NBA 2023-2024 betting

[wheelz1200]

2nd losing streak. It's not good but I am still hoping I could start a new winning streak this time.
Careful with those who will bet for the Bucks, looking at injury reports Giannis will be probable and the rest of their stars are ruled out. Middleton, Jrue, and Lopez.
That's why the odds are too good to be true against Pistons @1.55.
Suns versus the Pelicans though might be a good choice. +13.5 for the Pelicans sound good to me but I might put it before the game starts because of the listed probable to play like Ingram.

My early bet will be for the Lakers -8.5. Cheers.

If Ingram is playing that's too much for me.  He can fill up the scoreboard, they might not beat the Suns but even if they are down 18-20 points he can rip off quick points to cover in the end.  And good luck with the Lakers I can't just bet on them yet.  To unsteady game to game at this point still.

[Harkorede]

Here's my pick for tomorrow's game:

Jazz vs Sacramento - I think the Utah Jazz can cover the spread -7.5 here.
Houston vs Lakers - with the way Lakers are playing, -9.5 or even as high as -10.5.

Good luck to all bettors.

I'm taking this as well... I just confirmed the roster, this should be interesting.

The line has moved to -8.5, but I'm settling with -7.5, and also putting a few on the Over 22.5 as well.

The -7.5 is not gonna win, 1 point game now with 8 seconds left, wish that this game would go to OT so there's a chance that the Lakers will cover.

It's really hard to trust the lakers now.

And... you are right. They are unstable or unsteady. Volatile like Bitcoin. 
Should've gone for +8.5 instead for the Rockets but it hit my brain too late to change my bets. Well, it's a good try since I had not been betting on them for a long time. Perhaps, I will give them more time to find out their chemistry.
Yes, they won the game but those 3 quarters are really bad and Houston had the lead until the fourth quarter came. Jalen Green even gave them the goosebumps before they could savor the W.

That 3 point shot of Jalen Green gives the Rockets a chance to win. Lakers are lucky the Rockets again fall short and they snatch a win. Look, the Rockets are actually a weak team and the Lakers could not dominate them, they played twice in less than a week but they could not totally dominate the rockets, so I'm afraid they'll lose again once they'll start playing playoff teams.

Lakers' next game is against the OKC, not a playoff team again but they lose against this team the last time they met, let's see.

Lol, they are leading 10 down 1:40 with Bazemore FT. And then suddenly the referee nullified it because Houston is not in the penalty yet so that's -2 points.

And then Green come up big with huge 3 points in the dying seconds, giving the Lakers the scare. Monk just hit 1 out of 2 FT. And Houston has the chance to win it but they missed the 3 point in the last 6 seconds. It should have Green who take that last shot, because he is hot.

If Jalen Green could have been inserted early in the fourth, this could have been a different outcome. James went on a shooting spree in the last 2-4 minutes in the fourth, putting them ahead for good. But the Houston Rockets keeps coming back. So if Green could have somewhat contributed 3 points early when the Lakers are starting to have their run, it might be close or at least they should have taken the lead and not trying to do catch up which they fall short. So I would say that this is a lucky win by the Lakers.

I think both teams had done a great job, in pursuing a score, but Lebron just fired up he turned lit at getting a score, the moment when he passes to Austin Reaves the only score Reaves got in that game, but yes Jalen Green should be there early in the 4th quarter but I guess the Lakers has seen some opportunity with that so they keep on scoring until the game ends, We can say it is a lucky game for the Lakers but for me, I just think they did pretty well against the Rockets, I am not a fan of both teams, but I just say what I think I just saw,

Houston Rockets is a great team with great fresh new players and faces playing on the Rockets, while the LA Lakers have veterans that I think could draw out the potential of the young ones.

I am not sure the reason why they did not get inserted early, but AFAIR, Green was awful in the previous game against the Lakers which he only made 7 points but, so that's probably the reason. However, looking at his minutes played, he played 37:50 minutes, so the coach is still confident with him.

Honestly, I don't expect the Rockets to give a tough game to the Lakers but they did well even if they lose.

It's the weakest vs the strongest team in the NBA now, so nobody would expect that they'll win, but for bettors, they understand how the Lakers struggle so far, and putting a bet against the lakers using the handicap betting is a good strategy to win.

Their last two games, rockets cover the handicap.

last night, Lakers is -11 but only won by 2 points... prior to this, Lakers is -11 too but only won by 10 points.

