NBA 2024-2025 betting

[Questat]

For games tomorrow, I like to watch the Nets vs Lakers but I am not sure on who are gonna play, it's looking like a preseason game to me.

Looking at the list, almost everyone is not available to play.

However, I still think that the Lakers will win as they are hungry to win, Lakers are in 4 losing streak, about to break that losing streak.

Follow your own analysis, no one knows the exact outcome anyway, so may the best prediction wins. I check the list of players that are out in the game, I don't see Lebron is out for the Lakers, while Durant is out for the Nets but they have Harden back in this game. GL mate, I'm thinking of riding on the same pick as Lakers needs to start winning again.

[YuginKadoya]

Philadelphia 76ers VS Atlanta Hawks - Score 96 - 98 - LOST

Dallas Mavericks VS Milwaukee Bucks - Score 95 - 102 - WIN

Phoenix Suns VS Oklahoma City Thunder - Score 113 - 101 - WIN

Golden State Warrior VS Memphis Grizzlies - Score 113 - 104 - WIN

Despite Losing on the Philadelphia 76ers, I still got 3 wins, but that 76ers VS Hawks match was really close, I never thought that the 76ers could not make a comeback despite having Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris, and Seth Curry there is no time for them to turn the tables but that was one heck of a match, but still not mad about it, I should have bet on the players just like danherbias07 did, instead of the teams but anyway I have 3 wins overall,

Watching the game between Philadelphia and Atlanta currently Atlanta in the first half has a really big lead over Phila. Phila just cannot hit anything currently from the field while Atlanta is hitting most of the shots. Phila needs to step up hard to win this game honestly.

Well, I think they are not very hungry to win that much and the team is still very dependent on their main rosters, while the Hawks are doing a great job by rotating the scores throughout the team and doing great teamwork in my opinion.

Right, Durant is out and with a lot of Nets players as well including Durant.

James is probable, so it's really hard to bet right now unless we see how the game evolved.

Both the ML and handicap is close, meaning the betting public is still unsure, but I will go with the Lakers +1.5 here. Yes, they are in desperate to get a win.

Good luck buddy, having you on the same side makes me comfortable with my bet. It's going to be Lebron James vs James Harden, it's still fun to watch, and based on the past result, when these two faces each other, Lebron James are likely to win, so with that said, our chance to win is better now although Lakers is an underdog.

[Dave1]

Ok here's the result of my betting last night.



Never really doubted that both of them will win and cover that odds.

But it was a tough games for GSW and Suns. Thunder really make it very difficult for the Phoenix as they took a lead in the 1st-2nd half until the Suns got to the groove in the 3rd. But OKC made it close to really cover my spread.

While GSW was trailing most of the way and it took another high level defense to not let Memphis score in the 4th quarter.

That's enough statement for me to be convinced that you are really doing well, without Knowledge, you won't be able to analyze everything in just a short span of time, congrats to you mate, whatever struggle you have in the past (if you have), it's paying well right now because you are winning games.

My journey here still continues though I don't reach my target consistency yet but I'm more than inspired from people who loves to share their winning picks because it takes an effort and not being selfish to do it.

I did struggle before and sometimes there's a bad week of losing spree even though you analyzed the game for every possibility. Good luck to you bro and I hope to see your picks shared too here in our thread with other members. There are a number of times we do have same picks and it's a good sign that we will win it. 

Had a good rest, my betting budget is ready for the Christmas special of NBA later. 1:00 AM GMT+8 will be the first game Knicks vs Hawks so early picks are a must for those who will sleep early at my same timeline. I am excited for the Suns vs Warriors game though. I will input my bet later.

Phoenix Suns VS Oklahoma City Thunder - Score 113 - 101 - WIN

Golden State Warrior VS Memphis Grizzlies - Score 113 - 104 - WIN

I do parlay on this exact pick and 76ers kills my big time odds possible win for Christmas. Sometimes this overrated team is the one who always breaky parlay. I didn't imagine that embiid defense is completely destroyed by reddish multiple times and Collins has more field goal made than Seth curry for that particular match.

True, sometimes it's really hard to parlay because the matches that you think it will be a win, the opposite will happen and it's really disheartening to see our bets lost. Lol, but it is what it is so we go beat again on the next game and hopefully our parlays with good odds are going to win.

We have a lot of good games tomorrow, specially Suns vs Warriors and Lakers vs Nets. I'm leaning Suns to win again the Warriors, I think they will put a good defense on Steph again. For the Lakers vs Nets, slim win by Lakers maybe -1.5 as Durant might not play and it will be only Harden to carry for them.

Knicks vs Hawks - the game is too early for my timezone, but I'm a Knicks fan to I will go with them here -6.5. Trae Young has been reported to not going to play here, so Knicks will have to take advantage of it. Utah Jazz vs Mavericks, - Utah Jazz still, -11.5, they can cover this as Luka will not play and probably KP as well.

That's a lot of points for the Knicks, but without Trae Young, that's gonna be a good bet. Me, I'm not touching this game, I'm looking for an underdog to upset the favorite team and I'll just probably do it live as I am not good in guessing game on who's gonna play or not.

Utah Jazz vs Mavericks, - Utah Jazz still, -11.5, they can cover this as Luka will not play and probably KP as well.

