NBA 2023-2024 betting

[LogitechMouse]

Congratulations to both of you @LogitechMouse and @Baofeng. Nice short parlays there. Man, I could've tailed you both if you input your picks earlier.
I didn't win any of my parlays as I thought Mavericks could at least win one more time. But, it would be a big win for me if they did with the addition of @2.75 in the parlay.

My lucky day I guess.

You will have one for you in the future don't worry. We all have lucky days. As for the Mavericks, maybe it's time for you to not bet on them unless they will be playing on their home. I mean their defense is just awful, and that's one of the reasons why they are losing. Yes they have big players like Kleber, Powell, McGee, but still they are losing on games because of their bad defense. Luka is frustrated every game, and you can see it on his face if you are watching him play.

Sacramento Kings never fail to amaze me once again. -11.5 was covered with a lot to spare versus the undermanned Trail Blazers.

Congratulations to the Kings as they clinched the playoffs already after 16 years of not entering the playoffs. That's the longest playoff drought in NBA history, and now they broke it. The Kings already got the pieces or the perfect roster a few years ago. What they are lacking at that time is a perfect coach for them, and now the team got better when they acquired Coach Mike Brown.

Let's just see how the inexperienced Kings play in the playoffs. They might be inexperienced, but they have a coach who's lots of experience in the playoffs during his stint with the Warriors as their assistant coach.
We only have 2 games tomorrow. Celtics Vs. Bucks & Nuggets Vs. Pelicans.

Milwaukee Bucks - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics
- I only put my bet on this one, and will not bet on the other game. Back to back games for the Bucks so I think that the fatigue will be a factor on this one even though they are playing on their home. I believe the Bucks might just not let their key players play, or if they will, it will be limited minutes, and they are 3 games above the Celtics as well, so for this one, I believe that the Celtics will snatch one on the road.

How about the games tomorrow?

It's only 2 games but 1 of them is a must see battle, it's between the Bucks and the Celtics. Holiday just had a huge game against the Pacers with 51 points, (not sure if this is his career though). I'm still not decided as to who to beat on this game.

On the other game, it's the Nuggets vs the Pelicans, I might go with the Nuggets here at handicap.

-5.5 @ 1.82 not bad for the handicap if Nuggets will play solid, but I think it can be covered unless Denver will rest their core starters or they will play soft and let NOP snatch the game from them,.

Oh well, I might follow you, but let me check it during a live game before placing my bet,
chances of resting players might happen here.

There is a chance but on the other hand, I'm thinking that it might not happen as the Nuggets are not yet on the position where it's time to rest their core starters because they still got a handful of games left and they needed to win those games if they still wanted to preserve their spot in the West. It's pretty much better to watch the game and bet live to minimize the risks because currently, Nikola Jokic has been listed questionable.

But for the Celtics vs Bucks match-up, the latter has been favored as the favorites. I guess I'll go for the underdog ML @ 2.29

That 51 points he made versus the Indiana Pacers was indeed Jrue Holiday's career high, and that performance he made got me interested because I'm looking forward to him -seeing if he can still duplicate his performance or even retain the energy later against the Boston Celtics.

In-fact I will bet on their favor -3 because I got this feeling that Khris Middleton and Jae Crowder might return as well because they are upgraded to be probable as of now. This will be a good game to see, a battle of two giants in the East.

[morvillz7z]

Since it's MLB Opening Day we only get two ball games, and they both look tight, at least on paper.

I can't say i like anything in particular, but if Jokic plays (he's questionable right now, plus the Nuggets are in the front end of a back-to-back), i might sprinkle a little something on him getting a triple-double.

The odds for the MVP shifted back in his favor after Embiid sit out and didn't play against Jokic, who by the way, finished with a triple-double in that game....also, Jokic had a triple-double the last time they played the Pels.

I really don't the match against Indiana Pacers should be a metric of what should be expected here, I'd really fancy the Milwaukee Bucks too, but we all know how twisted this match can be, it often deviates away from the major expectation and it's sometimes always dependent about how the Celtics defense is setup to limit Giannis and neutralize Jrue, that's a daunting tasks but the Celtics are team have had a couple success doing, and the Celtics getting out by washington wizards would be form of wake up call for them too, I guess.

I'm taking the -3 on Bucks too, but I'm interested in the match itself because I don't much on the line for the match.

I honestly have no idea who will win between the Bucks and Celtics. Giannis is playing great at the moment which makes the Bucks pretty unstoppable, but the Celtics are one of the best teams in the league so it’ll be a great show. Glad it’ll be on TNT. Then the second game between the Nuggets and the Pelicans I feel a little better about the outcome being a Nuggets victory, but it’s basically a must win game for the Pelicans so they’ll be giving it their all… I think I’ll refrain from putting any money behind guesses tonight.

[boltz]

Celtics might snatch this one as the odds keep decreasing on their side and I think the bookies might now something so for that I will pick Celtics +2.5 at very comfortable odds @1.89

Combing that one with Pelicans +5.5 @ 1.90 making a fine bettingticket I would say. Also , maybe this time it will be a winning one...

Yeah, plus I can't see Jokic yet in player props so there's a chance they will not be playing too hard and just give it away if ever it goes wild for the Pelicans.

I'm taking the -3 on Bucks too, but I'm interested in the match itself because I don't much on the line for the match.

I will take the Bucks too, this is going to be hot. Bucks -3.5 should be enough. I still believe they have a deeper bench and their defensive line is way better with lots of big men on their roster.
Even without Giannis, they can win games and the only downside today is they are playing back-to-back games but this is their home and it must be protected.

Since it's MLB Opening Day we only get two ball games, and they both look tight, at least on paper.

