NBA 2024-2025 betting

[Getmon]

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.

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.

Sabonis was practically right on track with his shots. He made the most of the absence of Nurkic and each time he is defended tight it opens the door to his teammates. He is not Jokic but Sabonis this season is becoming a better passer. This is the advantage of a fair offense not like the Suns just depending on Durant and Booker.

The bench truly needs to begin helping so they can win their next matches. The absence of Bradley Beal brought significant misfortune to the team. That athlete is paid a fourth of the team budget and but is always absent from their matches. If it was spent on a quality bench maybe the Suns is not in the bottom.

That wasn't really the biggest problem of the team, Bradley Beal even barely played this season and yet Suns were winning, either with Booker or Durant playing or both of them are on the floor. Let's just say they were struggling now but I'm sure they'll figure that out, they are 3-7 in their last 10, same with the Lakers who are 4-10 and are on a 4 losing streak, but we didn't conclude them as a bad team as whether we like it or not, this team is still a playoff team and I'm sure both teams will qualify this season.

[YuginKadoya]

It perfect Bet for me in this game I was really surprised with how my picked teams were doing great despite their opponent was also a team that could surely get into the playoffs, here is the result it was a juicy win for sure,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 121 - 111 - WIN

The Toronto Raptors got a great start for this game and it was in the 1st quarter that they cemented a great lead in the game however the Philadelphia 76ers were turning the game so much and in the 2nd quarter they decided that enough was enough so they made that lead against the Toronto Raptors that Pascal Siakam did a great job against the Philadelphia 76ers but the 76ers still manage in winning with Joel Embiid double-double of 10 rebounds and 31 points, Tobias Harris got 33 points and Tyrese Maxey double-double of 10 assist and 33 points for this game,

Sacramento Kings VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 120 - 105 - WIN

The Sacramento Kings from start to finish have managed to stay on the lead but it was a close game the Phoenix Suns were close by waiting to take the lead, but the Sacramento Kings didn't allow the Phoenix Suns to manage and get the lead, so it was like a one-sided game but the Suns just didn't get the opportunity in making one herself, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker looks OK but the Sacramento Kings Harrison Barnes got 19 points, Keegan Murray got 21 points, De'Aaron Fox got 23 points and Domantas Sabonis has a triple-double of 11 rebounds 12 assist and 28 points,

Golden State Warriors VS Washington Wizards SCORE 129 - 118 - WIN

The Golden State Warriors got to see Jordan Poole again but the Warriors didn't show any remorse towards Jordan Poole and they got the W to win at 1st the Washington Wizards were gaining momentum at 1st and leading the game but it just lasted during the 1st quarter, because the Golden State Warriors manage to make a great goal lead Jordan Poole managed to get 25 points but because of lack of defense and the presence of Poole with the defense is really lacking you can clearly see that he was just standing there the Warriors won, Trayce Jackson-Davis 15 rebounds and 10 points, Klay Thompson got 20 points, Jonathan Kuminga got 22 points and Stephen Curry non-other got 30 points,

^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.

WOW! Thanks, I got a perfect win on yesterday's game I really never expected that I would make a perfect bet for this game but still it is not a multi-bet because I think it is hard winning with Multibets, but here are the results of my picks for yesterday's game for the NBA,

Brooklyn Nets (2.49) VS Denver Nuggets (1.56) - WIN


Just like I thought the Brooklyn Nets don't really stand a chance against the Nuggets and I have noticed from the start it is not enough what Victor Wembanyama alone can cater on the table, but Wembanyama was injured and can not play on this game that have gotten the Brooklyn Nets into a more dire position as the Denver Nuggets crashed them in the 2nd half, it was the tandem of Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic that made this game win for the Nuggets,

Miami Heat (1.79) VS Atlanta Hawks (2.07) - WIN


It was a close match for these two teams it goes back and forth but the Miami Heat just got many to spare the Miami Heat did win but no thanks to Jimmy Butler, but it was Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro who didn't let the Atlanta Hawks make any adjustment or the Hawks adjusted but it failed on them,

Sacramento King (1.73) VS Phoenix Suns (2.16) - WIN


Now another game that I thought the Phoenix Suns would win but instead the Sacramento Kings did a great job of keeping the lead for themselves it was like Devin Booker was not yet 100% in this game and Kevin Durant wasn't reliable enough to make the lead, but the Kings got many roster that could have potential in the future,  Harrison Barnes, Keegan Murray, De'Aaron Fox and the triple-double of Domantas Sabonis,

[ralle14]

You two both got the exact spread needed and won it.

Thanks. That ending was like a rollercoaster ride from not covering to covering, as the Nets didn't want to let it go until the final minute.

I'll be fading the Lakers today, James and AD still GTD, but I assume they'll play when they always switch it up before the match starts. OKC already beat the Lakers a few weeks ago by double digits and I can't imagine the results will change this time when the Lakers failed against the Bulls a few days ago.



