NBA 2023-2024 betting

Here is the result of my pick for today's NBA finals game,

Golden State Warriors VS Boston Celtics (Series Tied 1 - 1) - SCORE 107 - 88 - WIN

We have seen a very dominant Warriors again in game 2 and from the game, Derrick White had 12 points, Jaylen Brown got 17 points while Jayson Tatum got 28 points, but it was not enough to win against the Warriors that spread their score to all Warrior Players Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson both got 11 points, Kevon Looney got 12 points, Jordan Poole got 17 points and Stephen Curry with 29 points, from that game 2 Draymond Green pretty much focus more on the defense, getting very physical with the Celtics throughout the game, while Jordan Poole did a remarkable beyond almost half-court shot, even Stephen Curry has his deep 3 points getting the lead even more, and I think they now have the momentum going to game 3 on Celtics home court, but I think that smart defense from Draymond Green sure let the Warriors rack this win.

And this is the Golden State that we know, winning big the 3rd quarter and then closing the doors throughout the 4th.



They didn't gave the same opportunity to the Celtics in the 4th. Although they were outscored 24-20, it was mostly garbage time as the Celtics emptied their bench with still 5 minutes to go and raise the white flag. Now they are thinking what they are going to do in game 3. They now have the home court advantage, just a matter on how they are going to protect it.

Yes, that's correct. Their only problem in Game 1 was being careless in the last quarter but now they made sure the Celtics won't have a good run even a short one. Most runs came from the Warriors from 7-0 to 12-1 and it happened over and over that's why the lead ballooned to that amount.
1/2
Low score end game because of the blowout. Klay is still not himself, how I wish I could see him make those shots, it could have ended earlier. Thankfully, Jordan Poole was hot and provided a lot of help.
GP2!!! He is back! But we could see a little trauma when he did a layup that was supposed to be a high-flying dunk if not for the memory of the injury.

That's a good thing, Klay is not even himself and yet the Warriors have pretty much dominated the game. I like what they did in the 3rd quarter, again, they have a huge run and they continue their defense in game 2. Curry had rested well also, he doesn't need to come back after the rest in the 4th quarter as their 2nd unit are doing their job very well.

Game 3 is next, I like the chance of the Warriors here, because although Celtics are at home but they aren't dominating the home games based on their record in the last series.

Klay even not getting good numbers in terms of offense, but the presence of him in defense is good enough to help the Warriors,

Steph lead the entire offense but manage to take his rest much earlier since the 2nd squad already doing the seam tempo. I see that Boston

coach gave it up in the final quarter. Unlike in game 1, he still using his core five to play but this time he also rests them much earlier, maybe a

possible strategy to avoid any injury, they'll be going home and they can win back.

If you feel the Warriors will win, don't hesitate, per sportsbooks betting odds, the odds now are almost even, so Warriors has a chance to win the NBA Finals. The series now will be shifted to Boston, Warriors also need to win a game to even the series or take the lead, who knows, so just follow what you feel.

I have not checked his props in both Games 1 and 2 but I think he didn't, maybe the line was 30+ points. He did well today with 28 points but not enough. There are times he will be left free to shoot but it won't go in. The defensive pressure may have something to do about it and that's all Wiggins doing a fine job at guarding him. We won't see many players who do sacrifice their offensive power for the sake of winning the game. I am glad he learned that lesson in the Warriors team.

Game 3 is next, I like the chance of the Warriors here, because although Celtics are at home but they aren't dominating the home games based on their record in the last series.

Like the Miami Heat series, home games might not matter anymore.

Klay even not getting good numbers in terms of offense, but the presence of him in defense is good enough to help the Warriors,

I think I heard Jeff Van Gundy say the same thing, he puts his effort in the defensive end if he cannot contribute on their offense.

[Botnake]

So moving on, what's going to be the pick in game 3.

Celtics have their home court advantage and they are only favorite by 3.5 points.
This time, bets are balanced, look 50/50 on both sides, so I think this kind of line is provided by the bookmakers.

Is this going under or over?
I like to put some bet on the total as well.

First game, Tatum scored 12 points only, so obviously, he didn't cover the spread. In game 2, he did manage to score 28 points, so depending on what bet you have (over or under), he might have covered it.

It seems though that bettors still favor GSW to win the finals, so I would say that same. Chances for them are good specially that they've won game 2 and tie the series.

That will not change, Warriors are the more popular team and therefore Celtics have to earn their respect by beating the Warriors. We have a thread on the NBA Finals between these two teams and we see how big the advantage of the Warriors is based on the total votes.

Game 3 at home, this is very interesting, because Celtics usually bounce back after a loss, so let's see what they can do.

