NBA 2023-2024 betting

^Warriors -4.5 for me Dave. No injuries were reported and I hope they are all clear before the game starts.
211.5 seems a bit low but if this becomes a defensive game then it might not really go over it. But, when GSW heats up it's an easy task to achieve so I am going for Over 211.5 with just 1.74 profits.

My other bet is for the Bucks -3.5. Khris Middleton is listed as "probable" to play against the Pelicans but I think the other players can still handle them.
Good luck brothers.

Finally Knicks managed to beat someone after so many days and nerves. Anyway, the hype around Knicks this year only last for 2 months and I do hope that they will find that the old pace back and get those points. For now , play-offs are hard to catch for them even if 76ers are having a very tough season so far.

It was reported that Giannis is not going to play in this game?

In any case though, the Bucks is still capable of winning without it, the line open at -2.5 but -3.5 bet is also good if Middleton can carry the Bucks with Holiday.

How about the Magic and the Heat?  Can Heat cover the -5.5 line?

Cavs vs Bulls, no DeRozan (their top scorer) and Ball, I think it will be very difficult for the Bulls to win on the road against a very tough Cavs team.

And I would say I would favour Cavs this time -2.5 to win the game. It might be close in the beginning, but once Cavs find their rhythm, I'm expecting them to lead by double digits and then Bulls somewhat trim it down in the 4th. But in the end, Cavs defense and outside shooting might give them the edge.

I think Lonzo Ball will play, but not DeRozan. But I do agree, I will go with the Cavs here at -3.5, very attractive odds @1.96.

Total points could also be 210.5 and I'm also expecting Garland to at least make 2+ three points in this game.

Cavs are a good 3 point shooting team specially at home, so him and Love could at least make 2 or more three's in this game. And it will be a battle between Vucevic and Mobley in the middle.

I put some money down on the Bulls last time they played the Cavs and if memory serves me they were short either a player or two.  I saw that the Bulls were like +3.5 or something like that and jumped all over it not thinking things through.  I shortly ended up regretting that decision as they Bull were down pretty early on and ended up losing the game by quite a few points if memory serves me.  Really hard to bet on the Bulls right now until they get everyone back and healthy.

Very enticing, but most of the time a trap may take place.

I like also the bucks to cover that handicap. Pelicans is not performing well though they won against OKC but against stronger team like
Bucks, that's very questionable.

Even without Giannis, if Middleton and Holiday will be there, Portis can complete the trio.

Good luck!

They almost lost this game, I wonder what happen to Rose, only played 12 mins and no score.

The hype was over. The team is no longer jiving together. They are losing the scene, after acquiring Kemba and Fournier, they made
a good start, but didn't last long.

Regrouping and trying to find the right person inside the court is very important for them to start winning more games.

lots of adjustment but still doable, the season still far the team can still work things out together.

^^ I have the Nets all the way:



And then with a parlay with Pacers:



Kevin Durant is animated an clutch in this game and so is Blake hitting that dagger 3 to close out the Sixers. Blake also had a hard time as he assigned to guard Joel Embid in the game.

Warriors vs Celtics - I'm going with the Warriors -3.5.

It was an entertaining game, it would have been a real shame for the Nets after leading by almost 20 points to eventually lose the match.

I'm in on the Warriors -3.5 as well, there is no stopping this team imo.

I'm also taking Atlanta Hawks -3.5 vs Nuggets and Laker ML vs Timberwolves..

Good luck 😉

[Botnake]

I'm on the Celtics, I just felt they would again win a home game. No Poole for the Warriors, so definitely it's a minus for the Warriors. Celtics have a 7-4 home record and they beat the Bucks last time, so I think I'm gonna trust them this time again. Good luck to all of us.

Good luck, I think it's not a good idea to bet against the hottest team right now.

Warriors have won a lot of road games and Celtics would not be an exemption, even without Poole, Warriors still have the tools to beat the Celtics as not only Poole can help Curry, there are many shooters from the roster and their defense is way better than the Boston Celtics.

Loss my 76ers bet. 

My pick tonight.

I got the Wolves winning against the LA Lakers. line open -2.5 for the home team, now only PK.

I'll take the ML anyway, I believe they'll beat the LA Lakers here.

No Westbrook and Avery Bradley.

[Ziskinberg]

I hope the Lakers will struggle without Westbrook, but in some cases, they have a better ball movement without him as sometimes Westbrook is the main reason why the team would lose. The pick is good but I'm not riding it, instead, I'll look for a more exciting game like the Warriors vs Boston and I'll choose the Warriors to win.

