NBA 2023-2024 betting

[ralle14]

Bettors of Nuggets was probably praying Jokic would miss.  

Only us bettors with the -3.5 or higher handicap were hoping for that miss. Most of the Nuggets bettors were relieved it landed, as the initial handicap was -2.5 points.

Brooklyn Nets - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-3.5) I don't know if this is a steal or not. I don't see any injury reports from the Thunder team. It looks like they are being underestimated.

I have the same thoughts about their handicap against the Nets, it's unexpectedly low when both teams are heading in the opposite direction, or maybe we're leaning heavily on OKC due to their recent form.

The bookies could be expecting the Nets to put up a close match as they've already had close losses against decent teams (Bucks, Nuggets, Clippers) in their previous home matches.



Edit: My OKC ticket is dead, and the bookies are on point with this one.

[Getmon]

I would've liked the Warriors if the handicap was a few points higher, given that Green is still suspended. Going for an obvious play and that's the Nuggets to cover the handicap since the Warriors recently struggled against weaker teams.

Everyone was probably betting on the Nuggets. More money was entering for the Nuggets bet as evidence by the line movement. Line opened at -2.5 now it's already at -4. However, I still like the Nuggets here since they were playing impressive basketball ^{(X the blowout loss to OKC)}, they are 8-2 on their last 10 and they have a decent road record, same with the Warriors record on their home court.

Good luck bro!

Nuggets did not cover the handicap. When they are matched with the best teams, the Warriors can step up their game and nobody can take them for granted. I learned not to wager when they demolished the Boston Celtics last month.

But the Nuggets won by three. Nikola Jokic hits a buzzer from 40 feet behind. The pro Warriors audience was briefly taken in silence by their disbelief that the match just ended without overtime.

What an incredible match! The Warriors have missing members of the squad however they played well and took us by surprise.

That was unbelievable for Jokic, it was a shot that 90% will not went in, but it happen. It was a complete come back and it only happen in the 4th quarter, that's how dangerous the Nuggets are. And to the Warriors, they have in this situation many times that they take a good lead, a very comfortable lead but end up losing because they can't sustain their energy on the last quarter.

If that didn't go to OT, Nuggets will still likely to win as they already have the momentum, and there's also a chance that the spread will be covered.

Bettors of Nuggets was probably praying Jokic would miss. 

I cannot quit pondering the match. How the Nuggets had managed the lead and won. The Warriors were robbed of a victory, as you said, they lack the energy and cannot adapt to that of the Nuggets.

I was afraid to wager opposing the Warriors and I would not pick any teams clashing with the defending champions. I jumped and shouted when Jokic sunk the buzzer shot. But you are correct, that was an unbelievable shot for Jokic. Not making it could be over 90%. Everyone anticipated overtime, and I agree that the Nuggets having momentum can compensate for the handicap.

indiana pacers vs atlanta hawk
An easy match for the indiana pacers. until half time or the second quarter ends the indiana pacers have won 24 points 80-56. currently the indiana pacers are ranked 5th in the eastern conference while the atlanta hawks are ranked 10th.
with a 24 point lead I think the indiana pacers will win this match. but the ods are really small at only 1.02

It's a massive blowout across a busy night in the NBA today, I really hate this kind of night with early blowout, you get players sitting out entire 4th Quarter right after sitting out half of the 3rd too, and players Over/Under 35 points ends the game with just 15 or thereabout and average 35 minutes guys getting barely over 20 minutes.

[danherbias07]

Damn, the Golden State Warriors almost lost that game against the Detroit Pistons. They had a good 11-point lead despite the bad start of both Klay Thompson and Steph Curry. Thankfully, Steph Curry opened up his 5th gear and started becoming a monster on his distance shots. That's how the greatest three-point shooter performs in crucial moments. Sadly, all the starting spreads were not covered. That is -10.5 if I remember it correctly.

Here are my results for today.

