NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Maslate]

You actually don't need to buy points on that game because they dominated the Sacramento Kings with 26 points victory. It was the defense of the Cavaliers that was really impressive, they are as hot as the Clippers but Mitchell is playing differently, he trust his teammates more now and they are cooperating with their leader.

Max Strus has been huge, score 22 points (made 6-10 beyond the arc). This guy could have help Miami if they did sign him.

Today's bet was stress-free and on top of the solid defense, they had a better three-point shooting percentage.

The Knicks' spread is tempting for tomorrow. They'll be facing the Grizzlies, who have 10+ players out from their lineup, and i'm still debating if I should live bet them or go for it this early before the odds start moving.

Go with the pregame odds I suggest. Now it's -13.5 but as you mentioned, they are so undermanned and we witnessed how the Grizzlies played last game. Knicks aren't happy with their last game, so most likely they'll have a strong bounce back game tomorrow and I can see an easy 20+ points victory.

The line movement says a lot about the chance of the Knicks to win the game. As they experience their loss after a good win streak, they are going to restart again and it will start tomorrow. I'm seeing the Knicks that is playing like a machine, everyone that is called to play are contributing and against an undermanned team, it's no surprise at all if they'll have this a blowout win. The line might be high but honestly I believe this is easiest bet to pick among the games on the board.

Aside from that game, I also like the Phoenix Suns -4. Bucks has been on and off lately and Doc Rivers had only won 1 game since he took over the coaching job, while the Suns has been hot lately. Last time, Beal scored 41 points, and that showed that anyone from the big 3 could have a big game.

If the Jazz were able to beat them, for sure Suns will do more than that.

They seemed to be playing great recently but I'm not impressed with their record.

Home record is only 13-11 but they are 7-17 ATS.

My NBA picks for today was:

First:

LA Lakers (-8) - LOST
Cavaliers (-2) - WIN
Nets MW - LOST

I've never expected the Lakers to win against the Hornets with a single-digit lead. Especially with Lamelo Ball out of the lineup. In the last match between the Lakers and Hornets, the Lakers did have a blowout win. Lakers do have a 16-point lead in the half, so I think that the -8 spread is winnable, but checking the game in the 4th, the lead was cut to 10 points. In the last seconds of the 4th, Davis sank the two free throws, making the lead up to 8. So it is still considered a refund, but then Miles Bridges dunk with 1 second left in the clock. But still a great game. Davis puts up this third triple double in this game.

Second:

Hornets/Lakers OVER 221 - WIN
Cavaliers/Kings OVER 233 - WIN
76ers/Mavericks UNDER 245.5 - WIN
Hawks/Clippers OVER 240 - WIN
Nets/Warriors OVER 236 - LOST
Pelicans/Raptors OVER 229 - WIN

This one is very frustrating, because I almost had it. I almost won. But unfortunately, the Nets/Warriors go under with a total score of 207. I expected that this game would be high-scoring. Given that the Nets have a total of 118 team points in their last 3 games and it is their home court, I expected them to score more in their own arena. Also, the Warriors scored a lot this season, and they have 118 team points per game and 121 team points in their last three games.

Today was a tough day as I went 0-2. Let's see tomorrow if we can hit it.

[danherbias07]

Cleveland Cavaliers - Sacramento Kings - Cleveland Cavaliers (-4.5) - Win! Blowout game!

Charlotte Hornets - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-10.5) Lost! Did not cover.
Brooklyn Nets - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors ML - Win! Yey!

Atlanta Hawks - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-1.5) - Win. This was a nice offensive game.

New Orleans Pelicans - Toronto Raptors - New Orleans Pelicans (-10.5) - Win. Another blowout game.

4 of 5. Lucky!

7 games today. Here are my picks.
Indiana Pacers - Houston Rockets - Indiana Pacers (-5.5) - Another questionable day for Tyrese Haliburton but I think they can still win this one, especially at their home.
New York Knicks - Memphis Grizzlies - Memphis Grizzlies (14.5) - I do know the Knicks might win this one but without Randle and OG they might not cover the spread so I'm taking the Grizzlies' high spreads.
Brooklyn Nets - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-1.5) - With Kyrie back they might even blow out the Nets. Mavs without their center Lively.
Miami Heat - Orlando Magic - Miami Heat (-1.5) - I am going to trust the Heat today because they are playing against the Magic and it's the Heat home. They might as well win this one.
Chicago Bulls - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-3.5) - C'mon. The Wolves are too much for the Bulls.
Utah Jazz - Oklahoma City Thunder - Utah Jazz ML - Lots of players are in the injury report of the OKC Thunder. Let's see how the healthy Jazz will beat them.

Good luck everyone. Have a nice day.

^ Some good picks. I think I’m going with a 2 game parlay though. I like the Minnesota Timberwolves to beat the Chicago Bulls and cover the spread along with the Dallas Mavericks beating the Brooklyn Nets and covering the spread. Nothing too controversial today. I am looking forward to the Suns and Bucks game.

