NBA 2024-2025 betting

[wheelz1200]

I will take the Suns all day, I trust them so much to cover a high spread especially against a team who are struggling this season. On the other hand, they might also not play hard because they have a game next day and that is a gainst the Warriors that they beat few days back.

Agree. I took the -11.5 for the Suns and I think covering that spread will be an easy task. The only unexpected thing that may happen will be in garbage time if the Suns' bench players make a mess.
I am looking for one more bet but I can't decide if I should take the Bulls -2.5 versus the Knicks or the Bucks -4.5 versus the Raptors. Or just take both if it's really difficult to choose. 
Bulls are healthy and had a long rest, Knicks are having trouble with their chemistry. Bucks are also hot with 8 winning streaks.

It's a pissed off knick team coming in though after getting burned by the refs in the Nets game.  That's a tough game to decide on.  Knowing they will be playing with fire tonight I'd take the under on the Knicks game, this one might be one of those 97-92 type games either way and it's in msg.  I'm steering clear of this game.

I guess the Knicks are going to bounce back after a loss to the Nets, they are only +2 at home, make that an ML bet because they'll likely win tonight. And sure, why not take the under, if they'll dictate the tempo of the game, it will likely go under.

And sure, why not take the under, if they'll dictate the tempo of the game, it will likely go under.

I'm going under as well, the line opened at 213 and now is only 210. that's the implication that people are going under in this game. Choosing a team to win is a bad idea as for me this could go either way since the Bulls are also capable of winning games on the road with a 7-4 record while Knicks are even struggling at home with 5-6.

Well good luck if you don't want to feel the thrill, I will still take the home team tonight, they may not have a good record but overall the Knicks are a decent team and they can surely give the Bulls a tough time liked they did to the Nets, but this time I see different results compared to their game against the Nets.

Yeah staying away from the game (outside of a friendly small bet with a bulls fan)

Game im on for tonight is Portland at home -5 against the Spurs.  Dametime is out again but even still the Blazers are still a ton better than the Spurs and they are real good on their home court.  Portland by double figures in this one.

Thanks for pointing out the Portland record at home, I did not realize that they have a 10-1 record until you shared some information. In that case I will take the Portland although sometimes their defense are crappy. BOL to us @wheelz1200.

Good luck.  And yeah this one hits 3 sweet spots for me...Portland at home.  The "Dame isn't playing" discount.  And Spurs, especially on the road.  This was an easy bet for me.  Now just hope it comes through lol.  Enjoy the games sir

I couldn't catch up with any of the pre-game bets, and all that's left is the Clippers vs Kings..

I'll be taking the Clippers -5.5 with the hope that they'd bonce back from their loss to Pelicans the last time.

I wouldn't take the Clippers -5.5.

They are without PG so it'll be a very tough ask for them to perform. It will be a close game so I don't think that the spread is worth it.

Kings are a good team, Buddy Hield and De'Aaron Fox are both due for a breakout.

Yeah, I didn't figure PG was going to get rested until it was too late, turns to be a shitshow for the Clippers.

What do you think of Suns vs Detroit tomorrow game?

I wanted to put a good amount of money on Suns, although they will be without Booker, but they are going to face a lowly but dangerous Detroit.

The line is open -12.5 Suns, you do guys think they can cover this one or this is a trap since Booker is out?

It's going to be a tough call though, but they just beat GSW without Booker so I guess they can do it against Detroit. And the game will be in their home court so they have all the advantage in this game.

So it's possible that they can cover that handicap against the Pistons and even more, in my opinion.

I don't know if it will be very wise to back the Suns -12.5 this night, I don't expect them to lose though but they might get really conservative tonight and give their starters some early rest, If they're able to get an early convenient lead, since they'll have to suit up again tomorrow against Warriors (a match that'd be expected to be more demanding of them).

[Dave1]

1/3 for me the last time, both of my picks lost and I got one tailing @danherbias07.

For this game, I'm going Knicks +2.5 against the Bulls, this game is going to be close and could go either way. But Knicks could be in a verge to win this one. Bucks vs Raptors, Bucks -2.5, Giannis is playing monster right now, although this is back to back to Toronto homecourt, the Raptors are struggling with key players in the injured list.

I liked the Bucks tonight too he is really getting into form, but I opted with the knick game under and the TrailBlazers-5.  I can see Bucks going on a good run I might start leaning into them a little more.  Layer off them with their cool start to the season.

Both the Knicks and the Bucks are down in their game, but hopefully they can come back and make the game close and cover that handicap. Giannis is not playing right now.

Dame is not going to play, so not sure if -5 will be a good bet, in my opinion. Might be better for me for in game betting again for the Portland game.

Liking Blazers as well since they're able to take care of the Pistons and should get their 11th home win unless the Spurs go on a shooting spree.

Also i'm surprised at Memphis dropping 150 points and winning by 73 points against OKC. 

[Russlenat]

Yes, he is confirmed out due to injury.

However, the odds are still high,  as you can see in https://www.oddsshark.com/nba/odds, Portland are still favored at -5.
I am checking the live betting odds now, 2-6 1st q in favor of Spurs but portland is still 1.70 ML.

[Harkorede]

Crazy game, I thought live scores had a problem when I was checking the score line, OKC were blown out of the universe, losing each quarter by at least 15 points, we'll probably not see such a margin win all through the remainder of the season.

Phoenix as expected are still holding it down with an 18 points lead midway through the 3rd against Pistons.

[danherbias07]

That bet for the Suns did hurt my feelings a bit. Yes, because I lost for a bit.  1 more point.
Pistons keep on fighting back and even got close to a 5 point lead before the Suns made a big run again. I hope they did that run earlier and maybe it could become a garbage time at 2-3 minutes left in the game. Well, these things happen, unexpected events. Phoenix Suns will be keeping their streak and that's the 18th.
How about the Trail Blazers being hit hard by the Spurs. 108-78 current score. No Lillard, no Simmons. It's a streal for those who bet for the Spurs. Congratulations.

That's the gamble if you give a big spread, but one 1 point only made you lose your bet hurt, I've been there but that's gambling, we either win or lose, in your case you lose so bounce back soon.

Didn't expect this too.

If anyone were able to bet at Spurs to win 26+, that's a huge 100 odds.

Spurs take this one from the Blazer, without Dame they an unable to win and cover the handicap.

The very balance game play of spurs gives them the win. Just notice that the rookie Simons didn't play that much, only 11 minutes without
making any point for him.

Oh well lots of unexpected results today, regular season is always have full of surprises.

Better luck next time for those who losses their pick today, there's always a good chance to win back and recover

[Sanitough]

Time for the Phoenix Suns vs Warriors game.

Tomorrow they'll face and looks like the Booker is not available based on the current betting spread.

Warriors are -6.5 at home, they'll surely avenge their loss but is the spread too high for the Warriors to beat the team that is on a winning streak?

[Jating]

I guess the line is really a trap, the Suns win but it's just 11 points, maybe the garbage time really messed up the handicap for us.

Good game by the Bulls and the Knicks, Bulls well covered the spread.

Grizzlies and Thunder, I didn't watch the game but I have to double check the score, LOL, 152-79? Maybe that's a record for the biggest win?

Booker will miss a few games due to a hamstring injury, so he is not going to play in this game, therefore I will take the Warriors -6.5 at home. Curry will not struggle anymore, they are at their home, so their shooting percentage will surely increase, no doubt for my pick, I'm all for the Warriors to win and cover.

Good luck!
