NBA 2023-2024 betting

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my picks for today's game for the NBA Semifinals highlighted in green are my picks,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Miami Heat (Heat Leads 0 - 2)

Right now Stake.com's odds for this game can not be seen, because it was Suspended and the odds can not be seen on the stake site, but right now there is progress with 76er's injuries, right now Joel Embiid is questionable if he can play, and right now many are hype because they know that Joel Embiid is playing again, I guess the 76ers will not let the Heat prevail and win the third time, while the Heat has Kyle Lowry, P.J. Tucker, Caleb Martin, Gabe Vincent, Max Strus, and Tyler Herro questionable for the Heat if they can play, I truly believe in the return of Joel Embiid the 76ers will have a decent play right now, and they will not let another win for the Miami Heat so I am going with the 76ers this time.

Dallas Mavericks VS Phoenix Suns (Suns Leads 0 - 2)

Stake odds for this game are 1.94 for the Mavericks while 1.91 for the Suns, it seems a close odds this time, and right now the Mavericks have Tim Hardaway Jr. has a foot injury and can not play for this game right now, while the Suns have Dario Saric that has a knee injury and can not play for the Suns, that gameplay for Chris Paul he surely knows when to past and who he can count on to pass to make a play, CP3's decision in making plays are really remarkable and I am afraid this could be another win for the Phoenix Suns, so my pick will be the Suns.

Picks! Let's go!
Good news for 76ers fans.

Embiid (orbital) has cleared concussion protocols and participated in the team's morning shootaround ahead of Friday's Game 3 against the Hawks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

https://www.espn.ph/nba/team/injuries/_/name/phi/philadelphia-76ers
This type of news is like saying he will play but for those who want to make sure then you could wait before the game starts but I am positive the odds will suddenly shift when he is announced to play. As of checking Stake.com player props, he is listed so I think that's a green light. These bookies of ours gets news faster than the internet. 
76ers -1.5

Other game. Rooting for the Mavs -1.5. Badly need a win, let's see how they will surprise us with something new and not Doncic all the way.

[ralle14]

Somewhat confident in taking the Heat but i've reduced my stake after reading the announcement on Embiid, it seems like he's likely to play and if he does then they have a decent chance at getting a win given how they held against the Heat during the first two games. Even though the winning margin isn't close they still kept the lead somewhat close before losing steam mid-way through the game. It's a bit scary to bet heavily given how these home teams can potentially grab a win regardless of the beating they took on the road.

∆ T. Harris 20+ PRA / T. Herro 15+ PRA / J. Butler 1+ steal / D. Green 1+ 3pt @1.75 ∆  won

I've been waiting for J. Embiid's game availability literally all day, the game starts in 20, and still don't know if he will play or not HE'S GOOD TO GO! Lol

Lowry being back for Miami doesn't help me much with my props either. Anyways, here's what i cooked:

If Embiid wasn't playing i was just gonna smash Maxey's total points line, instead, i'm going with Harris 20+ PRA, he has covered the line in all eight playoffs games thus far. Tyler Herro has been excellent the first two games, don't think the 76ers will be able to slow him down. Also adding D. Green to make at least one 3-pointer, the last two home games against the Raptors he has made 7 3s, hope that streak continues.

[MK-74]

My pick for tonight.

Dallas Mavericks vs Phoenix Suns = Phoenix Suns win 2.10 odds

Phoenix Suns are stronger team than Dallas Mavericks. Phoenix Suns will win this game as well.
I think the odds are very good. I want to try my luck, maybe you guys would like to try too.


Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat = I will not take bet. Just my guess.


Good luck guys.

I really don't know if Embiid is 100% fit, but my guess is that, it's now or never for him if the 76ers are going to be able to make anything off this series, but he's in the starting lineup.

I'll take the Heat ML and Suns ML too, they're both of good values imo.

We got trapped on the Miami Heat vs Sixers game. We are waiting for news for Joel to play or not, so I just go ahead and bet early though.

And so he played, 30++ minutes, enough to bring confidence on the team again. Danny Green with his outside shooting and then Maxey with 21 and Joel 18 points.

[danherbias07]

Expected winners won their respective games. Perfect bet.

It was not a trap Dave. He was listed as cleared for concussions so that's very likely a sign that he will play. Plus, they need that win so bad.
Now both series became more interesting and even if it goes 3-1 we know there is still a chance to win it unlike being in a 3-0 deficit.

Danny Green with his outside shooting and then Maxey with 21 and Joel 18 points.

Been waiting for that type of Danny Green to return. He had been in bad numbers in the season and 1st round but now 7/9 threes.

[YuginKadoya]

Here is the result for today's game, I am pretty much Surprised with the results of the Phoenix Suns VS Dallas Mavericks but after watching the highlights I was pretty amaze, on how the 76ers and Mavericks gain a win over this teams,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Miami Heat (Heat Leads 1 - 2) SCORE 99 - 79 - WIN

Even though Joel Embiid is not at his 100% he sure done a lot of things to make the 76ers win the game he contribute a double-double performance for the team, that actually make them win, even though the Heat Jimmy Butler was super great that night having 33 points it was unfortunate because the Hear is not playing as a team, which the 76ers are now playing with Joel Embiid, and he got double-double of 11 rebounds 18 points, with Danny Green and Tyrese Maxey both have 21 points winning the game as a team,

Dallas Mavericks VS Phoenix Suns (Suns Leads 1 - 2) SCORE 103 - 94 - LOST

The Phoenix Suns, really needs a break, CP3 and Devin Booker is not quite performing very well, I think they need a break, but they still done a great job but it was not enough, Deandre Ayton having a double-double of 11 rebounds and 16 points, While Chris Paul has 12 points Devin Booker 18 points and Jae Crowder on 19 was not really enough against Mavericks double-double of Luka Doncic, that is 13 rebounds and 26 points, while Jalen Brunson have 18 points winning against an exhausted Suns,

Looks like he is not injured, though he doesn't produce like his usual number, but it's enough for the 76ers to intimidate the Heat in the paint as Embiid is their to do the defense. 76ers won, and the series is now exciting, much more if they'll even the series.

