NBA 2023-2024 betting

[danherbias07]

Los Angeles Clippers - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-3.5) - Win! Giannis and Damian Lillard combined with 69 points.
Miami Heat - Washington Wizards - Miami Heat (-10.5) - Loss! This was a great game. Wizards showcased their offensive powers. Kyle Kuzma with 32 points. Miami shouldn't have forced that 3 point shot for a win. A 2-point would be okay and try winning it in overtime.
Sacramento Kings - Houston Rockets - Sacramento Kings (-4.5) - Loss!
Atlanta Hawks - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-4.5) - Win! Trey Murphy stepping up his game.
Orlando Magic - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers ML - Win! Yey!
New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks (-5.5) - Loss! Both teams scored 15 points only in the 1st quarter. That's already a sign that it's going to be a bad game. 
3/6.
Here's a bonus for the tiebreaker.


Later, 6 games.
Here are my picks.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-4.5) - Booker is now on probable status. How I wish he could play.
San Antonio Spurs - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-2.5) - Draymond and Moody are both probable to play.
Chicago Bulls - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-3.5) - Considering how strong the Mavs are, I don't know why it has that low spread.
Denver Nuggets - Toronto Raptors - Denver Nuggets (-12.5) - Expecting another blowout game.

Good luck everyone.

Cleveland Cavaliers - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-4.5) - Booker is now on probable status. How I wish he could play.

I got the same bet on the Suns, and your wish is granted since I see Booker confirmed to play in the starting lineup. Let's hope the Cavs don't have a fire shooting day because it's one of the ways they could take this one away from the Suns.



I'm also surprised that you guys still trust the Warriors or maybe it's a trap for the Spurs, as I think they're being underestimated even though they recently beat the Warriors on the road.

[danherbias07]

Cleveland Cavaliers - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-4.5) - Win! That was a wild game. Garland was hot in the first half and scored a lot of outside shots but then Kevin Durant showed who the real assassin is. That was a fun game.
San Antonio Spurs - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-2.5) - Win! Wemby tried a run in the 4th quarter but it was short-lived. The dunk from Trayce Jackson-Davis against Wemby is a must-watch.
Chicago Bulls - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-3.5) - Win! Like I said, I don't why the spreads are that low.
Denver Nuggets - Toronto Raptors - Denver Nuggets (-12.5) - Loss! The Raptors started great, but the Nuggets ended it better.

7 games later.
Here are my picks.

New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks (-4.5)
Oklahoma City Thunder - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (7.5) - This is risky but I like the chances of the Pacers to keep the game close. Both teams are fast-paced with their plays so I will take the Over 238.5 also.
Memphis Grizzlies - Washington Wizards - Washington Wizards (-1.5)
Utah Jazz - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-4.5)

Timberwolves versus Clippers - the main event of the evening.

Good luck guys, have a good one.

You got lucky with the spread you took as the Cavaliers had only won by 6 points. Great 3rd quarter run by the Suns, booker returning without a minute restriction and he was able to contribute 27, as if nothing happened or not coming from injury. When the big 3 are playing great offense, this team will be so dangerous, first time the big 3 scored huge numbers with a great shooting percentage.

Durant 37
Booker 27
Beal 24

Some long odds for me today but I feel somewhat good about this one.  I think the Timberwolves look at the Clippers like they've got a point to prove.  Without KAT it will be tough, but I think Anthony Edwards might be able to pull it off.  We'll see...  The rest of the picks aren't as risky, but with odds at 13.36 I think this is a good bet to make.

I'm surprised you pick Timberwolves even it is against Los Angeles Clippers. You already mentioned there's no KAT (out of the remaining season) so for me it will be very hard to Timberwolves to win this game. Not just this game but the remaining season. Timberwolves really need KAT for able to won championship this season. Also this game is home court advantage for the LA Clippers. So for me i will pick La Clippers over Wolves. The rest of your pick is okay.

Timberwolves versus Clippers - the main event of the evening.

Good luck guys, have a good one.

The Wolves are trying to find a new style of play in the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns. The Clippers will try to take advantage of this situation and use their home court advantage. Naz Reid's effort to replace Towns will be an important factor. The Clippers may choose to play with a shorter lineup to force Rudy Gobert on defense. The Wolves are ahead in the season series and a win in this game could give them a significant advantage over the Clippers in the playoff standings. The Clippers lost to the Wolves at home back in February, but they have been back to their best form lately, winning on the away this time despite facing them on the away. I think the Clippers will win at home in this game.

