NBA 2024-2025 betting

[Kasabus]

No televised games today but there are a couple that I think are fairly decent matchups to bet on. The Lakers have their backs against the wall and should be giving it their all against the Magic. The Nuggets are also facing off against the Nets and I like that matchup for them. So if I were betting today I’d take the Lakers and Nuggets to win in a parlay.

Nice wins but as mentioned I didn’t have any money on the line.

I think the story of the night was Giannis getting himself a triple double while shooting 100% from the field. That’s not an easy task and an impressive outing. Especially since they got the win. Booker had a good night for the Suns also, but they couldn’t secure the W.

As a matter of fact, I did a bet on the Milwaukee Bucks during the live games but failed to ride with their win earlier because I wagered for a -7.5 in their favor and the score difference was only 7. In short, my bet failed because the Bucks didn't manage to cover the handicap that I did but fortunately, I did not go for a parlay today because I wasn't that sure of my other bets.

Bulls vs Sixers -7.5
Wolves vs Knicks -8

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my picks for today's game,

Charlotte Hornets VS Indiana Pacers

The stake odds for this game are 2.04 for the Hornets and 1.82 for the Pacers, right now Cody Martin, and Mark Williams, can not play for the hornets, while Tyrese Haliburton, can not play for the Pacers, and Bennedict Mathurin, Chris Duarte, and Isaiah Jackson are all doubtful if they can play for the Pacers, for me for this game as well, you will get a hard prediction but for me Indiana Pacers even though they can not make it as the

Houston Rockets VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 4.60 for the Rockets and 1.21 for the Warriors, Right now Houston Rockets don't have any injuries, while Ty Jerome, Andre Iguodala, Andrew Wiggins, and Gary Payton II can not play for the Warriors, and Kevon Looney is doubtful if he could play with the Warriors, and with this game we all know how the Rockets are, and what are they facing today, and for me, my pick is the Golden State Warriors,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Dallas Mavericks

The stake odds for this game are 1.75 for the Grizzlies and 2.14 for the Mavericks, right now Ja Morant, Vince Williams Jr., and Steven Adams can not play for the Grizzlies, and Jaren Jackson Jr. is doubtful if he's going to fight, while Kyrie Irving, Markieff Morris, and Luka Doncic are doubtful if they can play for tomorrows game, without those sky leaping playing if Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic could play I would go with the Mavericks so my bet could change when I would see who's winning,

Utah Jazz VS Sacramento Kings

The stake odds for this game are 2.75 for the Jazz and 1.49 for the Kings, Right now Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton can not play for the Jazz and Lauri Markkanen is doubtful if he's going to play, while Trey Lyles and Kevin Huerter are both doubtful if they can play for the Kings, We all know how the Sacramento Kings are playing right now and we all know Mike Brown a former assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors and is now applying what he learns from the Warriors to the Sacramento Kings and becoming the 2nd Coach to win at least 40 games in an NBA season, that is why there are possibilities for he Kings becoming champion, so my pick is the Sacramento Kings,

[wheelz1200]

Missed the early games just got my picks in for the day.  Got 3 later games:

Miami on the road in Detroit laying -10 points.  Normally don't like betting double digit road favorites but I like this one here.

Bucks -7.5 against the Raptors.  Hesitent on this brook looks to be out that's a big hit.  I still like the Bucks at home so I will ride them.

And last Pelicans-5.5 on the road against Rockets.  The last place teams should be full tanking for Victor mode.  No reason pels can't take this game on the road.

Good luck tonight everyone.

Was a Bucks. 5 away from a clean sweep last night.  Tonight its 3 home teams 2 favorites and 1 dog.

Knicks -8.5 home against the wolves.  Lots of injuries over on the wolves side.  Knicks should roll

Houston +11 against Warriors in Houston.  Warriors stink on the road.  Let's see if Houston can challenge here.

Memphis -5 against the mavs.  Mavs on the road don't impress me against a feisty Memphis team.  Gimme Memphis here.

Good luck tonight everyone.

4/4, great day for you, @danherbias07.

As for me, I only placed one bet on the games, and I lost because I took the Bucks -7.5. You are smart in buying points, and you took lower odds, which was a nice decision and gave you a perfect run. I guess if you are still lucky tomorrow, we might as well ride with your bets.

