NBA 2024-2025 betting

[Yamifoud]

Denver were short here, they won but did not cover the spread.
Jokic production on points were only limited, that's why, he was only shooting 6-16, so they they were not able to dominate the Kings.

Yup, Jokic started slow, it took him 9mins before getting some shots in and they can't hold on to their leads. Whenever they're about to get a double digit lead they'll suddenly allow the Kings to score consecutive points.

It was a back and forth game up until the end but they got lucky as the Kings made some crucial mistakes in the final minute of the fourth quarter then they started fouling which only made things worse.

That's the problem with the high spread, it's necessary that you are betting are dominating their opponent so you'll not worry while watching. It's just one of the losses we have, of course, just bounce back mate on the games tomorrow, good luck. Do you have an early lean?

Low spread and high spread is still the same, even if you bet on the underdog, there are times that you are not really lucky. It's easy to choose without a point spread because you'll just bet on the favorite, but you know the odds for the favorites, you'll still likely to lose in the long run, meaning it's not easy.

For tomorrow, I got the Warriors over Dallas, -4 should cover.

[Bttzed03]

So who else got f*ckd by the Bucks vs. Nets game? I was confident Bucks is going to win by a double digit margin but that damn Irving


Moving on to the next games,

Sixers vs. Knicks - I'm taking Sixers -9.5 @ 2.2 Harden played really well in his debut while Embiid still having an MVP worthy season.
Jazz vs. Suns - I'm not sure how Suns is the slight favorite with their growing injury list but I'm taking Jazz to win here @1.9ish.

[YuginKadoya]

My Picks for Tomorrow's game highlighted in green are my picks,

Phoenix Suns VS Utah Jazz

The stake odds for this match is 1.89 for the Suns while 1.96 for the Jazz For me, this is a hard time for the Phoenix Suns, and Devin Booker can not handle it all alone, without Dario Saric, Frank Kaminsky, Chris Paul, and Cameron Payne while Aaron Holiday is in question if he's going to play, while Utah Jazz has Jared Butler and Rudy Gay in the injury list, so much Jazz still has their main players, for me this is a tough time for the Suns, I can not say that Devin Booker would do well if his team is not in tough shape, so my pick would be Utah Jazz.

Houston Rockets VS Los Angeles Lakers

The stake odds for this game are 3.30 for the Rockets while 1.36 for the Clippers, and right now Usman Garuba, and John Wall can not play while Kevin Porter is questionable if he can play, while Kawhi Leonard, Norman Powell, Jason Preston, and Paul George can not play for the Clippers, but even though Paul George is not playing for the Clipper, they still have a powerful lineup, and for the team of the Houston Rockets I think they can pull a win against them, their February 18 game could be a repeat on what happened back then.

Golden State Warriors VS Dallas Mavericks

Stake odds for this game are 1.56 for the Warriors while 2.50 for the Mavericks right now Draymond Green, James Wiseman, and Andre Iguodala can not play while Klay Thompson has an illness and is questionable if he can play, while Tim Hardaway Jr. and Theo Pinson can not play for the Mavericks, while Frank Ntilikina, Marquese Chriss, Trey Burke is questionable if they can play, right now the Dallas Mavericks, is still in top shape despite having some injuries, they still have some main key players for them while the Golden State Warriors rookies are trying their best and performing well, every time the team needed them, this is a tough call but I am getting my chances with the Golden State Warriors,

Portland Trail Blazers VS Denver Nuggets

Stake Odds for this game are 3.90 for the Blazers while 1.28 for the Nuggets making them the favorite, right now Damian Lillard, Jusuf Nurkic, and Eric Bledsoe can not play, while Justise Winslow and Greg Brown are questionable if they can play, while the Nuggets injuries are Vlatko Cancar, Michael Porter Jr., Jamal Murray, and Zeke Nnaji can not play, right now the TrailBlazer is in deep trouble without their two power forwards Winslow and Brown and the Nuggets still in their top shape despite their injuries, so I will go with the Denver Nuggets.

[Harkorede]

@danherbias07 - early game between the Celtics and the Pistons, final score 113-104 for the Celtics, not enough for the Boston to cover the spread.

