NBA 2024-2025 betting

[Baofeng]

Here's my pick, I have put a bet on them earlier,

Spurs vs Celtics - as others said, the odds are somewhat weird, so I'm going on Spurs +12.5 on this game. Celtics is the best team in the East, and they could win this game but not cover the initial spread.

Bulls vs Jazz - I like the Bulls in their homecourt, they are a slight underdog. I'm expecting either Lavine or DeRozan to shoulder the scoring load, last time it was Lavine who got 40+ points, DeRozan is playing good at home court so this is going to be fun.

Single bets, but for insurance, I parlay this two, for a more juicy odds at 3.86.

Dallas Mavericks @ 1.25 vs New Orleans Pelicans

The New Orleans Pelicans (24-15) will face the Dallas Mavericks (22-17) tonight at American Airlines Center. The Pelicans lost to Brooklyn Nets 108-102. The Mavericks suffered a blowout lost to the Boston Celtics 124-95.

Key injuries Pelicans: Brandon Ingram (toe) out, Zion Williamson (hamstring) out
Key injuries Mavericks: Luka Doncic (ankle) probable, Dorian Finney-Smith (adductor) out, Maxi Kleber (hamstring) out

Sacramento Kings @ 1.26 vs Los Angeles Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers (18-21) will try to extend their winning streak against the Sacramento Kings (20-17) at Golden 1 Center. The Lakers won against the Atlanta Hawks to close their Home games. The Kings are coming off a loss against the Atlanta Hawks last Wednesday, 130-114.

Lakers key injuries: Troy Brown Jr (quad) questionable, Anthony Davis (foot) out, Damian Jones (toe) questionable, Austin Reaves (hamstring) out, Lonnie Walker IV (knee) out

Spurs vs Celtics - as others said, the odds are somewhat weird, so I'm going on Spurs +12.5 on this game. Celtics is the best team in the East, and they could win this game but not cover the initial spread.

There's a chance but it doesn't look good right now, at the half time the Celtics are already leading 11 points. Spurs needs to come back in the 2nd half to be able to at least cover the spread.

+15.5 Spurs is currently the spread in live betting.

Bulls vs Jazz - I like the Bulls in their homecourt, they are a slight underdog. I'm expecting either Lavine or DeRozan to shoulder the scoring load, last time it was Lavine who got 40+ points, DeRozan is playing good at home court so this is going to be fun.

Single bets, but for insurance, I parlay this two, for a more juicy odds at 3.86. 

I'm not sure what happened but Bulls opened at -1.5 favorite but now a slight underdog of +2.5.

You are lucky if you take that spread, the spread was already down to a single digit, and based on what I see, there's a chance that the home team will cover the spread. +15.5 is a good steal IMO, well, I think Celtics will win but that -15.5 is definitely hard to cover unless they'll have a huge run and the Spurs will not respond.

Anyone picking on the Lakers to win against the Hawks?

They are listed as the underdogs so I'm thinking to put some money on the ML @2.19. Not huge amount of money, but just enough to enjoy a late night basketball game.

James will be back and so is Bryant and so maybe they can extend their winning streak against Atlanta at their home court.

You did a great job risking your money for the Lakers, LeBron lead the Lakers as he contributed 25 points, while Dennis and Nunn also have 20+ contributions to help him to win.

Lakers protect their home court with an amazing early start, they manage to protect their good lead fromt he first
half and not to allow the Hawks to rally back. Congrats to all who take that underdog as Lakers gives them the win!

Just got lucky, but perhaps it was due to Lebron coming back in this game and yes, Nunn and Dennis Schroder was a big help for James.

Now they are going to face Sacramento Kings, so I have to go with them at -6.5 at 1.90.

Warriors at +9.5 at 2.00 live betting.

Who took the risk of betting for the LA Lakers?! You are lucky if you did. How much was it at ML? Because it was -10.5 for the Kings before the games started.
It ended in a high-scoring game. 136-134 in favor of the Lakers. A lot of frustration came out, especially Sabonis who was fouled out at the crucial part of the regulation and Fox asked for a foul at his buzzer-beater shot. Indeed an upset.

