NBA 2024-2025 betting

[Beparanf]

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 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.

Surprisingly, Al horford and Marcus Smart is already in the game destroying Heat with 25pts lead on the 2nd half. Jayson Tatum is very strong when this 2 player is available because of the assist, rebound and score they contribute to help Tatum to get space and conserve his energy until the last quarter.

It's hard for Heat to recover at that huge lead and strong Boston right now but I hope for the success of your bet.

It's hard for Heat to recover at that huge lead and strong Boston right now but I hope for the success of your bet.

Even though there's still another half remaining I agree with you, it seems unlikely for the Heat could claw their way back when the Celtics' shooting percentage is close to 60% and half of those shots are three-pointers.

It's probably safe to say the Celtics got this win in the bag unless the Heat goes on a crazy 3rd quarter run similar to game 1.

[Harkorede]

Celtics are in a beast mode, with 25 points in the first half alone, being double digits down in the in the first half but still won the quarter by 11 points.

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.

The Under doesn't look really good right now, it's currently at 220.5 at half-time from what was 207.5 before the game, but being close to be a blowout win for the Celtics could help keep it under if they're not fast game as they did in the fist half.

My props doesn't look too good too, Oladipo with 0 points 0/2 attempts, but Robert Williams with 5 points already could help me get even, however he might get a very limited time in the 2nd half if the Heat are unable to make a run to keep it close in the 3rd Q.

Edit: Finished 1 of 2 with my bet tonight, Williams didn't play much in the 3rd Q and start out 4th Quarter but thanks to Erik Spoelstra for keeping Oladipo in the game even after emptying his bench and he finished with 14 points.

[YuginKadoya]

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.

Wait and that is what I have done, thanks to both suggestions, and there is a little something for you guys, Marcus Smarts was very effective in the game, and this is a Boston Celtics comeback, they really prove that they can be very defensively and have proven to stop Jimmy Butler, and 3 guys from the Boston Celtics have score 20 plus points on the game, Sorry on @danherbias07 lost, the Miami Heat doesn't have the swag just like what they have in the 1st game,


Miami Heat VS Boston Celtics (Game Tied 1 - 1) - WIN

The Return of Marcus Smarts has proven how effective he can be of use both Defensively and offensively, the game balance for the Boston Celtics has changed tremendously controlling the game so much that Jimmy Butler just only makes 29 points while both Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo have had 14 points, and the Boston Celtics have a tremendous comeback of Jaylen Brown with 24 points Marcus Smarts has a double-double performance of 12 Assist and 24 points  and Jayton Tatum with 27 points, making a comeback game win for the Boston Celtics,

Good one!
I didn't expect the impact Smart and Horford could provide when they are playing. That was a hell of a shock for the Miami Heat and they couldn't react to the sudden change.
1/2 for me as I also took the bet for the over 205.5. Luckily it hit and more.
Now the Heat needs to steal one game in Celtics' homecourt. The big question is when? Game 3  or 4. It made the series more entertaining for us. I bet the spreads will also change drastically after that blowout game.

They need to if they want to make this a long series.

The odds are already out, Bostin is now -6 on their home court, but I would still not gonna bite it right away, this series is going to be a long one and I'm pretty sure that Miami Heat is also making a plan to do the right adjustment in game 3.

[Jating]

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,

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.

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.

And this is what happened here, Smart come back and make it tough for Jimmy Butler. And if could the trend this series, until Jimmy's become aggressive again in game 3.

Happy that I bet on my instinct thinking that this will be not be the same Celtics that will appear in game 2. They almost played perfectly.

Next game I have Dallas +6.5.

[Vaculin]

Next game I have Dallas +6.5.

This is a sharp bet. Everyone is on the Warriors in game 2, even myself felt that Warriors would easily beat the Mavericks in game 2, but my mind says that what if it's another trap, so I'll probably go with you mate, no looking back now.

Sometimes public wins, and personally, after seeing how the Warriors played in game 1, I think it would not be hard for them to repeat the same dominant win. Curry and Thompson do not start strong in this game, but Poole really is a big x factor of the team as he can always make a big contribution for the win.

In terms of offense Poole really gives great contribution to Warriors, but the defense of Wiggins and the

rest who are taking Luka brings the gap in game 1. If they will continue to give Luka a hard time, if they will continue also that
good rotations, covering the handicap is very much possible for fans and believers. It's just a matter of how you trust your
team before you put your bet,.

I hope that @YuginKadoya managed to put some bets on the Celtics because Al Horford and Marcus Smart was there playing alongside Jayson Tatum. These 3 players stated did good and impressive play on the 2nd game against the Miami Heat, they just got defeated on the 1st game because Jimmy Butler was playing easy as the defensive player of Celtics wasn't there.