Just checked it now and yes, it lacks 2 more points to hit the spread.  Anyway, that's a wild risk I took while the game was tight.

I don't like most of the games today, I'll just be riding with Cavaliers vs Washington Wizards Over 205.5, and Milwaukee Bucks -9.5 vs Brooklyn Nets.

We have the same idea about Cavs and Washington to cover a high score than 205.5 but it didn't hit. Both teams are known for their offensive power but ended as a low-scoring game. Ouch!
1/4 for my bets. Itchy in my wallet but I had fun watching the Bucks and the Nets game. That last-minute was a thrilling one.
Cheers to the winners.

I finished 0/2 for the Night, I should have just taken the night off lol, I knew I didn't like most of the matchup, It seem like a great night to back the Underdogs to cover their spread.

Going forward, I'll be going with Jazz ML vs Phoenix Suns today, I'll wait to see if CP3 will be available for the game though.

So who else got f*ckd by the Bucks vs. Nets game? I was confident Bucks is going to win by a double digit margin but that damn Irving


Moving on to the next games,

Sixers vs. Knicks - I'm taking Sixers -9.5 @ 2.2 Harden played really well in his debut while Embiid still having an MVP worthy season.
Jazz vs. Suns - I'm not sure how Suns is the slight favorite with their growing injury list but I'm taking Jazz to win here @1.9ish.

I've also put by bets on the Sixers -8.5 against the NY Knicks. I have no doubts about this team especially now that it's proven that Harden is a huge plus to the team. Embiid can now focus more in defense because the burden is now shared.

So who else got f*ckd by the Bucks vs. Nets game? I was confident Bucks is going to win by a double digit margin but that damn Irving

Same here I was also over confident that I didn't bother to watch the game and that Bucks will make it without a struggle against the Nets who is now undermanned with missing key players. Lots of fouls in the last 1 minute of the 4th quarter.

[Viscore]

Denver were short here, they won but did not cover the spread.
Jokic production on points were only limited, that's why, he was only shooting 6-16, so they they were not able to dominate the Kings.

For tomorrow, I got the Warriors over Dallas, -4 should cover.

Correct! Betting on a favorite doesn't mean that they could win the game easily because the odds are different, there's no assurance that they can handle the spread as it is considered a disability compared to the underdog. Even you did you're part on researching and comparing their stats, it is still not an assurance.

I got the opposite team, Dallas Mavericks +4. GL mate!

[danherbias07]

Sixers vs. Knicks - I'm taking Sixers -9.5 @ 2.2 Harden played really well in his debut while Embiid still having an MVP worthy season.
Jazz vs. Suns - I'm not sure how Suns is the slight favorite with their growing injury list but I'm taking Jazz to win here @1.9ish.

40 minutes before game time with 76ers vs Knicks. I'll follow it with a lower spread with -7.5 for the 76ers just for safety.

Going forward, I'll be going with Jazz ML vs Phoenix Suns today, I'll wait to see if CP3 will be available for the game though.

I don't think he will be back soon. Reports are saying it might be near playoffs before he returns or worse the start of it. I still believe in the Suns power though so I will back them up to win the game. Suns ML.

For tomorrow, I got the Warriors over Dallas, -4 should cover.

Same. Warriors -3.5. It looks like we have different picks today from other members. It's cool. Games will be more entertaining if it will end up as a close one.

[wheelz1200]

Bunch of good games on today I got 2 picks for the day:

Detroit on the road -10 against Charlotte.  Bagley isn't playing for Detroit but they have been playing ok for now.  Think they still lose but cover

And the golden state game.  Draymond is out so golden states defense will struggle.  Instead of picking the game I'm taking the over.  Steph at home without klay as well so there should be some chucking going on.  Rooting for both offenses.

Good luck today everyone!

