NBA 2024-2025 betting

[morvillz7z]

Don't like too many of the games tonight I will take the Knicks -5.  <...>

How do you go from leading by 23 points late in the third quarter to losing by 9 in the end, a 32-point swing? damn    

Anfernee Simons, with all those guys traded and Lillard still out, back-to-back games with 23 shot attempts. A fantastic DFS material, i should start including him in my props more often now. (taking notes)

Saturday night against the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has the opportunity to become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer in regular season and playoffs combined. James, who has scored a total 44,131 points over the course of his 19-year career, is just 18 points away from tying Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

It's not the all-time leading scorer record (Kareem still has close to 2k pts lead) that's about to be broken by LeBron today but still, i'm a sucker when it comes to betting on these. That's why i got Bron to score 25+ pts / 2+ 3pts / 6+ rebs @1.88 won

- 21 straight games of 25 or more points for LeBron
- 2+ 3pts made in 9/L10
- 6+ reb in 9/L10

Tonight's ML was very high, 3 out of 11 games tomorrow have a spread of more than +/-10 along with the superdogs Phoenix vs Magic (+/-16). Also tomorrow, it's 76ers vs Cavs but I think Harden still can't play tonight though.

Other lines were risky, so I'll play much safer for now. I'll pick Memphis Grizzlies -7 vs Charlotte Hornets.
Hornets have won against Pistons and will play a back to back game tomorrow, I'll guess they'll be much weary tomorrow against the fresh Grizzlies. GL!

Yeah, similar bet with the Grizzlies, again they are on the hottest streak so why not?

And then we have the Suns vs Magic, I think the Suns can cover the double digit spread, they have been covering spreads lately specially if they are the underdog.

Warriors vs Lakers has started, Warriors took a slight lead already.

Took Orlando +14 tonight.  With gobert out I think Orlando can drive in the middle and get some paint points to keep it close.  I don't think they will win but think they can at least keep it close enough without the big fella in there.  Will need a big night out of one of the rooks, hoping Wagner goes off.  Kid has been better then expected.

Got screwd in the end.  They ended up losing by 15

Don't like to many of the games tonight I will take the Knicks -5.  Blazers just lost McCallum and with Dame out the team is rudderless.  Think the Knicks can build on the other nights win in golden state.  All the other games don't interest me betting wise today.  Good luck all!

Terrible loss.  The Knicks had this game all game and got outscored by 24 points in the 4th quarter.  That's more than some teams score in a quarter!!.  This team has no balls.  Betting against them the reality of the way should be profitable.  Knicks need to scrap this team and start over...AGAIN.

I'm taking the Grizzlies -5.5 vs Hornets, they're in a better form, even though they're having a loss here and there they're still beating most of the teams as expected while the Hornets continue to regress 0-5 in their last 5 home matches. There are days where Hornets look better but I doubt they could take down the Grizzlies with the performance they're putting up recently plus they're on a back-to-back.



I also think the Warriors should hit, it's just that the Lakers always have the threat to make it close but after their loss against Portland you're better off betting against them or include them in your blacklist.

Oh, so the lines was changed a few hours after I took the Grizzlies -7 bet. Gladly they managed to cover up the spread I betted
Anyways, congratulations to you too mate! Like you, I was also confident that Grizzlies won't be going down today against the Hornets who wil play a back-to-back game today against our fresh well rested team. Ball, Harrell and Roziel lead it and were the Charlotte's biggest contributor with combined score of 80 points but that won't be enough to beat the Grizzlies because almost all of them managed to put double digits.

Lakers defeating GSW at San Francisco? Nah, I don't think so. GSW -6.5.

I was just looking at this game. I’m not sure I’m confident enough to bet the spread, but maybe a W for the Warriors. It’s a nationally televised game so you can expect the stars to bring their A game. I’ll be watching it later and taking advantage of the free entertainment. The Warriors have been on fire and the Lakers struggling, so we’ll see if that trend continues. Hopefully everyone who is able to, plays.

You're right. I should've just taken the ML. I lost all my bets but it was fun watching the game. Damn Lebron James missing that first shot of three in the free throw. That could've been an overtime and who knows if I can hit my spread there.
Did you hear what Jeff Van Gundy was recommending before the last free throw? Put Dwight Howard in! If they did, it will be a different ending. GSW has no big players and he will certainly dominate that rebound which was perfectly missed by James with the ball bouncing upwards.

Knicks was upset by Blazers. Not cool.

[Ziskinberg]

Warriors vs Lakers has started, Warriors took a slight lead already.

Yes, Warriors had the lead but in the end, they still failed to cover the spread. Not cool for the Warriors backers because we are expecting they'll dominate the Lakers but it turns out it's a close game. Great game by Klay, he really shines in tough competition that's why the Warriors this season is getting better and I would say they are a championship-caliber already.

Yeah, if not for Klay's heroics in the 4th quarter, chances are they could have lost to the Lakers with the way this play this game. I'm sure that Steve Kerr is not happy with the performance of his Warriors. They supposedly win big in their home court which they usually does and cover that big spread even if the opening line is a double digit lead for them.

Warriors lose their big lead but Thompson came to the rescue to ensure that their losing streak will not be extended. There's a big weakness of the Warriors defense without Draymond Green, but for sure when he comes back, they'll be unbeatable again.