[danherbias07]

It should have Green who take that last shot, because he is hot.

Lakers locked him down, I guess Frank Vogel knew they will try to force the ball to him because of his hot hands. It could've been a devastating loss for the Lakers if ever that shot went in or if Green got the ball and all of them are staring at slow-mo if the shot will go down. 

76ers versus the Bulls later. I am being dragged by the hype so I am betting for the underdogs which are the Bulls. ML @2.12
Another game is Nets vs the Hawks. Will be on the side of the Nets here with homecourt advantage. Pick one to watch or open 2 televisions at the same time. Cheers!

The line has moved to -8.5, but I'm settling with -7.5, and also putting a few on the Over 223.5 as well.

The -7.5 is not gonna win, 1 point game now with 8 seconds left, wish that this game would go to OT so there's a chance that the Lakers will cover.

It's really hard to trust the lakers now.

My bet was actually on the Kings vs Jazz not Lakers game, I'm sorry, If my post was confusing.. I lost the bet as well, but I was able to get almost even with the Over bet which I won...

I watched the Lakers game, and I think it was all down to how they prepared for the game,, that's why I really don't like taking double digits bets, especially when I think the favorites have tougher fixtures on the horizon, imagine what almost happened with the Suns as well, they easily could have lost the game as well, and the 12 points win really didn't do justice to how the game went down.

[wheelz1200]

Tonight has a good couple games on the line up.  I like the cavs getting 5.5 at home, knicks giving 1 on the road and the Nets giving 5 at home.  I think atlanta will struggle some this year with Trae not being able to bait e ery defense into aging soft.  Hope the Nets run them off the court.

[stadus]

Lose my previous bet but let's start again.

Game : GSW vs Charlotte

Charlotte is not a bad team but I like the Warriors more playing at home. The line is also convincing that i like to put more money with the home team, so with the current lineup of the Warriors which has a good 5-1 record, I have no doubt that they'll win and cover the spread.

Therefore my pick is  GSW -6

[Sanitough]

Any thoughts on the Bulls vs 76ers?

Both teams are doing pretty well, Bulls are surprising with 3-0 on the road and 6-1 ATS overall.
76ers, on the other hand, have a 3-1 home record, and I'm thinking if they'll win here they will likely cover the -2 spread.

What do you think, should I follow the hot Bulls or take the homecourt advantage for the 76ers?

[Dave1]

Jazz vs Sacramento - I think the Utah Jazz can cover the spread -7.5 here.
Houston vs Lakers - with the way Lakers are playing, -9.5 or even as high as -10.5.

Loss both of my handicap although they win but not enough to cover the spread.

Lakers really makes it hard for them to win every game, I mean they have a good ten point lead with less than 2 minutes, but they didn't score and allowing the Rockets to make a comeback and almost beat them again.

I'm talking Chicago Bull +1.5 against the Philly. Just bet one game today, will not rush to recoup my 2 losses. Just enough to get back on winning again (hopefully).

I'm tailing you on this...

I'm also going with Celtics -6.5 vs Orlando Magic, I know it seems like a no brainer, given how the Celtics and Tatum have been choking big time these days, but I won my bet on them the last time against the Hornets and it's the same mindset I'm having right now.

[Maslate]

What do you think, should I follow the hot Bulls or take the homecourt advantage for the 76ers?

This could go either way I think. I am not touching this game, it's hard to predict and I don't want to risk my money on something I'm not confident enough, maybe I'll put a very small amount for the sake of entertainment but I'll rather choose other games that I believe will give me more than 50% chance of winning.

My pick today is Brooklyn -4.5, I guess they are just too much for a struggling Atlanta Hawks, and since no one in this roster can stop Durant, I might also put a bet on the player props.

Currently the Sixers are are leading, I mean they are leading the whole game so far and have gotten as big as 15 point lead.

But the Bulls can't be count out, they keep coming back, Not sure if you have bet already, but Bulls is the underdog so maybe they can come back again just like they did against the Celtics.

Harden looks awful out there. 3 points in the first half and I’m not sure I’ve seen the guy break into a run yet. It’s pretty crazy how out of shape he got in one offseason. He’s like the opposite of Kobe Bryant. I’d love to hear Kobe’s opinion on the effort Harden is giving the NBA these last couple years. It’s almost disrespectful to the rest of the league’s players who take their job seriously.