[xLays]

Just saw this on sportbetting Facebook group. I think it's from the FanDuel sports betting market. I just want to ask if there's another sports betting platform offering the same market. I'm from the Philippines and I don't know where I can find the same market. I regularly play at Stake.com but they don't have this option. I really want to tail or copy this bet, but I can't find the same market. Anyway, what are your thoughts on this bet?

I appreciate the suggestion, i'll probably do a live bet on the Knicks match as they've been scoring less in the first quarter and try to get a lower handicap from there.

Anyway, what are your thoughts on this bet?

That multi-bet is solid, except for the Bucks, they've been shitting the bed recently, and a few of their starting players are still GTD.

Indiana Pacers - Houston Rockets - Indiana Pacers (-5.5) - Another questionable day for Tyrese Haliburton but I think they can still win this one, especially at their home.

I also have the Pacers and even without Haliburton, this should be doable for the Pacers because the Rockets have been consistently bad on the road.

I'll go singles today, or at least pre game betting, I already have Luka's Mavs -3.5 at the start against the Nets.

Now that I look on the odds between the Wolves against the Bulls, I will go with the Wolves -5.5 @1.97. But still though, not going to make it a parlay, I'm not that lucky going on parlay even for 2 leg game.

And just when you think that the Wolves is going to have a easy win against the Bulls, building as high as 23 point lead, Koby White ignited a huge comeback and forces the game into OT and then DeRozan taking over in the OT with the assist to Drummond for a huge win for them.

Good that you didn't go on a parlay as the Mavs won comfortably against the Nets. Luka and Kyrie combine for 71 big points and Luka is just shy of another triple double. Just 1 assist but it's all good as I also take win on them.

A real bummer about the Bulls beating the Timberwolves. I definitely wasn’t expecting that. Ruined a nice parlay for me but I was impressed with how Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving played for the Mavs tonight. I was also impressed by the Suns taking out the Bucks. Bol Bol playing like he’s trying to steal the shine from Wemby.

Damn, it was really unpredictable game between the Bulls and the Wolves. TimberWolves started really hot as everyone is really contributing, their shots are falling, KAT was like 4 three points in the first half, ANT was doing his thing and Gobert also playing good defense.

But when Koby White gets hot it was hard to stop him, he was shooting when the defense thought he is not going to throw as it is way below the 3 point line. And yes, this just proved that parlays is hard to hit even with just 2 selections and I'm glad that I just bet single on my 2 bets and at least break even with the Mavs win.

Koby White was the Hero of that game, he lead the big comeback and Demar DeroZan took care of the business for the end game. I was able to bet on the Bulls handicap and I thought that my bet has no more chance, but when they came bac and lead the game but eventually it was close, I was already happy if they lose a maximum of 3 points. However, that didn't went on my expectation, it went to OT and I was worried again that Wolves will have a big run, but good thing the momentum has really shifted to the Bulls and they won the game.

[danherbias07]

Indiana Pacers - Houston Rockets - Indiana Pacers (-5.5) - Lost! Good game from the Pacers but the spreads were not covered.
New York Knicks - Memphis Grizzlies - Memphis Grizzlies (14.5) - Win! I was right! The Grizzlies could somehow fight back and they did in the 4th quarter. Brunson went to the dugout, I think he was hurt and that's when the Grizzlies tried to come back but DiVicenzo was answering back against them.

Brooklyn Nets - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-1.5) - Win! Kyrie Irving had 36 points and Luka Doncic had 35 points. Who can defeat those offensive monsters?

Miami Heat - Orlando Magic - Miami Heat (-1.5) - Win! My instincts were correct to trust them now.

Chicago Bulls - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-3.5) - Lost! I don't know what the heck happened here, I saw the Wolves were on the lead when I had a peek and then suddenly they lost in the end.
Utah Jazz - Oklahoma City Thunder - Utah Jazz ML - Win! Markkanen was on fire.

and a bonus...
5/7. Nice.

7 games again for later.
Here are my picks.
Washington Wizards - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5)
Charlotte Hornets - Toronto Raptors - Toronto Raptors (-4.5)
Miami Heat - San Antonio Spurs - Miami Heat (-7.5)
Philadelphia 76ers - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-1.5)
Sacramento Kings - Detroit Pistons - Sacramento Kings (-10.5)
Los Angeles Clippers - New Orleans Pelicans - Los Angeles Clippers (-5.5)

I think that Cavs, Kings, and Clippers bets have the highest chance of winning.
Good luck everyone, have a great day ahead.

[Sanitough]

I think that Cavs, Kings, and Clippers bets have the highest chance of winning.
Good luck everyone, have a great day ahead.

We are on the same team, they might win but the problem here is if they could cover the spread. 2 of these are playing at home, while the Cavaliers are on the road. If we based on the record of their opponents they could easily have a blowout win especially on teams Pistons and Wizards. If I would rank the 3 bets I have the same as you based on percentage of winning, it will be this....

1) clippers  2) Cavaliers 3) Kings.

Although Pistons is a bad team, only won 2 out of  20 road games, but sometimes Kings are so careless, they can't take care of their big lead, so if Pistons will come back normally in the 4th where Kings would just relax, the +13 might be covered. however, I still stick with the pick. 

