NBA 2023-2024 betting

[boltz]

I knew Bulls will smash Lakers last night and I was right. Now , I'm glad I even took a bet with ML on Bulls and 76ers as the payout at @3 odds was kinda great even if I was scared to place more than 10$.

Game of the night for me was Heat who were underdogs in every possible scenario against Orlando and yet , they were around 20+ in front after 3rd quarter and I think if they wanted to , they could have easily put 30+ in front.

Okay, let's get it moving to the upcoming games fellas!

We have some exciting games coming ahead, and based on my taste, these are the games that I like to bet on.

Pelicans vs Cleveland
Indiana vs Memphis
Magic vs  Bucks
Clippers vs OKC
Lakers vs Minnesota

The most anticipated, battle of the worst teams. 

Wizards vs Trail Blazers.


I'm not betting yet, I'll leave that up to you guy. Tell me, what game should we bet and on what team?

[YuginKadoya]

I won 2 of my money lines and I think I am OK with the results as I got 2 wins, for me it is not really that bad,

Toronto Raptors VS Denver Nuggets SCORE 104 - 113 - WIN

I can not say that this is a one-sided game as the Toronto Raptors were not left behind it was just a close-score game for the Raptors but from start to finish the Denver Nuggets were consistently on the lead, and the Toronto Raptors could not do anything about it, even though Scottie Barnes has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 30 points, they can not exceed with their lead against the Nuggets, Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon both got 12 points, Jamal Murray got 20 points and Nikola Jokic has a double-double of 15 rebounds and 31 points,

Chicago Bulls VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 124 - 108 - LOST

Actually, this is a great back-to-back close game for both teams but the Chicago Bulls got their rhythm in the 3rd quarter and they didn't let the Los Angeles Lakers take another lead from there, it was a close game for both teams the Los Angeles Lakers is not far behind they didn't manage to reclaim back their lead LeBron James got a double-double of 10 rebounds and 25 points while both Alex Caruso and Patrick Williams got 15 points, Cody White got 17 points, and DeMar DeRozan got 27 points,

Sacramento Kings VS Boston Celtics SCORE 119 - 144 - WIN

At 1st the Sacramento Kings got a massive lead and they were doing great at the beginning of the game but the Boston Celtics managed to take that lead in the 2nd quarter of this game and after that, the Boston Celtics didn't take that lead off to themselves, as the Sacramento Kings can not make a further lead against the Celtics until the 2nd half of the game Payton Pritchard got 20 points, Jrue Holiday has a double-double of 10 assist and 21 points, Kristaps Porzingis has 24 points, while Derrick White and Jaylen Brown both got 28 points,

[owengtam09]

After that big loss, I will not bet on today's game and will bet on tomorrow's games instead to give me time to think about my losses last time, and this is to maybe change the bet after a while or just focus on tomorrow game instead of making a quick guess in today's game but this is my pick for tomorrows game,

^Congratulations guys.

8 games today. 1 game is about to start. Thankfully I woke up early and I will place my bet now.
Here are my bets for today's games.

Detroit Pistons - Utah Jazz - Detroit Pistons (-1.5) I was about to bet for the Jazz but I checked the injury reports first. Will this be the time that the Detroit Piston wins? It is a homecourt advantage and they are playing against an undermanned team. No, THT, Markannen, and Jordan Clarkson. It's a chance to stop the bleeding.

Cleveland Cavaliers - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-1.5) No, Garland, Mitchell, and Mobley. The Pelicans should take advantage of it.

Chicago Bulls - San Antonio Spurs - Chicago Bulls (-4.5) The Bulls are hot ever since Alex Caruso returned. Will they continue this winning streak? It will be 3 if they win again.

Oklahoma City Thunder - Los Angeles Clippers - No bets yet. Waiting for confirmation if Kawhi Leonard and PG13 will play or not. The Clippers right now are at +5.5, we could take advantage of that or wait for the starting lineup to be announced. It will be sad to see their 9th winning streak being broken because of injuries or load management.

Milwaukee Bucks - Orlando Magic - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5) The Bucks dominance will not be easy to break. They have a healthy roster now and if this keeps on they might get that top spot soon. They are on their 5th winning streak and might go 6 especially while playing at their homecourt. Their fans would love to see how strong they are. Orlando Magic on the other hand is on their 3rd losing streak.

Good luck everyone.

I'm not betting yet, I'll leave that up to you guy. Tell me, what game should we bet and on what team?

