NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Distinctin]

I go with the Wizards +3.5 with the Nets, the first quarter has just ended so this is a live betting for me.

This really would have been the easiest bet to tail for me last night, tbh, I literally would have out some on the ML too at over 2.5 Odds. I missed out on all games yesterday, because I couldn't stay up late. Congratulations on wins.

Now we've got the NBA All Star Events for the week long, who are your favourites ? I'm still looking at the options 😞

The ML was really enticing considering how the Nets have been struggling lately, they just won their last game because of a huge comeback but they are still not consistent yet, so their lose is not something we are surprise, they are still prone to losing in their games.

They are very vulnerable mostly when they're playing at home as their star players can't play yet, so it's quite reasonable and common that their losing for now. But let's see if there is some changes this coming few days after the All-star break when Durant will play again and the new Big 3 starts to play back to back especially Simmons.

Exactly mate and that is the Nets biggest weakness now for not having a superstar to play with them because their other players aren't that much decent that contributes well enough, that's why we are seeing this team getting bullied easily. Kevin Durant and Simmons though will be a nice tandem while Irving can't play on homecourt games and Seth will be a good addition to their team.

I want to see Simmon's play side by side with KD, Still a big question if he's fit with the Nets system. Though the chance is good.

He's not really a contributor but more on defensive stopper and a playmaker. Maybe they will start winning again after this all-star.

With KD inside the floor, betting for them got a greater chance of winning.

I still don't have one yet and I am thinking about going for underdogs like Trae Young to win the 3 point shootout against the favorites Patty Mills and Fred Vanvleet.
At Slam Dunk contest though it might be a sure win for Jalen Green with high flying stunts, unlike the other contenders.
The All-Star MVP might be the most difficult to decide of all. It could become a fast pacing game or 3 pointers will have their way so it could be Steph or Giannis. But if they go slow pace Doncic and Jokic might take the trophy. Lines are still changing at this moment.

firstly, I'm not so sure about taking Trae Young he's been the same active 3 points shooter he used (although I've not been keeping up with him that much), secondly he's not an underdog to Mills or VanVleet, at least as the time of this post he's one of the 4 favourites to win it.

I'm personally looking at Luke Kennard and I'm pretty much likely to go with him.

Now we've got the NBA All Star Events for the week long, who are your favourites ? I'm still looking at the options 😞

I've locked Kennard and Trae Young for the 3pt-contest, odds shifted big time yesterday after Kennard career-high 3s vs. Houston. FVV and Young were at 4.40 the other day, Kennard at 7.50...everyone's at 5.50 today. Here's a table with 3pt stats i gathered:


source: https://www.datawrapper.de/ and https://www.nba.com/stats/players/

- FVV attempts and makes the most threes this season and has the second-highest 3pt %, but he has a very slow and high-arching shot, which is negative in a time-sensitive event, could end up forcing shots with the last two racks.
- Trae Young has a quick release and range, he is my backup if Kennard does not win.
- LaVine has been dealing with knee issues for the past few weeks, so i would avoid him completely.
- Towns, i don't think a big guy is winning this competition.
- Bane, the sophomore, made 7 3s against Portland (Grizzlies last game), but despite his decent numbers, he is not a three-point specialist, also he has a weird shot release.
- CJ McCollum is better known for his mid-range game and shot-creating abilities, and he has the worst 3pt % (last 10) of all participants.
- Mills is the oldest player at 33,  he is a proven shooter, despite the fact that the majority of his 3s come off hand-offs, after picks, and off-dribble.
- Kennard is my pick to win the contest, a catch and shoot guard with very quick release, has the highest 3pt % of any of the 8 guys. I'm so mad he made 8 three last night, now everyone is jumping on him and the odds for him to win have crashed and will most likely continue to crash. Fun fact, Curry is the only point guard to win the 3pt-contest in the last 6-7 editions.

I'm taking mills.  He has a smooth stroke and shoots the lights out with no one around him.  I think he is suited for a contest like this and I like his odds at this point.  Excited for the skills competitions, first time I have been in awhile.

My Yesterdays Picks,


Brooklyn Nets VS Washington Wizards SCORE 103 - 117 - WIN

It was a close match at the start of the game but the Wizards claim victory in the 4th quarter, I think Seth Curry and Andre Drummond is not yet accustomed to the change of teams or the Brooklyn Nets is not yet accustomed to them, but without Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving it was really a hard match for the Nets, but it was really a close match but the Wizards have claim all the game stat percentage, Field goals, 3 pointers, free throws, and most points in the paint.

