NBA 2024-2025 betting

[wheelz1200]

Only a couple games tonight but I like 2 home teams. 

Gimme the KNICKS getting 2 points at home.  Celts are decent but lost 5 in a row on the road and the second game of a back to back. 

Then...give me the Pelicans -1 against the Warriors.  Won't say that too often but GS has a ton of guys benched.  Pretty much Wiggins and Poole versus the Pelicans.  Gimme the home team here and an L for the Warriors.

Good luck everyone tonight all!

Good if you got the Pels at -1 mate, because GSW doesn't have answer to Brandon Ingram.

And when we thought that Jordan Poole will step up in the absence of Steph Curry, he just had a measly game. Wiggins lead the way with 21 points but it wasn't enough.

They've tied the game at the end of 3rd or start of the 4th if I'm not mistaken but the Pels scored 6 successive points and that cushion was enough.

wheelz1200 got his 2 bets right, both games are close but what matters is the bet won. Congrats @wheelz1200, that's a perfect prediction, looking forward for some tips on the upcoming games tomorrow. If you have a bulls vs Wizs analysis, I'ld love to read and follow.

Yeah was a nice 2 for 2 night.  I'm not touching that game although if I did I would take the Bulls but would take the money line on that.  Here are my 3 picks tonight that I like:

Philly -8.5 against the Spurs at home.  Embid should manhandled the game and go for 35 and 15.  This should be a blowout although I wish Maxey was playing.

For the second time this year...gimme the Lakers -2.5 at home against the Hawks.  John Collins is out and he is key to the Hawks.  West coast trips are tough for east coast.  Gimme the Lakers here.

And last I like Cleveland on the road -5.5 against Portland.  Portland is good at home but dametime is out tonight and the Cleveland 3 big are playing real strong.  They should control the paint and win easily here.

Good luck tonight everyone!

I'm also on that Cleveland pick, the form of both teams might look bad but Cleveland looked slightly better even though they lost against a red hot Grizzlies team it's still a close game in the end.

I decided to skip the Lakers but I also think they're likely to win it's just that the Hawks still have a bunch of questionable players.

I second this and there are the reasons:

- LBJ consistent dominant performance. Keeping his average 28PPG this season whether they win or loss
- Malik Monk is stepping up - (they have 25 points combined with LBJ in the 4th quarter alone on their last game)
- Dwight Howard returned into his big man's shape grabbing 14 boards last game. No one in the Hawks might stop him tonight
- No Trae Young is always a big disadvantage on the Hawks offense

Good win by the Raptors against the Utah, although the Jazz is empty as most of their players didn't play, but still a win is a win:



VanFleet another monster game and his first triple double of his career, 37-10-10.

He has been on a roll for the last couple of games for the Raptors so watch out for this team the next few games as they might pull a big upset if they are the underdogs.

Yes what a win by Raptors And I think that they can still prove that they can win and by the help of their star players. It's a big advantage to the team that their opponents is locks of players due to inconvenient. But they fight as a team even though they are not complete in terms of lineup by the team. And like you said a win is a win so nothing change Raptors take the victory to their match against Utah.

Right, there are even stats shown in the game that in the last 10 years or so, LBJ was really that consistent averaging 27-28PPG and that is really amazing because of his longevity in the game but remain very consistent.

In the game right now against the Hawks, Monk again is playing very good, as they are having a huge lead at 16 points and hopefully they can win above 10 points as that is my bet.

Even Trae Young play, not enough for the Hawks to win. Malik Monk, Talen Horton-Tucker, and Avery Bradley combined with 71 points. What a good support to Lebron James' 32 points. Westbrook is also 1 point shy away from his supposed triple-double.

Eveything is covered to the Lakers handicap and congrats to all bettors. I think even the Totals was covered if I'm not mistaken Over 230 @ 2.

[danherbias07]

I bet most of us won their picks. I did.  Correct me if I am wrong but I think it is only the Jazz who was upset by the Raptors.
Other games covered their spreads with a high amount of lead.

Back to the winning side after 2 days of losing streak. Just added that Blazers vs Cavs Over 207.5 at the 2nd half and I was lucky to hit it when Osman got wild in the 3 point line.  Cheers to all the winners. Did anyone take the Jazz bet?

Congratulations on your winnings!

I took the day off yesterday, had to go to bed early and missed every game.

My bets definitely would have been on Bucks, Cavs and Bulls.. The Nets really are not having anything go their way right, the Bulls and Cavs are still killing it and every bet worthy.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

Yeah, seems to be everyone has gotten back into winning ways from tonight's game as there was a good lead from the winning team so it's a safe bet if you have gotten the handicap.