Indiana Pacers - Atlanta Hawks - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) Won! Big time. The Pacers blew out the Hawks by 34 points.
Brooklyn Nets - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-3.5) Lost. Wow, That was unexpected. So that's why the spreads are low.
Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers (-3.5) Lost. Very unfortunate.
Chicago Bulls - Charlotte Hornets - Charlotte Hornets (10.5) Lost. 13-point lead by the Bulls. Close but still a loss.
New Orleans Pelicans - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers ML Won. Yeah, I was right. The Clippers are still hot.

2/5 on my early bets. Bad. Luckily I took the Suns' bet to split it. But I lost one more bet for the Warriors as they didn't cover the spread. 
Congratulations to all the winners today.

The result for my Bet and prediction for game Yesterday, here is the result for my bet on Yesterday's game,

Denver Nuggets VS Orlando Magic SCORE 120 - 122 - LOST

The Orlando Magic got a great start but the Denver Nuggets had already foiled their plan and soiled and made a very unlikely lead 1st half ended with the Nuggets leading the game, and with that, I thought that the Nuggets would win this but the magic tied the game in the 4th quarter, and it was a close game for the Nuggets and the Magic, it was a tied game until the lead has gone down to 2 where the magic is in the lead it was Jamal Murray that are getting to tie the game but it was a missed and so the game ended with the Magic won the game, Cole Anthony got 23 points, Jalen Suggs got 27 points and Paolo Banchero has a triple-double of 10 rebounds 11 assist and 32 points,

Houston Rockets VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 95 - 122 - WIN

The Houston Rockets might have had a great start but it was a clear win for the Minnesota Timberwolves from the 1st half to the 2nd half the Rockets could not make any lead at all it was a highlight show for the Timberwolves because from their lead on the 1st quarter, they didn't let the Rockets got another lead and for this game, the Timberwolves, both Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels got 16 points, Karl Anthony Towns got 22 points and Anthony Edwards got 24 points,

Golden State Warriors VS Detroit Pistons SCORE 113 - 109 - WIN

Well, even though the Golden State Warriors won this game it was a close call for them to lose this game aswell, but the Golden State Warriors refused to give the win to the other team, the 4th quarter is proven for the Warriors, and that the team becomes very great within this time, and for sure Steve Kerr has given more minutes to Jonathan Kuminga but still 11 points for him is not that worthy, with this, Dario Saric has 17 points, Klay Thompson, got 11 points, and Stephen Curry that is 26 points,

Sacramento King VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 135 - 130 - WIN

The Sacramento Kings got a decent amount of lead until the 4th quarter when the Toronto Raptors decided that they could make a turnaround, but still, the Sacramento Kings didn't let the Toronto Raptors take any lead any further and the Sacramento Kings managed to stop the goaler, Harrison Barnes got 16 points, Keegan Murray has a double-double of 12 rebounds and 18 De'Aaron Fox got 24 points while Domantis Sabonis has a triple-double of 15 rebounds 11 assist, and 24 points,

[livingfree]

…

While we still count his contribution to the team but everyone has their prime passing. It's just sad for Kuminga and did he released a statement regarding that last match? he's upset that he wasn't utilized to his best shape during that match.

I won't even say that was a crucial one because that's obviously already a win for them but then, look at how the five played on the floor. They're like they're the one that's chasing instead of them being chased.

Not too cool to see on how they've responded with the come back of Nuggets. It should have been prevented with proper players on the floor and Kerr didn't do any actions or when he did, it's too late.

While I haven’t read of the statement made by Kuminga, it really can’t be nothing but an extremely bad PR for his young career, we all see Jordan Poole say he’s playing Basketball for the first time without after left Warriors, you can imagine the level of pressure that is required of these young ones to be able to get a chance in an historic roster such as that of the Warriors, and it’s feels like they just can’t do enough to please Kerr even when public are obviously seeing it differently, what’s wrong with Moses Moody, Saric, even Trayce, I mean Draymond isn’t available right but these still aren’t getting their deserved playing time.

I guess that it's already on social media on what he said because he's not used to his maximum potential. Is he eligible to ask and get traded for the other teams?