[wheelz1200]

Tonight's got a bunch of intriguing games on the board I like a bunch of them but 2 games are sticking out to me that I probably will go in on:

Jazz at home -11.5 against the Spurs.  Jazz are absolutely dominant at home and the Jazz are a matchup nightmare for Spurs.  Expect Rudy to dominate the inside both offensively and defensively.  Only way Spurs keep it tight if they are fire from 3 land

Then I like Portland over char in Portland -2.  Port is awesome at home and char is without lamely to run the point.  Should be an easy port win here.

Good luck everyone!

As of less than one hour before the game, Westbrook appears to have cleared the covid protocols and will play (or at least he is available). Isaiah Thomas is also available for the Lakers. 👀

Antony Edwards is a late scratch for the home team, guess that pushed the line further to Wolves +1, for those interested in that game.

Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has entered into the league’s Covid protocols, sources tell ESPN.

My play here is a prop bet on D'Angelo Russell totals: D. Russell 15+ points / 6+ assists / 3+ rebs @1.86 ✓

I often bet on players facing their former teams or teams who drafted them because it adds motivation to perform well. With ANT out, it's all on KAT and Russell in terms of minutes, touches, shots, etc.

Unfortunately, the report is only Giannis not playing, but Portis and Middleton didn't play as well. So they are really in handicap but they were able to push the ball and force the OT.

But they've lost, it was only Holiday who carry the team with 40 big points, and Allen with 25 point.

The rest didn't provide, specially Pat Connaughton who played 41 minutes but just scored 9 points.

Demarcus Cousins played 19 minutes and scored 9 points also.

Just by a margin mate, 111-107, I got it at 1.88, -3.5. Was very close game at the end, Warriors leading almost the full game but they can't separate themselves, Marcus Smart hitting 3's in the last 10 seconds to make it 107-109 but Lee sank 2 FT's.

My other bet is for the Bucks -3.5. Khris Middleton is listed as "probable" to play against the Pelicans but I think the other players can still handle them.
Good luck brothers.

We have the same beat, but the Bucks lost, No Giannis, no Middleton, no Bobby Portis, ouch!. But they gave everything and force a OT and I thought that they have a chance to win and hope to cover the spread. But it took a toll on them without their top players.

[Jating]

Warriors vs Toronto game, Draymond and Steph might rest in this game as reported already, so this is a good chance for the Raptors to have a win against the top team right now.

Early game between the Rockets and the Pistons, but I would say that Pistons might be an edge here.

I'm going with Detroit -1.5 @1.91. I love the Rockets team, but the home team will win here.

[Oasisman]

I don't think they'll let them rest both Curry and Green since Jordan Poole is going to be sidelined due to covid health and safety protocol.
However, Raptors will have a good chance to win in this game, since they were also able to cover the spread from their last couple of games and they also have a good game.
Looking at the spread and odds, it really looks like the GSW is not going to play with the complete roster.

I try to look at the sources of this news:

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32892969/stephen-curry-draymond-green-several-golden-state-warriors-set-rest-toronto-raptors

The Golden State Warriors are resting Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and several other players in advance of Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after Friday's 111-107 win over the Boston Celtics that he would discuss the possibility with GM Bob Myers of resting some veterans as the Warriors enter into the second night of a back-to-back at the end of a five game East Coast swing.

So this could be true already, I think they are more willing to have Curry and the rest take a break as to not force their body and maybe who knows, injuries might happen to anyone of them. So right decision for Kerr to have them sit out against Toronto.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

^^ Ok so it make sense now that the Raptors are the favorite at 1.28 ML.

Probably it's better to skip this game for tomorrow, the Bucks and Cleveland might be a good game to watch as the odds are very close to each other. Maybe Giannis will still not play here and they are in the back to back games while Cavs take a rest and on a winning streak. But it will be on the homecourt of the Bucks, so take that into consideration when betting on this game.

Brooklyn Nets VS Philadelphia 76ers

Well, felt sad because of that health protocol impose on the Brooklyn Nets team I surely like the Nets but with the huge team disadvantage and the team is facing players into quarantine Kevin Durant is surely not enough to face the Philadelphia 76ers now that Seth Curry, Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid in their good condition, and giving Stephen Curry a hard time because of Matisse Thybulle defense, this could be a hard time for the Nets stake odd right now 1.93 for the Nets and 1.92 for the 76ers, this is a close odds we can get but I am going with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Unfortunately I couldn't keep up with this game and I didn't bet either (I was going to bet on the Nets, but it didn't work lol)

Anyway, the Nets had a monstrous advantage in the 3 point shot, almost 50%!!
Practically Durant is carrying the Nets on his back as he is playing really well!
