NBA 2023-2024 betting

Milwaukee Bucks - Sacramento Kings - Milwaukee Bucks (-3.5) Back-to-back games for Milwaukee but I don't think they are going to pass a home game. Plus, Khris Middleton had been playing on a high level so I guess they could still cover that spread.

Middleton is probably out for the Bucks, but I still like them to cover the spread when the Kings have only beaten weaker teams like the Hornets, Pistons, and Hawks.

Bucks had lots of lapses this game, although they were at point took a good lead but they allowed the Kings to come back from a double digit deficit. This game even went to overtime, and Kings led early, but DAME TIME destroyed the spread, although they won but it was only 1 point, if that went to another OT, bucks might have win and covered.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers ML @1.78 I don't why it's like that considering how the Clippers had been playing on a high level. Well, I'll take it and the only reason I see maybe is from the travel problem.

If I had to pick this match, i'd also pick the Clippers, but they're on point with the toss-up odds.

Despite their inconsistent form, the Timberwolves don't simply lose at home (15-2) and the Clippers can be vulnerable on the road like how they lost to the Lakers last week.

Timberwolves won by the way, looks like it was hard to guess the winners today.

Unfortunately, Bucks weren't able to manage in covering this handicap, as they win the game in OT for just single point.

Timberwolves manage to protect the home advantage, they win the game and let the fans enjoy especially those who back them up
and place bet both ML and Hndicap.

Yeah, crap. I guess they are exhausted, or it's because Middleton was not there. That was supposed to be a good win and I am expecting at least a 7 to 10-point lead at the end of the game. Well, shit happens, and that's now.
Here are my results for the games yesterday.

Denver Nuggets - Indiana Pacers - Denver Nuggets (-10.5) - Lost! Nuggets won by just 8 points.
Miami Heat - Charlotte Hornets - Miami Heat (-5.5) - Win. Yeah, just like I predicted, they still have Bam, Herro, Robinson, and of course Jaime Jaquez Jr. who contributed 15 points.
Milwaukee Bucks - Sacramento Kings - Milwaukee Bucks (-3.5) - Lost!
Minnesota Timberwolves - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers ML Lost! That was some game from the Antman! Amazing.
Portland Trail Blazers - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) Win! Just enough to cover the spreads. 11 point lead from the Phoenix Suns.

Later, 11 games! Rawr! Another feast for the parlay makers.
Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers are the teams that will be playing back-to-back games. Do consider that in your bets.
Here are my early picks.
Philadelphia 76ers - Houston Rockets - Philadelphia 76ers (-5.5) 14-6 record at home for the 76ers but they are playing without their star Embiid. But, I saw them still winning games. Embiid is questionable to play but that spread seems to tell that he will play. I hope so.
Dallas Mavericks - New Orleans Pelicans - Dallas Mavericks (5.5) Doncic is doubtful, Jones Jr. is probable, and so does Kleber. But, Kyrie is playing like a superstar although they had a bad loss against the Pelicans.
New York Knicks - Orlando Magic - New York Knicks (-4.5) - Knicks are strong, they just need to focus more on their defense. When they deleted those 18 points led against the Mavs, I was shocked. They are not to be messed with on clutch times.
Memphis Grizzlies - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-5.5) Steph is back, time to win games again.

Good luck everyone.

[Yamifoud]

The Lakers vs OKC game is quite interesting. It's only 1.5 where the Lakers are a slight favorite.

As per injury report, SGA and Davis are both questionable, but I doubt they'll miss this game, especially the Lakers who badly need a win.
This is a battle of a red hot team vs a struggling team LA.

Their last 10 games record are as follows using the W-L format.

OKC 8-2
LA 3-7

==========

My pick here would be the LA Lakers -1.5. I'm going with a desperate team, hopefully refs will call as many fouls they can so OKC will complain like the Raps.