Kerr really has to give chance to everybody and as JK said that it's like the tradition whenever they get into a crucial play, most of them won't get more playing time and leaves it to the veterans.

What I've read again with the Golden State Warriors is their preparation in trading Chris Paul. If this is going to be a real thing, that's sad for this guy but I guess he'll be utilized and will be used more if partnered with young aspiring superstars.

I'm thinking tonight to place a bet on Pacers ML ( 6th straight consecutive win last night so pretty much I can't bet against them ) but also Knicks who are playing awesome basketball right now and looks like a safe bet. I would have trow a bit of a joker here with Jazz covering the spread points but I can't trust this team while they play away + they really can't guard Embiid.

I like the knocks too but the line is upwards of 10 on the road and the second game of a back to back.  I'm a knicks fan and feel like chucking on them but this feels like a trap game.

What I am loading up on is betting on Philly, embid over 35.5 points and embid over 12.5 points.  After getting slaughter at home last night I kmwo he is going to come out ball dominating.  Can easily see him take 25 shots and 10+ free throws tonight.

[ralle14]

Almost every team playing today is on a back to back, and the only team i'm confident about is the Knicks, as they're hitting threes like prime Warriors yesterday against the Sixers.



I also liked the Pacers against the Celtics, thinking the points are too generous from the bookies, but I don't want to underestimate the Celtics since they only need a good shooting day to break the Pacers' current win streak.

Yeah, no pick would make more sense, especially with the Knicks playing against an horrible Washington Wizard team with no bearing.

I think I fancy the Boston Celtics a lot today too, they're up against a good Indiana Pacers team, but there is a score to settle for them, I hope they don't rely on their usual 3s and zero paint points today.

Philly without Embiid isn't something I'm very confident of, even though I'll back Tyrese Maxey on every props line he's got!

I got Philly to win on the moneyline tonight along with an NFL game. Philly was a big favorite, but without Embiid I was never gonna give the 6 points that the line is. Hoping Maxey can take over the game and get them a win.

This Knicks prediction by @ralle14 was right on the money. They are up 20 points and just slaughtering this Wizards team. 63-43 at the half.
Wish I took them and put them in a solid acca along with my NFL prediction which I am also confident with and currently in-progress at the same time as this NBA match.

Good luck to us both with our NFL pick @yahoo62278

Thanks but currently not looking so good on either bet. Philly down 1 at halftime and the colts down 7-3. Still a long way to go in both but not the start I was hoping for.

I was surprised to see the Wizards making some good runs to come within distance in the 3rd Quarter, but just like they were against te 76ers, the Knicks were quick to quench the fire before it became a wildspread, and closed out the game perfectly.

Pacers vs Celtics was just another interesting encounter as it often is, but there were quite a number of strange circumstances like huge foul troubles, I'd say it took a whole lot of discipline for the Celtics to have won this game with a lot of help from their bench and role players stepping up when it mattered most.

Just like I anticipated; the Utah Jazz were eventually too hot to handle for 76ers without their Big man, Paul Reed did put up a good performance but we all know how much of a void Embiid's impact in this team is for Reed to ever think of filling.

That early run from the Wizards also surprised me as I tuned back to the live feed to see the Knicks only lead by 6 points after getting 20+ points during the first half.

I'm glad I switched my pick and skipped the Pacers because they also had a trend where they struggled on b2b matches.

I'll probably back the Clippers for tomorrow's game as the odds are great @1.60 and i'm always down to fade the Lakers when they've only had a single home win since last month.

What matters though is that they were able to cover the spread. It's a game of run, we should be ready with it. But knowing what the Wizards can do, they'll like not gonna be able to sustain their run, it's a battle of consistency and NYK had that.

I'm glad I switched my pick and skipped the Pacers because they also had a trend where they struggled on b2b matches.

I think it was a nice decision because Pacers were the public play. I mean, getting +7 after they dismantled the Bucks and Hawks, that's very atractive. Nice to know you were clever.

