NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Pamadar]

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.

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.

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.

That's very possible but it will be depends on how both teams will compete. Remember, it's the finals and

both teams are capable of surprise and upset one another. Key players' impacts will be the most awaited here, if how they
will shine high and help in winning the games.

In terms of finals MVP, Curry might not waste this opportunity to win this award, Iggy and KD take it from him
and now another chance is knocking. It's time.

[Botnake]

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.

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..

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.

Same here, this is much interesting to see because we can see some new team and faces playing in the Finals which is the Boston Celtics and they're against the time tested Warriors who made numerous appearance with the same trio.

As for Wiggins, pretty much he will have some hard time guarding Tatum especially now that the latter have stepped up his game even more. Same as Steph Curry because in the recent games with the Celtics, Curry's shot is limited when he is guarded by Marcus Smart. But this will be scenarios is not final and obviously we will see some adjustments every game.

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

And now that the game was tomorrow we can surely see at the 1st game who is more superior, If the Boston Celtics have a superior Defense, or if the Golden State Warriors have a killer lineup, that many in the NBA need to be feared, And for me, I really liked the Boston Celtics with their very good defensive plays but Compared to the Golden State Warriors that certainly has the widest variety of plays and I think they can play on a more defensive or offensive if they want to, we can say they are an all-rounded team, for me, I would definitely go with the Warriors and loves watching Stephen Curry playing for the Warriors, because it is very entertaining, and we could really see in game 1 if who's the real superiors one,


Now here is my pick for Tomorrows's game 1

Golden State Warriors VS Boston Celtics

Stake Odds for this game are 1.61 for the Warriors while 2.40 for the Celtics, and right now Gary Payton II, Otto Porter Jr., and Andre Iguodala are questionable if they can play for the Warriors, while Robert Williams III is questionable if he can play for the Boston Celtics, from my standpoint I will be very bias for the Golden State Warriors because I definitely think that they will be champion this season, but let's not be very underestimating with the Celtics because they can pull a good win when they need too, but playing with Home Court advantage proves very advantageous for the the Golden State Warriors, this is the 1st game and I am expecting a good game for both teams,

[Jating]

So it's game 1 tomorrow night, for sure many are going to ride on the Warriors side because they have the tools to win the championship again.-3.5 is the opening line for them, but I a guess putting a bet higher for a better odds might not heard us.

So I'm going with the -4.5, current odds: 1.98.

Best of luck to all bettors,

Warriors fans will surely take this one, not sure if there's something behind or maybe bookies also consider Boston

as a good competitor, dub fans will take these opportunities believing that Warriors can easily cover this handicap, if they
will play solid and manage to bring tough defense with Boston main scorers, it will be another blowout for the Warriors
not going to easily conclude this game since it will impact as whole while playing the series,.

A -4.5 handicap on the Warriors side is not that bad along with its odds, for sure there will be a lot of bettors who will ride that spread and odds and of course that includes me Though there are also bettors who believed that the Celtics will take the first win tomorrow but I think their chances are just slim because Game 1 will be played at the Warriors homecourt. Well, anyway, maybe that will happen. Good luck folks!

I'll take the Warriors at that odds, this is game 1 of the series, it's a must win by the Warriors and I think Celtics will be dominated by a good home team like the Warriors. They have to remember that Warriors ain't a one man or two man show.

I hope not everyone is on the Warriors, it's seemed like the public are all over the Warriors, I'm afraid the refs will fix it so the Celtics will cover the spread. Although I think of that possibility already, I can't trust the Celtics to cover specially if the Warriors are dominating the game. I'm not so confident so I'll just put a little bet on the Warriors spread in game 1.

[Harkorede]

I've got the Overs 211.5 @ 1.75, I think game 1 will be a high scoring one with both teams still trying to figure things out, and before the necessary adjustments would be made by respective coaches in the succeeding games, and moreover I think the Celtics vs Heat series saw some games go Under because of how awful the Miami Heat's offense was during the game, and I don't think the Warriors offense would ever go that cold due to the number of great shot makers on the roster.

[stadus]

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.

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.

Who wouldn't love that play, right? The game was too intense and I'm sure that even the referees are enjoying the game too. I just hope that we can see some fair and square referees again this upcoming Finals, we already have a good teams playing with different capabilities and we cannot afford to see some refs to give unjust calls.

I'm following. Just 211.5. I don't want to go greedy in the first game of the Finals. Let's also try to figure out the scoring capability of both teams in this kind of match.

I hope so. Be strict. Sometimes they are surprised and blow their whistles whenever a player shouts for a foul. That should be avoided and I think they did during the Miami Heat vs Celtics game. There's one time when Marcus Smart did an obvious flop and thank goodness the refs didn't bite it. 

Will be betting for Golden State Warriors for Game 1 @-4.5. I don't really like the spreads but it's the homecourt advantage so I guess we have to just accept it.

[mirakal]

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.

Nope, their last Finals appearance was the NBA Finals of 2019 where they got a 2-4 record against the heavy line-up of the Toronto Raptors. Surely that line-up gave the Warriors a hard time especially Stephen Curry as he was against Kawhi Leonard.

Back to the topic, the chances of the Celtics and Warriors are just equal. That example against the Raptors was a perfect example because the Warriors is the back to back champion that time and have so much experience in the playoffs and Finals but they are still vulnerable and got defeated.

