NBA 2023-2024 betting

[YuginKadoya]

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.

I really think that both teams have done their best but I may give credit to the Utah Jazz because the Cleveland Cavaliers is playing at home but for me, both teams are at their 100% it just lucks that the Utah Jazz have won this one, and just like you I think that the Cavaliers could win this aswell but yes luck has really done its way for Utah to win, And if this is the Final games this could be a good game and it might be an exchange match-up,

My Quick Pick for the matches, and the odds from stake.com.

Detroit Piston 1.48 VS Oklahoma City Thunders 2.75

Indiana Pacers 1.44 VS Washington Wizards 2.90

Charlotte Hornets 3.25 VS Philadelphia 76ers 1.37

Miami Heat 1.52 VS Memphis Grizzlies 2.60

Chicago Bulls 1.54 VS Denver Nuggets 2.55

Minnesota Timberwolves 1.80 VS Atlanta Hawks 2.07

Milwaukee Bucks 1.32 VS Cleveland Cavaliers 3.55

Phoenix Suns 1.30 VS San Antonio Spurs 3.70

Portland Trailblazer 2.32 VS Los Angeles Clippers 1.64

Golden State Warriors 1.07 VS Orlando Magic 9.20

[Kasabus]

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.

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.

Yea you're right, they're more than tired as we can see it in their recent match against Spurs. They've been buried early in the 1st quarter but they make up on 2nd, Steph Curry only scored 27 points, a bit lower than his average. The Spurs is a bit lucky to end the game in their favor, 5 points higher than the GSW resulting in their 4th win streak if I'm not mistaken.
But I know GSW will redeem their name next game, GSW vs Hornets or Magic.

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.

Agree, Gobert needs to extend his minutes because of that 2 towers,

A single point lead to win and almost a snatch didn't expect that performance from the Cavs squad.

They play well and they try to match each attempt of Jazz to breakout, it's really a fan team to watch
as they are trying to do everything in their capabilities, trying to win the game.

My pick.

Game : TrailBlazers vs Clippers.

No Lillard for TrailBlazers so I'm expecting the same story on their last two games where they are heavily dominated by their opponents.

-Loss 31 points against the Spurs
-Loss 28 points against the Celtics.

So, not really expecting that they'll bounce back, instead, I expect the Clippers to bounce back after a loss against the Kings.

I have the Clippers -2.5 @1.93 against the TrailBlazers. Yeah, I think the Clippers will have to bounce back after their huge loss against the Kings. They've just beaten the Lakers in a tough match and then loss the next game.

And without Portland's top scorer, it will be hard for them to really phase as far as their offensive weapons is concern. CJ can't do it alone and they lack the support system right now.

I guess I have to follow you guys, I also don't feel that the Clippers are a good team than the Blazers. I remember, they beat the Blazers before this season and Lillard was even playing, so in this game where Lillard is out, I guess they'll still win, besides, they Clippers has a 2-1 record against the Blazers.

Last 3 games.

My pick.
Game : TrailBlazers vs Clippers.

What's your spread bro?

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?

I like the Clippers -3.5 too because just like stadus said Lillard will not be playing so it will just be same losing event for the Trail Blazers. Almost the same as the analysis I read outside @-2.5. I'll take that.
The Miami Heat versus the Grizzlies though is not easy to analyze with their stars sitting down. Butler, Bam, and Morris for the Heat then Ja Morant for the Grizzlies. Miami's last win was against the Pacers and it's not a weak team so yes, I will also tail the -4.5.

Clippers -3.5 Heat -4.5 is my pick. Thanks and good luck.
About GSW, better take a bet while they are down in the first half if ever that will happen.

Good odd for you, handicap -2.5 is very possible for Clippers to cover up.

Both teams lost their last games, but I consider Clippers have that great chance in winning this upcoming meetup.

Unless CJ will fire up and start creating those numbers. He also has that capability when he starts to heat up,

Though PG and his defensive capabilities may slow CJ, if he will take him and box him up.

I agree if Lillard isn't playing tonight I like the Clippers here.  I also like the magic at +16 against golden state.  Those large spreads are hard to cover as the end of the game Orlando should snipe some garbage minute points if they were down. 20 or so.  Taking the bulls -3.5 against the Nuggets too.

[gagux123]

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.

Yes, this is something that can happen... Jalen Green is young (19 years old), athletic and has a bright future ahead of him...hopefully he can stand out when he recovers from his injury.

This is something that can happen, if the Rockets are doing well without Green, there is probably no reason for him to have more minutes on the court.

[agustina2]

Cavaliers, Rockets, Timberwolves, they are mostly underdogs but it's just a status as when they performed, these teams are unexpected. I'm now thinking to put up some bucks on these teams from now on as even they are upsetting a much better team, sportsbook always gave them a high odds to win.