Edit: My OKC ticket is probably dead with the Lakers shooting lights out.

It may be the case that the Suns are simply lost right now. But at the same time, there is the situation that they just succeeded at the beginning of the season because the other teams are just sorting it out. At present, the teams may be sorted out strategies to beat the Durant-Booker reliant Suns.

This squad without a doubt stays as a playoff team. But I can likewise say very similar for the Golden State Warriors. And similar to the Memphis Grizzlies with Ja Morant back to the squad. That makes twelve of them worthy of the playoff which only needs eight.

[Distinctin]

Edit: My OKC ticket is probably dead with the Lakers shooting lights out.

Lakers were on a losing streak so they need to win, to stop the bleeding. I think Lebron was out on the Lakers' previous games but he was in this game and lead his team with 40 points and perfect from beyond the arc with 5/5, that's unusual to him, so that probably also had help the Lakers to win.

It was a roller coaster ride. I even had the thought that the Brooklyn Nets could win that one but Murray was energized and helped out with the Nuggets offense.
Luckily, I also won my last bet for the Warriors yesterday and I hit just the exact spread. -10.5 and the Warriors won by 11. So it's a perfect day for me. 3/3.

I didn't bet any today despite a large number of games listed. 13 games to be exact. Who made a long parlay? I wish you won it for a Christmas gift.
Damn, Grizzlies had been winning their games. They are now on their 3rd winning streak. We must now be careful betting against them. Ja Morant's impact is definitely being recognized.

We don't have games tomorrow but there will be Christmas games the next day.
Good luck to everyone and Happy Holidays.

[Russlenat]

Ja Morant's impact is definitely being recognized.

Memphis is still perfect since he came back, this game he scored 30 points from a very efficient FG percentage.
Looks like the swag Memphis is back, with Ja Morant their leader of course, they might suprise the teams who have a higher standing than them as they are slowly rising now.

We don't have games tomorrow but there will be Christmas games the next day.
Good luck to everyone and Happy Holidays.

We need to have a break for a while, spend time with our family and enjoy our winnings. For those who aren't, at least we can minimize our losses. 

[owengtam09]

Making my early picks for the games Tomorrow it is now Christmas here and the games are getting exciting but I feel like the emotion of players was reset after the In Season Tournament teams changed their pace from getting competitive to being not into it because of the Holidays but well this is just what I am feeling right now but anyway here are my picks for the game in the NBA tomorrow,

[YuginKadoya]

We are having an NBA game Tomorrow and here are my bets and predictions,

New York Knicks VS Milwaukee Bucks

The stake odds for this game are 2.34 for the Knicks and 1.63 for the Bucks, for this game DaQuan Jeffries, is questionable if he can play this game, Mitchell Robinson has an ankle injury and is Out for the season, and Jericho Sims has an ankle injury and can not play for the New York Knicks, while Giannis Antetokounmpo is questionable if he can play for the Bucks, and Jae Crowder can not play for the Milwaukee Bucks, for this game because of those injuries and even if Antetokounmpo can not play this game I still be picking the Milwaukee Bucks,

Denver Nuggets VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 1.39 for the Nuggets and 3.10 for the Warriors, Right now Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Aaron Gordon both are questionable if they can play for this game, Vlatko Cancar has a knee injury and can not play for the Denver Nuggets, while Andrew Wiggins is questionable if he can play for this game while Gary Payton II has a calf injury and can not play for this game right now this is a great opportunity in my opinion for the Warriors to test on what they can really do, and Denver Nuggets is a monster team, so I will risk this bet and go with the Golden State Warriors,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Boston Celtics

The stake odds for this game are 2.25 for the Lakers and 1.68 for the Celtics, for this game Gabe Vincent is questionable if he can play for the Los Angeles Lakers while Luke Kornet, Kristaps Porzingis, and Svi Mykhailiuk are all questionable if they can play for the Boston Celtics, for this game I think that the Lakers is exhausted in their previous game for sure the Boston has a highly chance in winning so my pick is the Boston Celtics,

[Dave1]

I'll go with the Bucks at -3.5 @1.93, I think they can cover this handicap and could be plenty to spare. I think Giannis will play very hard as he knows that many are going to tune in this fight this Christmas, so he will have to show something here.

Same with Boston over Lakers, I will go with -3.5 @1.94. Boston is just too strong for the Lakers as this point. Boston has been covering and even beat a good team with double digit except for the Warriors game wherein they have control of the game, but Curry put in a great number to force OT.

Good luck! But honestly, this is the type of game that I'm gonna avoid. With the Bucks being one of the dominant team in the NBA given only -3.5 against mediocre team? There must be something with it, this is a rematch since they already faced last November23 and the Bucks have dominated them with a 130-111 score, so I hope you'll get this right mate.