I'm on OKC -4.5 because the Clippers might not be in the best shape after playing yesterday against the Mavs, and a few key players like PG and Kawhi could be out.



The Timberwolves spread would've been a good grab because it opened around -6, but it already shifted to -9.5, making the Lakers spread look good.

I'm staying away from the clash of the worst teams, it's too unpredictable.

Too bad for my Sacramento bet against the Celtics, I thought that they can make a comeback and or least cover +7.5. But Boston is too much and it shows it's power against a great team in the West.

I just took the Bulls at -4.5 and I was right about that it's a good bet as the Bulls is riding high on a momentum win and beating the Spurs by almost 20 points.
There could be some games tomorrow night that might be "easier" to predict,

Sixers vs Raptors
Nets vs Nuggets
GSW vs Washington

[danherbias07]

My experiment was not successful. I thought the Detroit Pistons could at least win that game against the weak undermanned Utah Jazz with most of their stars injured.
2 of 4.
Chicago Bulls won and covered the spreads without a problem and just like I thought they were energized from their previous wins.
New Orleans Pelicans also won their game against the undermanned Cleveland Cavaliers.
But, my last game which is for the Bucks didn't cover the spreads. They won but Orlando Magic did not make it easy for them.

Later 6 games.
Philadelphia 76ers - Toronto Raptors - Philadelphia 76ers (-6.5) @1.68 This is fine for me, I won't be greedy and take that -10.5 against the Raptors.

Brooklyn Nets - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-2.5) @1.69 Recently, Denver Nuggets had been playing badly in their second-half games especially if they got the big lead in the first half. Carelessness.
I know it's easy for them to make a score using Jokic but while he is resting they cannot make any good plays.

Golden State Warriors - Washington Wizards - Golden State Warriors (-10.5) @1.69 Win as much as they can, especially against a weaker team. The Warriors defeated a strong Celtics and their confidence might still be there in this game. Plus, they have the homecourt advantage so winning this game is mandatory to build up the fans too.

I just took the Bulls at -4.5 and I was right about that it's a good bet as the Bulls is riding high on a momentum win and beating the Spurs by almost 20 points.

Great decision, betting against the Spurs is the easiest way to win actually. As of now, they are again on a losing streak, currently at 3 but this will increase like the last time.

There could be some games tomorrow night that might be "easier" to predict,

Sixers vs Raptors
Nets vs Nuggets
GSW vs Washington

Sixers vs Raptors, I'll pass, the spread is too high, and I believe Raptors are capable of covering that and even upsetting the Sixers on the road.

And this;

Nets vs Nuggets and GSW vs Washington... I'm all for Nuggets and GSW here, with the spread of course, which is -4.5 and -12 respectively.

Yeah, I think the Nuggets against the Nets, we can take that handicap for the Denver, opening line is -2.5 for them, but I think risking higher at -4.5 is better as we all know that they can easily covered that. Thing with Nets is that they are a good team for the first 3 quarters and suddenly have difficulty to sustain it and so Nuggets might take advantage of it

Of course Warriors playing at home and then against their former player in Poole, gonna be fun. But Curry and Thompson will lead this team and also their new found Draymond Green in Trayce Jackson-Davis. So maybe a double digit win for the Warriors.

Trying to turn my luck back to me today in NBA as last night was really bad so here are my pick for today :

Sixers ML

Heat ML

Denver ML

Odds are not so great but with I'm also thinking to wait for live odds , maybe they will climb a bit up. I also had an idea to trow Suns there but I really can't trust this team , especially when they play against Knicks who are coming after a well deserved victory in Brooklyn.

Not sure about the Heat vs Hawks ML, odds are very close, and the it's -1.5 for the Heat. Denver and Sixers though might be a "sure" win. And if there's a ML that you might want to add, it could be Golden State against the Wizards. But I'm taking GSW at -10.5.

Kings and Suns are tricky, but I have +4.5 for the Suns, they really need that one big win against a good team, and in the road.