Do you have any bets for tomorrow?

Thank you.

As for bets later it's a tough choice, the spreads are mostly high as we will have games by heavy favorites today.
Here are my picks.

Utah Jazz - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-5.5) - No Clarkson, Sexton, and no Markkanen. Jazz's offense will mostly come from THT and their big man Walker Kessler. I am expecting the Kings to blow them out even at their home. Take a good lead as early as possible.

New York Knicks - Minnesota Timberwolves - New York Knicks (-7.5) Knicks at MSG with Brunson back and they had been winning their games for 3 consecutive times. This should be easy, especially with so many players listed as questionable for the Twolves. Edwards, Gobert, and Naz Reid.

Philadelphia 76ers - Chicago Bulls - Philadelphia 76ers (-7.5) After a good one-game rest for Harden, he is back. He will probably go wild with and let out all the energy from that rest.

Good luck everyone.

[gagux123]

Perfect.  

The Clippers dominated the Trail Blazers just as I predicted. Without Jerami Grant, there is a hole in their defensive stance especially when it comes to defending PG13 or Kawhi Leonard.

The Bucks had a great close game against the Raptors. I mean, despite playing a back-to-back game they still manage to have a lead or a close game even with exhaustion catching up to them. Bucks still won, Lopez was having fun playing against the FVV.  
I am glad I didn't get greedy taking a deeper spread.

Pistons versus Miami Heat was also a tough fight and it was only at the last minutes when the Heat made the gap. Butler and Tyler Herro combined are "bucketmen".

As for the Rockets versus the Pelicans, the Rockets gave them the chills as they chip away the 19-point lead made by the Pelicans. It almost looks like a blowout until they cut it by 8 points in the 4th quarter. Then, the Valanciunas strategy happened, post him up, give him the ball, and win it slowly with free throws.

wow, congratulations @danherbias07, it's a great performance.

I needed to take a break from in my bets to focus on some personal things and the defeats that were happening to me often lol, but... I'll be back soon!

[Baofeng]

Just 1 out of 2 for me, Bucks didn't cover the spread by just .5 points hehehehe, very close game indeed.

Philly vs Bulls -  Sixers is riding on a good winning streak and they are back at their homecourt, so -6.5 @ 1.62 for them. Joel Embiid playing like MVP, so I'm expecting another huge game for him and so is Harden.

Memphis vs Dallas - Same here, even without Ja Morant, Memphis is in winning form and fighting for the second spot against the Kings. So they will have to win this game against Dallas as they have the advantage at home and still without Luka if I'm not mistaken. -3.5 for Memphis @1.86. Parlay them  @3.01.

[Harkorede]

Playing against the Houston Rockets is probably about as easy as it can ever be for Warriors to get a win on the road right, they fail to get it now they're just done for imo, I have nothing at stake on the game, but it's the match I chose to watch, halftime with the warriors up by 5 points, I'm just curios to see what they'll make of the second half, and Stephen Curry seemed to be feeling it tonight.

We literally got the same picks mate and unfortunately, only the Warriors managed to do it. The handicap was quite big because it was a double digit spread and I was worried that they cannot cover it even if they defeat the Rockets but thankfully, they were able to cover it.

While for the Sacramento Kings, I didn't expect that they would be defeated today against the Jazz. Fox as always carried the game with the help of Murray, if only Sabonis and Terence Davis scored enough, they could've got it. Anyway, it is what it is. Let's try and bounce back again for the games tomorrow.

I said in my previous posts that I might put a bet on the Rocket just because they're playing on their home. A good thing that I didn't try to bet on them because I would've lost my bet.

At last, the losing streak of the Warriors have finally ended with 11 games as the won against the Rockets. I might say I'm not totally impressed because the Rockets currently are the 2nd worst team in terms of defensive ratings. If this happened against a top team on their home then it might be a good thing for the Warriors and the narratives about them losing on the road might change, but these are the Rockets. One of the worst teams currently in terms of win-loss record.

Anyway, the Warriors have still one road game left before going back to their home. They are up against the Mavericks next, and then they will be playing on their home for 4 games straight. In this tight competition, a 4-game home stand for the Warriors might be a big help for them knowing that they're only 2 games behind the 4th seeded Suns.

