NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Yamifoud]

I don't know how many more much they left but if they still have a chance to get a spot in playoffs, They can finally make it if they will continue to be consistent like this.

One thing for sure, the Lakers will play in the play-in tournament to get into the playoffs. They are over 10 games behind the 7th and there's no way they can catch up on it. However, they are just only 3 wins ahead of the 11th spot, and chances of not getting into the playoffs have a chance if they will not try to make more winnings from now on.

Russell Westbrook's inconsistency should now be lessened. Ignore those massive criticisms about him and stay focused. It's clear that when he performed well, it's a big contribution to the Lakers, especially to Lebron that is putting up good numbers consistently.

Lakers @ 2.06 vs Wizards next game. I'm sure they will have a 2-game winning streak.

I agree that the Lakers would be a great value bet @ over 2 Odds

The Wizards don't have much to play for and are having a horrible losing streak, Lakers should be able to pull this off, I'll tail you on that.

I hope it's not a trap, that odds seemed to be very attractive since LA Lakers come from a big win while the Wizards are still in a losing streak. I would be cautious with this one, I may put a bet but won't max it out, thinking of putting a bet on other game with my max bet and I like the Bucks on the road.

I also certainly believe that this Mavericks could stop the Sixers but based on the spreads, I'm not quite sure that they can cover it well even if it's just -3 spread. You know, every .5 spread counts so I'll probably do sime live betting on this game.

Mavericks are the underdog in this game. Looks like Embiid will play because the Sixers are currently at -3.5, so if you really trust the Mavericks to win, just take the moneyline and enjoy the game.

Yes, I did bet on Sixers just a few hours away before the game starts and I'm quite glad that I've mad that bet even though I was not too certain at that time. The game was good but the Mavs cannot take on Embiid as he dominates them in the 2nd half, Luka only made 17 points for playing 30mins+ in the game today.

Tomorrow, I'll bet on the Mavericks -1.5 as they will have a back to back game in the Hornets home, this time they are the favorite and they will definitely bounce back here.

[freedomgo]

I have 2 early bets that are sealed.
Brooklyn Nets vs Portland Trail Blazers - Nets -14.5
Atlanta Hawks vs Memphis Grizzlies - Grizzlies -5.5. According to injury reports, Ja Morant may play this one.
Good luck everyone.

I will follow you on those bets that you've sealed earlier.

The Brooklyn Nets will definitely dominate the Blazers here, they still need to win some more games to increase their chance in climbing the 6th spot. I have no doubt on that even if Irving can't play and the spread will be covered definitely, this time it's Nets -13 and I'll also add Nuggets -2.5 vs Cavaliers. GL!

Yeah, when I check the odds I'm thinking that it is huge, but seeing how the Blazers have been losing games in their last 4 games, it was like 20 plus points and with Durant in the line up for Nets they could cover this easily.

But I'm more interested on the Grizzlies vs Hawks, same bet with you, Grizzlies proven that they can win games without Morant and still covered the spread.

Nets have won the game against the Blazers and that's good for them as they really need that win but sadly for us, they didn't cover the spread we got. Well, I guess we're not that lucky today because we definitely lost those bets that we've mention. Let's bet again because we also need to bounce back. LOL

I got 3 road games on my list, here's mine:
Milwaukee Bucks -2.5 vs Minnesota Timberwolves
Dallas Mavericks -1.5 vs Charlotte Hornets
Los Angeles Lakers +2 vs Washington Wizards

[Distinctin]

Finally, Lakers already developed a new roster line-up by making Howard as center and LeBron go back as forward. I preferred this new roster since LeBron is finally comfortable on his position and freely making a score without any more distraction when thinking about defense. Westbrook seems performing well as 6th man and this is what he should be performing to make Laker back again n the game without Davis.

I don't know how many more much they left but if they still have a chance to get a spot in playoffs, They can finally make it if they will continue to be consistent like this.

Yes, I prefer their line up this time because it was the same line up they used when they won the championship against the Miami Heat last 2020, Howard was the aggressive center while LBJ and AD is doing the offensive play, without worrying their defense because they know that they can rely on Howard and that same line up turns out a very good decision. The only difference this year is that they don't have Alex Caruso's versatility anymore.

They only have 13 games left to play before the regular season ends but it won't be an easy way because the top teams in the East and West are also in that same last 13 games. Frank Vogel should stop experimenting this time because that would definitely increasing the chances of losing.

[stadus]

The Brooklyn Nets had to dig in deep to get a win here tonight, the Blazers had a terrific game but great effort by the Nets to get the win eventually, definitely the worse night to back the big dogs to cover their spread, 7 matches completed thus far and it's been only the 76ers that have been able to cover the spread. That's why I hate the double digits spread especially with playoffs apporaching and all teams are trying to rotate and get almost all their players in the best physical shape.

Yeah, out of 10 games they only won 2 and that's now and against the Wizards a week ago. Bad luck.
The Nets may have won the game but when it comes to playing offense with offense they lack the power. They need to strengthen their defense because it was highlighted now by letting Portland score 75 points in the first half.
I lost all my bets today. Will try to get it back tomorrow. Even my Over 215.5 for 76ers vs Mavs didn't hit. Ouch.

I also had the same bet Over 215.5 for the game between the Sixers and the Mavs, but when I saw the score in the first quarter I said that chances are slim or it could be a very close score.

Made some mistakes as well, I thought I put a but on the Lakers winning the game early in the second quarter when it was still a tight match, then go back to sleep. so I thought I made a W but when I checked the bet was not there. Anyhow, we will get back tomorrow for sure. 