Same with Boston over Lakers, I will go with -3.5 @1.94. Boston is just too strong for the Lakers as this point. Boston has been covering and even beat a good team with double digit except for the Warriors game wherein they have control of the game, but Curry put in a great number to force OT.

I agree, the Lakers just recently broken their losing streak, while the Boston Celtics have been winning most of their games, the reason why they are at the number 1 spot now. Although the Lakers have a decent home record, I think it's a non factor against a strong team like Boston.

[danherbias07]

We have games later guys. 5 games to be exact.
One game will start in 30 minutes. Here are my picks for today.

New York Knicks - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-1.5) - I don't know why the spreads are that low, there's no injury report being posted so I am guessing the bookies think that the Knicks can win but I am going for the favorite.

Denver Nuggets - Golden State Warriors - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) Andrew Wiggins is probable to play for the Warriors. Aaron Gordon and Caldwell-Pope are both probable for the Nuggets. Well, as long as they have Jokic, there's still a chance to win. I just wish they can cover the spread.

Los Angeles Lakers - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-1.5) Porzingis questionable for the Celtics. Too many to mention on the Lakers side are in probable and questionable status, including Lebron and AD.

I might take live betting for the other two games.

Good luck everyone.

[Baofeng]

I'll go with the Bucks at -3.5 @1.93, I think they can cover this handicap and could be plenty to spare. I think Giannis will play very hard as he knows that many are going to tune in this fight this Christmas, so he will have to show something here.

Bucks lost the game already, didn't see the game as it was early in the timezone, but it seems that the Knicks started hot in the first quarter and playing good defense on Giannis. Bucks try to comeback in the, but Brunson's torch them with 38 big points.

So obviously, for those who bet on the Bucks, it's a trap again and odd makers know it.

Same with Boston over Lakers, I will go with -3.5 @1.94. Boston is just too strong for the Lakers as this point. Boston has been covering and even beat a good team with double digit except for the Warriors game wherein they have control of the game, but Curry put in a great number to force OT.

Games started with Boston leading, but let's see, it looks like the Lakers are trying to make a comeback in this game.
It's only the first quarter and James is forcing himself in the middle and scoring.

[morvillz7z]

∆ T. Maxey 25+ points / T. Maxey 6+ assists @1.70 ∆  X

Like this spot for Maxey with Embiid missing the game for Philly. Maxey usage rate should be elite tonight. Heat guard play isn't anything to stress about, both Lowry and Herro can't guard him. Sixers likely to have an extra shooter out there which means better spacing for Maxey to work with, assists should be there as well.

Maxey's stats from /L3 look great:

[ralle14]

I also got cooked earlier on the Bucks game, and underestimated the Knicks, thinking they couldn't stop the Bucks for the second time after their one-sided loss a few days ago.

On to the next match, I guess i'll take the Heat to win at home even though they've been a hit or miss. The Heat will be without Butler, while the Sixers won't have Embiid, but I still see them beating the Sixers because they haven't won yet without Embiid in their lineup.

[Russlenat]

I think you are not alone, bettors would just bet on the Bucks that game as they were the better team, and the spread aren't high, so it's so enticing.

On to the next match, I guess i'll take the Heat to win at home even though they've been a hit or miss. The Heat will be without Butler, while the Sixers won't have Embiid, but I still see them beating the Sixers because they haven't won yet without Embiid in their lineup.

Great win on this gone, Triple JJJ take his game to the next level, I think he had a career high in this game with 31 points and 11 rebounds, and take note, that was 11-15, shooting, this kid doesn't play like a rookie anymore.

----

maybe people will stop comparing Chet and Wemby on the rookie ladder as JJJ is going to take over them.

Yes, bookies really are good at doing this spread, I mean we have seen that the Heat is becoming the favorite in this game, but still we don't believed and put our bet on the Sixers. And then later we found out that Embiid is not going to play hence that spread on the Bucks. So I'm one of those who fall for the trap as well. I even have seen someone, we compare notes and both of us have the Sixers. But the game is early like 1 am in our timezone but he watch the game and keep on messaging me as the progress of the game. But when I wake up, Bucks already lost. Might stay conservative at the games today, Nets vs Detroit, I'm going with Brooklyn at -5.5 at 1.78

[el kaka22]

I really hoped that Lebron would have provided something special for Christmas sake, he is a good player that can do something special, like pull a rabbit out of a hat type of player and can get something, but turns out it didn't happen that way.

Sometimes you just have to watch your bet go to waste and there is nothing you can do about it, you just have to let it be and you just have to act like that is normal and there is nothing wrong with it, and I understand why that may feel that way, because watching a game you know you are going to lose is not an easy thing to do, not a lot of people can enjoy that, and I didn't neither so I closed after I realized there was no way coming back from that deficit and just went to bed instead.
