NBA 2023-2024 betting

[gagux123]

Took the Celtics @1.66 since I don't think Butler would drop another 47 points even though there's always a possibility it's always tough to bet against the Celtics on the road throughout their last two series. My heart wants to see the Heat win here since they had the tougher time during this series while the Celtics looked like they were in control, they've performed much better during this series as some of their games have been decided by one dominant quarter then potentially leading to a blowout win.

I confess that I'm not feeling well in these conference finals! lol

The game is extremely balanced, and Butler is on fire! Incredible your performance in these playoffs!

Let's see how Butler and others players will perform in this final quarter of the game.

[danherbias07]

That was a heck of a game. Like watching the 80's. 
Low scoring (didn't hit the over 197.5), brutal defense, and officials not calling fouls even when bodies falling on the floor. I can say I love that Game 7.
Also lost the Miami Heat ML bet but I enjoyed watching it pretty well.
No hates to the Butler 3-point decision. The team recognized he should take that shot and they like what he did. I bet no one will want to be in that position except him.
Cheers to the winners and to the Boston Celtics.

guys, I will give a general answer here!

I also believe the Warriors are the favorites to win this season. I don't know, but I don't agree that the Warriors team today is better than last season when Durant was on the team. One point that I believe is decisive and that will make all the difference is the chemistry in the team... this season's Warriors are playing together, especially with Thompson's return...
This just shows that the Warriors have a great chance of being the champions.

Another important detail... GSW will be rested, because they beated the Mavericks in Game 5, while the Heat or Celtics will need to play Game 7 to know who will be the champion of the conference!
That is, both the Heat and the Celtics if they play the finals against the Warriors are tired and worn out (I know this is not something VERY relevant, but it can make a difference)

For the Celtics or Heat to beat the Warriors... Smart will need to be 100% healthy (or close to that), Tatum will need to be "on fire", Butler will need to be "on fire" and defending very well and the reserve players will need to play well and the whole team will need to be in chemistry (Celtics or Heat)

And maybe some Warriors player will need to get injured during the finals (I don't like to say that, but if that happens, the opposing team will have a great chance to win).... just look at the previous season between GSW vs Raptors

I surely think that the Warriors ultimately have the advantage here, I am not saying that the Warriors right now is more superior to the Warriors with Kevin Durant, but in my opinion, the difference between the Warriors then and now is all with their chemistry and most of their rookies are growing up into fine superstars, we can all see the growth of Jordan Poole, Kevon Looney, and Andrew Wiggins, for me I surely think the Golden State Warriors can take the championship this season, surely in this NBA finals, now that the Boston Celtics have won against the Miami Heat, the Warriors may not win with a sweep but they will surely become champion for this season,


Now that the Eastern Conference Finals was settled here is the result of today's game

Miami Heat VS Boston Celtics (Celtics Won) - WIN

It really is an interesting game while the score was surely close the Boston Celtics is keeping their close lead Kyle Lowly have 15 points, Bam Adebayo got a double-double performance of 11 rebounds and 25 points, and Jimmy "Buckets" Butler had 35 points for the Miami Heat but was not enough because Grant Williams has 11 points, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smarts both have 24 points, and Jayson Tatum have a double-double performance of 10 rebounds and 26 points and let's not forget Al Horford's efforts in making 14 rebounds and winning the game, it was a win for the Boston Celtics but I also feel sad about the lost on the Miami Heat, while Jimmy Butler was cruising out the arena, it really was a sad moment, and Bam Adebayo ripping his jersey because of frustration.

Same here, some of my losses during this series and the Bucks one made me feel somewhat confused.

Good thing the Celtics like to build up big leads and Stake lowered their promotion recently to 12 points and when Celtics made that solid lead after the first quarter it already locked my bet for the win. Props to the Heat for pushing the series and the last game closer than expected and pushing it down to a single possession during the final quarter.

He takes it as a real star and even he missed that shot, everyone does support his decision. I will understand if there are people who

will criticize that act, but he's the main man, and he has that capability to make that shot, just not lucky enough, but it's a good shot free enough

not being bothered by the defense. It's for the Boston and they will advance to the finals to meet the Warriors.

Time for another series to watch and place our bets..

[MMysterious]

I had Boston winning this match up too. I know Boston Celtics will come back stronger after their defeat at home where many of their fans were shocked and went home unhappy. In this last game the Celtics showed that they are the boss in the eastern conference. Miami Heat played solid and showed a good challenge. But the Celtic firepower is too much to handle.

Golden State Danny Green is right. They will play against the Celtics for the championship.

Yes, we are in the NBA Finals now, let's appreciate the effort of both teams, especially the heat because they never gave up, they fight until the end, it's just that the luck was not with them in that game. Warriors vs Celtics are destined to face in the NBA Finals, so yeah, let's start betting.

And for me, this is a better series compared to the Warriors/Heat. it's going to be an offensive battle as both teams love to shoot from the outside. I think  Wiggins will be having a hard time guarding Tatum here or Draymond might also help on the defense. I hope Looney will not change, he will have a tough match up inside, so let's see if he can continue his great performance in the WCF.

That is what I wanted to see, why call a foul if it's clear that there's nothing happened or the opposite player didn't mean to bump the opposite player. Also, it was an intense game and the referees cannot afford to call if ever it was a flop. Both teams have defended well but it's the Celtics who have those advantages, in-fact, the Celtics missed many important shots especially Marcus Smart. Luckily, he have a team mate who he can rely unlike the Heat that Jimmy Butler is the one who is carry and Bam, the others were not consistent.