[karabiber]

Washington Wizards vs Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers have become a scary team with a full roster. Just like the old days. In the process, the Cavaliers have made a tremendous run to the top of the Eastern Conference. With 14 wins in their last 15 games, the Cavaliers are making bettors smile. Their first-half dominance over the same period has placed them among the top four in this category. Washington, on the other hand, is at the bottom of the Eastern Conference after a drama filled season. In other words, they are one of the five worst first half teams in the league. All signs point to the Cleveland Cavaliers for betting purposes.

Miami Heat vs San Antonio Spurs
I can say that the Miami Heat are in a period of recovery after a very bad run. They managed to get 3 wins in the last 4 games. San Antonio, on the other hand, after surprisingly winning two games in a row, has lost four straight and all of those games were at home. The Miami Heat won by 5 points when they visited their rival at the beginning of the season. Miami will be victorious in this game as well.

[OgNasty]

Here's my parlay pick for the day.  Not the greatest odds for a 4-game multi-bet but I like my odds with these teams.  Nothing too shocking here.  Maybe the Pelicans might be able to surprise the Clippers, but we'll see.  Nothing too special about today.  Just picking the games that should be slam dunks (see what I did there). 

Washington Wizards - Cleveland Cavaliers
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Cleveland Cavaliers

Boston Celtics - Atlanta Hawks
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Boston Celtics

Los Angeles Clippers - New Orleans Pelicans
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Los Angeles Clippers

Sacramento Kings - Detroit Pistons
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Sacramento Kings

[wheelz1200]

Ha e laid off basketball for a little bit but getting back on the horse tonight.  Here are my picks for the night:

Golden state -5.5, just think without embid to steer the ship the sixers are gonna eat some losses here amd get exposed

Clevland -11.5, gotta ride that team.  They look real good and with a fully healthy team look like a strong contender.

Miami -7.5...just a hunch.  Games like this are ones they usually tend to win.

[xLays]

Anyway, what are your thoughts on this bet?

That multi-bet is solid, except for the Bucks, they've been shitting the bed recently, and a few of their starting players are still GTD.

Good thing until now I haven't been able to find the same sportsbetting market like this one and didn't tail on that picks. Only one leg hit in this parlay, I was expecting to hit at least 2 on that 4 leg parlay. But those 3 leg parlays that didn't hit were too close. Only 1-5 points were needed to hit another leg. I'm still searching for this kind of sports betting market.

[morvillz7z]

∆ B. Miller 25+ PRA / B. Miller 2+ 3pts / B. Miller 1+ stocks @1.80 ∆  won

I've been avoiding the Hornets all year, had a limited amount of action on them, and for a good reason. But now with Rozier's trade to Miami, Ball and Hayward injuries...Brandon Miller has been putting in solid/consistent numbers. His usage rate is up, and will probably stay that way until LaMelo returns to the starting lineup.

He has covered 25+ PRA in 5/L5 averaging close to 30 points alone, 25 PRA shouldn't be a problem. 2+ 3pts in 5/L5 on 45% shooting, 1+ stocks is also perfect 5/L5.

I have 1-1, hence my updated record is  YTD 4-3  (57%)

Early picks.
First pick : Cleveland -5. win
They are on a winning streak now. With a good home record which is 17-8, I believe they can beat the Kings who have been winning their last 2 road games.

2nd pick : Atlanta +3 - loss
Trae Young stays hot and will continue to prove that he is an all star caliber. Clippers here came from a big win vs the Heat and they are on a back to back game. I'll choose the home team here and a well rested team.

3rd pick : Warriors ML win
Curry had a strong game vs the Hawks, though they loss, I still believe that they have a good chemistry now and they can win this game with Curry still leading the team.

updated record is 6-4 ( 60%)..

Got some picks for the games later.

1) Indiana -6.5
won last time vs Rockets but didn't cover, this time they should cover the spread against the Warriors who will play a back to back game on the road.  Warriors are playing 3 games in 4 nights on the road, fatigue factor here is big.

2) Orlando Magic -11
Magic loss to the heat on the road, same with the Spurs whom they'll face later. Spurs are on a back to back game, while Magic are trying to bounce back and start a first home game after a successful road games (3-4). They should have the energy here to give the Spurs a blowout loss.

3) Phoenix Suns -6.5
2nd home game after beating the Bucks, still hot so I guess that -6.5 is too easy for them to cover. Thing is, Jazz are good at their home but awful on the road with 9-19 record.

[Twentyonepaylots]

My today's parlay was ruined by the LA Clippers and the Kings. I didn't expect them to get beaten at their home court. Especially the Kings, who are playing against the Pistons. The Pistons! Maybe the worst team in the league right now. Fox getting outplayed by third-year player Jaden Ivey is such pain in the eyes. Ivey scored 19 of his career-high 37 points in the fourth quarter, and with that monster performance, they stunned the Kings 133-120. Well, I guess Sabonis and Fox shouldn't have been all-stars this season after all.

On the other hand, the Clippers' first seed didn't last long as they got beaten in their homecourt too. The Pelicans beat the Clippers 106-117.

These two games are the ones that I think should have been easy wins. But the opposite happened.
