NBA 2024-2025 betting

[OgNasty]

Some good mismatches today as the season winds down. Thinking I might throw up a parlay bet for the Lakers to beat the Jazz (closest matchup), the Suns to beat the Spurs, the Nuggets to beat the Rockets, and the Bucks to beat the Wizards. Most of those games should be gimmes except maybe the Jazz beating the Lakers. I think the Lakers hot streak will continue though.

If I remember it right, this is where I lost most of my bets last year. It becomes more strange as either they rest their stars or they play the game like it's just a game and not for a common goal when they are in critically need for a win.

I may take the Lakers as one of my parlays and then the Suns to keep their 4th plays in the West, plus they have Durant to make things easy.
Then, I will also take the Warriors -5.5 vs the Oklahoma City Thunders for my single bet. Both teams will be playing so hard that I won't be adding them to my parlays.
Grizzlies -15.5 versus the Trail Blazers, it may be a long shot too but I do think they can cover it with a team that has no stars playing anymore.

I will tail you with the Warriors handicap bet, it's going to be in their home court, and we all know how strong the Warriors is at Chase Center specially in the third quarter wherein they can change the complexion of the game. I also like the chances of T'Wolves against the Nets, T'Wolves ML for me.

The game that I wanted to watch though is the Sixers vs Boston. Number 2 and number 2 seed, this could be interesting game, and see if the Sixers can bounce back. There could be some "predictable games", but who knows, maybe we can see some upsets, hehehe. Most likely will look for live betting and see we can find good odds.

∆ J. Ivey 15+ points / J. Ivey 5+ assists @1.70 ∆    won

Ivey had a subpar game against Orlando, scoring 14 points on under .30% shooting. ORL has suddenly become a top defensive team in the league (second in defensive rating /L5) Lol. On the opposite side, Heat rank 25th in DefRtg /L5, and it seems that they have been slacking on defense as of late. Ivey getting 30+ minutes on regular basis and 15 to 20 FG attempts should be enough, Bagley being out helps too.  Ivey has covered the 5+ assist line in 7/L7.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings (47-31) will visit the New Orleans Pelicans (40-38) tonight at Smoothie King Center. The Pelicans have won 7 of their last 10 games and are on the roll. I am betting they will try hard to get this one to be in a better position in the post season.
King key injuries: Malik Monk (leg) questionable
Pelicans key injuries: Jose Alvarado (leg) out

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics (54-24) will visit the Philadelphia 76ers (51-27) tonight at Wells Fargo Center. The 76ers is favored to win this game but I am rooting for an upset.
Boston Celtics key injuries: Jaylen Brown (back) questionable, Robert Williams III (knee) out

I will tail you with the Warriors handicap bet, it's going to be in their home court, and we all know how strong the Warriors is at Chase Center specially in the third quarter wherein they can change the complexion of the game. I also like the chances of T'Wolves against the Nets, T'Wolves ML for me.

And we won.

The Warriors somehow managed a good run in the 4th quarter. Even though they didn't have the lead for a long time, the energy can be seen on both ends of the floor.
Draymond Green and Kevon Looney, these guys are very critical for this team. Looney's offensive rebounding had been impressive since the start, he won't stop trying to get a second opportunity for the team.
That's their last game in Chase Center for the season. The other two games left will be on the road, I hope they can win their games.

Your Timberwolves ML won too. Nice. Congratulations.
My Grizzlies bet didn't cover the spread. Ouch!

Count me in on this pick! I place my bet during the middle of 3rd quarter when GSW was down by 7pts. I believe on GSW that they can overcome this small points gap on late 3rd quarter to 4th quarter because they don't want to be on the playin and they really need to win all their games to win on this 3ple tie breaker.

I didn’t watch the match when I place my bet because I play a couple of blackjack and I'm confident enough for my bet to win. Betting on teams that on the verge of play-in tournament is really amazing despite their incomplete roster.



This win recover my loss on Blackjack.

Both Warriors and Timberwolves won their respective games, congratulations mate!

I only took a bet on the Warriors favor against the Thunders and nothing else because just like what you've said, they are just hard to beat on their own homecourt. And for the other games that happened earlier, I took a hard pass including that Wolves vs Nets match-up because I was having a hard time choosing as the Nets can still explode in any given time and game.

The game that I wanted to watch though is the Sixers vs Boston. Number 2 and number 2 seed, this could be interesting game, and see if the Sixers can bounce back. There could be some "predictable games", but who knows, maybe we can see some upsets, hehehe. Most likely will look for live betting and see we can find good odds.

76ers took down the Boston Celtics as Joel Embiid exploded with 52 points and 12 rebounds plus James Harden provided a good help as well for contributing 20 points and 10 assists which brings them to a combined score of 72 points. That's already three-fourths of the Boston Celtics total score, it was a good game though. Didn't saw it coming, really.

[Botnake]

The Warriors are looking formidable as the playoffs draw near. If they continue to win their upcoming games, they will secure a playoff spot in the top 6. Even without home court advantage in the first round, their road record shouldn't be an issue in a best-of-seven series, especially with Wiggins expected to play in the playoffs.

By the way, does anyone here believe that the Warriors will win back-to-back? I believe the championship odds now is currently at +1100

[boltz]

Well well , it seems Bulls finally managed to save the season and clinch a playoff spot even if they are not a real contender for the finals. Honestly , I don't even see them having a deep tournament in play offs but would be actually lovely to see them fighting for Conference finals.

