NBA 2023-2024 betting

[dothebeats]

3 games but all great games.

I'm leaning on the Thunder +8.5 and Jazz -2.5, they should break their losing streak.

It looks like we have the same point of view about avoiding the Bucks vs Wizards game. This is where most of us in this thread were trapped days ago when suddenly they reported Giannis was unable to play 2 hours before the game starts.
We will be better off waiting for the roster to be announced before we take our bets.  Although the spreads seem to mean that he will play, just to be sure.

I'm still salty about that last minute injury report for Giannis, that is why I pick Wizards +7.5 for Tuesday's game even if Hill, Antetokounmpo, and Holiday are reported to be playing. The Wizards managed to get close to the points of Bucks even without Bradley Beal. Hachimura is also on fire as of late so I don't think they'll have a problem covering the spread even if the Greek Freak (fuck that man) will be playing.

I checked why the Jazz was the favorite instead of the Kings, so Malik Monk and Huerter are in questionable status.
But, I do want to try my luck for the Kings ML.
I want to pass on the other two games for an early bet. Will try it live.

Jazz -2.5 as stated by Hypnosis00 is also a pick I'm currently interested on. A lot more juice and a relatively safer bet given the uncertainty whether Monk and Huerter will play. If Monk and Huerter would be out, they will have a hard time defending and getting the ball around. Jazz already confirmed Collin Sexton being out of Tuesday's game, and I think that wouldn't make much of a difference really given that Clarkson will be there. 

Live bets would also be great. Haven't really got the time to watched games live but perhaps I'll do it just for the Bucks vs Wizards game

I did 2/3 tonight, good bet for me. I hope it will always be like this.

@jakelyson congrats bro.
@YuginKado congrats bro 3/4.  Our Denver bets have lost.

Well, congrats to you aswell, well it seems that the Joker has been stopped from his tracks in just doing 24 points, but they got a good spread the Timberwolves managed to light the fire in the 2nd and 4th quarters of the game, and thanks to Jaden McDaniels and Anthony Edwards in creating a big lead for them,


Now here are the result of my pick and just like you have said 3/4 is not really bad,

Charlotte Hornets VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 115 - 121 - WIN

From start to finish the Lakers are on fire with Thomas Bryant and LeBron James in the lead, Lamelo Ball and Terry Rozier don't stand a chance, both Austin Reaves and Dennis Schroder got 15 points, and Thomas Bryant got a double-double of 15 rebounds, and 18 points while LeBron James had a double-double of 11 rebounds and 43 points winning the game,

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Chicago Bulls SCORE 145 - 134 - WIN

Chicago Bulls had a great run at the beginning of the game, but the Cavaliers somehow managed to turn the table in the 2nd half, Kevin Love got a double-double of 17 rebounds and 12 points, Cedi Osman got 19 points, Jarett Allen got 21 points, and Donovan Mitchell has an incredible double-double of 11 assist and 71 points, that is right 71 insane points,

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Denver Nuggets SCORE 124 - 111 - LOST

Now pretty much the Joker was stopped by the Timberwolves even though they don't have Towns on the team they keep on the pace Kyle Anderson has 19 points, Jaden McDaniels 21 points, and Anthony Edwards has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 29 points,

Golden State Warriors VS Atlanta Hawks SCORE 143 - 141 - WIN

A double OT game was really incredible game, I really thought that the Warriors will finish this game early because they got a tremendous lead at the beginning of the game, because of Klay Thompson's incredible clutch 3 points, surely the Hawks have managed to cut a chip by chip points for the game to held its 1st OT, and it was Donte DiVincenzo's 3s that made the Warriors safe while it was ended ina Warriors win, Draymond Green's double-double of 13 rebounds and 11 assist, while Jordan Poole has 28 points, and the lead for this game is Klay Thompson having 54 points,

[stadus]

Bunch of good games on tonight.  Taking 4 home teams today:

Sixers -4 at home against the Pelicans
Pacers -1.5 home against the Raptors
Nets -12 home against Detroit
And last give me Houston +7.5 home against the Mavericks.

Good luck tonight everyone and enjoy the games

Perfect bet. Congratulations.

The Cavs game was wild with Mitchell extra hot. But the Warriors' game was way wilder as Klay Thompson ignites his inner splash brother in a double overtime game against the Hawks. 
I bet that will silence all the critics that had been throwing bad words at him.

Funny thing is that the NBA was too cruel for the Cleveland Cavaliers as they are drug testing the whole roster later, they just can't believe that Donovan Mitchell made a double-double with a career high of 70+ points, that's why they will be testing them. NBA didn't even let them celebrate what happened

And yes, that Warriors vs Hawks match-up was too intense. Klay Thompson unleashed his beast and almost carried the team with 54 points, it's just rare to see double OT's. Could have been triple OT if it wasn't for Looney.

[Japinat]

My picks for tonight.

Milwaukee Bucks (-4.5) vs Washington Wizards = Milwaukee Bucks Win 1.85 Odds.

Memphis Grizzlies (-4.5) vs Sakramento Kings = Memphis Grizzlies Win 1.92 Odds.

Good luck guys.