Milwaukee Bucks VS Philadelphia 76ers SCORE 120 - 123 LOST

Having doubts about betting with the Bucks last time, and right now I have done the same mistake, but still, Giannis Antetokounmpo delivers a good game with a double-double performance of 11 Rebounds, 9 Assists, and 32 Points almost a triple-double, but it was not enough with Joel Embiid's own double-double performance of 14 rebounds, 5 Assists, 42 points, and with the game stats, the 76ers have crushed the opposition, regarding all points field goals, 3 pointers, free throws, and points in the paint, it was a lost but it was a good game to watch.

Los Angeles Clippers VS Houston Rockets SCORE 142 - 111 WIN

From start to finish the Los Angeles Clippers were crushing the Rockets it was a beautiful spread in the player's score having Ivica Zubac's double-double performance of 10 Rebounds, 13 points, and the leading points of Marcus Morris Sr. of 27 points game stat percentage were really taken by the Clippers as well, in Field goals, 3 pointers, free throws and points in the paint, it was a one-sided game.

^Cheers Dave. You got it both right.
In my case, not perfect but a satisfying one as I added a parlay for both Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo to achieve a double-double.
I wanted to add Embiid to the line but Stake.com doesn't allow the same game multi-bet just yet. Maybe in the future, they will also bring one like a betbuilder in sportsbet.
All-Star guys! Lines are already open so you might want to analyze it now. 
Jalen Green - Slam Dunk fave.
Fred Vanvleet and Patty Mills - 3 point contest faves.
Giannis - All-Star MVP fave.

Thanks mate, you too, congrats on your winning. At least we end the first half of the regular season with a good win.

Lots of good entry for the slam dunk contest, but I agree with your picks, Jalen Green and Cole Anthony.

If I'm not mistaken, Mills is on the top of the 3 as far as percentage so definitely he will also be the favorite to win. Maybe my dark horse is Luke Kennard.

[YuginKadoya]

I am really excited about the NBA All-star game, and surely I really don't know who am I choosing, but as we all know that I got some interest in the Golden State Warriors team right now and seeing Andrew Wiggins, and Draymond Green on Team Durant VS Stephen Curry on Team Lebron side, I really don't know both teams surely have a potential to win in the all-star, but as always players like Lebron James, Stephen Curry, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, and Chris Paul seems like a likable for most people to bet but likely Kevin Durant still has injuries so he will not be playing for the All-star and I think that is a bummer and he will be replaced by LaMelo Ball, while I think Draymond Green is still injured so he will be replaced by Dejounte Murray, and James Harden will be replaced by Jarrett Allen, this will be a long wait and the game will start on February 21, Monday, while the games will resume on February 25 Friday.

Giannis is very athletic and he is still hungry for greatness, so I guess he can win the MVP again, it will be a back to back MVP award for him. On the dunk contest, that's very unpredictable, same with the 3 point shooting IMO.

And it seems that Giannis the favorite to win the MVP again?

And then Team Lebron at 1.43 ML against Team Durant at 2.80, this might be a good time to bet on the underdogs at ML.

3 point shot, yeah I like Kennard's chances here.

He is still the favorite to win but the odds for Giannis is still very attractive. I can get  5.18 odds for Giannis.

And then Team Lebron at 1.43 ML against Team Durant at 2.80, this might be a good time to bet on the underdogs at ML.

3 point shot, yeah I like Kennard's chances here.

I am with you, Team Durant is an underdog so I would also choose them to win, I would not gamble on 1.43 odds in an all star, they are just having fun, so upset is possible.

[danherbias07]

@Harkorede. Yes the lines keep on changing but yesterday it was Mills and Vanvleet tied at the front. Now Mills @5.40 is the only one left as the favorite while Fred, Trae, and Luke are tied @5.75. That's on Stake.com

And it seems that Giannis the favorite to win the MVP again?

Yes he is. I think this tells it will be a fast pace game if more of the bets are on Giannis.

And then Team Lebron at 1.43 ML against Team Durant at 2.80, this might be a good time to bet on the underdogs at ML.

I can't see it yet in my favorite bookie. I hope it will be available later. But same as you, I may go for the underdogs.  

[Hypnosis00]

Yes he is. I think this tells it will be a fast pace game if more of the bets are on Giannis.

Giannis is more confident now, last season, he won the all-star MVP and won the Finals MVP, I think winning is really easy for him because as long as he gets the ball, he can either dunk it or just drive to the basket, everything is easy for him, so that bet is really good for me.

