NBA 2024-2025 betting

@Natalim. We do share our picks before the game and most of the time it's really early like 8 hours before it starts or maybe more.
Whether following them or not is up to you. We just don't want to be blamed in the end.  
Your pick looks good but I am against the Clippers today. Miami Heat might be seeking revenge even if they are exhausted and the best way to show it is up against another Los Angeles.
My pick is Miami Heat +3.5. Just to be sure. Betting for the 76ers versus the Raptors might also be a good idea. If Green and Seth (questionable) will light up their 3 points shooting early then a win is easy to reach. The Raptors also just played yesterday.

I'll go with the Raptors, +2.5 here, and even if they are in a back to back games, they are the more healthier of the two teams here. Sixers are going to missed their key players so it's going to be difficult for them to sustain the full game.

Clippers for me vs Heat, -2.5. They have a big win against the Portland team, and PG13 is really playing like a MVP candidate again.

Good news for the Sixers is that Harris will be back in the line up.

unfortunately, they will still miss Embiid which I think gives the Raptors a chance to upset the home team.
By the way, the spread now is +4 for the Raps.

Clippers for me vs Heat, -2.5. They have a big win against the Portland team, and PG13 is really playing like a MVP candidate again.

No Butler, could be another win by the Clippers here.

Here's my pick.

Game: Boston vs Raptors.

I was looking at the stats and I was surprised that Boston has not won a game at home, they are 0-3 so far. Therefore I like to back them tonight to win against the Raptors who are 4-0 on the road. I expect an effort of Boston to get their first home win and hopefully, they'll cover the spread.

Bet : BOSTON -3

Got another big win again, and here's my early pick.

Game : Indiana Pacers vs Utah Jazz.

Jazz still undefeated at home but I think +9 handicap for the Pacers is too much. This is the 4th road game of the Pacers, of the last 3, they only won 1 game but two of their loses are by 3 points and 4 points only, so +9 is a value for me therefore I'm taking the Pacers here and probably a little bet on the ML.

Good luck!

Congratulations, I on the other hand have lost my last two bets 

I'm tailing you on the Indiana Pacers bet, the line has moved and it is currently +10.5 and I'll be taking that.

[Maslate]

Clippers for me vs Heat, -2.5. They have a big win against the Portland team, and PG13 is really playing like a MVP candidate again.

Clippers might win this, good for you the spread you took was only -2.5, now the line moves up to -4 because the Heat might probably miss Butler due to injury. I'm thinking maybe this will be a low-scoring game because they are in a back to back game, the 1st half will likely end up under as they might conserve their energy in the 2nd half.

First half under 107.5 is gonna be my pick.

My picks for today's game:

Cleaveland Cavaliers VS Washington Wizards

Orlando Magic VSBrooklyn Nets

Houston Rockets VS Detroit Piston

New York Knicks VS Milwaukee Bucks

Phoenix Suns VS Portland Trailblazer

Golden State Warriors VS Minnesota Timberwolves

I think it is not a bad thing and I think my picks are improving or maybe just dumb luck, but after looking and analyzing teams on their previous matches, their injury reports, suspensions, and the odds that is when I come up with my picks, and right now I have

Won with the Wizards
Lost with the Rockets
Won with Bucks
Won with Suns
Won with the Warriors

I can say I with only 1 losing bet I have slept real tight yesterday and moving forward I will continue with sharing picks that I think may win, here goes,

Charlotte Hornets VS New York Nicks

Boston Celtics VS Milwaukee Bucks

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Detroit Piston

New Orleans Pelicans VS Brooklyn Nets

Houston Rockets VS Portland Trailblazer

Memphis Grizzlies VS Phoenix Suns

Golden State Warriors VS Chicago Bulls

Quick picks and will be leaving it here, sorry no analysis, because I am pretty lazy right now.

I actually like the cavs over Detroit in that one.  Cavs are playing real competitive and Detroit has some young guys still getting their feet wet.  Also as much as I like golden state , they are playing a red hot bulls team.  I'd rather just watch that instead of bet it.  And I like the Nets to, New Orleans is spiraling.  Good luck with your bets tomorrow.

[Dave1]

Nice picks everyone has unfortunately though I made a mistakes that I can't bet on today's match.

Just 3 games for tonight if I'm not mistaken, so I will pass on this one.

I will just enjoy the game and have some fun. I will be back tomorrow and deposit sats again and bet. So with that said, goodluck to everyone hope you win. 

[danherbias07]

Pacers won. Congratulations to the winners.
The royal rumble sealed the deal and with so many players on the Jazz side, they cannot find their offense anymore. Jordan Clarkson is also off-night with his shots not sinking in. +9 may have been too much but that is a sure win for you guys. Cheers!
Thankfully, Terance Mann missed the last dunk that could've made me lose my +3.5. Lucky!

[Yaunfitda]

^^ I have them -2.5 though, it's the opposite beat but the result is the same.

It was a tight battle, Clippers took a good lead but the Miami Heat is not going away without a fight. 4 clutch FT though by Reggie Jackson seal the win for the Clippers. I thought though that there was a foul in the last play, but lucky for you the referee didn't make a call. So congrats as well.

That was a nice game, I didn't expect that the Clippers will easily bounce back after they were trailing by 15 points in the first quarter. If anyone takes the live betting after the first half and took the Clippers ML, I'm sure the odds would be more than double so it could give a huge win.