[freedomgo]

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.

That's Jimmy Butler right there, grabbing 9 rebounds and contributed 41 points for playing 41 minutes on the court. The Celtics have been also good on their defensive strategy but they can't deny that they are not that anymore hard to pass through because Marcus Smart and Al Horford wasn't there to help Jayson Tatum. Nevertheless, I can see that the Miami Heat would still own the Game 1 even if those said names on Celtic's said were present.

Celtics got the 1st half, while Heat come back by outscoring the Celtics in the 3rd quarter. That doesn't happen all the time, so I guess if Horford and Smart were their, they'll be able to help on the defensive end, and that game would be a close one although Heat could still win it.

Yes they did got the 1st half but it wasn't a good run still and when the 3rd quarter began, they just cannot bear the huge difference because they really lack when it comes on defense strategy and Jayson Tatum cannot carry that burden alone while transitioning on the offense. Even they got a good chase on the 4th quarter, they cannot still keep up because of the huge score that the Heat made on 3rd quarter.

That's the spirit!   Although I am betting against it. Warriors -6.5.
But I am intrigued by how the Mavericks will be adjusting to this game. They don't need to go back to their homecourt to show it. Do it as fast as possible and shock the Warriors with how flexible they can be and their bench.
Expecting a close game in the first half but we know how magical the Warriors can be in the 2nd half. Splash brothers are still not showing their true performance yet.

No one expected this outcome they never thought that Marcus Smart and Al Horford's return would pretty much impact a lot for game 2 I just made a wild guess that the return of those two would change the playing field just a little and I really never imagine that they will have a big of an impact for this game, Marcus Smarts really controlled the game, that Jimmy Butler has stocked his score to 29, but I can not say for sure what may happen in-game 3 if Boston Celtics can continue playing like this or the Miami Heat will have a way in gaining momentum again in game 3, and you are right this is really getting more exciting as the game progress,

I hope that @YuginKadoya managed to put some bets on the Celtics because Al Horford and Marcus Smart was there playing alongside Jayson Tatum.

Thanks, I have managed to put some bets before the match started and that game really never lets me down, I thought that the game was going to be close but men the Boston Celtics really is firing up, and Marcus Smart really controlled the game, Miami Heat had so much turn over, that they didn't realize it at all,


Now, Here is my pick for the game that I have been waiting for and the team that I love to watch the most

Golden State Warriors VS Dallas Mavericks (Warriors Lead 1 - 0)

Stake odds for this game are 1.38 for the Warriors while 3.15 for the Mavericks Injuries for both teams are still the same, and going with the game I think the Dallas Mavericks will surely put their game up, but knowing the Warriors playing at home this could be a struggle for the Mavericks because this could be a repeated game like the game 1 the Golden State Warriors will surely win this one,

That's the thing, shock the Warriors, well, if they can do that, they will be the first team to beat the Warriors on their home court in the playoffs. It happened yesterday on the Celtics vs Heat game, Heat got their first loss at home in the playoffs, and not only a simple loss, but it's a blowout one.

Mavericks have already experienced a blowout loss before but they always respond with a blowout win as well. This series might be different though, so let's just see if the Mavericks will bounce back after a bad loss. I can see that the Warriors will just do the same strategy they employed in game 1, so it's up to the Mavericks now to make the right adjustment to make sure they'll win.

If they will surprise the Warriors today, then we should take the Mavericks ML. The current odds for Mavs is 3.10, that's very attractive if you really think Mavericks will be able to pull an upset on the Warriors' home court. I hope Luka's shoulder is okay, because they cannot win if Luka is not feeling 100% in this game since he is the main scorer, if he cannot move well, that would affect the production of the entire team.

I also have the Warriors at -6.5. It will still be the same formula, Wiggins to guard Luka early and make his work on defense. Then let him operate in his sweet spot at the left and then flank him when he goes inside. If he find the open team mate and they making shots then Warriors will adjust. If Mavs are going to shot poorly again, then maybe the Warriors can win in double digits and make it 2-0.

[wheelz1200]

When the crowd is heavily leaning one way I tend to go the other because books don't often lose but I have to lay on the Warriors here.  I don't see how the mavs compete on the road here.  Gonna need Brunson or someone to have an insane night just to compete, I don't see it.  Dubs -6.5 is my play here tonight.  Good luck all

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the Warriors more as well, I don't think this series would be like the same against Suns for the Mavericks, the Warriors have got so many facilitators, and it's going to take more than just a Luka Magic to get a win here, I however believe that Dallas Maverick might cover spread, even if they lose the game.

I'm think of going with the Under 214.5 because I think this might be another low scoring game.

EDIT: I got a prop on Max Kleber P+R+A Over 12.5 @ 1.76