1/2.
Dallas Mavericks somehow managed to get a big lead against the New Orleans Pelicans although they are really fighting back even without their star trio.
Luka Doncic, another 30-pointer triple-double.
Congratulations to all the winners.

Lucky for those who take the risk for the Lakers, LeBron lead them in scoring and Dennis, Russ and Bryant all bring their best
in helping LeBron winning this snatch from the Kings.

Congratulations to all the winners.

Early lead got established by Mavs, Luka start the game with an early offensive focus, something that NOP can't handle,
Without the Trio, the game is really tough for NOP.

Congrats to all those who win today, moving forward. There are many available games tomorrow, good luck!

I’m showing a -9.5 point spread for the Lakers tonight at the moment. I agree that is too large of a spread, especially the way LeBron has been playing. I think the Kings will probably win, but I don’t have faith they’ll cover the spread, so I think I’d take the Lakers on that one (with the spread). Might as well toss the Warriors beating the Magic and the Celtics beating the Spurs in there with a parlay.

Lakers vs Kings, it was an interesting game and oddly enough, balanced. The Lakers surprised me again, as I was convinced the Kings were going to win the game, but that didn't happen.

By the way, whoever bet on the Lakers was lucky lol

In this round of the NBA we had another unforeseen event, Magic beat the Warriors, and GSW was the favorite to win the game.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) I'm glad I didn't bet as I would have lost some money on my bets lol

Very close game for the Bulls vs Jazz, but as you have predicted, Lavine and DeRozan elevated their game in the 4th quarter and take the lead for good. I think the Jazz has still a slim 2 point lead going into the 4th and in the last 8 minutes they are leading. But both Chicago Bulls star almost scored 40 point each, DeRozan 35 and Lavine 36, spot on with you analysis.

But the biggest surprise is the Lakers winning on a high scoring game against the Kings.

Yeah, lucky for those who beat on them in this game.

I bet against the Lakers because it is an away game for them, and I expect them to lose. But they prove me wrong. They continue their winning streak. They are now on a 5-game winning streak. This is a good sign for the fans of the Lakers. It seems they are coming back to life even without AD. They will be even stronger when AD returns.

Congratulations to the winners today.

9 games tomorrow but most of them are too early for me. I may take an early bet later.

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my picks for games tomorrow,

Detroit Pistons VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 2.80 for the Pistons, and 1.46 for the 76ers, Marvin Bagley III, and Isaiah Livers can not play for the Pistons, and  Buddy Boeheim and Jalen Duren are questionable if they could play, while Joel Embiid and P.J. Tucker can not play for the 76ers, well for this game the Piston does have many supporters, for this game even though Joel Embiid can not play my pick is the Philadelphia 76ers,

Indiana Pacers VS Charlotte Hornets

The stake odds for this game are 1.45 for the Pacers and 2.85 for the Hornets, right now Daniel Theis can not play for the Pacers, while Kendall Brown, Jalen Smith, and Bennedict Mathurin are questionable if they can play for the Pacers, now the Charlotte Hornets have Kelly Oubre Jr., can not play for the Hornets and Gordon Hayward is doubtful if he can play for the Hornets, I think I can trust the Pacers winning this game, so my pick is the Indiana Pacers,

Miami Heat VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 2.39 for the Heat and 1.61 for the Nets, right now Omer Yurtseven, Nikola Jovic, and Duncan Robinson can not play for the Heat. At the same time, Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, Gabe Vincent, Caleb Martin, Dewayne Dedmon, and Udonis Haslem are all questionable if they can play, for the Heat, while Brooklyn Nets are in good shape, for this match, Miami Heat has many injuries that may likely take a toll with their performance and right now the Nets are pretty much consistent in winning, so my pick is the Brooklyn Nets,

Houston Rockets VS Minnesota Timberwolves

The stake odds for this game are 2.14 for the Rockets and 1.75 for the Timberwolves, Right now the Houston Rockets are 100% healthy, while Jordan McLaughlin, and Karl-Anthony Towns, can not play for the Timberwolves, while Bryn Forbes, Anthony Edwards, and Naz Reid is questionable if they can play for the Timberwolves, even though the Rockets doesn't have any injuries I will still go with the Timberwolves, so my pick is the Minnesota Timberwolves,

Early in my timezone as well but I don't need to watch them anyway. I guess I will take the Phoenix Suns, they are the underdog, so I will try to bet them straight up, they really need to win as they are in a long losing streak already. Also, the Clippers are back home, so I believe they will win this game too.