That was a nice game even without Butler, Heat were able to give their best to compete with the Clippers on the road.

Congrats to the winners, I saw some of you on the Clippers -2.5 (early line) and maybe some took +4 heat when the line moved.

Congratulations, I'm finally able to break my losing streak.

Indiana Pacers had an intention from the get-go, and they stuck to it. They didn't give Utah Jazz the chance to get back ahead, I wish I had put some money on the ML.

[Russlenat]

Looks like the bookies were wrong on making the odds between the Jazz and Pacers, they give too much handicap that even bettors do not have to worry about their bet since the Pacers beat the Jazz straight up. I don't know what could be the problem of the Jazz, looks like Clarkson and  Conley's numbers decline a lot this season.

We can see the numbers of the two and the stats don't lie.

Coach has to evaluate as Mitchell could not win alone, I like to see the Jazz good ball rotation that everyone is contributing as that makes them more unpredictable.

You are right, Jazz need to share the ball, Mitchel alone can't win the ball game, Clarkson, Conley and Ingles need to participate.

Unlike last season, where the rotation with all the players is really great, I understand that the center of their offense should be Mitchel but distributing

the ball is also what coach needs to focus. They can all make their own shots, but if they will rotate it and find the open man, the chance of making

high percentage shots are more possible.

I got a good win with the Pacers + and ML, so I'm happy to continue my little win streak. 

Game : Boston vs Bucks.

After a big win against the Raptors, I now believe that they will win because they have the momentum.

Bucks are still inconsistent IMO, so probably are winning 2 straight games, we might see them struggle again.

My pick : Boston ML. Good luck!

[Vaculin]

Good luck on your pick @stadus... but it's not only the Bucks who have inconsistency, even the Celtics are also experiencing some big losses due to their inconsistency. I believe Giannis own the Celtics, so I think it's good to put some player props too for Giannis as he could get a double double here.

[stadus]

Good luck on your pick @stadus... but it's not only the Bucks who have inconsistency, even the Celtics are also experiencing some big losses due to their inconsistency.

Yes, I know that, but my basis is their performance last game and I really think that the Celtics has an edge in this game since Bucks will still missed 2 of their main starters, that's a big handicap already against a competitive team and Celtics would capitalize on that.

And this is the 4th straight road game of the Bucks, maybe they'll get a little tired also.

I believe Giannis own the Celtics, so I think it's good to put some player props too for Giannis as he could get a double double here.

This one is a good bet, I agree with this.

And it will be on Boston homecourt, so this could reignite the team to win again.

Both team are not healthy and injuries to key players, but it's more on the Bucks, and Giannis too are pretty much bang up as he has to carry the load for the team.

So far though both teams odds in ML is 1.91, so that's attractive enough.

[Japinat]

I'm also with the Boston to win here.

The last game of the Boston Celtics are very impressive, they win by 16 points against the Raptors and that is without Jaylen Brown.
Actually, I like the Celtics in that game as they distributed the ball very well and without Jaylen Brown, they seemed to be doing fine.

I like to give a recap of the boxscore in the last from the Celtics roster, and their top performers are.

Tatum -    22 points
Schroder - 20 points
Williams III - 16 points
Richardson - 15 points
Smart -13 points.

https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/boxscore/250718

As we can see, that figure showed they share the ball very well and I hope they'll do the same here so they'll have another big victory.

[YuginKadoya]

I actually like the cavs over Detroit in that one.  Cavs are playing real competitive and Detroit has some young guys still getting their feet wet.  Also as much as I like golden state , they are playing a red hot bulls team.  I'd rather just watch that instead of bet it.  And I like the Nets to, New Orleans is spiraling.  Good luck with your bets tomorrow.

Yup! you are right and maybe without Kevin Love and Collin Sexton they can still handle the Detroit Piston without a problem, and stake.com's odds is 1.50 for Cleveland Cavaliers, and 2.70 for the Detroit Pistons, they sure favor the Cavaliers over Piston because of their standings, and Detroit Piston doesn't have Chris Smith, Isaiah Livers, and Kelly Olynyk, and I may be wrong with my pick, but still, a good choice on the odds if Piston win,

And with the Golden State Warriors, they pretty much have a good record, a great record than the Chicago Bulls, but the Bulls is really heating up right now but their Center Nikola Vucevic was positive with covid-19 right now but their main players are still there, and with the Golden State Warriors, Klay Thompson, Damion Lee, and Draymond Green can not play so there may be a struggle for the Warriors, but the odds on stake.com is 1.45 for the Warriors, and 2.85 for the Bulls.

Yeah, You have a valid point, the Celtics are not a reliable team as well, the only good thing is that over the few games Tatum seemed to have found his rhythm back, and tonight's game might depend on good Tatum is. Bucks as well aren't the same team without Middleton, no doubt, but their win over the Knicks shows that they can find a way around it even in difficult situations.

I don't have a clear opinion on the fixture, but @stadus is usually unbiased with his picks, so I'll be going with him on the Celtics ML

[hello_good_sir]

Thankfully, Terance Mann missed the last dunk that could've made me lose my +3.5. Lucky!

Lol, I was on the other side.

Terrance Mann is one of my favorite up and coming players but what he did was plain dirty... Screwed a bunch of Clipper bettors over, lol.

Anyway I do think that Clippers are looking very good. I think that they are an underrated pick to make the WCF because there is still a possibility that they will get Kawhi back (and they have went to the WCF last year without Kawhi).