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my bets and predictions for games today,

Washington Wizards VS Detroit Pistons

The stake odds for this game are 1.45 for the Washington Wizards and 2.80 for the Detroit Pistons, right now Johnny Davis, has an Illness and is questionable if he can play for the Wizards Marvin Bagley III, and Isaiah Livers can not play for the Washington Wizards because of Coach's Decision while Malcolm Cazalon, and Bojan Bogdanovic both is questionable if they can play for the Pistons, Mike Muscala, Danilo Gallinari, Monte Morris, and Cade Cunningham all can not play for the Detroit Pistons and so because there are many injuries for the Pistons, while the Washington Wizards still have their main key players, for this game my pick is the Washington Wizards,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 3.45 for the Memphis Grizzlies and 1.33 for the Golden State Warriors, right now Jaren Jackson Jr., and Santi Aldama, are both questionable if they can play for the Grizzlies, Jake LaRavia, Derrick Rose, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart, and Brandon Clarke can not play for the Memphis Grizzlies, Ja Morant and Steven Adams are Out for the season, while Moses Moody, Chris Paul and Gary Payton II are all can not play for the Golden State Warriors so for this game the Memphis Grizzlies as many injuries and their key main players Ja Morant is out for this season for sure my pick for this game is non other than Golden State Warriors,

Utah Jazz VS Indiana Pacers

The stake odds for this game are 1.37 for the Utah Jazz and 3.20 for the Indiana Pacers, right Utah Jazz doesn't have any injuries while Aaron Nesmith has a Lower leg injury and is questionable if he can play for the Pacers, and Tyrese Haliburton has a Hamstring Expected to be out until at least Jan 25, can not play for the Indiana Pacers, for this game, it is not expected that Haliburton will be injured like this and without him, the play for the Indiana Pacers are different, without him, while Utah Jazz is a great team now and is at their 100% going in this game so my pick is the Utah Jazz,

I'm taking the other side of that with okc but I have it as okc -1.5.  The Lakers don't look good at all right now.  I feel like they are gonna have to make a move for someone else this team just doesn't cut it night in and night out.  Also taking Memphis at home getting 8.5 against the Warriors.  Warriors stink on the road and even if they win don't think it will be by much.

[Baofeng]

Celtics vs Raptors, I'm not going on the handicap for this game, but go with the Over 237.5. Reports says that Jaylen Brown is questionable though, so we might have to look at if if we are going to bet on the handicap.

Jazz vs Pacers, Indiana is playing and winning without Haliburton, but the Jazz have their own winning streak as well. So I will go with them at -6.5 @1.84.

Best of luck!!

[ralle14]

Bucks had lots of lapses this game, although they were at point took a good lead but they allowed the Kings to come back from a double digit deficit. This game even went to overtime, and Kings led early, but DAME TIME destroyed the spread, although they won but it was only 1 point, if that went to another OT, bucks might have win and covered.

The Kings didn't want to let go and I thought the Bucks would surely cover when I saw them leading by double digits in the fourth quarter. 

I'll also take the Jazz spread since they've been dominating at home and have one of the best records in covering spreads (15-4), while the Pacers are expected to regress without Haliburton.

Jazz have been very good lately having got all their injured players back, and they're one of the teams playing beyond expectation recently, and the streak should continue against the Pacer, I'd agree!

-7.5 for Utah Jazz sound pretty cool, so I'll be tailing you on that!

I've also got Oklahoma City Thunder -1.5 against the Lakers @ 1.89

GL!

[Getmon]

Celtics vs Raptors, I'm not going on the handicap for this game, but go with the Over 237.5. Reports says that Jaylen Brown is questionable though, so we might have to look at if if we are going to bet on the handicap.

Despite the absence of Jaylen Brown, the handicap remained unattractive, primarily as a result of the ongoing losing streak of the Raptors. The Raptors are also included in the teams at the bottom ranks. However, it is unexpected that the game was low scoring, particularly for the Celtics, a team that has a lot of scoring choices.

Jazz vs Pacers, Indiana is playing and winning without Haliburton, but the Jazz have their own winning streak as well. So I will go with them at -6.5 @1.84.

Best of luck!!

The level of Jazz is on a different level recently, I do not have an idea what sort of spirit went into the team. But the team has a high record of winning at home better than most of the teams and it is unnoticed.

Currently, I am hanging tight for my last wager, a - 3.5 on the Thunder. The Lakers take a nine point lead after breaking through the close scoring.

[Questat]

I've also got Oklahoma City Thunder -1.5 against the Lakers @ 1.89

I can understand why the OKC Thunder loss in this game.

