NBA 2023-2024 betting

This is what I meant because regular games is really different compared to the pressure of play-in and playing in the playoffs and the Hawks have already that experience so it's quite easy for them to dominate the young Hornets. Against the Cleveland Cavs, I'm still going with the Hawks.

On a contrary, I will go with the Cavaliers here and expect goods for them as an underdog.

I also like the chances of the Cavaliers against the Hawks. They have a good size advantage and hopefully they will not let the Hawks takes an early lead just like they did on the Nets game.

Just make it close or even they themselves take a good lead at their home court. And if the pattern holds true, (home team wins), then they have a good chance against the streaking Hawks.

I will stick with the pattern, and yes I like the Cavaliers here because they are playing at home. Bookies understands their chances that's why they are only +2 now, hopefully they'll not panic in this play-in due to lack of experience.

Even the ML is too good, at 2.x odd. So with this kind of odds, it's a good bet to put in this game. Maybe the pattern will stretch out and remain true. If that happens then it's going to be a good win for us.

Cavaliers lacks experience, but base on the 1st game, they can still pull out a win, they just have to know how to play with their strengths and good defense.

I managed to hit all 3 of my bets yesterday. Cavs with the spread. Nets to win outright. Then a multi-bet with the Nets and Wolves winning. I’m not sure who I’ll take today. Maybe the Hornets with the spread and the Pelicans to win outright. I feel pretty good about the Pelicans being able to beat the Spurs, but the Hornets game could really go either way in my opinion. I feel like the Hornets have a pretty good chance to cover the spread though as long as their young guys don’t choke under pressure. I don’t think they will.

Cheers to you then. I didn't win anything at all at those games. Got to get it back now.
I believe the Spurs could win this against the Pelicans. They are struggling and it was the McCollum trade that made it possible for them to enter the play-in. Spurs on the other hand had won 3 of their 4 meeting against this team. Ingram's status is out but noted as probable.
Spurs +5.5

On the other side, I am betting for the Atlanta Hawks -5.5. Good luck to all.

Atlanta Hawks was a cool bet for us, as if we have seen that they can cover the spread and that's what they did and have some for spare.

That was too easy for the Hawks, they dominated the whole game and if you bet on them, you won't feel the thrill while watching because you already know your bet will win, that's what you called "easy money". Anyway, they'll be up next against the Cavaliers, I think they'll still dominate seeing how the Nets dominated the Cavaliers too.

At least when we see the game, we know that the chance of our bet to win is huge. 

So I might stick with them on the road, again Trae Young doesn't flap and will show Garland who is the top point guard here. Young knows the gravity of this kind of game and seems to be raising up every stake with his performance. So I will stick with the Hawks, -2.5.

The betting lines exist for a reason, in reality, you just have to choose the right side in order to win, and unfortunately, no one could determine which team will win so the huge chance that we think is only based on our personal opinion, it doesn't guarantee anything.

Take note that this is a play-in tournament bracket so usually underdog team can show an opposite result than expected since the match is a win or go home game only. A small mistake for Atlanta will result to a terrible loss. If I were you, I will wait for the second half to finish then bet live. Don’t be tempted on the prematch odds because that’s what bookmaker like if  the game result is an upset match.

Not all the time, pre-match usually gets more bets compared to live betting. If you are betting on the Hawks and they lead by 20 points in the first half, then you'll not be able to put your bet anymore unless you will take the high point spread.

Los Angeles Clippers VS New Orleans Pelicans

-snip-

It will be PG vs CJ.. They have faced each other already in the playoffs before but on a different team, the time CJ was with Blazers while PG was with the OKC. Now with different teams, let's see which team will advance in the playoffs, Clippers have the edge because of the home-court advantage, but it should not be an easy task for them to see how the Pelicans are playing with great chemistry.

Adjustment is necessary, PG is a good scorer but they should not rely heavily on him, ball movement is still very important as this Clippers team are full of talent that could contribute anytime.

Well you got a point, CJ McCollum on the Spurs games really pushes beyond expectation and has got a win over the Spurs, and this win is not by himself but with the Aid of his teammates Jonas Valanciunas has a double-double and Brandon Ingram did well so there sure is chemistry within the team, but CJ McCollum lives in the shadow of Damian Lillard, back when he was in Portland Trailblazer and right now after hitting a transfer to the Pelicans CJ McCollum is taking this break to make a career-high right now, but I would never underestimate Paul George, but as I have said a one-man army will not win over a team play, I may change my pick but will further look at this when the game starts,

Even the ML is too good, at 2.x odd. So with this kind of odds, it's a good bet to put in this game. Maybe the pattern will stretch out and remain true. If that happens then it's going to be a good win for us.

