NBA 2023-2024 betting

Well , it seems the game began like the rest of the previous series ...with a defeat of Mavs. Now , can it be the same ? when Mavs turn this around and end up winning it ? I might say they will. Mavs deserves way more to reach the NBA final as this team really shines when they are all about teamwork and where Luka is having a giant night scoring 30+ points. Now , on the other side , GSW should be happy with what they achieved last night as the difference was kinda huge in the board and on the court...still ...I cheer for Mavs.

My first bet builder at Stake.com. It hurts. Oh, Steph Curry. Why?!

This is the problem when the game becomes a blowout in the early quarter. Player props may not able to hit their mark even if that's what is expected of them or you go even lower than it.
Cheers to all the winners who took the bet for the Warriors and may we all get more wins in the upcoming games.
Fun post-game analysis by TNT. Chuck is being bullied outside Chase Center.

Good luck to you mate, but sorry, the way I see in game 1, looks like GSW owned the Mavs in this series. Warriors are moving the ball very well, their defense are good and everyone was really contributing, the big surprise in this series is that Loonie has now an offensive threat.


By the way, game 2 tomorrow (Celtics vs Heat)
I got Celtics to cover the handicap.

[Questat]

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.

Mavericks snatching a win on the GSW's homecourt is unlikely to happen especially on Game 1 where most of the Warriors roster especially the Splash brothers are really used in their homecourt. But yes, this is just a speculation and only time will reveal which one of them will have a lead on the series.

You are right, it was a dominant win by the Warriors, they beat the Mavericks by 25 points, and it does not look good considering Mavericks were coming from a huge victory in the game 7 against the Suns. In game 2, let's see if they will make the right adjustment, and I hope Luka is not injured as he looks bothered on his shoulder.

[Pamadar]

I would say easy game for the Warriors tonight:



Not only did they limit Luka in the first game, but they put a defensive gem on their players. Brunson and Dinwiddie seems to can't find their grove because of the tight defense. While GSW starters all scored in double dights.

The defense is keeping doing good adjustment, limiting the scorers of Dallas to find an easy shot.

Warrior shows their dominance earlier, nothing that Dallas can do to stop them from hitting shots both outside and inside.
if Dallas won't be able to adjust and find the antidote with Warriors tight defense and solid offense, it would be a blowout for
the Warrior. Time for the East now. Home team heat still has the favorite ML @ 1.62 is good enough if you will place
decent amount of bet.

I really think the Mavericks were shut down by the Golden State in the 1st game, and I really think that they are surprised by what the Golden State Warriors can really do, to them, but I expect a real game in the 2nd game, the 1st game was just a warm-up and I could be wrong but the 2nd game could be a close one,


Now, here is my pick for tomorrow's game Conference Finals

Miami Heat VS Boston Celtics (Heat Leads 1 - 0)

Stake odds for this game are 1.62 for the Heat while 2.37 for the Celtics Right now Kyle Lowry can not play for the Heat until May 21, while Gabe Vincent and Max Strus are questionable if they can play for the Heat, and Sam Hauser, can not play for the Celtics until May 21, while Marcus Smart and Al Horford are questionable if they can play for the Celtics, from their first game Jimmy Butler played a Superstar level performance, while Bam Adebayo and P.J. Tucker done a great defensive game, but the Boston Celtics have played the game without Marcus Smarts and Al Horford if they can play a game against the Heat I think the Boston Celtic's defensive overall will surely rise but let's see and for this game, the Celtics is on the edge again, they can surely win even if they are not on their own court, but for this game, I will be going with the Boston Celtics, if Marcus Smarts, and Al Hoford can play that would be a good chance for the Celtics,

[Japinat]

I will be going with the Boston Celtics, if Marcus Smarts, and Al Hoford can play that would be a good chance for the Celtics,

Marcus Smart is probable, but Horford is still questionable.
I suggest you place your bet before the tip in, or to be safe, bet during the live game so you'll verify if these two will play or not.
Celtics are good as a team, but we cannot deny that they lack big time during the first game and that is because Smart and Horford did not play.

Yeah, that's the smartest thing to do if you are rooting for the Celtics. Marcus Smart has a high chance of playing, but Al Horford may not. Better just wait when they call the names or while warming up.

I am betting for the Miami Heat -4.5 so I don't need to wait. I think that should be enough to cover again if they can perform the same way they did in Game 1. Just keep the energy high in the defensive zone and don't let Tatum get his rhythm. He will go hot easy once they give him that opportunity.

Tatum and Brown, are the top 2 players of the Celtics, if both will have a good offensive night, then there's a possibility that they will win in game 2. However, it seemed like no one could stop Butler, he has a very efficient stats in game 1. He's 12-19, and on the defensive end, he has 4 steals and 2 blocks, this guy is an all-around player.