The ML was really enticing considering how the Nets have been struggling lately, they just won their last game because of a huge comeback but they are still not consistent yet, so their lose is not something we are surprise, they are still prone to losing in their games.

With KD inside the floor, betting for them got a greater chance of winning.

The chances of Simmons that he would fit into the Nets is pretty much high as he already proved himself what he can do in the league and that he is a versatile player, not just in defense but he's a good contributor and does have a great assists too. Him and KD playing side by side have much more chances.

[YuginKadoya]

This is the NBA All-star games and I am excited to see this

Taco Bell Skills Challenge

Team Rooks:
• Scottie Barnes, Toronto Raptors
• Cade Cunningham, Detroit Pistons
• Josh Giddey, Oklahoma City Thunder

Team Cavs:
• Jarrett Allen, Cleveland Cavaliers
• Darius Garland, Cleveland Cavaliers
• van Mobley, Cleveland Cavaliers

Team Antetokounmpos:
• Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks
• Alex Antetokounmpo, Raptors905
• Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks

I would go with these teams in the Skill Challenge, I think brothers really know each other skills so I think they are accustomed to each other what they can do,

MTN DEW 3-Point Contest

• CJ McCollum, New Orleans Pelicans
• Trae Young, Atlanta Hawks
• Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls
• Desmond Bane, Memphis Grizzlies
• Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota Timberwolves
• Fred VanVleet, Toronto Raptors
• Luke Kennard, LA Clippers
• Patty Mills, Brooklyn Nets

I will go with Luke Kennard with this one, I just can feel that he will win the 3 Point contest,

AT&T Slam Dunk

• Cole Anthony, Orlando Magic
• Juan Toscano-Anderson, Golden State Warriors
• Obi Toppin, New York Knicks
• Jalen Green, Houston Rockets

For the slam dunk, I would go with Jalen Green for the Houston Rockets, I think he got the air time to do some stunts and let the crowd go wild,

[Harkorede]

I will go with Team Cavs for the skills challenge, I've already got Kennard for 3 point contest and It's Jalen Green as well for in the Slam Dunk.

I don't think I'll be taking the team Durant for game, I think Team Lebron would easily win this, or I might just go for the Overs instead of taking either team.

[Ziskinberg]

or I might just go for the Overs instead of taking either team.

Every time there's an all star game, my bet is usually on the over. If team Lebron will win then most likely Giannis Antetokounmpo will be named as the MVP as for sure he will get a high shooting percentage with his aggressiveness in driving the ball just like what we witnessed in the past. So we should also not miss that one.

I am torn in taking the Team Cavs or the Team Antetokounmpo but I have chosen team Antetokounmpo's but again, pretty anything from that two teams will be great, and with the 3 point contest Trae Young or Luke Kennard but I have gone to Kennard because I feel like he can surely win this one, and with the slam dunk Jalen Green all the way,

I sure think Team Lebron can easily win as well because Lebron is playing aswell, while Kevin Durant is still injured, even though they have Joel Embiid or Karl-Anthony Towns, this will surely progress with the way each player can coop up to their role as a team, and whichever team won I think Lebron and Durant keep the teams balance in their best draft as possible.

or I might just go for the Overs instead of taking either team.

Every time there's an all star game, my bet is usually on the over. If team Lebron will win then most likely Giannis Antetokounmpo will be named as the MVP as for sure he will get a high shooting percentage with his aggressiveness in driving the ball just like what we witnessed in the past. So we should also not miss that one.

Many liked Giannis Antetokounmpo to be MVP, but I want a different player to win, but yeah the explosiveness of Antetokunmpo is legit, he sure makes an impression every time he plays, I would love to see the game and we could see this tomorrow, I am really excited right now.

[morvillz7z]

I've locked two more head-to-head bets for the 3-pt contest: CJ to beat Towns and FVV to beat Bane.

I don't have anything on the Skills Challenge, don't like the changes they've made this year. The Rooks are a sure thing for the final round because they have the most shooting, passing, and dribbling off the three teams with two guards. However, the last round involves making a half-court shot, which is more luck than skill. I guess the Cavs have a slight advantage over Antetokounmpos because they have a guard, Garland.

As for the Dunk contest, i've no bets again and very low expectations...hopefully, the guys participating prove me wrong.

Kennard bros, GL!  

[Ziskinberg]

Congratulations to KAT for winning the 3 point contest and those who are brave enough to bet on KAT to win, that was a high odds so it's a big win. What was the odds for KAT, IIRC, it was over 10? correct me if I'm wrong, but regardless it's still a big win.
