NBA 2024-2025 betting

[Maslate]

My early pick. .. I got Spurs ML and Clippers -11.5

That's a great pick, Spurs are playing at home and KT will have a rest.
It's a no-bearing game for both teams, so it's possible to see that the Warriors will not take it seriously, the home team should have an edge here.

How about the New Orleans vs Memphis game? No bearing as well but can Memphis stay consistent and win the home game?
The point spread is -6.5 MEM.

It is, but I'm going with the Warriors -6 today even if Klay Thompson is already ruled out due to load management. The Warriors may not be in their best today but they can still come up with win to extend their winning streak, with of course spread well be covered.

The Grizzlies, The Grizzlies upgraded Ja Morant to questionable heading into the game against the Pelicans. Taylor Jenkins has announced that he may play in one of the Grizzlies' last two games.

So, I think this is the game where Ja Morant will play as this is their last play in their home this regular season. That alone will be enough for me that they can cover that -6 spread.

I will follow you on that Warriors bet, Thompson is the only player who is sidelined in their current roster after Curry was injured. They still have more players that can play especially Poole who is really stepping up his game into a different level and they already proved that they can handle without their splash bros previously in this same season.

Not sure, but in my opinion, as a respect to his former mentor Steve Kerr may rest his players and allow Spurs

to win this game, it's Coach Pop desire to bring Spurs to another shot to the next round, though it's only an opinion and
everything still depends on how these two teams will perform.

On the other game, Memphis is unpredictable just like how the Suns are performing. They are very capable of winning the
game and as per the post above possible for Morant to play, that's another advantage.

Okay, so I am having a difficult time deciding so I just followed most of the bets of our members here. (While watching the 76ers game live)

So, I think this is the game where Ja Morant will play as this is their last play in their home this regular season. That alone will be enough for me that they can cover that -6 spread.

Yes, I'll tail that. -6.5 for the Grizzlies. Even without Ja Morant, their bench is good enough to defeat the Pelicans. We have seen them play with high chemistry even without their leader and they can win even against top teams. I wish they will cover the spread though.

My early pick. .. I got Spurs ML and Clippers -11.5

Followed both with some changes in the spreads. For Spurs, I put a handicap of +5.5 just to be sure. Someone in the Warriors might catch a hot hand so just for security measure.  Clippers -10.5
Good luck to us.

[wheelz1200]

Gimme the Clippers-11.5 at home tonight and will be taking the Spurs +6.5 at home.  With the play in locked in they might relax a bit but  banking on them using this as a warm up game.  They are in the one and done so they should be sharp gearing up for it.

Good luck everyone!

[Baofeng]

Just picking one game tonight, Warriors vs the Spurs. I going with the Warriors here -6.5. I think they can still win this game and cover this spread, San Antonio seems to be locked in for the 10th spot and most likely will face the Pels in the play-in. While the Warriors need this one to solidify their hold on the 3rd spot.

[MK-74]

My pick for tonight.

Los Angeles Clippers(-10,5) vs Sacramento Kings = 1,71 odds

Los Angeles Clippers will win this game very easily.
Sacramento has been losing for the last two games. ( Golden State -19, New Orleans -14)

Los Angeles Clippers Injuries;
 - Kawhi Leonard will be back on 12 April
 - Jason Preston will be back on 20 April

Sacramento Kings Injuries;
 - Alex Len will be back on 10 April
 - Domantas Sabonis will be back on 10 April
 - De'Aaron Fox will be back on 10 April
 - Terence Davis will be back on 1 May

[ralle14]

I'm also taking a small punt on the Clippers -11.5 @2.00 (boosted odds), Kings' recent losses these past couple of weeks went over double digits and I think the Clippers will do the same later today even though there's nothing to play for.

Only going for a small stake since the seedings are pretty much locked in for most teams at this point.

[Dave1]

Put my live bet on the Bulls +16.5 at a still very attractive odds of 1.98.

Lucky! You predicted it at the exact amount. Nice. Cheers!

Hah, barely made it, Bulls though is a disappointment in their last 10 games.

Was able to get the -6.5 for the Warriors as well, although the Spurs was able to stay and keep up with them, they are now on a 8 point cushion and this could balloon entering 3rd quarter which I think where the Warriors are going to pull and have a good separation.

Perfect for you!
Bro, I should've taken that +6.5 instead of +5.5. Could've got a perfect night too if I followed my instincts. Got too greedy again. 2/3.

Thank you guys for the picks. I really had a bad headache last night that's why I had a problem making decisions. Again, I appreciate you all here for sharing it.
Grizzlies using their stars at the near end of the season. That was surprising as I thought they will just rest them. Ja Morant smoking hot, he is ready.

Spurs managed to keep close and end the game with only 6 point deficit,

It was a failed pull over from GSW they unable to make a decent gap and just let the Spurs to keep nearing them,
Not for you today Dave1. there are many interesting games to assess tomorrow, more on positioning might be another
tough to predict as to how the outcome of today's games.