∆ J. Brunson 4+ assists / D. DiVincenzo 3+ 3pts / D. DiVincenzo 1+ stocks @1.64 ∆  won

Unlucky with my last three plays in this thread 0/3: a 50-point blowout, a 40-point blowout, and an ejection for one of my players. Lol...I'm looking to turn things around this week.

Expect DiVincenzo's shoot attempts per game to decrease since OG Anunoby is back in the Knicks' starting lineup, but shot quality will improve. Defenses won't be able to sag off and help as they did with Achiuwa, primarily because OG can knock down 3s. DiVincenzo has made 3+ 3pts in 4/L5 @29% (% wise he is better than that and a positive regression is coming). DiVincenzo is averaging nearly 3 stocks in /L5 and has hit that mark in 5/L5.

Brunson has got 4+ assists in 4/L5 (if don't count the game vs. Cavs where he got injured in the opening seconds) 4+ assists also in the last 2 games vs. Philly this season. The 76ers went heavy double-teams/traps toward him only a few days ago, expect more of the same today. OG back is good news for Brunson, it's another scorer to dish assists out to.

When the big 3 are playing great offense, this team will be so dangerous, first time the big 3 scored huge numbers with a great shooting percentage.

It got dicey at the start because the Cavs were landing 70% of their shots then the Suns started to stabilize in the second quarter and throughout the second half. I surely got lucky with the Cavs fouling at the end and I thought they'd miss at least one free throw.  

After the Knicks lost to the Sixers during the weekend, i'd assume they wouldn't lose twice in a row here and with Anunoby playing today i'd give them the edge even though the Sixers are also getting Maxey back.

Good thing I did and I'll tell you why.  A couple of games ago when these two teams met Anthony Edwards was making comments and laughing at the Clippers because they're too old.  Ever since then he has absolutely dominated the Clippers and you can tell he takes it personally when they play.  I think he's the best player on the court when they match up and he takes the opportunity to show it.  Not a bad parlay for me tonight on this one.  13.36 odds makes up for a whole lot of losses in a row. 

[stadus]

Dallas -4.5 win
Luka and Irving going to play at Chicago where the Bulls only have 16-15 home record, so I the Mavericks have a decent chance here.Last game, Dallas beat the Bulls by 9 points at their home court, now playing on the road, I believe they can still get a win here.

Warriors -4.5 win
With or without Curry, I think the Warriors are in a situation where they need to win, so I trust them to win and avenge their loss.

Cavaliers +5.5 loss
I like their home record, so I'm taking the points. Mitchell is still out and Booker will probably be back, that's why I like the home team.

Updated record 35-35 50%)

still on the losing side, target here to be profitable is 53%....

So lets make that happen with this upcoming bets. 

1- Miami heat +4
2- Chicago Bulls +4
3- Atlanta -3.5

[danherbias07]

New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks (-4.5) - Won! OG Anunoby is back, the Knicks suddenly got stronger. Josh Hart is pumped. Triple-double I love that Villanova trio. "Nova Knicks."
Oklahoma City Thunder - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (7.5) - Won! I don't even need that plus. I trusted the speed prowess of the Pacers.
Memphis Grizzlies - Washington Wizards - Washington Wizards (-1.5) - Loss!
Utah Jazz - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-4.5) - Won! No Brown, no problem. Tatum and Holiday will be enough to beat the Jazz.

Bonus!


9 games later. Wow!
Here are my picks.
Orlando Magic - Brooklyn Nets - Orlando Magic (-5.5)
Miami Heat - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-3.5) - This will be fun. The East Champions versus the West. I bet both teams will be competitive in this game.
Indiana Pacers - Chicago Bulls - Indiana Pacers (-3.5) - I don't believe in exhaustion for the young Indiana team. They might win again.
New Orleans Pelicans - Cleveland Cavaliers - New Orleans Pelicans (-4.5)
Sacramento Kings - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-1.5) - Kings back to back, AD versus Sabonis, that's a good matchup.

Good luck everyone.