I was able to just watch 2 games, the Lakers vs Hawks and the Raptors vs the Jazz, two contrasting games and a surprised result specially when I thought that the Jazz will win the game after leading double digits but then the Raptors seems to can't missed any shots and took a huge lead in the fourth.

Nice win for the Lakers, they are now winning games and I like to see that kind of consistency until Davis will come back from injury. They need to catch up as they are not in the top 3 anymore, they should be at least at the top 3 if they can't finish at the very top standing. I believe that the lakers can still learn how to play the right chemistry, and this win streak they are having now, I believe they are slowly figuring it out.

[Jating]

Did anyone take the Jazz bet?

Almost mate, and it's good that I didn't because majority of their players didn't play in that game. But they did take a good lead but then Toronto just took over at the end of the 4th quarter and that's it.

The Lakers game didn't disappoint their farms, you will see James swag at the end of the 4th when he had that monster dunk, Lol. You can tell that he is really back in this game, with highlight dunks and then shooting three's as well.

[Baofeng]

I like the chances of Bucks against the Nets, specially if Giannis will be back in action.

And them being an underdog will be a good point to proved again that they are the defending champs. So they will embrace the underdog roll and so the ML is already attractive at 2.6. So it's a risk I'm willing to take in this game.

That's a nice ML and with great team competing if the challenge being taken by the Bucks that bet will value enough.

And beside Nets is also unpredictable they can win with good team but also the possibilities shit or bad night for the stars are always accompany

by any team, there's no sure thing in this sport or any other sport, just a good blend and chemistry inside the court and the team will be good to go..

Good luck!

Thanks mate, I probably got lucky and listen to my instinct that Giannis will play very big in this game and will not allow Durant to take over the game from him.

So it was a sweet win, and so it is still a good choice to back the Bucks against the Hornets tomorrow night. I know it's going to be another close game as Hornets is almost complete but again I think Giannis will not let this game slip away.

[stadus]

I have a pick for this game.

Milwaukee vs Charlotte

I'm not sure what's happening why Charlotte is -1 in this game. After the Bucks beat the Nets, they are now an underdog against the Charlotte. I think this is an obvious trap, I like the Bucks but in this situation, I'd rather go against the public perception.

Therefore my pick is Charlotte -1.. Good luck guys!

I was in that same dilemma when I am looking at the spreads so I checked the injury report. It's just Jrue Holiday that is listed so I took the bet as fast as I could for the Bucks. I hope it's not a trap. 
Bucks -1.5. - Yeah, I even took the -1.5 bet because I thought it was a mistake from betting lines. Well, will just cheer for the Bucks anyway.

Phoenix Suns versus Miami Heat - Suns -8.5 Homecourt advantage plus an undermanned Heat. The Suns will definitely take this one, the spreads though might be a little high for others. The lowest is -6.5 iirc.

LeBron is now averaging 28.7 PPG this season and ain't nothing new about it as we know LeBron is a real talented one. They are now on their 4th win streak and ready to replace the Mavericks in the WCF in they can go through against the Grizzlies tomorrow. They really need to win and catch up to their loss and honestly, they're quite having a nice movement now with a real chemistry on the process, we can now also feel Westbrook's presence. Almost everything are set for Davis's return and make a huge comeback in the West.

Next up, Miami Heat (+8.5)

First half seems that Jazz still in control even without all of their stars, but after that half time, Raptors starts to work,

2 more quarters is enough to overtake that huge gap, they completely underscore the Jazz in the last quarter, no hope for the Jazz
as Raptors is really on heat, every shots are really falling the right place.

Congrats to all who analyze the game well and take Toronto to win.

Let's see if they can beat Morant and company, that's going to be a big win for them and I think they might even be an underdog that time even playing at home as the Grizzlies are really doing an excellent job in their last few games.

Next up, Miami Heat (+8.5)

Lots of players out for the Heat, and Butler might be out too, that's a tough choice.

Going for the Bucks as well, I think the reason why the odds are this close is because the Hornets have a solid home record and their recent home losses are against the top teams like Suns and Sixers. While the Bucks are looking somewhat better it's still a toss up game knowing they could still lose to a weaker team like the Pistons at any given day plus they have little rest since they're on a back to back game. Regardless I see some value on the Bucks at plus odds.

Unfortunately, the Bucks lost in this game with a 8 point lead. I haven't watch the game but it seems that it was only Jrue that didn't play but it was a late comeback from the Bucks.

Giannis though scored 43 big points but it was not enough, only 3 players scored double digits for the Bucks. So also a lost for me, although I'm 1/1 with the Memphis win.