I didn't, I'm satisfied with my bets and it was all a hit for me. Just saw a couple of minutes in the 3rd and the Lakers really did a good job in this game. Not sure if it was the defense of the Lakers that's so frustrating to the Kings or it's that Sacramento is missing a lot of shots while Lakers is taking advantage and make the score very close throughout and then manage to get a win tonight.

Early games in our timezone again mate. But if Joel is not going to play against the Pistons, Detroit might steal this one, they are the underdog obviously at ML, or 4.5 to 5.5 for them is not that bad.

Oh yes, just finished checking the games for tomorrow.
One at 4 AM and another at 4:30 AM. I am not even awake at this time. No choice but to put our early picks. 

Will try my luck with 76ers Embiid-less. Let's see if Harden could at least carry the team while their big man is resting from his foot injury.
Detroit Pistons - Philadelphia 76ers - 76ers -5.5

I don't know why Portland Trail Blazers are an underdog against the Toronto Raptors. I am guessing the combined homecourt and hunger of the Raptors to win because they are now on three losing streak.
Will take the favorite Raptors -3.5.

I will stay away from this game, not only the Raptors are hungry to win but the Trail Blazers also, they are in a 2 losing streak, so they will try to stop that. The home team always have the edge though, but judging on the record of the Raptors, they are not so dominant at home, they have 11-10 w-l record at home while they only covered 10 of 11 wins, so if they'll win they might cover the spread.

[OgNasty]

No televised games for me today but there's still a couple I wouldn't mind tossing a bet on.  I do wish I could watch the Nets vs Heat game, but what can you do...

I think the Timberwolves should be able to beat the Rockets today and the 76ers should be able to take down the Pistons.  Without Devon Booker I think the Cavaliers will beat the Suns and those are pretty much the games I feel somewhat comfortable with.  The next televised games for me though will be Tuesday night on TNT with a doubleheader.  I'll have to wait until then to watch some more basketball.

[MK-74]

My picks for tonight.

Phoenix Suns vs Cleveland Cavaliers (-5.5) = Cleveland Cavaliers Win 1,88 Odds.

Los Angeles Clippers (-4.5) vs Atlanta Hawks = Los Angeles Clippers Win 1,94 Odds.

Miami Heat vs Brooklyn Nets (-3.5) = Brooklyn Nets Win 1,84 Odds.

Good luck guys.

Same for me, I believe I will bet later too. We will have several games today, I believe it will be valid to make some picks today.

Yes, Lakers have a good team, what is missing is chemistry between the players, it's too early to say, but if AD returns, and the team continues with the spirit of teamwork, I have no doubt they will be able to advance in the playoffs, But I think it's too early for me to say that.

[wheelz1200]

Couple games live got to my picks a little late.  Today it's a mixed bag of home and away games.:

Home:
Pacers -5 against Charlotte, Pacers are playing real solid right now they should take this game
Memphis -8, this should be a blowout

Away:
Nets -3.5, they are rolling why not keep riding them
And minn -2 at Houston.  Wolves need to win these games if they want to sneak back in to the playoff hunt.  They win this one easily.

Good luck everyone.

Will take the favorite Raptors -3.5.

James Harden is literally carrying the 76ers by himself tonight, he's doing it all, Philadelphia 76ers are leading by 15 points 90-75, and James Harden with triple double already is the joint most-point, joint-most rebound, while also having the most assists in the game so far.

The Raptors is also up by 5 points at halftime, but the game very far from over as the Blazers aren't just going to go away that easily in the second 45 minutes.

I'm going with the Brooklyn Nets -2.5 vs Miami Heat for tonight, the Dallas Mavericks -4.5 points is also something I was willing to give a go on, but definitely not with Luka Doncic out.