Cavaliers lacks experience, but base on the 1st game, they can still pull out a win, they just have to know how to play with their strengths and good defense.

I really doubt the Cavaliers could put on a good show tomorrow with the Atlanta Hawks as their opponent they will be having trouble in my opinion back when they are playing against the Nets it was a very one-sided game so with this Atlanta Hawks game I think this is the same as the Nets and will be a difficult one for the Cavaliers.

At least when we see the game, we know that the chance of our bet to win is huge. 

So I might stick with them on the road, again Trae Young doesn't flap and will show Garland who is the top point guard here. Young knows the gravity of this kind of game and seems to be raising up every stake with his performance. So I will stick with the Hawks, -2.5.

I am sticking with the Hawks with this game aswell, against the Cavaliers that are pretty much not capable at all, with their 2 out of season players and pretty much their offensive and defensive are on low right now, and Jarrett Allen is their only option to strive but he is in question if he can play because of his finger injury, but Trae Young will sure deal with the Cavaliers and yeah this could be another one-sided game if Cavaliers would only be reliable on Jarrett Allen.

[danherbias07]

It's obvious that the Spurs team is very young, and doesn't have any playoff or play-in experience under their belt, they have to earn it the hard way by facing it right now. Hawks on the other hand was too much, but against the Cavs, I don't see any big game leads, but still the Hawks are going to end the winner against the Cavs in the next game, -2.5.

You think? I am having a hard time choosing but my instinct is lurking mostly with betting for the Cavaliers. The game is too early so I need to cast my bet later or I won't be able to catch the game.
Spreads are too close with just +2 and -2 and the same goes for Clippers vs Pelicans. Ingram has a lot of skill set and with CJ around everything became easier for him. I am thinking only short runs will happen unless a star will be off-night.
How about the others, what's your pick? Maybe it can help to decide.

If you wait for the live game, you might not have that chance to take a good odd with your favorite team once they start
dominating and they've got an early lead, unless just what you mentioned, you are willing to take that big handicap. The risk
is too high and the chance of the opposing team to rally back is another thing that you need to consider.

if you think that your team is a slow starter and good finisher, then it is suitable for live betting as you'll certainly get better odds than the pregame. There's a trend that you should follow and you need to spend time to master it, it's called sports investing where you'll win most of the time, opposite from the experience of regular bettors.

Los Angeles Clippers VS New Orleans Pelicans

Right now the losing team Clippers against the Timberwolves is facing against the team the Pelicans that won against the Spurs, Stake odds are 1.59 for the Clippers while 2.43 for the Pelicans, right now Jason Preston, and Kawhi Leonard can not play for the Clippers while Luke Kennard is questionable, and Zion Williamson can not play for the Pelicans, even though the Pelicans have won against the Spurs it is highly unlikely they will be winning against the Clippers, the Los Angeles Clipper have a close match against the Timberwolves and I think Paul George will likely to do against what he's done against the Timberwolves, so my pick will be the Clippers, and the last match against the Pelicans was a tremendous loss for the Pelicans with 19 points lead for the Clippers.

It will be PG vs CJ.. They have faced each other already in the playoffs before but on a different team, the time CJ was with Blazers while PG was with the OKC. Now with different teams, let's see which team will advance in the playoffs, Clippers have the edge because of the home-court advantage, but it should not be an easy task for them to see how the Pelicans are playing with great chemistry.

Adjustment is necessary, PG is a good scorer but they should not rely heavily on him, ball movement is still very important as this Clippers team are full of talent that could contribute anytime.

Both of them already got that experience as they have already faced in the past but yes in different set of uniforms, PG will be the main lead on the Clippers side as usual but I agree that they need to work on the ball more than relying on him to get the most scores because the Pelicans handles their ball good and passes to each player like we've seen when they make the Spurs struggle on their performance.

Clippers need to start strong and gain that confidence. Playing at home is one of their advantage the crowd's hope for them to take the

last slot for the playoff will surely be heard when playing. Those cheers should boost them up and feel more confident.

They should take  the early lead and maintain it till the last buzzer.

You mentioned those stars and they both have that playoff experienced not just once but more. They will be tested again to lift there

respective teams in winning the game.