I hope Looney will not change, he will have a tough match up inside, so let's see if he can continue his great performance in the WCF.

I believe Steve Kerr already have in mind who will guard Tatum, but the issue is that neither of his players were proven to limit and give Tatum a hard time. Surely the Warriors won't just give their attention to Tatum because Brown, Smart and Horford will be also a threat and these said players are also good in transition both offensive and in defensive.

However, the Warriors have an answer to that because they have a deadly big three now who can shoot deep threes or attacking the paint. Also, Gary Payton II is said to return in Game 1.

Yes, excellent observation!
I believe the reserve players are excited and inspired to play in these finals. I believe the GSW stars are the main motivators for this to happen.

I confess, the finals can be fierce, but the Warriors will play Game 7 at home and that could make a lot of difference!

Let's see how that young Celtics players will react to this

Yeah, I don't know, this season was a little different, not to mention weird.

I would never have imagined that the Lakers with that excellent team would be left out of the playofs. Nets were quickly eliminated from the playoffs, Phoenix Suns who were one of the possible to go to the conference finals, also missed out.

In my opinion this NBA season (regular season and playoffs) is totally unpredictable

Correct, refs got stricter and avoided soft calls, I loved it too. No one stepped up their game for the Heat except Butler who had been doing it at every win they make. Perhaps he will have the mindset to pass that ball if he saw someone going hot in the three or just having a good night, but none. Almost every player on their side is missing important shots too. Free shots, actually.

And for me, this is a better series compared to the Warriors/Heat. it's going to be an offensive battle as both teams love to shoot from the outside. I think  Wiggins will be having a hard time guarding Tatum here or Draymond might also help on the defense. I hope Looney will not change, he will have a tough match up inside, so let's see if he can continue his great performance in the WCF.

Yes, and the fact that most Heat players are also hurting, their injury status is always day-to-day or probable to play. This may be a better result as the Celtics have a healthier roster to avoid critics if ever any team won this Finals.
Hoping for a clean game.

[wheelz1200]

In the beginning of the playoffs klay Thompson was a 50-1 shot for winning the NBA finals mvp, doesn't look like a bad bet right now.  If the Warriors win it will very likely be because of steph or klays shooting.  Was gonna pull the trigger and never did, I thought Memphis was gonna beat the Warriors.  OH well.

Well, compared to the Dallas Mavericks the Boston Celtics has a defense that may crumble the Golden State Warrior's offense, but because of the additional Poole splash party and the inside paint that Wiggins and Looney provide I think the Warriors can have many options in getting the offense done, and surely I think this is the advantage of the Warriors as off now, their defense aswell is not lacking at all, in the 1st game on the Dallas Mavericks Luka Doncic only scored 20 points due to the Warriors defense, but with the Celtics, spread outscore it is not easy to say if who's going to really shoot the ball, I think this is something so great about this final game it is really exciting and I can not wait because the game will be on June 3 Friday, on our country,

Yeah, I don't know, this season was a little different, not to mention weird.

I think the case of the Lakers was very noticeable and teams like the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics have exposed them quite early most teams with defensive base players will surely expose teams like the Lakers and Nets that only have 2 to 1 big scorers, like the Boston Celtics sweep the Brooklyn Nets in the quarter-finals because the Nets is pretty much independent on Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving this exposes the vulnerability of the team, the Celtics know who's going to shoot the ball, easy as that,

Yeah, but Klay caught on fire against the Dallas series. But I still except the Steph will really bring his A-game in the finals and hopefully if they win it, he might be the MVP.

And not sure what the odds are for him to win, but it should be lower as compare to Klay. We will see then, Boston will be a big challenge for the Splash brothers because of the former's defense mentality.

Steph Curry is the favorite to win MVP and Klay at 5th with x16.90. I will bet for the 6th one as a shot to the moon.  Andrew Wiggins x29.90.
I always hear them say "this is his time" and what if this becomes like the Andre Iguodala MVP time. I just put a little bet on it, it won't hurt much of my wallet and I think it will be fun to cheer more for him being consistent in this last series.
x5.50 to guess the score of the series at 4-1. Attractive. Because that's my prediction.

Hmm... interesting your observations @YuginKadoya

I even believe this was an "atypical" season, because there were some unforeseen events that no one was imagining!

I'm really excited to hearing about the news and updates that some teams will be able to do in the next season!

I believe that some teams will be able to stand out even more compared with this season.

Let's see what will happen after these NBA Finals and what will be the attitude/reaction of the others teams towards with the next season

It will be a fitting ending for Klay this year if he snatches the MVP award from Curry. I guess Steph doesn't have a problem with that as long as they will raise the trophy again.

4-1 so most likely the same against the Mavs? win both at Chase center and then steal 1 at Boston and intentionally lose 1 and then cap up the year and celebrate the championship in their home court.

[danherbias07]

I will be cool with that too. But if ever Wiggins shows how great of an impact he is this series and provides more contributions to win, he might just steal it too.

4-1 so most likely the same against the Mavs? win both at Chase center and then steal 1 at Boston and intentionally lose 1 and then cap up the year and celebrate the championship in their home court.

Yeah, something like that. Or the Celtics steal one at Chaste Center, win both at TD Garden, and end it at Chaste. Ouch! Just kidding.  
I just took it while the profit was fat. Because once GSW won one game that may change substantially downward. It's just a prediction and I am not saying it will happen accurately as the Celtics are not to be underestimated.

That's still possible, however, I would trust the record of the Warriors in the finals appearance, they have more wins than losses and the last time I remember they lose in the Finals was against the Cavaliers in game 7, so no way they'll be lose by 4-1 record.