I think golden state took that finals for granted.  You might see a steph you have never seen before.  They have to know eventually all runs end this could be their last go around.  I expect to see steph gold tonight.  Taking them and giving the points tonight.  Just gonna cross my fingers taytum doesn't go out and have one of them game wrecking nights where he is unstoppable.

One thing I noticed though, maybe it's just me, is that the referee are not calling fouls against the Warriors. We've seen this in the Memphis and then the Mavs series. But it seems that the Warriors, specially Steph, take this personally against the referee and then exploded for 30+ per game to take the win and now they are in the finals. Just telling to look for those fouls that are not going to be called let's see if Curry drives and then there is a obvious foul but the ref are not going to blow their whistle. Warriors at -3.5.

Best of luck to all bettors, 

Definitely many are going with the Warriors after what they did to Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks and they ended their conference finals with a near sweep, definitely, Bookies will highly favor the Golden State Warriors, and they are highly the favorite to win in this game, and I am pretty much excited about the match, actually.

I hope not everyone is on the Warriors, it's seemed like the public are all over the Warriors, I'm afraid the refs will fix it so the Celtics will cover the spread. Although I think of that possibility already, I can't trust the Celtics to cover specially if the Warriors are dominating the game. I'm not so confident so I'll just put a little bet on the Warriors spread in game 1.

And you are having doubts yourself if the Boston Celtics can cover up the spread on this game if the Golden State Warriors are doing the same, like I said I am pretty confident right now in saying that the Warriors will be champion this season, after what they did to the Memphis Grizzlies, after their lost from underestimating the Grizzlies because Ja Morant was injured, they have changed their approach and dominate the game I think they can do it aswell with the Celtics, and on the Dallas Maverick's game that made the Phoenix Suns the rank 1 in the Western Conference have ended their run with a 4 - 3 Lead was nearly sweep by the Warriors I think this is a no brainer that the Warriors will heavily favored in the 1st game,

[Baofeng]

I'm also riding on the Warriors bandwagon, at least this game. I still want to see Jayson Tatum's performance against the defense of Wiggins. This is again a good match up for Wiggs specially on how he work out defensively and offensively Luka Doncic.

So like the majority of you, I will be betting on the handicap at -3.5. If the Warriors pull a big lead on the first half, it will be hard for the Celtics to do a catchup. But if it's close, then Steph will bring need to bring his shooting again.

[ralle14]

I like the Warriors spread at -3.5 but i'll go with a safer pick and take advantage of Stake's promo with the Warriors to win @1.60 hoping they'll get at least 12 points or more since the leads can easily go out of hand between these two teams. I just hope the Warriors don't start slow as the Celtics usually take advantage of building early leads.

[morvillz7z]

I'm really excited about the Finals, i slightly favor Boston in this matchup due to their individual defense and athleticism, but Golden State has home-court advantage, so yeah...that even things up, should be a 6-7 game series. In terms of betting on Game 1, i went with two props, one for each team:

∆ A. Wiggins 15+ PR / S. Curry 4+ assists / D. Green 1+ blocks @2.03 ∆ X

Looking at A. Wiggins' playoff numbers thus far, all i see is consistency. He's averaging 16 and 7 in those 16 games. Curry is averaging just over 6 assists per game in the playoffs and nearly 10/L3. The Celtics may decide to take away his 3s, resulting in simple dump passes to Looney/or whoever. Green is averaging roughly one block per game in the playoffs, with at least one in each game 1s (vs. Den, Mem, and Dal).

∆ J. Brown 20+ PR / M. Smart 3+ rebounds / J. Tatum 35+ PRA @1.72 ∆ X

Brown has 20+ PR in 17 of 18 postseason games and had an excellent game the last time these two teams met in March. Celtics pushed the pace early and often in game 7 against Miami, and it started on several occasions with Smart picking up the rebound and running down the floor. He's had 3 or more rebounds in 7/L8. As for J. Tatum, he is averaging 40+ PRA throughout the playoffs and has played really well in the last couple of games.

[YuginKadoya]

Here is the result for today's game and it is not really good actually

Golden State Warriors VS Boston Celtics (Celtics Lead 0 - 1) - LOST

It's a total Bummer that the crowd favorite lost on their home turf, and right now I am really surprised at what happened, the Golden State Warriors is playing a dominating game at the Beginning but a sudden comeback for the Celtics in the 4th quarter, I was really shocked because I really thought that the Golden State Warriors could win this, Klay Thompson Does 15 points, Andrew Wiggins has 20 points while Stephen Curry got 34 points, clearly it is not enough because the Celtics mostly have 2 digit scores, from Jayson Tatum's double-double of 13 assists, and 12 points, Marcus Smart's has 18 points Derrick White has 21 points, Jaylen Brown got 24 points and Al Horford had 26 points solidifying the 1st win on game 1 while the Warriors is on home-court advantage, This goes to show that they can not underestimate the Boston Celtics and surely the team with a great defense prevail,

[Dave1]

^^ Yeah, it's very unexpected that the Warriors are going to lost game 1 at their homecourt. They started good at the first quarter and some at the start of the second, but they can't sustain as the Celtics took a 2 point lead at the halftime. And I said that this doesn't look good for the Warriors. So I was not able to watch the second half and when I look at the score, there is it, not sure what happen to the 2nd half, but I will say it was an upset.