This is the Result of my pick to today,


New Orleans Pelicans VS San Antonio Spurs SCORE 114 - 124 - LOST

Well, my luck was not expected during this game sadly the Spurs was really superb from start to finish, they got the most 3 point shots, the most field goal percentage, and have fewer turnovers than the Pelicans, with just 5 Turnovers and Pelicans with 15, well even though CJ McCollum has a double-double 11 Rebounds and 36 points and Jonas Valanciunas has 12 Rebounds and 17 points it was not enough with Spurs decent spread with their points and Dejounte Murray's own double-double almost a Triple-double 7 Rebounds, 12 Assists, and 31 Points, I have lost this bet but it was a great game.


Charlotte Hornets VS Memphis Grizzlies SCORE 118 - 125 - WIN

It was the 1st half lead that make the Memphis Grizzlies win over the Hornets, we can see from the game stats that the Grizzlies certainly have the advantage over the field goals and 3 points percentage, and with the points on the paint, Grizzlies have to lead the game, even though they have 17 turnovers and Hornets have 16 then still have a much bigger percentage throughout the game.

Miami Heat VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 115 - 111 - WIN

the Miami Heat might be struggling in the first half but they have lead in the 2nd half winning this game, Kyrie Irving had done tremendously with Cameron Thomas, and with a double-double play of Day'Ron Sharpe, it was really not enough in the determination of the Miami Heat, it was real teamwork that has gone the Heat from winning this, and Bam Adebayo's Double-double play, Even though the Heat's Turnover was 15 and the Nets only has 8 they have won most of the game stat percentages,


Golden State Warriors VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 117 - 115 - WIN

Another win for the Golden State Warriors over the Lakers even though Lebron James got the double-double to play it was not enough with Kevon Looney's 12 Rebounds, Stephen Curry's shots, and the game-changer for the Warriors Klay Thompson's awesome performance, that lead the Warriors to a victory, but yeah it was really a close game and I can not stay on my seat while watching this game.

[stadus]

congrats @YuginKadoya, that was a 'PROFIT".

My early pick.

Game : Hawks vs Celtics.

Trae Young is listed probable this Sunday,
https://www.numberfire.com/nba/player-news/192108/trae-young-hip-probable-for-atlanta-on-sunday

However, the spread is strange, I think Celtics will continue their win streak and they'll beat the Hawks and cover the spread.
I'm with a team with a great momentum, so I'm sticking with my instinct.

John Collins OUT Sunday vs. Celtics due to foot injury......

Big minus for the Hawks because his contribution is a big time for the team. He averaged 16.8 PPG this season (https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/collijo01.html), so his absence will definitely affect the performance of the team.

Yes, tailing this one, and this game is going to be in TD Garden so for sure Celtics is going to look to impressed their fans because as of late they are on a streak.

And they can cover the spread of -6.5, specially if Trae Young and Collins are out in this game.

Celtics is averaging double digit win in their last couple of games so I will not be surprised if this trend will continue.

The trend will continue for sure, as @viscore is saying, John Collins won't be playing so it's a big factor for the result of this game. If Trae Young would also not gonna play, this will be for sure a big blowout win for the Celtics, I'm seeing a minimum of 10 points win by the home team so that spread should be covered.

How about the other game (Wolves vs pacers), any thoughts?

[danherbias07]

Just two games for this day.
I'll tail with you guys on that Celtics bet. My spread is -7.5 and I wish this ain't a trap because of the Trae Young probability to play. The game will start in 45 minutes.

How about the other game (Wolves vs pacers), any thoughts?

Same question. These two teams are unpredictable that's why I am having a difficult time choosing. But considering how the Pacers were revamped it might still feel awkward for them playing for each other so I am going for the T'wolves -4.5.

Yeah with the superbowl ahead of us no nba tonight.  Well at least the Knicks can't lose today 😂

I'm taking the Timberwolves-6 on the road today against the Pacers.  Think the Pacers will struggle with brogan still out.  Get a little juice on the table before football.  Good luck today everyone.

I couldn't get on the Celtics train early but I guess it's a blessing in disguise, Celtics are currently having a hard time against Hawks, Trailing by 10 points with around 3' left in the first half, and Trae Young have being the mastermind behind the problem they're facing.

I'll ride on the Timberwolves -6.5 , I've also got Under 240 Total points should incase Timberwolves decide to go cold for the night.

I like the hedge.  Pacers being rudderless after the trade might also slump in with lower points.  Just can't see them pulling out a 60 minute barrage from Timberwolves.  I didn't like the Celtics game either way. Awesome it fun until the superbowl at least lol, good luck.

I lost the Under 240 bets, but Timberwolves were just able to cover the spread, so I ended in a bit of profit for the night.

Celtics with a huge comeback themselves in the 3rd Quarter to the game, congratulations to the winners.

Superbowl has deprived us of more games today.

The line didn't change I remember they're around -6.5 to -7 @1.91, I just bought a few points since the spread opened at around -4/-5 then it moved heavily due to the public backing the favorites.

Also,I had a gut feeling it'll be close since the Hornets are still a decent team at home. Sweaty cover at the end but good thing they hold on.  

[danherbias07]

I think all spread is covered. Right? Sorry for those who missed the train for the Boston Celtics game. It was really early at 3:00 AM GMT+8.

After a perfect loss, a perfect win comes back. Hurray! Cheers to all who tailed and thank you to those who recommended the Celtics bet.
For the Pacers, just like what I thought, they need to work on their chemistry first before they could start winning their games even against a struggling Timberwolves. That revamp of their roster needs more time before they could start to synchronize.