I'll probably back the Clippers for tomorrow's game as the odds are great @1.60 and i'm always down to fade the Lakers when they've only had a single home win since last month.

I believe the Lakers are very desperate to get back winning, so I'm gonna wait for the live and take an ML odds for clippers with 2.00 + or I will bet on the Lakers +4.

Look how foolish I look after all games end. Like , what was I thinking to place a bet on Pacers ? sure , it was a great idea to keep the momentum on their side and place a bet on that winning streak but Celtics really gave them no chance to win. However , I got lucky with Jazz and Knicks but my bet still got ruined by Pacers with pretty decent odds...

[owengtam09]

I haven't made a bet for today's game but here is the result of my bet on Yesterday's game, I was late uploading this so here it is,

Indiana Pacers (1.67) VS Atlanta Hawks (2.27) - WIN


In the early portion of the 1st quarter the Indiana Pacers were dominating this game, so we can say that the Pacers now had a good play for this game they were not rushing even though Tyrese Haliburton was not handling the ball, and that level of cool for the Pacers was incredible in making this game a win for them and a great spread for the team, they even stopped Trae Young in his tracks even though Dejounte Murray got 30 points for this game the spread for the Pacers team was really solid, and Haliburton was really amazing making those plays, Bennedict Mathurin, T.J. McConnell made a double-double, Bruce Brown Jr. and Myles Turner was along the player that did great along with Tyrese Haliburton,

Cleveland Cavaliers (1.20) VS Washington Wizards (4.80) - WIN


The Cleveland Cavaliers were firing up in the 1st half against the Washington Wizards it was a one-sided game for sure Jordan Poole is nowhere to be found in this game it was like he didn't exist at all, Tyus Jones and Bilal Coulibaly was the two that are making a progress with the Washington Wizards but Donovan Mitchell, was the one who is taking the lead for this game, along with Georges Niang, and Jarett Allen was the one that is making the points go up and Caris LeVert was the playmaker for the team, making a double-double towards the game,

Brooklyn Nets (2.75) VS Oklahoma City Thunders (1.48) - LOST


Great signs for Nix Claxton and Spencer Dinwiddie and it was really enough as the OKC Thunders still didn't manage to defeat the Brooklyn Nets, and the Brooklyn Nets made a win without Victor Wembanyama, well, it was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander that made the Thunders got into the action as the Nets provided a great lost against the OKC Thunders it was a solid game but I thought that the OKC would win that is why I go and give a go with  it but was shocked that the Oklahoma City Thunders and a 1 sided game in unbelievable,

[danherbias07]

In 20 minutes one game will start. We have 9 games today.

Here are my picks for today.
Cleveland Cavaliers - San Antonio Spurs - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Surely, the Spurs can sometimes make some miracle because of Wemby but they still lack chemistry with him. That game against the Bucks was cool but they still lost. Devin Vassell is actually the one carrying their offense and I think he will keep that hot rhythm. Still, this is Cavaliers we are talking with Donovan Mitchell on the front lines.

Brooklyn Nets - Portland Trail Blazers - Brooklyn Nets (-10.5) I love how the Nets are playing even without a supreme leader. They are sharing the ball and their performance against the Thunder was amazing, a great upset. I lost my bet there so now I am tailing the Nets.

Sacramento Kings - New Orleans Pelicans - Sacramento Kings (-1.5) Light the beam! 2 win streak. Time to make it three.

Orlando Magic - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks ML - Magic is the favorite but they are going to miss a lot of guys. Franz Wagner is out with an ankle injury and so is Joe Ingles. Bitadze is questionable to play, and so are Fultz and Wendell Carter Jr. They might end up undermanned in this game with Paolo Banchero, Cole Anthony, and Moritz as the able ones to play.

Phoenix Suns - Memphis Grizzlies - Phoenix Suns (-2.5) I still don't believe in the power of the Grizzlies although they won against the Lakers. Offensive power, the Suns will probably dominate.

Good luck everyone.