So sad to say but it is not our day today but I am still optimistic about this because I know we can bounce back from these losses, my bets with yesterday and the recent day after that all bets were a win except for the Golden State Warriors and right now I really thought that it will repeat the process and I will get 3/4 wins but instead I have got a 1/4 this time, let's just say this is the time when things really isn't for us,


Here are the result of my picks for games today,

Charlotte Hornets VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 115 - 109 - LOST

The pacers were perfectly winning until the 2nd half the Hornets blew out the Pacers to bits so I was really surprised in seeing that happen but because of the lack of Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin they just can't possibly do it,

Houston Rockets VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 108 - 121 - WIN

I was really not surprised that the Warriors won this game but rather get lost this game than win the other 3 I guess surely the Rockets can not make a lead against the Splash brothers and with Jonathan Kuminga in there it was a great combination that even not at home they win this,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Dallas Mavericks SCORE 112 - 108 - LOST

Surprise Surprise well I haven't shifted when I have known that Luka Doncic isn't playing I was still confident because Kyrie Irving was around but yeah the Grizzlies have won thanks to Jaren Jackson Jr. and I think Irving can continue like this,

Utah Jazz VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 128 - 120 - LOST

I could say that Ochai Agbaji has a great fire up in this game and nothing was up with Talen Horton-Tucker this time I really thought that the Sacramento will have a decent spread instead they can not occupy that gap that the jazz made, so yeah it was a close loss,

[danherbias07]

After a perfect win, now a perfect loss.
I should've listened to my instinct to avoid the high spreads favorites. It's too risky, but I will just have to live with it and get it back another day.

Results:
Sacramento Kings -5.5 - Lost against Utah Jazz. Even without Clarkson and Markkanen, they have Agbaji to step up his game and lead them in scoring with 27 points. I bet no one expected that including the Kings. Good game by the Jazz.

New York Knicks -7.5 - Another loss. Randle seems to be clouded by his emotions every time he gets frustrated. That is not right. They had a chance to tie the game at the last minute of it but yet he made a mistake in turning it over and then another by letting his emotion get the better of him. A technical foul free throw put a dagger to close the game.

Philadelphia 76ers -7.5 - Double Overtime. I thought I had a chance to still cover the spread but when Embiid was fouled out, I lost hope to see one win out of my 3 bets. Anyway, that's one heck of a game too, and credits to Chicago Bulls for putting up a fight until their last energy.

Congratulations to all the winners.

They have had huge games. First, they beat the Celtics, then the Kings. These are playoff teams. I'm sure the Jazz have a chance to make the playoffs if they win the play-in. They are playing very well, and even if they don't qualify, nothing is lost for this team. They were not expected to perform this well this season. Credit should go to their coach for the success. He is a genius.

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my picks for today's game

Orlando Magic VS Washington Wizards

The stake odds for this game are 1.90 for the Magic and 1.94 for the Wizards, right now Jalen Suggs can not play for the Magic, while Kyle Kuzma can not play for the Wizards, maybe without Kyle Kuzma the Magic can beat the Wizards but because Jalen Suggs can not play I surely doubted it, so my pick is the Washington Wizards,

Sacramento Kings VS Boston Celtics

The stake odds for this game are 2.75 for the Kings and 1.48 for the Celtics, Right now Kevin Huerter can not play for the Kings, while Payton Pritchard, and Danilo Gallinari, can not play for the Celtics, and the Boston Celtics have a complete lineup even though they got 2 injuries well because of this my pick is the Boston Celtics,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Oklahoma City Thunder

The stake odds for this game are 1.36 for the Clippers and 3.30 for the Thunders, right now Norman Powell can not play for the Clippers and Brandon Boston Jr. is doubtful if he's going to play while Chet Holmgren and Kenrich Williams is out for this season, and for this game the addition of Russell WestBrick has a big impact with the Clippers and for them to make a great spread using WestBrick I surely never thought that WestBrick still has it on him so my pick is the LA Clippers,

I would be afraid to bet on that Magic vs Wizards game. The Magic have actually been playing really well lately and winning some games they shouldn’t. I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat the Wizards tonight. It seems like from the odds I’m not the only one who thinks this way. It isn’t that I don’t think the Wizards are a much better team, it’s just the Magic have been on a roll.