[YuginKadoya]

My bets and predictions for games today for the NBA

Philadelphia 76ers VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 1.31 for the 76ers and 3.65 for the Raptors, Patrick Beverley, Robert Covington, and De'Anthony Melton are all questionable if they can play this game for the 76ers Mo Bamba and Nicolas Batum both can not play for the Philadelphia 76ers, while Christian Koloko has an illness and can not play for the Toronto Raptors for this game even though there are many injuries for the 76ers those are not key players for the 76ers so my pick is the Philadelphia 76ers,

Sacramento Kings VS Phoenix Suns

The stake odds for this game are 1.73 for the Kings and 2.16 for the Phoenix Suns, JaVale McGee, and Malik Monk are both questionable if they can play for the Kings, and Alex Len has an Ankle injury and can not play for the Sacramento Kings, while Josh Okogie is questionable if he can play for the Suns, Jusuf Nurkic, Bradley Beal, and Damion Lee all can not play for the Phoenix Suns, for this game the Sacramento Kings even though Malik Monk is questionable I really think that he can still go with this game so my pick is the Sacramento Kings,

Golden State Warriors VS Washington Wizards

The stake odds for this game are 1.15 for the Warriors and 5.80 for the Wizards, Andrew Wiggins, and Brandin Podziemski both are questionable if they can play for the Warriors, Gary Payton II has a Calf Injury and can not play for the Golden State Warriors while Delon Wright, Johnny Davis, and Danilo Gallinari all can not play for  the Washington Wizards for this game It is really obvious on who I am picking and that is the Golden State Warriors,

No doubts odds are not good but still good because I added few teams from soccer as well which are making my parlay very big with good payout is also coming and things are looking good for these all are good.
I was not regular punter on NBA but after watching many things here on this thread and having good results from many posters now following regularly and doing good job, but my personal try for the having own things never give me good response because currently I have no good knowledge of this all.
Just going with NBA teams mostly we have no good odds without spread points, but this one is more risky for the person which having not good knowledge and just following others.

I will put a bet on the Nuggets, and tail you in this one, but i think they can cover at least -4.5 @1.91, (greedy,  ).

Yes, I agree, playing at home Warriors mentality is very different, -9.5 for me at 1.72.

The Sixers and Raptors games are about to start, but I'm skipping on this one, although I think the Sixers will win definitely, it's just a matter on the big is the point spread.

Best of luck to everyone.

[ralle14]

I did the same because the Nets are on a downward trend while the Nuggets are starting to improve on their road form after picking up a few wins recently.

In my view, the Nuggets should blow them out or at least win by double digits, but I guess the bookies have to respect the Nets because they're still one of the best home teams in covering handicaps.

[ChiBitCTy]

I put a few Satoshis down on the Chicago Bulls versus San Antonio Spurs last night.  The bulls (my favorite team) have certainly been a mixed bag of things, but I felt pretty confident with the way they've been playing without Zach Lavine.  I now only wish I had bet more lol.

What is the deal with VICTOR WEMBANYAMA only getting 5 rebounds? I only slightly watched as I had the game on while I was doing other things around the house.  But only 5 boards from him seems crazy.

Lucky greed Dave1!
That was a close game at the end but thankfully the Nuggets somehow won the game with 5 points. That offensive rebound of Murray after the free throw was the real savior.
Congratulations to you too @ralle14! You two both got the exact spread needed and won it.

There are still two games left that are now on halftime. The Sacramento Kings versus the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors versus the Washington Wizards. For those who like to bet, the lines are still open.

Man, I wish the Warriors could get hot in the 3rd quarter. I am at -10.5 and I need them to blowout the Wizards but they are only up by 2 points as of the time of writing this. Steph Curry is 4/8 in three points shots, I think that's a good sign.

2 wins, one more and I get a perfect day again, a great Christmas gift for me.

[btc_angela]

For me it's another loss for the Suns, I wanted to think that they can make it a close game against the Sacramento Kings to over cover + spread. But KD and Booker is not enough, they really need someone to spark coming from the bench.

It's really a different Phoenix team now, and with Nurkic out in this game, Sabonis has a field day and Fox just uses his speed and then easy score after that Euro step either against Allen or Little. I might stay away from betting on them until they got a team below .500 in their next couple of games.

I might stay away from betting on them until they got a team below .500 in their next couple of games.

We can now tell how important Nurkic is to the team, without his size, he can't intimidate attackers on the paint, and as an evident to that, Sabonis were able to take advantage and score 28 points. Although if you look at the statistics, the Suns have outrebounded the Kings with 45-37 advantage but there inside points are just too much coming from the home team.

Durant hand 28, while Booker had 24. I can pretty much say that both had a great game, but as you've pointed out, there's not much help coming from the bench. So I think, it order to keep the bench going, they need to move the ball well and don't just rely too much on Durant and Booker.
