NBA 2023-2024 betting

I’m seeing odds of MIA -1.5 with an implied final score I’d Boston 101 - Miami 102.5. I have no idea who will win, but I tend to think Boston has a small advantage. It will be interesting to see how game 1 goes. I think a lot of my opinion will come from seeking how the game goes. In my opinion, Bam Adebayo is going to play a large role in the series. If he’s able to shut down the Celtics in the lane, I think Miami has a good shot. On the other side, if Al Horford can keep the chip on his shoulder and have a couple good games, the Celtics will be difficult to stop.

Both Marcus Smart and Al Horford are out of game 1, Al Horford is said to be under health and safety protocol, I don't know how many games he'd miss for that and really I also don't think Robert Williams is 100% fit for the game either.

I guess with that I would go with Heat to win game 1, although I still believe in a close game here.

[rdbase]

Miami Heat for the first win -3.5. Homecourt advantage and to shock the Celtics how better their defense is than the Bucks.
I wish no players will be nervous and show a shitty game so that it will be more entertaining.
A lot of players are questionable to play for the Heat but I don't think they will miss this important game to have the first blood and be in front. Every game win will be a step closer to the Finals so they better give it all out.
Kyle Lowry is still not able to play.
Good luck everyone.

No Lowry tonite will be tough for Miami since he has playoff experience with his former team.
Have enough confidence in Bulter, Herro and Adebayo to get game 1 done on home court.
Celtics just destroyed last years champions in their last game so hope their not on a roll going into this Heat matchup.
They do play at another level in the playoffs as we all know.

I'm taking Miami-3.5 at home and nabbing the under.  Think it's gonna be a tight game with key injuries on both sides.  Just like Jimmy at home for game one

Probably the next game as well, because it's Thursday, and i don't think he can clear it in two days. Who gets tested these days, by the way? The NBA should probably revise/rethink its safety protocols. I saw a picture of Horford in a huddle with his teammates earlier today, no masks, etc...so what's the point? They should scrap those protocols for the remainder of the postseason, it sucks losing a key guy for a game, or even two...and besides almost all players are vaxxed now.

I'm also going with Miami spread since they're playing at home and the Celtics barely had much rest after taking down the Bucks a few days ago. I was already leaning on Miami before Smart and Horford got ruled out on the side of the Celtics so things will probably get easier for Miami, I just hope the game doesn't end up close though.

No Lowry tonite will be tough for Miami since he has playoff experience with his former team.

I honestly think that it's a plus for Miami to have Lowry out for now since they didn't have much success when he played against the Sixers.

I think we should remove Kyle Lowry from our future analysis of whether he will play or not because the Miami Heat's journey this playoff is played without him at most games. Our reference should now focus on those players that Miami Heat has during the entire playoffs.

2 of the Boston Celtics' good role players are probably out in tonight's game and although should not be a big problem for the Celtics, it still contributes to their disadvantages. Miami Heat will probably take the Game 1 lead although the current Celtics are really hard to match as their bench players are also improved.

∆ M. Strus 14+ PR / J. Butler 1+ steal / Bam 2+ assists @2.02 ∆  X

Strus 14+ PR, he had two excellent games for Miami to close up the Philly series, back to back double-doubles in points and rebounds.

I've been riding with J. Butler 1+ steals almost the entire postseason and don't see why i should stop now. Celtics down a playmaker for game 1 should help.

Bam struggled quite a bit against Embiid, but today he gets Williams and Theis, a lot easier matchup imo. Bam is coming off two games without recording a single assist. I believe he gets several today, he had eight assists the last time these two teams faced off.

Considering laying down a few Satoshis on the Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics game. I kind of expect this to be a pretty hard fought series and I feel like these teams are pretty evenly matched. I kind of like the Miami Heat at -4.5 points. Since the teams in my opinion seem pretty evenly matched I think the edge goes to the home team. But I would not be surprised to see this go either way.

What a good start by the Celtics though, they lead at the half now. But it's now over, I think the Miami Heat can overcome the Celtics because it is just a 8 point lead.

So I will probably go with the ML live beating for the Heat at 2.40.
They will going to push the tempo in the second half and not allow the Celtics to get 2nd chance points.

The Celtics defense has top notch so far in this game, and they seem to have figured something out against Heat, unlike when the played Bucks they depended more on the ball from behind arc, however they've been going to the paint for most of their points so far. It's still a recoverable lead for the Celtics, but if they are able to continue with such an impressive defense in the 2nd half, then I'm afraid that they'll not lose this game.

Looks like my bet over 203.5 would hit, except there is an extremely low scoring 2nd half (below 88 points).

[wheelz1200]

Jimmy at home didn't disappoint, 40 piece for game one.  3rd quarter they destroyed the celts.  Just one game and I expect a tough back and forth series here.  This could be one of those series that each home team wins out.  Good game 1 so far.

Heat didn't disappoint me at there homecourt. There is a lot of crucial steal by Butler on the 3rd quarter that gives the momentum to Heat to increase the gap. Boston let the Heat give them huge lead by giving so many turnover and miss shot. I think only free throw points is additional points on the 3rd quarter. Incomplete line-up of Boston always result on this kind of lose in every game 1.

Slow start for the Heat but the 2nd half was something.
I saw one tweet asking "What did Coach Spo say at halftime to make them change that much?" Hilarious! 
3/4

Oh, Tucker! Just one more assist or rebound and it could've been perfect.
The defense of the Heat was extremely impressive and this is what I said from the start, they are different compared to the Bucks when it comes to the defensive end. Good game.

Good bet on the Heat the second half. Yeah, it was a slow start for them as the pick and roll was working for the Celtics early with Williams scoring like 10-12 points inside.

But when 3rd quarter comes, it was a total different Heat, Butler, shutdown Tatum, on the other hand, Tatum can't guard Butler one on one. Steals, block shots and 3 point shot was their main weapon in the 3rd to make the huge comeback and then taking the lead.

Great catch during the live game, the odd is sweet and Miami didn't disappoint every bettor who believe that they can turn things

to their favor, whatever coach Spo told them it's very effective, they play both defense and offense the way it should be. This win gives

them the advantage, but they still need to win 3 more to advance to the NBA finals.

Tomorrow's game will be between GSW and Mavs. Would it have the same home court win or Mavs will snatch game one and take

the early series advantage?

That's too far from celebrating that the Heat will win, just like the Bucks series, Celtics loss game 1 but they were still able to win in the series.
It's just that Celtics are undermanned in game 1, but as soon as Smart and Horford will be back, things will get better for them.

Tomorrow's game will be between GSW and Mavs. Would it have the same home court win or Mavs will snatch game one and take

the early series advantage?

This remains to be seen though, but I like the Warriors to win the series, they are now the favorites so I'll go with the line set by the bookies.

You win! a high scoring 2nd half, thanks to the big effort of Miami, they adjust and dominate.

Giving them the first blood in this series as expected, they started with good defense and finished it with their usual attacks,
simple and plain, the players are just doing their part and let the ball move according to how they'll find the right takers
and score. Congrats to all those bettors who won today, for those who lose, still a lot of games time to do deeper analysis.

Yeah I was sweating there a bit in the first half after laying a few Satoshis down on the Miami Heat, but I tried to stay positive and it certainly ended up well in my favor in the second half where the Heat and in particular Jimmy Butler took over. That guy was just phenomenal in this game. Now we will see if he can keep it up!

Jimmy Buckets, made buckets in the game, and the Celtics know who to limit for them to win, however, it's not that easy because Heat is still unbeatable at home, and game 2 would still be tough for the Celtics even though Smart and Horford might be back.