Based on my observation, it seems like everyone was rooting for OKC. Line opened up at +4.5 for OKC and ended up -3, this could only mean one thing, bettors does not believe that OKC will win. So I took the initiative to follow my analysis and it paid off.

Lakers won, Lebron and AD consistent as usual, but the good thing is that the supporting cast played well.

Russell 14, Reaves 13, Hachimura 12, and wood 11. Hopefully they already figured out how to create a good rotation.

[YuginKadoya]

Not a good game for me I just got 1 win out of 3, now here are the results of my bet and prediction for today's game,

Washington Wizards VS Detroit Pistons SCORE 117 - 129 - LOST

I really thought that the Washington Wizards would win this game but the Detroit Pistons got it solid and Jordan Poole even though he played 32 mins in this game he just got 16 points for this game, for this game Detroit Pistons Jalen Duren had a double-double of 19 rebound and 20 points Jaden Ivey got 24 points and Alec Burks got 34 points and two 2-digit score for this team that got them this total score, against the Washington Wizards.

Memphis Grizzlies VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 116 - 107 - LOST

I was shocked that the Grizzlies have got this without their main players for this team but for sure many Warriors fans now are in their loss and they are not consistent anymore and keep on losing, Jaren Jackson Jr. got 18 points, GG Jackson III got 23 points, and Vince Williams Jr. got 24 points for sure the Golden State Warriors underestimate the Memphis Grizzlies.

Utah Jazz VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 132 - 105 - WIN

This is a one-sided match and because Tyrese Haliburton was not on the team and the Pacers didn't what to do, and because the Utah Jazz was all over the place, but for this game I was not wrong in picking the Utah Jazz because right now Jordan Clarkson got 17 points, Keyonte George got 19 points, Collin Sexton got 30 points, and Lauri Markkanen has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 32 points for this game.

[Hypnosis00]

We have 3 games only tomorrow, and here's my picks.

1) Nuggets +4

Sure Embiid is back, he scored 41 points on their win against the Rockets, but they are against the defending champion now. Sixers coming from a back to back game, I believe there's still a little fatigue factor compared to the well rested Nuggets.

Sixers doesn't really have an impressive home record, only 15-6 (spreads all covered), so If this will be a close game and they will still win, I believe Nuggets will cover.


2) Kings +5

Coming from a disappointing lose against Bucks, this time they'll play more mature basketball, and might likely win against an inconsistent Suns.

3)Clippers-5.5

Clippers loss to Wolves on their road games, now playing at home and will try to bounce back. So I think it will be a big win by the Clippers against OKC who suffered a loss against the Lakers, also OKC is on a b2b game.

I'm going Nuggets, Suns, Clippers all to win.  It's a tough call today though.  It could easily go the opposite way.  The only game I feel somewhat good about is the Clippers beating the Oklahoma City Thunder.  I'm hoping the Suns are starting to hit their stride and can beat the Kings, but admittedly they don't match up the greatest against Sacramento, so that game might come down to how well Sabonis plays.  The Nuggets and the 76ers will be close too, but I think it's the Nuggets game to lose.

Clippers loss to Wolves on their road games, now playing at home and will try to bounce back. So I think it will be a big win by the Clippers against OKC who suffered a loss against the Lakers, also OKC is on a b2b game.

I've also got the Clippers spread because of the home advantage, but still, OKC can keep it close if they can have a better shooting day compared to the Lakers game, as they're one of the teams that continues to find success while they're at a disadvantage(4-1 on b2b games).

I hope OKC can make it easy for us, but they're still a team that can surprise us with an upset on the road despite losing games they could've won.

[Dave1]

It looks like some of you might have gotten some games last night. I was out yesterday so I wasn't able to put any bet.

I'm taking the Sixers ML against the Nuggets at this home court, currently the odds is @1.83. I think this is already a very attractive odds for a ML and game between two top teams.

Suns vs Kings, another great game, I'll pick the Suns in a close match, -2.5 @1.74.

[danherbias07]

Damn, I still have not won a good parlay yet.

