybe next time I will take the parlays.

New York Nicks VS Indiana Pacers

It is a close odds for these two at stake.com 1.76 for Knicks and 1.96 for the Pacers, and I think both teams will do their best to build momentum for the upcoming regular season, that is why they need a strong preseason campaign, even though heading into the preseason without their key players and have brought back Rick Carlisle as their head coach, I would pick Indiana Pacers even without Caris LeVert because of Stress fracture and Edmond Sumner because of the recent tearing of his Achilles.

New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers - Knicks ML
I don't know why last year champions are underdogs against the Memphis Grizzlies. I am sure they will bench their stars but they still have a good roleplayers that could reverse the outcome. I think it's just because of the homecourt advantage that gave them the upper hand.
Grizzlies vs Bucks - Bucks ML
Good luck bro. 1/3 for me yesterday, I wish to get it back later.

Wouldn't they be too disadvantaged if they have two of their good players gone for awhile due to injury? Pretty sure that they're going to have a hard time playing especially if they're a key players to the Pacers.

If on a regular season that's a big disadvantage but during this preseason, it won't matter much.

Just wondering if Knicks stars will play? I really love seeing DRose playing healthy once again, with Walker and Fournier to back him
These two stars can bring good impact to their offense.

Knicks coach needs to balance all his guards. They are all good chemistry will be the big factor here, if all the players will help each other
they might be coming back to the playoffs again.

Waiting on the Grizzlies to get my first parlay win of the preseason. The game was stopped after the third quarter, some kinda fire alarm went off. Not sure if they will finish the game or not.

A fire alarm went off during the Bucks-Grizzlies game
Fans were evacuated from the building, and both teams went to their locker rooms

Here's a few quick thoughts on the Knicks and Bulls:

Kemba and Fournier are excellent additions to the Knicks. Randle is no longer the playmaker, scorer, or mr. everything, which should help tremendously in improving team's shot quality/selection. Fournier is a significant upgrade over Bullock, he can not only catch and shoot, but he can also create and is a underrated passer. With those two in the starting lineup, the Knicks' spacing and overall ball movement are so much better.

Billy Donovan used a small lineup that included four guards/sf and Vucevic as the center. This year's Bulls will be a fun team to watch. With DeRozan and Lonzo in the lineup, the Bulls have lots of playmaking, pace, and shooting. I'm not sure how that will translate into the postseason (assuming they make the playoffs), but they should be fine during the regular season.

The knicks played so solid, the starters played big minutes so they dominated the Pacers. It's a new look Knicks now and once again, I'm seeing the good numbers from Julius Randle, he scored 20 points and played almost 30 minutes, hopefully, this guy will mature and will not tank in the playoffs, it's hard to watch the Knicks struggles because Randle struggles.

[danherbias07]

Nice win bro. Congratulations. All home teams won for this day. 1 of 2 for me.

I agree with the Fournier analysis and it looks like the floor will be stretched for the Knicks with Kemba around unlike last year where if Randle is having an off night they are having troubles looking for an outside shooter. A young core team guided by veterans will be a team to look at. They had a good spot in the playoffs last year and I bet it will better now.

Hopefully that will happen. Randle is still young and has a lot to improve.

with the help of those veteran stars who have much deeper experienced he might learn how to balance,
all in all, the guy already gaining star caliber player.

I like Fournier visions. He's quietly facilitating a good passer and a deadly shooter if chance gives him the open look.

Knicks is more improve stats wise but still too early to say if how good they will go this season, looking forward to see more plays like this when the regular season start.

At first, I was going to bet for the Indiana Pacers but eventually change my mind due, to the fact that the injured players were their key players, and New York Knick having their players at 100% means they are playing at their top caliber,

Wouldn't they be too disadvantaged if they have two of their good players gone for awhile due to injury? Pretty sure that they're going to have a hard time playing especially if they're a key players to the Pacers.

Yup! I have eventually changed my bet on final moments and my intuition to change was right Julius Randle done a great job giving 20 pts to the team, RJ Barrett did 17, Kemba Walker did 12 while Derrick Rose just put up 8 Pts, and have played 21 mins inside, but even though their performance and team work were great than with the Pacers.

The score was properly distributed, they are scoring well as a team and they don't only rely on one player, and I have that's what we are going to see in the regular season, Knicks is also an offensive power team, though they are lead by young players but they are in the East, they have a good chance to be in the playoffs and maybe at least advance in the 2nd round.

[danherbias07]

Just out of curiosity, those who bet for the Grizzlies or the Bucks earlier, were your bets also voided? Mine was. What if it's in parlay like morvillz7z? Will it still be considered as a parlay win or will it be re-calculated?

Bets ready.
Phoenix Suns vs LA Lakers - Suns
Detroit Pistons vs SA Spurs - Spurs
Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers - Hawks
Going for a parlay on this one. Hoping for a lucky day. Cheers to all the winners earlier and good luck.

Feels pretty good to have the thread up and running again, I've not been the best fan betting on the preseason, due to the fact that I feel the competition is not up to standard and bets could easily go either ways, but I'll be keeping tabs and maybe tailing one or two.

He had experienced a defeat in the playoffs from a team that was expecting him, I'm sure he learn from that mistake already and  although he has a good stats last season, he should realize that there's more to improve as he was limited during the playoffs.

How about you share mate and we will just tail, kidding! but you can always do so as this thread is for everyone, we are free to tail or fade and for me, I will just tail on a poster that is hot, no questions ask.

+1 to the vote for Harkorede to share. 
I loss my bets again, I guess I can see some tips when the real season starts. For now I will use my bad skills at analyzing the preseason.
We just have 3 games for tomorrow so I guess I will try to parlay it again but this time I will bet for teams with higher odds to win the game.
Charlotte Hornets vs Memphis Grizzlies - Hornets (this has a close gap with 1.83 Hornets and 1.87 Grizzlies)
Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors - 76ers
Houston Rockets vs Miami Heat - Heat
@3.54 total parlay. That should be enough. Cheers!

Just enjoy the preseason and we will start the real business once the regular season starts. It's hard to cap games now, star players aren't playing and we never know if, in the end, the team will play hard or will just give it away to their opponent. At this time, I suggest beating on the weaker teams as they have a better chance since they play harder and will not give their main players plenty of rest.