Putting money on OKC Moneyline is worth too. They are given an odds of 2.75 to win against the Pistons. I consider Pistons is not that dominant to take down OKC without any problem. The chances of OKC to win on that game as I see is 55/45.

I'll support you on that as I have been doing that already..Timberwolves is not really a bad team for me, but these Rockets and Cavaliers really surprise me, if they cannot win, at least they'll cover the handicap.

Both are bad teams, so it's always up to you to choose what team you think will win, that 2.75 is a decent odds too since the Pistons are not consistent.

How about the Spurs? They are +7.5 now against the Suns? not sure if Booker will already play, but if he is not, then I guess Spurs ML would be a good risk too.

I'm tailing this as well, the line is currently at -3.5 @ 1.97 for the Clippers, let's see if they can really bounce back.

I've got other bets as well:

Orlando Magic +15.5 vs Warriors

Miami Heat -4.5 vs Memphis Grizzlies

GL Everyone!

[harizen]

How about the Spurs? They are +7.5 now against the Suns? not sure if Booker will already play, but if he is not, then I guess Spurs ML would be a good risk too.

Devin Booker will not play in that game. That's an advantage for the Spurs although let's take note that even without Booker, the team is currently in the Top 3 in terms of 3 point shooting percentage. Most wins of the Suns this season are contributed to their good 3 point percentage in every game.

However, the Spurs recently beat one of the big teams in the West that is having is the best shooting percentage in the league, the Golden State Warriors.

Spurs can possibly cover the +7.5 handicap if they try to keep up with the phase. But if the Suns are able to take a lead by over 10 points before the half, they are bound to win at 90% with the same or over with that lead referring to their past games.

[chaser15]

I agree if Lillard isn't playing tonight I like the Clippers here. 

Damian Lillard is already ruled out. The Blazers are currently short-handed. The best pick to bet here is a handicap. Clippers -3 is a good choice as that line can possibly cover with a high chance probability. It's also offered good odds compare to Moneyline.

I also like the magic at +16 against golden state.  Those large spreads are hard to cover as the end of the game Orlando should snipe some garbage minute points if they were down. 20 or so.  Taking the bulls -3.5 against the Nuggets too.

This is a risk for me. Even in garbage time, Magic will send their bench players instead as they don't have the goal now to make a run. Instead, I will wait for a live bet on that game and if Magic will take lead for about 10, I will now bet on Warriors winning by 10+ or around that bet if available.

You seem to like to bet on the risky ones, but Timberwolves in my opinion is a good pick over the Atlanta Hawks, and with the Detroit Piston VS Oklahoma City Thunders right now the Piston has the advantage with the odds, but for me, I will go on the risk with the Thunders, and regarding the Phoenix Suns VS San Antonio Spurs I like the Phoenix Suns but if you like a risky bet with a large amount to take, I think this is a huge gamble because even though there is no Devin Booker to play for the Phoenix Suns, the team is really good at the Three-point goal mark, or many players have a decent three, while the odds are open to a 1.30 for Suns and 3.70 for Spurs, it is a huge difference, many are rooting for the Suns, because of how good they play against the Golden State Warriors, If they really shut Stephen Curry that night or Curry is just unlucky that time, but still the Suns still is a decent team without Booker.

I have Miami Heat -4.5 but it seems that they can't buy a basket right now, Lol.

Memphis with a 14 point lead right now in the first quarter. I also did bet on two underdogs,

Hornets +5.5
OKC +4.5

As parlay, but the chances now are very slim as both are behind in the second quarter.

[ralle14]

Riding the Cavaliers +10.5 today, even though they're on a back-to-back and with Giannis good to go, I still think they could keep the winning margin below double digits since they're putting up a good performance recently and have been covering against strong teams. Also, they're putting up better results on the road compared at home, I just can't resist the points on the Cavaliers.

Good call on the Hornets and OKC mate, OKC won by more than 5.5 and then Hornet lost by 3 points.

Two interesting game, Detroit leading all the way up to the middle of the 3rd and then OKC come back strong in the 4th.

While the Hornets and 76ers was a back and forth fight, and headed into OT. But Hornets doesn't have enough gas to sustain it in the OT.

For sure that parlay could netted you good odds.

[Baofeng]

It was a very fruitful NBA games for me tonight: 



I could have added Golden State even for ML and my odds for sure are going to increase. But I will take this win though, the OKC and Spurs game are very close indeed. Both of them was down early, was able to recover to cover the spread for me. Spurs didn't give up against the Suns, again, they are also down but climb back and close the gap. Hope everyone won on the huge margin win by the Golden State.