Trae..

I'm with you on this one.  2 reasons:  Trae in these games knows how to get it done and flourishes and then capella.  Nobody on cavs can body him down low.  Expecting 15-20 rebounds from Clint.  Heart says cavs brain says Hawks on this one.

Indeed, I agree about that. There's a big difference if you bet regularly without analyzing the data and taking some more steps to ensure your bets will go through, it is much more safer to bet on the live games because the odds will really go high or down depends on the game situation especially if there are some important players that are still questionable to play. Might be best and less risky to bet on live games, usually depends on the bettor too if where are they comfortable and the time they have.

[Harkorede]

Battle of the wills tonight between Atlanta Hawks and Cavaliers, I'm currently leaning towards backing the Hawks -1.5 which is the current spread, I wasn't aware of the initial line opening. It's going to be a game time decision for me if I'll be backing either side due to potential availability of few players (Allen, and/or Bogdanovic), but I've currently gone for the Over 223.5 .

[danherbias07]

Trae..

I'm with you on this one.  2 reasons:  Trae in these games knows how to get it done and flourishes and then capella.  Nobody on cavs can body him down low.  Expecting 15-20 rebounds from Clint.  Heart says cavs brain says Hawks on this one.

Erk. wheelz. Same dilemma.   But thanks for the short analysis about the Capella thing. Yes, I'll go Hawks too. Win or lose. It's a close spread so I guess it won't hurt at all even if the Hawks will fail to win this but I have high hopes they can.
Garland is what I am worried about most. If he goes in his zone it's difficult to stop him. But crap, Hawks -2.5. Let's go Trae.

In the other game, I'm with the Clippers -1.5. I may be able to watch this live. Good luck to everyone and I wish you also made up your decisions as I did.

Going on the same side fellas, the Hawks should get it done at home.
Trae Young is a real superstar, he does his thing best in the playoffs, so against a young Cavaliers team, I would never hesitate to bet the Hawks here.

About the Clips vs Pelicans game, I guess I'm betting on the road team, no PG should be a problem for the Clippers.

[ralle14]

I went with the Hawks -2.5 as well, even though the Hawks have been struggling on the road this season I still think they'll somehow come out on top since these guys are more experienced when it comes to the playoffs. On the other hand, it'll probably go down the wire given how the Cavs manage to keep it somewhat close against the Nets even though they were trailing by 20 at some point in the game. The over seems juicy given their head-to-head results but the unders are the trend so far in all four play in matches. Also leaning on the Clippers but i'll skip that one for now since PG is out and tbh they're still in a good position to win at home though.

[morvillz7z]

∆ D. Garland 20+ points / D. Garland 1+ steal / Cavs +11.5 @1.86 ∆ won


Truth be told, i don't have that many props i like today, both games could turn to be low-scoring, it's win or go home.

90% of the money are on the Hawks -2 spread, i wonder if that's not a good opportunity to fade the public...? Cavs will have the home-court advantage, J. Allen is back, Cavs if not for the 1Q vs. Nets actually didn't play that bad, and won all the other three quarters. Hawks coming into this game with a 16-25 away record (Cavs at home are 25-16).

Anyways, i'm going with D. Garland to score 20+ points and get at least one steal, if Cavs are to advance Garland has to be on his A-game, he is averaging almost 2 steals per game /L10, had two against Brooklyn as well. I've also added the biggest alt spread i could find @ +11.5, if not for anything else it should be a close one.

Clips game is so tough to judge.  With pg put it might be a fast paced high scoring game.  But who will the clips go to in crunch time.  Think ima lean on the Pelicans with cj and ingram getting it done.  Gonna be a game time decision for me.  Good luck everyone.

I'll go with the Hornets live betting, -8.5, Clippers suffered another major setback again, and it was Paul George not going to play or not playing in this game because of Covid, too back.

One of the most important game for them this season and another stream of bad luck for them. Clippers is down 10 in the half time and Hornets could increase the lead that's why I pick them with that handicap.

Congratulations if you place the bet for -2.5 Hawks. What a nice close game for both Cavs and Hawks. Trae Young is unstoppable on there match with a 38 points. Cavs slowly decrease there aggressiveness at the start of 2nd half until the end of the game, It seems they already control the game on the first half but Hawks bounce back and recover the gap and seal the game with there strong momentum. Clippers is in good condition too, They can give a close fight to Pelicans even without PG. Shame to PG that he is not protecting his health especially on this crucial match.