Utah Jazz will get this, they are good in covering high spread and Dallas without Luka is not a problem.

I'll probably take each game as it comes, I really New York Knicks here against a really depleted Atlanta Hawks, Capela is also out of the game.

I'm in on the Knicks -5.5

Merry Christmas Everyone!  

Today's schedule includes five excellent games and more than 12 hours of nonstop basketball, i mean what more could we ask for?

Harden is back for BKN, but Durant and Kyrie remain out. It would have been nice to have both the Lakers and the Nets at full strength with no stars out missing the Christmas game, but it is what it is.... Giannis and DiVincenzo back for MIL. The Knicks will play on their city edition court which is designed by Kith, looks great imo.



Let's kick off the day with a prop on the Knicks and Hawks game:

Collins 20+ pts/reb | J. Randle 25+ pts/reb | K. Walker 25+ PRA @1.73 ✓

I'm rolling with Randle/Walker combo again, Kemba has been unconscious ever since he was inserted back into the starting lineup and Randle has covered the 25 pts/reb in five straight games now. With Trae still out for Atlanta, i can't think of anyone else besides Collins, who has covered his line in six straight.

I'll probably take each game as it comes, I really New York Knicks here against a really depleted Atlanta Hawks, Capela is also out of the game.

Capela is back and will play, not sure that changes things that much for them, i also think Knicks will cover even though they are 5-12 ATS at home.

I didn't imagine that embiid defense is completely destroyed by reddish multiple times and Collins has more field goal made than Seth curry for that particular match.  

Well, we can really never know the result of the match until it ended, and yeah Joel Embiid does get 23 pts from that but his defense was completely obliterated, and Seth Curry might don't have the luck he needs to make those field goals, but I am not really disappointed because I think the Philadelphia 76er's was done their all, except they really aren't so lucky that night, despite the hawks really is a disadvantage that time, but still congrats to all that bet for the Atlanta Hawks.

True, sometimes it's really hard to parlay because the matches that you think it will be a win, the opposite will happen and it's really disheartening to see our bets lost. Lol, but it is what it is so we go beat again on the next game and hopefully our parlays with good odds are going to win.

For the Lakers vs Nets, slim win by Lakers maybe -1.5 as Durant might not play and it will be only Harden to carry for them.

I agree! there is a small chance that every bet you take will be a complete win in my case that just happens not quite often, but that is just how it goes, it will not all fall down because you got good analyzing skills, there is still an 80% luck involved.

Well I like the Phoenix Suns VS Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers VS Brooklyn Nets game right now but I am still checking on the 1st quarter of each match before betting on said matches, and right now New York Knicks is Crushing the Atlanta Hawks on the 1st quarter by 30 - 18 score, as I am posting this.

It's now over, the Knicks won already 101-87, so it's a double digit lead so congrats to those who bet on the Knicks as they have covered the spread on this one with plenty to spare.

I'm more interested on the Celtics vs Bucks, very intriguing match, Giannis is still not on the Bucks lineup, but Boston is playing s**t as well. So still 50/50 in my opinion.

It was a great game New York Knicks just pulverized the Atlanta Hawk in the 1st quarter, but I think the Hawk would catch up a little to the score, the end has secured a win on the New York Knicks side, all quarters New York Knicks is performing well and really dominated the entire match,

And right now the match between Milwaukee Bucks VS Boston Celtics is pretty much near the end, right now the Boston Celtics are pretty much doing a great job, and right now that Giannis Antetokounmpo did return and is having a hard time with his recent injuries, but right now the match is on the 3rd quarter as I am posting this the score was at, 88 - 89 Milwaukee Bucks is struggling to make a lead.

[Harkorede]

Capela is back and will play, not sure that changes things that much for them, i also think Knicks will cover even though they are 5-12 ATS at home.

Yeah, he did play but to my surprise it didn't change anything. I'm glad you won your bet too.

Would it be too ambitious to take Lakers -2.5 vs Brooklyn Nets tonight ? The Lakers inconsistency is what I'm really skeptical about.

Both teams are getting players back after clearing covid protocols, Lakers will have Monk and Bradley which i guess helps a little bit with their perimeter defense woes (Spurs scored just the other day 138pts on almost 50% from deep). Idk, i don't trust the Lakers hence i'm not taking them to cover the spread, just not a good spot imo, though Lebron's record playing on Christmas is 10-5.

I'll probably end with a prop on Bron's totals or something, he's on his way to top the all-time Christmas Day scoring list passing Kobe, he needs just over a dozen points to do it...i could see him go for 25/7/7 (which is what he averages on Christmas over the last 15 seasons).

[ralle14]

What a comeback from the Bucks in the 4th quarter though.

Took the under 223.5@1.93 on Lakers vs Nets, even though the Lakers scored a lot against the Spurs I don't think the Nets will be able to keep up since they're missing a lot of players. If the Nets struggled against the Magic in their last game then we might see a 110-90 scoreline unless both teams suddenly go on a heater and hit 55% of their shots.

[Dave1]

Another good parlay win:



Bucks vs Celtics is really a cliff hanger, and I can't really cheer for anyone because of my bet, Lol.

When Celtics are ahead by huge margin, I was with them, but when the Bucks are making a run, I cheer for them that they will win with less than 7 points.