Meanwhile , Lakers are in a row! They have 4 winning streak and with how are they playing right now , they do look like a real contender for finals. It depends if they can sustain this in playoffs as well.

Yeah, it was fun to watch the Warriors, you just have to trust them that they will make a huge run in the last two quarters and that's what they did here. Jordan Poole was the man in the fourth quarter, but Steph may have put the dagger with that 3 to push their lead. It was a suffocating defense on their side, with Draymond and then Looney with the offensive rebounds. And Donte and GPII when they both played in the floor, is a beauty to see them play defense.

My T'Wolves live betting:



While the Jazz give the Lakers all they can take and force an OT. Here is my live betting parlay with the Over and Warriors winning:



For the Nuggets, they lost to the Houston Rockets, live betting here:



While I was able to get Memphis at -1.5 when they are down in the fourth or the score is tied at 96-96 (it was very ugly at the start of the fourth quarter hehehe).

I really knew that the Warriors will do what they are doing on their home. Being down double digits at one point then in the 2nd half, they will make a comeback and winning. They did it against the Blazers, they again did it against the Pelicans, and now they did it against the Thunder. They are down double digits on the halftime, but went on winning by double digits. I put my bet on them twice because I felt that they will make a comeback in the 2nd half, and they really did. Congratulations to all of us winners.


Poole and Curry combined for 64 points, while their bench scored 42 points in total. It's always good to see Looney out there fighting for rebounds. I mean if you watch the game, you always see him fighting for rebounds, and that's the reason why the shooters of the Warriors can just shoot threes if needed because they know that they have Looney who can get offensive rebounds like in this game where he got 4 offensive rebounds. I guess the team that will face the Warriors in the first round should be having a hard time defeating them. They played on this one without Klay Thompson, and they still got the victory.

[boltz]

I will try my luck once again on NBA after 1 week break where I just watched highlights and some games here and there during the weekend.

For tonight , I had this baby bet already placed with a very small stake but ...I can't trust my picks on NBA as much as I did last season.



Skeptical a bit about Mavs and their recent performances but I do hope and believe they are up to put up a great game and take that W.

[wheelz1200]

Host of games on tonight got in on 3 so far:

Knicks -4.5 julius and brunsen are out but I think they still have enough to take this down

Boston -3 at home
Bucks -7.5 at home

I still like both as the top 2 teams in the east should at least get 1 of the 2 right!

Looking at some over unders and also considering taking the kings on the road in Dallas getting 6.5. Unsure since Dallas should be playing desperate here.

Either way good luck everyone

[morvillz7z]

∆ J. Brown 25+ points / J. Brown 5+ rebounds @1.92 ∆   won


It sucks that everyone is being ruled out/rested, leaving no one to bet on...the next few days are going to be extremely difficult to find good plays/spots.

Celtics in particular will be without Tatum, Smart, and Horford today, which means J. Brown will be their #1 option on offense. He played twice last month without Tatum and finished 32/13 and 41/13, averaging 28 FG attempts. I'm banking on the sheer volume Brown is going to receive on offense, 25-30FGA range is not to be taken lightly. Raptors are middle of the pack in DefRtg /L3, so nothing too concerning there.

[Ziskinberg]

It seems that many of the top teams today are not playing at full capacity due to some star players being out. Therefore, I have a feeling that we will see several underdogs winning their games. The only game that is uncertain is the Lakers vs Clippers, as this will undoubtedly be the most crucial game of the season, as the winner will secure a playoff spot.

[danherbias07]

This win recover my loss on Blackjack.  

Nice! Congratulations brother.

While I was able to get Memphis at -1.5 when they are down in the fourth or the score is tied at 96-96 (it was very ugly at the start of the fourth quarter hehehe).

Woohoo, bonus! I am glad someone caught that. I think I was busy watching another game when that happened.
@LogitechMouse, very nice! Many of us won that Warriors bet.

LA Clippers versus LA Lakers coming up. Injury reports tell a lot of injuries on the Lakers' side while after checking the props I saw their trio available to bet for. Lebron, AD, and DLo.
But I do believe Westbrook will push his limits on this game because this win will be a critical part of the safe position in the playoffs. The same goes with Kawhi especially without PG13 yet to help them.
I will go with the Clippers -3.5 bet.

The LA Clippers are in control of the game now. Although the Lakers had a decent comeback in the third quarter, the Clippers are starting strong in the fourth. The game is not over yet, but based on the current trend, it appears that the Clippers may win and cover the spread.

Lakers try but Clippers doesn’t gave them an opportunity to recover until the end. It was a great back and forth match but Clippers continue to out score them whenever they are already recovering. Every players of Clippers contributed whenever they need someone to stop the momentum of Lakers. I want to commend Hyland for giving a relentless score on the last quarter when the time that Lakers is on the momentum of closing the gap. I think Lakers will win this game if Clippers doesn’t have an answer to Lakers aggression because Lebron and AD are monster when they are needed.

I was supposed to bet for Lakers +10.5 and AD to score over 16.5, I’m sure that I place my bet but it turns out that the odds change which cancel my bet. This is sucks because I thought that I already won when I login my sportsbook account. All my intense cheers goes nothing in the end.

Sorry for your mistake. It can happen to anyone, as I have experienced something similar. It's crucial to double-check our bets after submitting them.
I had high hopes for the Lakers to fight until the end, but the Clippers regained control in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers were unable to mount a comeback win. The Clippers deserve the win, they played hard tonight and effectively managed Westbrook's minutes, which prevented him from making mistakes at the end.

By the way, I won my bet on the Lakers over 112.5. I placed it at halftime.
