NBA 2024-2025 betting

When i last posted here, the Wizards were leading the East, while the Bucks and Celtics were both under .500  I'm glad to see things starting to settle down a bit.

Bulls at Brooklyn, the number one seed vs. the number two seed in the East, should be a good one. Bulls won the first meeting between these two in Chicago, coming up clutch in the fourth quarter with 42 points. I'm leaning towards CHI covering their +3 spread, but i'm going with a handful of player props centered around Vucevic and DeRozan instead.

Vucevic 9+ rebs; LaVine 4+ rebs; DeRozan 25+ pra @1.82 X

Vucevic 14+ pts; L. Ball 4+ ast @1.70 X
 
LaVine 25+ pra; Vucevic 1+ 3pt; DeRozan 4+ rebs @1.80 ✓

edit; Vucevic with monster 2pts and 1 rebound second half lol

Golden State starts horrendously and had a bad shooting 1st quarter and it continued to the 2nd.

San Antonio Spurs leading 20 points, that's huge already so I don't know if the Warriors can overcome this lead and cover the spread as they are expected to win this game. So let's see how it goes, Curry needs to explode and score 40++ points in this game if they want to have a chance to at least win.

The bad week continues.  Suddenly Luka needs to sit and was announced before the game. This is the problem with early picks.
Well, I just need to bounce back again just like the past week where I did well.
Cleveland Cavaliers versus Utah Jazz - Jazz -5.5
The Cavaliers are at their 4th winning streak but I doubt Jazz will let it go to 5. It will be fun to watch Mobley against Gobert. Will Gobert change his playing style because Mobley shoots from the outside? I hope he does but in terms of firepower the Jazz have lots of options.

They probably are tired in that game since they played the other night, after winning against the Suns, they lose against the Spurs which is not really a strong team compared to the Suns. It's okay, sometimes you gotta accept some losses and bettors are lucky if they bet against the Warriors as the Spurs are a heavy underdog in that game.

Good to point it out.

with Jazz when they rotate the ball almost if not all inside the court can shoot either outside or can penetrate inside.

Jazz has a better chance beating the Cavs, with that handicap fans and those who understand how Jazz play will take this one the risk is always there but if given a chance with a single digit handicap, firepower team like Jazz is capable of winning with huge gaps.

As long as they can keep the score close against the Cavs, they can cover the spread as they usually a good 3rd quarter team similar with Suns and GSW.

But if they left the Cavs got the upper hand early with double digits lead, they might have a hard time catching up with a good team in protecting their lead. And maybe we can find surprises just like what we've seen in the Warriors vs Spurs game.

I think being tired is a bad excuse for them to lose against the Spurs, they just started very slow and sluggish but caught on fire on in the 3rd and then got the lead in the 4th. But after the lead, they shot bad again missing shots that they used to make. And specially in crucial minutes, those are bad. Steph had 27 points but Wiggins just had 11 and I think he is the missing piece in this game. He should at least score 15++ so that they have a better chance of winning this game.

I'd mostly agree with you, they probably thought they'd have the win somewhat easily and were caught of guard by how wide the Spurs lead was getting, but you really would have expected them to keep things going after they took the lead during the fourth quarter, but it's just one of those days where getting cocky leaves you with a red face.


We've got an early one today between Jazz and Cavaliers, I'm riding on the Utah Jazz -5.5 here

[stadus]

We have only 4 games tonight, I think I'm gonna pass as I don't see a game that I like to cap.

Good luck on your Jazz pick, that's a tough call for me although Jazz are the better team.
Looking at the record of the Cavaliers, they seemed to be playing good basketball lately as they won all their 4 road games by a huge margin.