[morvillz7z]

That PnR game between Harden and Embiid looks unstoppable at times, Knicks with two bigs fouled out in just over 3 quarters and 76ers with 44 free throws...the closest we've gotten to A. Stoudemire and Nash PnR action imo. Apparently, those 27 FTs by Embiid are the most taken by any player this season - source, Harden and Embiid combined for 37 FTs, and it's been just two games. lol

I have the 76ers in a three-team parlay^{[ofc Celtics lose by double-digits to the 20-41 Pacers lol]} with Boston and Charlotte. Normally, when i back a few favorites, i wind up with multiple upsets. The Pistons have the league's worst road record, and while the Pacers have Brogdon back from injury, they are nowhere near Boston, no upsets...please.

That game was hard to watch not only because I'm a knick fan but dam all them fouls.  Killed any momentum either team had.  Knicks rolled over in the 4th again.  They need to draft someone who knows how to finish games.  Terrible showing in the 4th

I got the opposite team, Dallas Mavericks +4. GL mate!

It will surely not always favor and I always make the odds just a guide but it will always not become a thing for my picks, in this kind of things there are a lot of factors that need to be seen before making a decision,

And for the Dallas Mavericks, I am surely torn in making a bet with these two, for the Mavericks their shape are 100%, and with Luka Doncic on the team, their offense and defense are really something, but for the Golden State Warriors I am looking at some other factor, last time these two play against each other, some Warrior players are not cooped up with one another and the defense but because Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, and James Wiseman can not play some Warrior players have now doing great with these roles, and right now most of the players are doing double-digits in their recent games.

Well, as I am posting this the game of Phoenix Suns VS Utah Jazz has now come to the conclusion and I really like the Suns more than the Jazz, but because the Suns have issues with injuries and Devin Booker can not always become all and mighty I have gone in betting for the Utah Jazz and my bets have won, it was a close one and in the end, the Jazz has close the gap and made the lead in the 3rd quarter.

Phoenix Suns VS Utah Jazz - WIN

[ralle14]

I'm fading the Nuggets today and taking Blazers +8.5 since the Nuggets are on a back to back plus they looked a bit off which I mentioned yesterday.

Hopefully, the Blazers continue their form since they looked good before the all-star break.

Edit : There goes my bet. 

[danherbias07]

A win gone in the wind. 21 point lead by the Warriors cut by the Mavs to a close game and even won it at the end. Wow! Luka Doncic and Spencer Dinwiddie are in the zone with combined 58 points. I lost my bet but that was amazing. You cannot relax even with a big lead now.
1/3 for me again.


Now watching Lakers vs Pelicans. Took the bet for the Pelicans before the game started. Let's see if they could help me get back my losses.
Edit: Win - Cheers!

[YuginKadoya]

Here is my pick on today's game,

Phoenix Suns VS Utah Jazz SCORE 114 - 118 - WIN

I sure can feel that the Jazz can score a win over the Suns, even though it was a close match the Utah Jazz has managed to secure it in the 3rd quarter, Devin Booker has the lead score for the Suns of 30 points, while Deandre Ayton, and Cameron Johnson both have 23 points, but this is not enough with Jazz having Rudy Gobert's double-double performance of 14 Rebounds and 16 Points, Donovan Mitchell has 26 points, and Jordan Clarkson's 22 points, has to lead the Utah Jazz to Victory.


Houston Rockets VS Los Angeles Clippers SCORE 98 - 99 - WIN

It's a close match but still a win, I really expected more on the Clippers side, but it was a close match pretty much all of the Houston Rockets players have done their all to win the game but the Clippers seems very lucky, Ivica Zubac having double-double performance, while Reggie Jackson has made 26 points.
getting a close match for this day.


Golden State Warriors VS Dallas Mavericks SCORE 101 - 107 - LOST

No regrets, I surely am doubting them to win but I still go and bet for the Warriors just to show that I think they are improving as a team without Draymond, and Iguodala, Stephen Curry has sure pushed his limits by getting a double-double performance, of 10 Assist and 27 Points, but it was not enough with Luka Doncic's own double-double's of 11 Rebounds and 34 Points it was close match aswell, and I really thought that the Warriors will win this game at the 1st half but Luka Doncic fired up and elevated his game even further.