[stadus]

Philadelphia 76ers -7.5 - Double Overtime. I thought I had a chance to still cover the spread but when Embiid was fouled out, I lost hope to see one win out of my 3 bets. Anyway, that's one heck of a game too, and credits to Chicago Bulls for putting up a fight until their last energy.

I failed on this bet as well but yes, credits for Chicago Bulls for giving the 76ers a hard time in all 4 quarters as the Bulls big three seems to be working well together in the game yesterday. They've had a combined score of 72 points which makes up almost three-fourths of the 76ers total score. In the Sixers side, they performed well too and gave the Bulls a good game and it's just that Harden was having a bad night.

Here's my advance picks for the games later.

Washington Wizards ML vs Orlando Magic
Cleveland Cavaliers -3 vs Brooklyn Nets
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Clippers -6

[MK-74]

My pick for tonight.

Orlando Magic vs Washington Wizards = Washington Wizards Win 1,91 Odds.

Good luck guys.

[wheelz1200]

Decent set of games tonight.  I got 2 home teams 1 away team  all favorites.

I like Orlando at game-1.5 should be a good game gimme the home team

I like the cavs away -4 against the Nets. 

And last I like the Clippers-7 at home.  Kawhi is finally back, dude balls.  I like clips chances from here on out.

Good luck everyone!

[morvillz7z]

∆ CJ. McCollum 5+ assists / T. Murphy 2+ 3pts / J. Valanciunas 10+ points @1.73 ∆   X

That Jabari Smith game-winning three ruined my previous bet which included NOP, so no more MLs, no spreads, but only player props from now on.

Pels have a chance to sweep the season series against SAS (3-0), and i'm looking at J. Valanciunas' numbers in those three previous games, averaging nearly 20ppg with the Spurs allowing the second most points to opposing centers this season. Also, Spurs will be without Collins, Sochan, and Birch, so i'm not even sure who comes off the bench and starts for them today... Julian Champagnie, Mamukelashvili??? Lol

Real quick on T. Murphy and CJ; Murphy 2+ 3pts in 7/L7 @ .47% shooting, CJ 5+ assists in 6/L7 avg 6.7 in that span.

[LogitechMouse]

Been out for some days, and now I'm betting again. Here are my picks.

Orlando Magic - Washington Wizards - Orlando Magic
- Kuzma isn't playing currently, and Beal is in foul trouble with 5 fouls on the 3rd quarter. I think the Magic can defend their home and win on this one. Gotta bet during the game because I woke up late.
‍
Sacramento Kings - Boston Celtics - Sacramento Kings
- Many are underestimating the Kings still even after how they are performing this season. We are near at the end of the season already, but still may are doubting about them. I bet on them on 2.65 odds because I think they can win against the Celtics. Kings are 7-3 on their last 10 games while the Celtics got 5-5.

Good luck to all bettors.

[danherbias07]

They are playing very well, and even if they don't qualify, nothing is lost for this team. They were not expected to perform this well this season. Credit should go to their coach for the success. He is a genius.

Correct. They are a young team and it will be a bonus if they can enter the playoffs and give those veteran teams a hard time winning the first round. 
As for the Jazz's coach Will Hardy, he sure is doing a good job with this young team, perhaps they can understand his players more as this is a rebuilding team.

I failed on this bet as well but yes, credits for Chicago Bulls for giving the 76ers a hard time in all 4 quarters as the Bulls big three seems to be working well together in the game yesterday. They've had a combined score of 72 points which makes up almost three-fourths of the 76ers total score. In the Sixers side, they performed well too and gave the Bulls a good game and it's just that Harden was having a bad night.

0/6 in the distance shots, 5 points in 47 minutes of game time. That's an off night literally for the bearded man. All he could do was support his team with his passing skills.

Sacramento Kings - Boston Celtics - Sacramento Kings
- Many are underestimating the Kings still even after how they are performing this season. We are near at the end of the season already, but still may are doubting about them. I bet on them on 2.65 odds because I think they can win against the Celtics. Kings are 7-3 on their last 10 games while the Celtics got 5-5.

Good luck to all bettors.

I woke up late, and forgot my early picks so I am going for the late games.
I like the Kings' bet for an ML. Also taking the risk and just enjoy a possible close game against the number 2 in the East.

Did the Brooklyn Nets just break the heart of some Cavaliers bet? They did a small run in the 4th quarter and close the gap. I hope your bets are all covered.