He is still injured but he can manage to play because the injury is in his face, he was wearing a mask to protect his injury and they did a great job in game 3 and they got the win. One more win and they'll even the series, and we will see a best of 3 in the following games.

Embiid maybe a little bit limited, but I'm sure in game 4 he will improve, or if not, it doesn't matter as long as they win.

Miami Heat will be tested on how they can win in crucial games like this. How to adjust, how to adapt and how every possession should be important. They have lesser turnovers than the 76ers but the 3-pt FG made the difference.

Game 3 for the other pair and Bucks vs Celtics will be starting in 2 hours+ upon writing this. Homecourt advantage for the Bucks and they may want to start hot to give their fans something to cheer on and come back the next game.
Bucks -2.5

-7.5 for the Warriors??? Ooh. That's something although Brooks is suspended for this game. No GP2. 
I'll cut 1 point so Warriors -6.5.

[morvillz7z]

∆ J. Brown 1+ steal / J. Holiday 1+ steal / G. Williams 1+ 3pt made @1.88 ∆ X

I'm sticking with what worked for me in gm 2, which was defense and 3s, only switching Horford to Grant Williams, the amount of time this dude was left wide open was absurd, 6/9 on 3s, a healthy 30+ minutes, and a team high +22 (+/-).

If you like, you can improve the odds of the above parlay by adding W. Matthews making 1+ 3pt to 2.40. He, like most role players, shoots better at home, 7/13 at 0.54 % (at home against the Bulls in the playoffs) vs. 4/15 at 0.27 % (on the road against the Bulls/Celtics).

Danny Green gives Embiid a lift not to force too much on his comeback,

A good shooting night creates a big difference. It's good to see Green to keep shooting the ball. He was the missing link
in both games 1 and 2, he mostly plays for defensive purposes.

But now, we see the old Danny Green who has a full confidence in taking shots after shots. Looking to see him playing
that same hype to preserves Embiid.

[Baofeng]

The game starts early at least in my timezone, so I have to do live betting.

So I go with the Bucks -4.5 at 1.94, and so it is 4th quarter now, down 6 minutes and they have a 7 point lead. So it's going to be a close match but the Bucks seems to be very comfortable at home. Giannis already with 35+ points already.

Edit: Bucks won, but didn't cover the spread of my bet.

[MK-74]

My bets last night lost.

I hope I win tonight.

My pick for tonight.

Golden State Warriors vs Memphis Grizzlies(+2,5) = First Quarter 1,77 odds

Golden State Warriors Injuries;
 - Andre Iguodala will be back on May 13
 - Gary Payton II will be back on June 2

Memphis Grizzlies Injuries;
 - Santi Aldama will be back on May 9
 - Killian Tillie will be back on May 9

I don't know, but I want to trust Memphis tonight.
Maybe they will win the first quarter. I will watch the game.

[ralle14]

Edit: Bucks won, but didn't cover the spread of my bet.

Same here my bet lost by the hook as I had the pre-live handicap which was at -2.5. 

I took the under 225.5 on the Warriors since all of the game threes have gone under so I expect this one to end the same way as well plus in game 2 the total also went under.

I still think the Warriors should win by double digits but i'm more confident on the under than the handicap since the games have been slowing down these past couple of days.

[Harkorede]

I've had series of back to back losses in the last couple of games tbh after such great start to the post season.

Kuminga is starting for Warriors today so I believe he'll be getting some minutes more on the floor with GP's absence, I saw a bookie offering him Over 6.5 Points @ 1.86, I just had to take it, lol.

I hope I don't regret it  




Tbh, I also feel like putting a bit on the Grizzlies ML @ 3.40, but these kids be too playful and can't even hold on to any tangible lead they build in game down the stretch, and I'd have love them to take a win here to make the series rather more interesting.

EDIT:

Kuminga with 4 already in the first few minutes, looking like a steal bet already  

Speaking of which, I got one win in early enough, Grizzlies to lead by 12 points or more at any point of the game @ 3.40, glad they had a great start and covered just before 6 minutes, but they're beginning to choke, as usual.

[Dave1]

I guess for those who bet on the Warriors with the handicap, it gave us some panic in the first quarter with the way Memphis shoots the ball.

But I didn't see Steve Kerr calling a timeout and eventually allow them to compete. And so this is a big win by the Warriors as they just walk and the winner decided with still 2 minutes left. Hopefully though that Morant can still play next game we want this series to be a thriller.

Big win indeed. Steve Kerr does things that are unpredictable. He just let the team continue the game and do their jobs, I think he just doesn't want to ruin the fast pace of the game.
Andrew Wiggins did Payton II's job today and it felt exhausting as I watched him so I am giving him this win as the best player. 2 steals and 1 block. He shot the ball just 10 times and made 7 of it. He is more focused on defense which I think he is best at.

1/2. Bucks let go of a big lead and almost went to overtime. Sad.