I tailed both of your bets, but I wasn't expecting Giannis not to play the game, I really wouldn't have considered Milwaukee Bucks as the favorites, let alone a -4.5 point favorite when they're playing this Washington Wizards team with both Giannis and Khris Middleton out injured, but there weren't many games to pick from to begin with so, there isn't much options I could have had.

Memphis Grizzlies getting me even for the night still makes it very fair imo, thanks.

Meanwhile, what I got is the opposite bet because I rooted for the Wizards than betting on Bucks as I already know that the Bucks guards can't make it to the game which will give an advantage to the Wizards, what I didn't expect is that Giannis not able to play, head coach didn't listed Giannis as questionable either.

On the other hand, I favored the Kings to win the game against the Grizzlies because Bane won't be with Ja Morant in the game. In an unexpected event, Kings roster wasn't that impressive today in their game against the Grizzlies which got my bets lost.

You are 1-1, and you are lucky that Giannis didn't play, things were so easy for the road team to beat the home team, and that's with a huge margin. Of course, Wizards does not have Beal as well  but the big 3 of the Bucks are out, so they lose.

Later they will have a rematch, a match-up between the Milwaukee Bucks vs Washington Wizards and the Bucks is again hosting the game, this time, Jrue Holiday will be helping Giannis against the Wizards and probably they will get their revenge from getting a defeat last time. I bet it will b a different game this time with Giannis rested and as well as Holiday.

Milwaukee Bucks -8 and Utah Jazz - 3.5

[MK-74]

Milwaukee Bucks -8 and Utah Jazz - 3.5

Perhaps, it's time for me to recuperate my losses on the Bucks the last time, I'll be taking both the Bucks and Utah Jazz tonight, with Giannis and Jrue back it should be a much easier game than the last time.

I like the Celtics too, and I think they should get back to winning ways after their loss to Denver Nuggets a few days ago, but they'll need to do a much better job than they did with guarding Jokic.

[ralle14]

The odds continue to shift to the side of the Celtics now that SGA is confirmed out of the lineup for the side of OKC and tbh I even liked their spread a bit more regardless of the blowout loss they had against the Sixers.

The Celtics will probably win here but i'll try a small bet on OKC+13.5 @1.69 bought all the points I can get on Stake and hope they perform much better and keep the game a bit close.

[TravelMug]

I bet on the Jazz -2.5 for odds of 1.78.

But it seems that they are having a hard time against the Kings right now, first half score is 51-60 in favor of Sacramento. I do hope that the Jazz will make a huge comeback in the second half to cover that spread.

And for those who bet on the underdog OKC, they are on huge lead against lead leading Boston Celtics.

This bet will probably go through because even if you gave a -5 handicap to the home team, they will still win the game and that's almost guaranteed because they are now leading the game with a 30+ points. Quite surprised by the game actually because I was expecting the opposite thing where the Celtics leads the game and not the other way around.

Well, this bet totally won and the handicap became pointless because they were up by 30 points against the Celtics. This bet could've won more if it was just a regular bet with no handicap included, but who could've guess that the Celtics will get defeated for the 2nd time since the year started. Honestly, nobody saw this coming and I believe that a lot of bets have go down the drain in this game.

It was definitely unexpected to see them take down a team sitting at the top of the standings by a huge margin. At the start, I was just hoping they get a good early lead and use that lead to keep it close.

Also, that Jazz game was tight in the end but unfortunately, the Kings sealed the win in their final possession and didn't give Jazz enough time to force a tie.

This really happened? That's absurd!
Like what they did with Danny Green after he made a follow-up monster jam? Examined if he is using drugs or enhancers.
Why didn't they check Luka and Joker too? Then there's Klay Thompson. NBA management should also have consistency. 

Anyway, I caught the Bucks bet -6.5 before the game started and confirmed Jrue and Giannis were playing. Lucky!

Got wild in Utah as I thought it was a basket for the last shot of Markkanen. I will let it slide if I am the official as it was a miracle shot and a miracle pass from Vanderbilt.
Even though my bet was for the Kings. It was just fun to see them playing back and forth.

Welp, 0-2 for this day. Didn't expect that Bucks will be on fire and Hachimura will be mediocre in this game. Giannis just sank 55 points for Bucks which is impressive considering that he let down a lot of people just a few days ago. Oh well, the next time I will have to bet on Bucks, I will wait an hour before I lock my bets. Though unfortunately not a lot of bookies have their lines open that late.

As for Jazz and Kings, it was a close one. Didn't expect Kings to be performing that well and overtake Jazz at the last quarter and maintain their lead. Good ball rotations and excellent shooting from De'Aaron Fox.


Lots of games tomorrow. Will be closely looking at injury reports because I don't want another Giannis mistake to happen again

What a game against the Thunders, that score is huge not quite usual with Boston to be dominated like that, I didn't watch the game and I'm expecting that Boston have some key players who did'nt play today.

But to my surprise, all key players are playing but they might not have the chemistry today and Thunders
are playing solid, with good ball movements, they shared the ball well.

Moving forward, those who bets for Thunders, they especially the ML surely the risk is worthy and win is sweet.