Almost equal, unlike the day after Boston won the game 1, Warriors have much higher odds, now that they've tied it up

Boston needs to win at home twice. If they will allow Warriors to take one game, the home-court advantage will
be back to Warriors and knowing how loud the crowd inside chase center it can affect the players' focus.
It's more about how you trust your team and how confident and willing you are to take the risk.

I can't trust Boston at home, by far, they don't have a good record at home because this team can win both home and road games. Celtics should bounce back in game 3 so the advantage will be on them, if they'll lose game 3, they will have to play well in game 4, otherwise Warriors might end the series in their home court in game 5.

[Yogee]

So moving on, what's going to be the pick in game 3.

Tricky. I won't put an early bet for game 3 and may just do it live. It doesn't look like there are serious injuries on both teams so that makes it rather hard to choose.

Is this going under or over?
I like to put some bet on the total as well.

I' m not betting here but I'm thinking of experimentin on haltime/fulltime. Celtics would start better and keep until halftime. Warriors will catch up and win im the sexond half. Odds for Celtics/Warriors is pretty high.

I like that, it actually gives betting odds, I think the odds for that is @10. I'm not sure if all gambling sites are offering it anymore, I checked with sportsbet, they don't have that betting option anymore.

Game 3 is next, I like the chance of the Warriors here, because although Celtics are at home but they aren't dominating the home games based on their record in the last series.

Klay Thompson still gives 11 points to the team not really enough but if you look at the scores they spread it out even Kevon Looney and Andrew Wiggins got double-digit scores of Looney 12 and Wiggins 11, while the Celtics are getting a hard time to the Draymond Green that focuses more on defense, the Warriors is having a Poole Party once again, I guess the Golden State Warriors will likely to have game 3 again and upset the Celtics even further,

Yes, I think that was right if you feel like the Warriors will win then bet for the Warriors, it is still your own decision to make, were just put what we think the outcome or the possibilities of the game may be, and in my opinion, in the 1st two games the Warriors has a good chance on winning on the Game 1 the Warriors was Dominating the 1st and 3rd quarter 2nd quarter I think was an even game, while the 4th quarter goes to the Celtics, while in Game 2 the Warriors dominates 1st Half and the 3rd quarter while the 4th quarter is not enough for the Celtics comeback, it's highly unlikely we can see the same gameplay on game 3, but take it with a grain of salt

Tricky. I won't put an early bet for game 3 and may just do it live. It doesn't look like there are serious injuries on both teams so that makes it rather hard to choose.

It will be up to you what do you prefer to do, and right now there are 2 days' break and both teams will have some rest and will have a proper readying to make for Game 3 watch the replays for both games so the same mistakes will not happen again, and condition themselves to be ready for the game, no serious injuries but their mentality will also be prepared as well,

I' m not betting here but I'm thinking of experimentin on haltime/fulltime. Celtics would start better and keep until halftime. Warriors will catch up and win im the sexond half. Odds for Celtics/Warriors is pretty high.

in my opinion, just like games 1 and 2, game 3 will be the same the Warriors tend to be dominant in the beginning of the 1st half, while the Boston Celtics is used to keeping the lead intact, but still, we can surely wait and surely you got a great plan in doing your bet so keep it up,

I agree! The Boston Celtics don't have many advantages if they play games at their home, their play is almost the same whether they are at home or at the road. As you said, it was already proven that their record at home is not that impressive either so the Warriors might steal 1 game on road just like what the Celtics did in Game 1.

The overall performance of the Celtics earlier was not that impressive and I expected that the game will be much tougher in the 2nd half but the Warriors have carry on leaving the Celtics with 20+ points in gap. They should bounce back next game if they don't want the Warriors to end the series early.

Like stadus said at his last post, Celtics are not as dominant when it comes to home games. They lost 2 of them against the Miami Heat so it's better not to rely on it too much. I may go with the Warriors here again in Game 3, bring that energy on the road or better. If Klay goes hot and the same performance comes out from Steph and Jordan Poole then it will be a monstrous game.
The crucial part is always the defense, must keep that energy flowing even from their bench.

Is this going under or over?
I like to put some bet on the total as well.

Here I have doubts. I am 1/2 when it comes to over and under, now I am doubting to bet in "over" again because of what happened in Game 2.
If the game ends in a blowout, it will surely be an "under". Maybe I will just pick on the player props instead of it.

Both teams played great defense, and although these team are good offensive teams but this is the Finals and for sure they will play a tight defense. The over/under now is only 212.5, that's very attractive for over but like you said, what if they'll play good defense and it will again result to a blowout win.

Well as I have said in our local board, if I'm undecided, then most likely I would pick the underdogs. So I might go with the Warriors here, whether ML or the handicap.

They are not doing good at home, and Warrior seems to thrive on a hostile environment, specially in the Memphis series, the crowd was really into it but they overcome and beat the Grizzlies in that series. So I wouldn't be surprised if they will get the win in this game 3 and continue their momentum.