Portland Trail Blazers VS Denver Nuggets SCORE 92 - 124 - WIN

From start to finish it was a one-sided match even though Drew Eubanks made a double-double performance of 10 Rebounds and 13 points it was not enough for the Nugget's own double-double of Nikola Jokic's 18 Rebounds, 11 Assist, and 8 Points, and Jamychal Green 10 Rebounds, 20 Points, and Nuggets has the most percentage, on Field Goals, 3 Pointers, and free throws.

You got lucky, not only cover but Dallas snatch this game against the hot GSW.

Don't know what happened but the entire 3 quarters were dominated by the warriors, but in the last and important Dallas
overpower them and dominated to win.

Not really an assurance for heavy favorite, even those who bet during live games they are all lost.

Congrats to you and all those who bet against the favorite.

[Bttzed03]

I got lucky with Sixers and Jazz

Next up:

I'm taking Bucks (-9.5) over Hornets @1.79. They were stunned by the Nets but they should be able to cover that against the hornets. I was hoping the odds would be higher because Hornets is quite a decent team right now but it is what it is. What do you think of Giannis total points in this game? Over or under 30.5?

I'm having a hard time with the other games.

Yes, it was a different Knicks for this year, no doubt that some heads are going to roll when their campaign ends for this season. No playoff run this year for them, unlike last year wherein the Knicks was a very tough team to beat because of their leader Julius Randle.

Nets vs Raptors - I will go with the underdog Nets +2.5.

ML should be sweet, for me that was not luck, I mean you choose the stronger team and if he sees Mavericks is the stronger team then that deserves the win. GSW if you look at the last 10 games, they have some struggle, sometimes they win but they failed to cover the spread, and this time around they lose even playing at home.


By the way, my early pick is BUCKS -10.

[YuginKadoya]

My picks for tomorrow's game highlighted in green are my picks

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Minnesota Timberwolves

Stake Odds for this game are 2.16 for Cavaliers while 1.73 for Timberwolves right now Caris LeVert, Rajon Rondo, and Darius Garland can not play for the Cavaliers, while McKinley Wright IV for the Timberwolves can not play, while Malik Beasley is questionable if he can play, right now Darius Garland is 1 of the key players for the Cavaliers, but I really think even though he can not play, they still have a chance in winning against the Timberwolves, Jarrett Allen, Kevin Love, Lauri Markkanen, and Isaac Okoro is enough in my opinion, so I will go with the Cleveland Cavalier.

Brooklyn Nets VS Toronto Raptors

Stake Odds for this game are 2.33 for the Nets while 1.63 for the Raptors, still Joe Harris, Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons, and Kyrie Irving can not play against the Raptors while OG Anunoby can not play for the Raptors while Fred VanVleet is questionable if he can play, for me Brooklyn Nets is having a hard time because their key players can not play, so I would go with the Toronto Raptors for this game this time.

Milwaukee Bucks VS Charlotte Hornets

Stake odds for this game are 1.16 for the Bucks while 5.60 for the Hornets, right now Brook Lopez, Pat Connaughton, and George Hill can not play for the Bucks while only Gordon Hayward can not play for the Hornets and James Bouknight, Jalen McDaniels, and Nick Richards is questionable if they can play for the Hornets, and Despite the Bucks have their injuries, I think their available rooster is good enough to win this game so I would go with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Memphis Grizzlies VS San Antonio Spurs

Stake Odds for this game are 1.24 for Grizzlies while 4.30 for the Spurs, right now Dillon Brooks, John Konchar, and Yves Pons can not play for the Grizzlies and Brandon Clarke is questionable if he can play, while Romeo Langford, Doug McDermott, and Tomas Satoransky are questionable if they can play for the Spurs, well I think even though John Konchar can not play for the Grizzlies, they still have a very tough Roosters to win against the Spurs in my opinion so I'll go with the Grizzlies.

[Questat]

By the way, my early pick is BUCKS -10.

Good luck, Bucks are in a 2 losing, so I'm expecting that they will bounce back really hard here. Time for Giannis to shine, carry the team and dominate the visiting team. Bucks is the defending champion, I don't think they'll lose 3 in a row without giving a good fight.