Just like you, I am passing from making bets, I don't feel like betting right now and taking a break from the last game lost, but maybe on the next game I will do some picks when these 4 games settle,

As I post this, the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers VS Utah Jazz was really close they are in the Q4 right now and the score is 108 - 109 the game will finish a couple of mins, right now the Jazz could win this and may win with 1 point difference, I think it was a Close match next match, then the game ended with a Utah Jazz win, with only 1 point difference now the game between the Raptors VS the Wizards will start soon, in this game my pick will be the Washington Wizard.

Jazz won in the end but Cavaliers could have easily stolen the win if the tip-in was successful or the shot from Darius Garland had went in, It was a really close game from 1st to 3rd Quarter, Cavaliers gave the Jazz a run for their money and were never for once out of sight, but the Jazz took a 15 point lead early in the 4th and that should have been the pace setter for them, but the Cavaliers just wouldn't back down.

Just to enjoy watching 2 games, I bet on the the Hawks vs Hornets -1.5 at half-time, so far it was really very close.

I'm thinking that the Hawks are going to fight it out hard in their homecourt and will not let get a W.

And they are not coming alive in the fourth, taking a 1 point lead. But still a lot of time, 8 minutes left and Hornets are still a very dangerous team unless they continue to play hard nose defense and converted to point very quickly.

I'm into the Raptors -13.5, live betting also, just put the bet on halftime. And they are ahead by 16, with also 8 minutes left.

Unfortunately, the Hawks didn't sustained their lead, actually it went as high as 4 points. But suddenly they started to missed and their defense collapses allowing the Hornets easy basket including a dunk and a lay-up in the last 2 minutes. No heroics from Trae Young.

For the Raptors games, the lead changes from 12-17 points, but in the garbage time, the Wizards were able to cut it down to 12 points, tough luck again.

Anyway, it's just the Rockets vs the Pels games left, so I'm also skipping this one. Probably be back tomorrow with more interesting games.

Why not? Rockets and NOP are still very entertaining to watch and you know that they only have Ingram to score and they have been in the losing end.



Bet on Houston during the break, and sure they did maintain that lead throughout the game going as low as 8 points but that's end. They have every answer to Pelicans comeback run.

I would never have imagined that the Rockets could have the capaciy to win 6 games in a row. And they don't even have an Allstar player on the team.

Talking about Ingram, I was very surprised with his performance, it was incredible, I believe that these 40 points was the record of his career.

[danherbias07]

Cleveland Cavaliers did surprise me again with how they are good at both ends of the floor. I am observing how Cedi Osman can make an impact with the team and all I could say is he can drag them all into giving their best at the defensive end.
Jazz might have won this but Cavs proved a lot to never mess with them and they might even steal the win if Gobert put that ball in during the scramble below the rim. Utah Jazz was forced to maximize the minutes of Gobert because of the twin towers of Cavs. If they didn't, it's going to be the other way that claims the W.
Didn't cover the spread.

I'm afraid Jalen Green won't be having his usual minutes anymore once he comes back. I think the Rockets are doing better without him, so I don't know if they would still give Jalen a lot of minutes after seeing the team's performance without him.

True, so he won't be the rookie of the year, although I'm banking that he will be in at least top 3, however, they've settled without him and the chemistry is there because they have a winning streak of their own.

I think Ingram's career high is 49 points against the Jazz:-> https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/basketball/news/pelicans-brandon-ingram-scores-career-high-49-points/

Of course, Ingram is capable of scoring that, and the management believes in him that's why he has a huge contract.  last year, he signed an extension of $158M  for 5 years, look at that figure, that's one of the biggest contracts in the NBA, so he should be consistent, and that 49 points should not be surprising at all.

However, the team will still struggle if they don't have Zion, so this season, I don't think they'll even reach the playoffs.

I like these games, and I have a pick in every game.

1) Denver vs Chicago ********** Chicago -4.5
2) Clippers vs Portland ********* Clippers -3.5
3) Memphis vs Miami/ ********* Miami -4.5

Betting on the favorites to cover the spread. What do you say?  Also trying to be on the Warriors but I'm afraid they will not cover the -14.5 spread against the Orlando Magic.