Philadelphia 76ers - Houston Rockets - Philadelphia 76ers (-5.5) - Won! Oh yeah! Thank you Embiid.
Dallas Mavericks - New Orleans Pelicans - Dallas Mavericks (5.5) - Won! Kyrie! My man!
New York Knicks - Orlando Magic - New York Knicks (-4.5) - Lost! Well, that was unexpected. Randle was not that offensive in this game.
Memphis Grizzlies - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-5.5) - Lost! This was a shitty game for the Warriors and a good one for the Memphis bench. I watched the whole game and they found their offensive guys through GG Jackson and Vince Williams Jr.

Congratulations to all the winners yesterday.
I backed the Jazz and had a good win, it was fun watching them play.

Later 3 games only.
The 76ers playing back-to-back, so you might want to reconsider the bets or the spreads.
Here are my picks.
Philadelphia 76ers - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML Like I said 76ers are playing back-to-back so might as well try to bet for the other team which ain't an average one.

Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings - Phoenix Suns (-2.5) - The Suns may want to continue their winning streak while their stars are all healthy so they can rise to the rankings. Bradley Beal had been playing in good condition so take advantage of it while he is still hot.

Los Angeles Clippers - Oklahoma City Thunder - Los Angeles Clippers (-3.5) I failed to win my bet for the Clippers last time, I hope this time it will be different. Don't underestimate OKC because they are also a strong team.

Good luck everyone.

[Russlenat]

I'm taking the Sixers ML against the Nuggets at this home court, currently the odds is @1.83. I think this is already a very attractive odds for a ML and game between two top teams.

Congrats, good pick. Sixers won the game and covered the spread, ML is the safest though.
Embiid took over, he just proved to Jokic that he is more deserving to win the season MPV award. But with the numbers he missed, not sure if he is still qualified, but a win is a win, it's a big win as what we witnessed is a possible championship rivals.

Suns vs Kings, another great game, I'll pick the Suns in a close match, -2.5 @1.74.

I thought this game is already over for the Suns. Kings were in control of the game, even in the 4th, but damn Suns, they are in business, they make perfect plays in the 4th and their good 3 point shooting was the key for the comeback win. However, you fall short by .5, you lose your bet.


@Hypnosis00, great handicapping due, 2/3 is not bad all.

[Hypnosis00]

@Hypnosis00, great handicapping due, 2/3 is not bad all.

Thanks, though I lose on the Nuggets but I still feel good with my handicapping, LOL. Let's see if I would still be able to finish profitable on the next one.

So on the upcoming games, I'm still making 3 picks, and I just need 2 to be profitable.

1- Jazz -4.5 - Not much explanation needed on this one, Jazz has been hot now, so I'm just riding the train.

2-Lakers -3 - I'm hoping that they already found their rthym after a big win against OKC. It doesn't matter if Doncic will play, Lakers can still match them because they are complete and Roy has played already.

3- Toronto ML - They are in a losing streak right now with 4, so they need to get back in the game. I think this is the game where they can win, although Miami is also good on the road but I feel they Raptors can compete and can beat them.

[danherbias07]

Philadelphia 76ers - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML - Lost! Crappy day for the Nuggets, I thought they can take advantage of the fact that the 76ers are playing back to back but they cannot. What is lacking? Like Coach Michael Malone said, "Defense!"

Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings - Phoenix Suns (-2.5) - Lost by spreads. The Suns did a great job coming from behind. 18 point lead or 20 of the Kings if I remember it right. They chipped it slowly with a 32-8 run, Grayson Allen, Bradley Beal, Booker, and KD, all these guys helped each other to claim the win. Big mistake by Fox for fouling KD in the last seconds of the game.

Los Angeles Clippers - Oklahoma City Thunder - Los Angeles Clippers (-3.5) - Won. The Clippers are just too strong but I do love how the OKC Thunder played against them, they are strong too.
We have 10 games later.
Here are my picks.
Detroit Pistons - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-10.5) - Antman is questionable to play but I believe they can still manage to defeat the worst team in the East.
Boston Celtics - San Antonio Spurs - Boston Celtics (-13.5)
Toronto Raptors - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-1.5) - Heat one of the hottest teams at their 3rd winning streak.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-2.5) - The Cavs are on their 5th winning streak but the Bucks are also hungry and right now on their 3rd winning streak.
New Orleans Pelicans - Charlotte Hornets - New Orleans Pelicans (-10.5) - After that lost against the Mavericks, I bet the Pelicans want revenge, this should be an easy win for them.

Good luck everyone.