I also thought that a 215.5 is possible on the 76ers and Mavericks game today, but it turns out that the game was so tight and Luka haven't scored for more than 20 points, their biggest contributor was Jalen Brunson who got 24 points on there side.

Don't worry, the Lakers are playing again tomorrow vs the Wizards but they're the underdog this time. There's not much to expect on Lakers because they're still inconsistent in their last 5 games but I'll bet on them this time because the last time this two teams have met, Lebron went beast mode and scored 50 with 7 rebs.

Okay, I will give them one more chance using the history of winning against the Wizards and I think Lebron wants to prove something to Kuz and KCP that's why he keeps on dropping bombs on them.  Lakers ML.

Do you guys think there is something wrong with the two early games? It looks like a trap again. Dinwiddie is out for the Mavs but Luka will still be there.
With Bucks, only  Pat Connaughton is registered in injury reports. Well, gotta risk it but it does give me the chills that it may be a trap. I hope not.
Hornets vs Mavs -1.5
Twolves vs Bucks -3.5

Hornets vs Mavs -1.5
Twolves vs Bucks -3.5

Yeah, that's what I noticed about Lebron against the Wizards, it seems that he wants to shut up Kuzma by putting big numbers and winning it for the Lakers.

I have the Lakers at +1.5 @1.98, I think that is very attractive odds so I have take that one already.

Same with the Mavs against the Hornets -1.5 @1.88. So best of luck and hopefully we can recover.

Too tough to bet on Lakers now especially on the road.  I'm actually going to take the twolves on this bet.  The line is too suspicious to bet on the Bucks.  Wolves have been playing good ball lately too.  Gonna take the cavs -5.5 against Detroit as well.  Good luck today everyone!

I already had Milwaukee Bucks ML @ about 1.69 Odds on a well progressing parlay, knowing fully well that they don't have any much of an injury issue, but all of sudden close to the game they became the underdogs with Giannis out and questionable Edwards is now dominating 🫤

[Dave1]

Yeah, and we are back on the road with a win:




I didn't know that Giannis will not play in this game, I just had a feeling that they are going to win against the Bucks tonight. The confidence is off the roof with the Wolves, KAT having a 60 point game performance and the whole clowning of Westbrook by both Pat Bev and KAT himself.

[morvillz7z]

I didn't have much time today to look through the games, only a few live bets. Here's a nice win i had on the Cavs and Pistons game. The Cavs were down five and shooting only 17% from 3pt range, nearly 20% worse than the Pistons. I figured the 3pt % would balance it out in the second half and the Cavs would make a comeback to win like they did against Denver last night, a fun fact...Detroit hasn't had two wins in a row on the road all season long, streak is alive Lol. Lucky with the O/U (it was trending in the right direction at the half at around 230), last-second 3pt shot from Cade, lol i will take it given the last-second ultimate bad beat that i had yesterday with the Lakers/Raptors.

[ralle14]

Another disappointing loss for the Lakers, good thing I tuned in when the Wizards were down early and got them at plus points. At the start of the third quarter it felt like the Lakers are slowly going to run away with the lead but luckily the Wizards held on and kept the lead within a single digit at the end of the quarter. 

[danherbias07]

Just as I thought it was all a trap. My chills are correct but I didn't listen to it. 
Questions suddenly pop out how our bookies knew who is in and out as early as possible. I don't see anything in social media and even in basketball analysts' pages about Giannis resting and other stuff.
Losing streak. This is bad. Hopefully, most of us can get back on track in the next game. This will be the time they will rest their stars unpredictably so gotta be careful.

For sure you can get back on track mate.

As for the sports bookies knowing ahead of time who will be in or out as early, I also have the feeling that they've known it before hand specially bookies in Las Vegas. And for sure crypto bookies rely on them for odds making. Maybe it's time to best bet on live and see how is going to play or not.

Sometimes you have to be clever, betting in game time is very effective to ensure that you know all the players that will play and who are out in the game especially the superstars because they have a big impact on the outcome of the game. On the other hand, if the opposing team you are betting would also announce that their star player will not play, then that would give you the advantage.

I always do that everytime I put a decent amount of bet in a certain game, this is making sure you'll be able to apply your analysis, otherwise, you jut hope you'll be lucky that you will still win and that would not work in the long run as winning probability is the most important recipe for success.

Anyway, how about we start a discussion on the games tomorrow?

Warriors playing at home without Curry, will they win the game?
Philly -5 against the Raptors, will they cover the spread?

These two games is what I'm interested to bet on.

I haven't look at the against the odds stat but the betting against the Lakers has to have been a winning year for bettors.  I've went against them a ton in the beginning of the season when bookies always over pick the Lakers same with the Yankees.  Betting against the Yankees early in the baseball season usually fares well too.

Yeah, thanks guys. But there are times I won't be able to catch the game, especially the early ones so I'd need to make the bet at this time.
The problem is we don't have the resource to know who is in or not as early as possible but just injury reports from the ESPN website. Even sports analysts won't have a peek about it until an hour before or maybe later than that.

Back to early picks and I wish this time will have good results.
Golden State Warriors vs San Antonio Spurs. Warriors -6.5. I think that should be enough to cover.
Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors - 76ers -6.5. Embiid is questionable but they got Harden if ever he will miss the game. Time to shine again.

That's the good side of watching the live game. You can assess if which team is having a good advantage.

It's no longer new to this league that management are doing some unexpected decisions, load management that gives stars
a good rest, this kind of action creates disadvantages for the bettors.

Betting in a much earlier period in the kind of events will bring you to a risky position, unless the team is well organized even
without the stars, can still manage to win.

I really agree and it's crazier times now.

I like 76ers and Warriors respective matchups and that'd like be where I'll be leaning tonight, but I'll wait close to the game.