My early pick. .. I got Spurs ML and Clippers -11.5

1-1.. Got the Clippers but lose to the Spurs, should have bet on the spread only. 

Anyway, I have some early picks again,

Dallas (-10.5), and Clippers (-10.5).


@ralle14, same pick, good luck to us.

Honestly, I don't feel betting now that the season is about to end, the game could be more unpredictable but based on my observation, the favorites in the betting would usually win and cover the spread because probably they want to bring that momentum in the playoffs or the play-in. So with that said, I would like to say good luck to you because you choose the heavy favorite.

[danherbias07]

15 games. Wow.
Nuggets -10.5 vs Lakers.
Trail Blazers +18.5 vs Utah Jazz
These two teams are at a tied score. If the Jazz lose and the Nuggets win, Jazz will be up against the Warriors while the Nuggets will be vs Mavs. Kind of exciting.
Oh, but what if the Mavs win and the Warriors lose which also ties their score? I think the rankings will also change.
Anyway, those are my two picks out of many.  I have one more bet for whoever can watch all these games full from 1st to 4th quarter. Not the highlights.
You need 6 pairs of eyes for the 9:30 AM game GMT +8.  Just kidding. Good luck guys.

Here is the result for Recent games,


Philadelphia 76ers VS  Indiana Pacers SCORE 133-120 - WIN

Tyrese Haliburton has 19 points and Oshae Brissett has 20 points but it was not enough with James Harden's double-double of 14 Assist and 22 points while Joel Embiid has 20 rebounds and 41 points double-double pretty much from start to finish the Philadelphia 76ers have gained the upper hand and the match was very one-sided.


Memphis Grizzlies VS New Orleans Pelicans SCORE  - 141-114 - WIN

Ja Morant has played the game and the game from start to finish the Grizzlies were in the lead, and it was a one-sided game again, Pelican's Willy Hernangomez has a double-double performance of 10 rebounds and 15 points while CJ McCollum was in the lead score of 16 points but was not enough with Brandon Clarke of 20 points, Ja Morant's 21 Points and Dillon Brooks lead of 23 points and a comendable performance of Steven Adams 11 rebounds most of the players of the Grizzlies have double-digit points and winning the game against the Pelican.


San Antonio Spurs VS Golden State Warriors SCORE  - 94-100 - WIN

Another one-sided game from start to finish, the Golden State Warriors had to lead the game, Tre Jones have 15 points while Lonnie Walker of 24 points but yes it was not enough because the Warriors' Draymond Green has a double-double performance of 13 rebounds and 12 points while both Jonathan Kuminga and Jordan Poole has 18 points both leading the game points for the Warriors.

This is tough since you don't know who will be playing and for how long.  But I'm taking the Nuggets-10 against the Lakers.  After this season and the way its gone I can see them packed up and ready for the off-season, nugs should shred them.  Then I will take the Suns-10.  Again they don't have anything to play for other than the tune up but I can see them in a blowout as well.  Good luck everyone bring on the playoffs!!

I guess a team playing against the Lakers is good to back now, especially the Nuggets who have been consistent so far, they'll sure dominate the Lakers who are playing without their superstars, so I'm riding with the Nuggets pick and not going to touch the Suns game. Jokic is questionable, hopefully he'll play.

[MK-74]

My picks for tonight.

Portland Trail Blazers vs Utah Jazz(-15,5) = 1,60 odds

I think Utah Jazz will win tonight.



New York Knicks vs Toronto Raptors = 1,81 odds

I think Toronto Raptors will win tonight. Toronto plays the game better than New York.
I will bet separately for these two games.

Good luck everyone.

The play-in games in the East are set, but whoever gets the second seed may face the most difficult opponent of all in the first round, and that's BKN.

Nets win. Pre-tip scenarios for Boston in Memphis:

* Celtics win: No. 2 seed, host winner of (8.) Cavs vs (7) Nets play-in

* Celtics lose and …

Philadelphia wins: No. 4 seed, host (5) Toronto

Philadelphia loses: No. 3 seed, host (6) Chicago

I've locked my prop on the Celtics/Memphis game, Grizz gonna play their bench whilst Celtics have all their starters available, still not sure if they really want to play Nets in the first round...

∆ J. Tatum 20+ pts / J. Brown 20+ pts / J. Tatum 3+ assists @1.97 ∆ X

Tatum 20+ pts in 9/L10
Brown 20+ pts in 10/L10
Tatum 3+ ast in 10/L10

Hope nobody had any props on Jrue Holiday today:  

Jrue Holiday commits a foul 8 seconds into the game and is subbed out. He is all smiles. $306K in his pocket on the #Bucks bench.

Player incentives in the final week of NFL are super fun to bet on, not so much in the NBA. I think Harkorede had a bet on Draymond Green a while back, the night Curry set the 3pt record, he also played a few seconds only.
