NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Harkorede]

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.

It was a pathetic show tbh, I guess going for the Under for players props' except for players in MVP race or so... I felt really bad Draymond couldn't grab 5 boards 😞, I also had one on Steven Adams in the match before the last in live bet, but he never even returned after they were getting blown out and I was short 5 on (pts+reb+ast).

[ralle14]

I went with these two picks for later today the first pick is Nuggets -8.5 and first half Jazz -9.5, both teams should win and likely cover the spread as these two teams still have something to play for. The Nuggets still have a chance to move up in the standings if they win and the Jazz lose but the chances are very low since the Jazz will be facing Portland and they just lost by 50 points against the Mavericks in their last game plus the Jazz have the edge when it comes to the tiebreakers.

The risks of player props. 

I suppose i should have gone with Obi Toppin instead of my Celtics combo (Brown short by 2pts in a blowout). Toppin had 42 points, which if i'm not mistaken is a career-high for him, Quickley with a monster triple-double 34p-10r-12a.

Miami low-key trying to give Haslem a heart attack by playing him for 20ish minutes, dude is like 50 years old Lol (almost 42).

Anyways, good luck to those betting on the Nuggets spread, they will be resting all of their starters, but there is a good chance they still cover, Lakers expected to give some G-League guys significant minutes in the second half is what i heard.

[Jating]

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.

Same here, the game is totally unpredictable as teams starters are being sit to rest and to prevent any injuries entering the playoff.

So I will just sit back and watch the game, but the problem is that there is too much games we have in hand. I have to go back in forth, now the Nuggets and Lakers game are about to end the second half. So yeah, best of luck to those who put a bet tonight.

Betting on prematch seems very dangerous these days. I’m not informed that Nuggets will already out there main players in the game. It sucks whenyou noticed it after you check the game result for today. Anyway most of the expected teams to win indeed win today especially Mavs and GSW. It's good to see the old Klay Thompson game come back again since this is crucial for there playoffs run. If Klay continue this explosive performance on Playoffs, I’m sure they can beat Suns easily with the complete line-up.

Only tough games are those teams struggling to get playoffs spot and those teams aiming for higher rankings to avoid tougher teams come playoffs. Teams that are contented on their spots most probably are resting their players especially the older ones and prone to injuries.

Now comes the eliminations. I think Nets and Timberwolves will both retain their ranks.

  

[danherbias07]

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.

They got careless. Coach Malone was furious for they let go of a lead that should have been sufficient to win the game. Austin Reaves made them pay and took it to overtime. Lakers are good when they are enjoying the game although that's also because Jokic took his rest.
That ends our season games.
Play-in tournament, here we go.
Nets vs Cavaliers - This will sure be fun as the expectations for the Nets came back when Kyrie played again and showed good stats after the bad debut on their homecourt. I might ride the hype for the Nets.

I also agree and I think that betting in pre-game is not a valid thing to do!

Now @Coin_trader, do you seriously imagine the Warriors can easily beat the Suns in playoffs? or WCF!!? Why do you imagine this!!?

Dangerous? I don't think so, most of the bettors put their money in the pre-game, so it does not validate the word dangerous. Besides, betting is risky, whether you put your bet on pre-game odds or and live betting odds because you can never know the outcome of the game.

In the last couple of games, I stay out of pre match betting because it just destroyed some of my parlays. That's why I just do live betting as much as I can, see how the teams are doing specially in the first two quarters. Mavs didn't rest Luka so obviously they have a good chance to win against the Spurs. But the Warriors is still good without Klay, as Jordan Poole putting a show.

[stadus]

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

Won on the Clippers game but lose to the Dallas game, just 0.5.
So that's the last game of the series, we have 1 day rest then we will proceed to the play-in tournament.

Early betting lines.

Nets -8 against Cavaliers
Clippers +2.5 against Wolves.

Of course, I will take the Nets, they will be playing at home and we know Irving and Durant play better when in the playoffs. They have the edge in terms of experience and this young Cavaliers might struggle in their first meeting. The spread only convinced me that Nets will win big time, at least 10 points in this particular game.

That’s the curse of -10.5 for yah. I usually hate choosing that handicap because team usually let it slide the lead when the score is exactly ahead by 10pts. Maybe this is a common thinking of rounding off. But 10pts is always the gap on most of the matches in NBA so I usually avoid -10.5 instead choose +10.5 if I know that the underdog team can match the strong team on the last quarter of the game. The play-in tournament is very crucial while the pre-match odds is not good for bettors. I will go for live bet this time with positive handicap.

I smell Suns fan boy miles away. Hehe. I’m assuming that GSW players will play in good condition especially Klay Thompson shooting skills. I remember they fight Suns without Curry and still manage to have a close fight when Klay thompson field goal percentage is high.

You are missing the context of the Dangerous on the point of discussion. You are generalizing your answer while you are interfering on the conversation. Atleast try to comprehend the context of your quoted post. I’m not saying placing pre-match bet in general is dangerous, I’m just trying to emphasize its danger on the last games of the regular season due to random absence of player in the roster.

On my side, I have the Spurs +10.5 so same boat with you, I thought that I may have lost my bet when the Mavs started to pull in the 3rd quarter by more than 10 points. And then the Spurs slowly getting back in the game, putting a good comeback in the 4th and manage to cut the lead to single digits and then eventually it was just a 10 point winning margin by the Dallas.

That's fine, these last few games were really unpredictable because we cannot be sure if their star players will play or not. But that's so close! Let's try our luck again on the 1st day of the play-in tournament as for sure teams will try hard to compete to have a spot in the playoffs.

I'll follow you on those bets, Nets -8.5 and LA Clippers +3 .. GL!

What a great luck, same with you. I am also in the impression that Mavs will pullover after that 3rd quarter run.

Good thing that Spurs didn't give up and continue to try cutting that lead, sad to say that Mavs
is more offensive and even coach continue to rotate players, whoever inside still providing and
doing their shares, they didn't give any chance for the Spurs to rally and win this game from them.

Same here, betting earlier on the games when the regular is on the last 2 days is a much more risky move as they likely decide that they will sit their superstar/star player in the last minute before the game starts. Betting on live will somehow reduce that risk as you can more analyze the game because you know who the players were and the situation. Well, the regular season is now over and tomorrow is the first day of the play-in tournament.

I got the Nets bet, this will be intense and they're playing on their home.

[Distinctin]

I got the Nets bet, this will be intense and they're playing on their home.

As the first day of play-in tournament starts, it is highly expected that these teams will give their best shot and for the case of the Nets vs Cavaliers, they will somehow come up with a plan to defeat each other to have an automatic seat in the league which is the 7th seed for their case.

For that, I'm also betting for the Nets -8.5. I have no doubt that they can manage to defeat the Cavs as they have a healthy star player, might be a close game but I know the spread will be covered somehow.

lol, I'm not a Suns fan, but I admit that, I would like to see the Suns being champion in this season, the team as a whole deserves this achievement

Well, imagining this situation you said, it may even be plausible, but the Warriors these days are not even close to the team they had a few years ago...
If the main players of the Suns are 100% healthy and intact against a possible game against the Warriors in the playoffs, I confess that it will be an interesting duel!