I wasn't able to bet on the Thunders ML, but I have them at 9.5 @1.80, so it's a good win for me against the Celtics. What surprises me though is how they dominated Boston in this game, the points total is huge for them at 150? Five players with 20+ or more in this game, and so it's a balance scoring.

Sorry for those who bet on the Jazz at handicap, I totally skip this game because of the ability of the Kings to stay with the Jazz.

So it's another dejavu win for Sacramento, it could have been went into OT, but Fox was to fast and score the go ahead, that is a costly mistakes for the Jazz as they didn't double team him and get the ball away from his hands.

Yeah, it's the defense that was the problem of the Jazz, this team was supposed to be a defensive team but they are not anymore good in defense now. Their big run was just wasted because they made a mistake on the most important play in the last sec, this could went to OT and they have a chance to win because they already have the momentum.

There are actually a lot of mistakes leaving Fox behind many times. I thought they learned their lessons in closing out games but not yet. They are a young team though so they should add this to their experience. IMO, it's still a great game.

12 games later guys. It's actually difficult to make a long parlay as I have seen many surprising endings in the last few weeks and especially yesterday where OKC blew out the Celtics even without SGA.

Raptors favorites against Bucks, that means a lot. No Giannis maybe? Avoiding a back-to-back game.
Picks:
Chicago Bulls - Brooklyn Nets - Nets -6.5
Charlotte Hornets - Memphis Grizzlies - Grizzlies -6.5
New Orleans Pelicans - Houston Rockets - Pelicans -7.5

2 roads, 1 home. Good luck.

[Botnake]

Here are my picks for the later games.

I only have 6 bets for now because I'm on a tight budget, LOL.. but maybe I'll add some live betting bets if I see some good value.

1-Nets -5.5
2-Raptors -3.5
3-76ers -8.5
4-Magic -2.5
5-Cavaliers -4.5
6-Grizzlies -7.5

ALL FAVORITES!

[YuginKadoya]

I think it is a good choice not to bet yesterday because it could be another 1 out of 3 bet win, but here is my pick for today,

Orlando Magic VS Oklahoma City Thunder

The stake odds for this game are 1.97 for the Magic and 1.88 for the Thunders, Right now Chuma Okeke, Jonathan Isaac, Jalen Suggs, and can not play and I think all suspended players can play today I think. while Chet Holmgren is out of season, Ousmane Dieng, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, and Aleksej Pokusevski are injured and can not play for the Thunders, I think because of the injuries of Magic and due to the fact that the Magic is not much of a team, right now, while the Thunders have recently won against the Celtics, I think my pick is the Oklahoma City Thunders,

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Portland Trail Blazers

The stake odds for this game are 2.06 for the Timberwolves and 1.80 for the Trail Blazers, right now Jordan McLaughlin, and Karl-Anthony Towns can not play for the Timberwolves, and Naz Reid, Taurean Prince, and Bryn Forbes are questionable if they can play for the Timberwolves, while Nassir Little and Justise Winslow can not play for the Trail Blazers and Gary Payton II and Jusuf Nurkic is questionable if they can play for the Trail Blazers, but for this game, I think the Trail Blazer is a more explosive team and because Towns are not back I surely have a doubt for the Timberwolves, so my pick is the Portland Trail Blazers,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Houston Rockets

The stake odds for this game are 1.36 for the Pelicans and 3.25 for the Rockets, right now E.J. Liddell, Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram, and Larry Nance Jr. can not play for the Pelicans, while Jae'Sean Tate can not play for the Rockets, even though they don't have Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram the Pelicans still have CJ McCollum and Jonas Valanciunas even though not explosives as Ingram and Williamson I think they will do fine against the Rockets, so my pick are the Pelicans,

Golden State Warriors VS Detroit Pistons

The stake odds for this game are 1.39 for the Warriors and 3.10 for the Pistons, right now Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala, JaMychal Green, James Wiseman, Andrew Wiggins, and now Jonathan Kuminga can not play because of injuries, and Patrick Baldwin Jr. is questionable if he can play for the Warriors, while Cade Cunningham is out of this season, Isaiah Livers, and Marvin Bagley III can not play because of injuries Buddy Boeheim is questionable if he can play today, for this game there is no doubt except if Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Jordan Poole can not play for this game maybe I will go with the Piston, but yeah this is a win for the Warriors so I will go with the Golden State Warriors,
 

[dothebeats]

Here are my picks for the later games.

I only have 6 bets for now because I'm on a tight budget, LOL.. but maybe I'll add some live betting bets if I see some good value.

1-Nets -5.5
2-Raptors -3.5
3-76ers -8.5
4-Magic -2.5
5-Cavaliers -4.5
6-Grizzlies -7.5

ALL FAVORITES!

Will be tailing your 76ers and Magic pick, and would go bet live with Cavs. Favorite picks with some value in them, but still difficult to go into a parlay since I'm not so sure about Magic making that huge of a lead against OKC who seems to be on fire on their last game. The Raptors is also a pretty solid pick for me but I'll just minimize my bets because I lost all games yesterday

Hopefully no last minute injury reports because I'm unavailable to change my bet 2 hours before the game starts!