[wheelz1200]

I'm disregarding any analysis for now and won't be in my usual bettor mode.

I will just place my bet on the Dallas Mavericks regardless of the odds because I want to.

In the whole playoffs series, the Dallas Mavericks never won a Game 1 yet. I like them being an underdog for an odds boost. They might lose on this Game 1 but my bet is still for them. I'm really biased at Dallas Mavericks since then.

They got smoked.  Golden state on a home playoff game is tough to bet against.  Luka is gonna need a ton of help this series, not sure I can see how Dallas can come out of this series even if they take the next game.  Dubs are just too good at home.

I'm also thinking of betting on the Celtics in game two or at least the +3.5. It was just a performance by Butler in the first game, but definitely the Celtics saw what happened specially in the 3rd quarter. They had a good lead, but they just let the Heat takes over and they play sluggish in that stretch. And if Smart and Horford are going to play it might be a different outcome in game 2.

It was my understanding that Horford wouldn't be playing in Game 2, but may be back for Game 3.  I've also read that Marcus Smart will be back for Game 2, but will likely be playing with limited minutes as he is still not 100%.  With this information I'm tempted to say Miami will win, but you never know.  This is certainly their opportunity to build a lead before the Celtics are back to full strength.  So I guess if they can't win tonight, they probably aren't going to win the series.  I expect Miami will come out firing and looking to go up 2-0, but if Smart is back then it will be very different from Butler's 40-piece leading them to victory in game 1.

I think this might be a sweep honestly aswell. Goldenstate is much better in every possible way and i think Luka Doncic cant play alone in this series against them. Hopefully they can win at least at home to try and make things intresting against the Warriors

Yeah I want to lean that way but I thought the same against the Suns.  I will give Dallas the benefit of the doubt just not in Oakland.  They need to obviously be able to sneak a win on the road I just can't see it.  They don't match up well against GS like Memphis did.  Gon a need someone to really step into superstar shoes for Dallas to have a shot....and I mean someone other than Luka obviously..

Tonight gimme Jimmy and the Heat at home only laying 1.  Think I'm gonna hit each home team in this series so long as nothing wildly changes

Now we will see how the Celtics respond from the beatdown they took from the Heat in game 1.
I would imagine they will come out guns blazing but will walk away with the exact same results as the last time.
Only hope for Boston is if Horford and Smart come back in this series.
The odds are about the same from previous game a few days ago so the books are knowing that neither will be back in full minutes for tonight I am thinking.

[Baofeng]

I will be leaning towards the -1.5 handicap for the Heat in game 2. And this could turn into an ugly defensive game as both will try to lock in each players, Tatum (Boston), and Butler (Heat). So maybe a lot of fouls early and turning to be a very physical one. But both teams are build in this kind of game, but with the Heat's experience they can pull it off again, in a very contested game.

[morvillz7z]

Smart and Horford are back in the starting lineup for Boston (with no minutes restriction), but like you, i'm on the Heat train and will take them on the moneyline.

So far in the playoffs Heat at home are +113 points and 7 out of 7, quite literally blowing out teams with an average of 16 points. 

With the way they're playing, this may be their year! They have twice as better NetRtg as the Celtics and Golden State, and they're also the only team to keep their opponents under 100 ppg in the playoffs (98.3). "Defense wins championships," as the saying goes.

...now watch them flop and lose homecourt. 

[Harkorede]

I believe it's going to be an entirely different game from what we witnessed in game, Al Horford is cleared to play game which was unexpected before, and Marcus Smart is likely going to play too. I guess that's why the line is different from game 1's

I think it's gonna be another win for Heat, but I won't be putting any money on that.

I don't find the Over 207.5 spread not so convincing either, even it hit effortlessly in game 1 but instead I'll be taking a few props on Robert Williams and Victor Oladipo

Robert Williams: Over 8.5 points @ 2.05

Victor Oladipo: Over 7.5 points @ 1.87

GL!

I hope it's still the same though but with both Horford and Smart ready to play the moneyline did shift from 1.6 to 1.85 and the spread went from -3.5 to -1.5.

I already took Miami -3.5 earlier today hoping one of the two players won't play but I still prefer Miami at this point it just sucks that I could've gotten better odds if I waited until near tip off.

[Dave1]

I did go on the under score, but it seems that the Celtics is shooting high percentage already. 9 out of 11 in the three point area, leading by 11 points in the first quarter.

I'll probably do some live betting after the second half, will wait and see how the Miami will settle down. Maybe this will be a repeat of the first game wherein they made a huge rally to win big.