He is still not listed on the props until now. I'll check back later before the game starts and hope he will be there by that time.
I want to put some bets for his triple-double too or maybe a 50-55 PRA.

Same as others, I am kind of doubting betting for the favorites on our second game. The Pelicans badly needs this win as they are tied with Thunder at 9th and 10th seed while the Mavericks are tailing them at 11th with just 1 win difference.

Looking at the line up, Marcus Smart performance have dipped a lot imo over the past two months or thereabout, and Celtics might need to rely a bit on their bench players contribution which Derrick white and Malcom Brogdon have contributed a lot to their form this season, but hopefully we'll get the DPOY performance tonight or he's saved it for the post season.

Nuggets vs Pelicans too; I'm not tossing any money either way, but there is speculation of Jokic not suiting up for tonight, that void can't be filled and as such, I might lean a bit more towards New Orleans Pelicans.

Since he didn't play, the line movement has been quite volatile. I believe this will lead to an easy win for the Pelicans, as they are in desperate need of a win. The home team has already secured the number 1 spot in the West, so there's no need for them to push too hard. This game may be a relatively relaxed affair, providing the Pelicans with an opportunity to improve their ranking.

You're right, it was the Pelicans who won the game, and it wasn't even close. In fact, the Nuggets recorded their lowest score of the season with only 88 points, which is significantly lower than their average. This shows that the Pelicans' defense was very effective in limiting the Nuggets' scoring opportunities.

I had a feeling that would be the outcome, and because of it, I had a decent win on this game. CJ McCollum's outside shooting and Ingram's mid-range shooting were crucial factors that helped the Pelicans secure the victory. They controlled the game and even held a lead of as much as 19 points. Although the Nuggets made a bit of a comeback, the Pelicans started another run in the fourth quarter that left the Nuggets with no chance to catch up.

I saw that coming, of course! but then Denver Nuggets lost every single quarter of the game, so it was a complete disaster for them, even if Jokic wasn't available for the game, Nuggets should at least be competitive, they looked very lost from the 1st Quarter, I understand there isn't much to lose for Denver Nuggets but that was an utter shit show from them, so much for me staying up late to watch the game.

Boston Celtics also blew out the Milwaukee Bucks tonight.

Ironically, it was Celtics losing to the Washington wizards awfully yesterday, and Milwaukee Bucks running rampage against Indiana Pacers and all their starters did really good numbers, Giannis with a triple double and Jrue Holiday with whooping 50+ points, but today they were humbled and brought back to earth with an efficient defense. Both the Bucks and Denver Nuggets loss tonight were the worse either team have succumbed to so far this entire season.

It's difficult to trust the games of teams that have already secured a playoff spot, as they may choose to play more conservatively to avoid injuries. The Nuggets might have taken this approach in their game against the Pelicans, resulting in the Pelicans dominating the game and not allowing the Nuggets to mount a comeback.

This was a good opportunity for those who analyze the games well, such as the Nuggets game where the spread opened at -7.5 but stayed at -1.5, indicating a shift in the expected outcome.

Yes, there was some rumors that the Nuggets might rest their star player but it was just vague to even think that it will actually happen because if I remember it correctly, the tip-off has said that Jokic was just probable. With the Nuggets star resting, Jamal Murray was left in charge and that's where the Pelicans took advantage to limit their gameplay. In the end, the Pelicans successfully dominated the home team. Just a wild though though, would the outcome be the same if Jokic was there? I guess not.

[danherbias07]

And the New Orleans Pelicans really did force a win. CJ McCollum was so hot on outside shots he made 6 of his 8 3-pointers. Brandon Ingram on the other hand didn't stop at just being an offensive player, he also made plays and took care of rebounds and ended up with a triple-double. This is his second in their last 5 games. He is really doing a lot for his team to claim a spot in the playoffs.
The only perk the Nuggets had in this game was having fun with Christian Braun's highlight dunks.

The Milwaukee Bucks bet is a big loss. The Boston Celtics did not even give them a chance to cut the gap. From 1st quarter to 4th quarter, the Bucks did not even win one. Jason Tatum ended with 40 points.

[wheelz1200]

Took a week off but kicking back up this weekend with 9 days left to go in the regular season!

First gimme the Knicks +3.5 on the road against the cavs.  Complete Homer bet but this is going to be a preview of the 4/5 game in the east amd shoukd be fun to watch.

Now gimme Suns-10 at home against the nugs.  They have something to prove and think they steamroll them tonight

Hawks -1.5 against the Nets on the road.  Kind of must wins for both teams and I just think the Hawks are just better.  So gimme the Hawks in basically a picked

And last I like the wolves at home in a pickem against the Lakers.  They are my sneaky pick in the west and am riding them into the playoffs so long as KAT is good to go.

Good luck and enjoy the games tonight everyone.

-5.5 @ 1.82 not bad for the handicap if Nuggets will play solid, but I think it can be covered unless Denver will rest their core starters or they will play soft and let NOP snatch the game from them,.

Oh well, I might follow you, but let me check it during a live game before placing my bet,
chances of resting players might happen here.

It was a trapped mate, however, I did bet early and before the game starts, I check the odds and there was a sudden shift as it become as low as 0-5 to 1.5 for the Nuggets and I was surprised by the moved.

And then I watch the game it was announcement that Jokic is not going to play.

But I'm still thinking that they can still cover the spread, but in the first quarter alone, the Nuggets shoot poorly and then I know that my bet is lost already.

That's why sometimes it's better to bet live, or at least after the kick-off so that we will see who's going to play and adjust our bets.

Just like it was a trap for the Bucks backers as well, because they see Giannis, and also Khris Middleton playing and thinking that it could have been a good beat for the Bucks -1.5 because it's their home court.

But the Celtics just took off and established a big lead and never look back and Giannis can't do anything about it.