After yesterday's monster win I think I'll go for some more long odds today.  I'm not sure what's going on with the Raptors that the Pistons are the favorites, but unless I'm reading this wrong it looks like they'll be in Toronto, which is a nice party scene change from Detroit.  I think most of their players will be hungover by tipoff so I'm going with the Raptors.  The rest of the games should work themselves out.

Detroit Pistons - Toronto Raptors
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Toronto Raptors

This looks like the absolute one for me to be honest, there is quite a huge value here, I don't know why the Toronto Raptors are considered a +5 Handicap and 2.5 ML underdog here, but I'm willing to take both for even Odds, not a win or burst case scenario though.

Brooklyn Nets and Hornets Over 203.5 @ 1.83 is also of great consideration for me, I'm just waiting to confirm the line ups and whatnot before giving it shot or not.

[ralle14]

That win from the Knicks yesterday was sweat-free, we need to have more of those dominant wins. 

It's nice to know that we are mostly on the same page with the Nuggets spread after they managed to hold off the Raptors in their last game. The Miami Heat has been underperforming recently and threw a free win away against the Wizards. With the line this close, i'd back the much better team since they nearly have the same wins and losses against the Heat at home.

[danherbias07]

Orlando Magic - Brooklyn Nets - Orlando Magic (-5.5) - Won!
Miami Heat - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-3.5) - Won! Miami Heat took the lead for just a while.
Indiana Pacers - Chicago Bulls - Indiana Pacers (-3.5) - Loss! Overtime! Damn DeRozan. Why!?
New Orleans Pelicans - Cleveland Cavaliers - New Orleans Pelicans (-4.5) - Loss! Mitchell is back, the Cavs are strong again.
Sacramento Kings - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-1.5) - Loss! I didn't expect that from the Kings, they are still filled with energy despite the back-to-back games.

2/5 +1

Low multiplier but a high chance.

6 games later. Here are my picks.
Boston Celtics - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (6.5) - Brown is questionable to play and Porzingis is out. I'll take my chances with the + spread.
Chicago Bulls - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-4.5) - Coby White was hurt during the game against the Pacers and they are playing back-to-back from an overtime game. Clippers on the other hand have Kawhi and Harden both questionable to play.
Milwaukee Bucks - Philadelphia 76ers - Milwaukee Bucks (-8.5) - This should be an easy win for the Bucks. I hope the spreads will be covered.
Portland Trail Blazers - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-10.5) - They have OG back, they have more options for their offense, and stronger in defense.

Good luck everyone.

[OgNasty]

Nothing too crazy today.  Let's see if we can get a win.  I feel like the Bucks are a lock to beat the 76ers and the Knicks/Rockets/Clippers should all be easy wins as well, but you never know.  The Wizards have managed to win a few as of late and the Clippers have been dropping a few here and there.  A safer pick might be just the Knicks and Bucks to win, but those odds aren't worth the gamble.

Laid off for a second.  Back at it with 3 games tonight.  Need a clean sweep to pick up some losses from last week. 

Game 1: Bucks-7.5.  I just don't think the sixers without embid can keep up here.

Game 2: Knicks-11.5. With OG back on the squad the defense picked back up and kept the sixers under 80.  Think this is like a 110-92 type of game.

Game 3: Clippers -6.5.  One of those hunch plays.  I like the clips and how they play.  The spread doesn't seem like much to get over.  Figure they will be up late 5/6 points and free throw their way into a 9 to 10 point win.

Enjoy the game and good luck everyone!

I like these two bets as both teams were coming from a loss, for the Clippers, they are in 2 losing streak, hopefully Leonard will play here. But honestly, I'm not so 100% sure aabout the Clippers since the Bulls has been playing very well recently, but anyway I'll follow ( said on our local thread I'll take a break but see this, I might put a bit for the play).

Also, for the Bucks, Losing to the Kings was pretty big, they look like  G League team on that losing over 30 points, so i'm hoping for a big comeback win and expect that they'll dominate the Embiid less Sixers. Riding this bet too, Good luck @wheelz1200

Sorry for the late reply and for bumping this yesterday game. If Kawhi hadn't left the game, the LA Clippers would have surely won. In the first half the Clippers managed to lead by almost 20 points but after Kawhi Leonard left the game, the Minnesota Timberwolves started to come back. Didn't disclose the reason why Kawhi Leonard left the game. But after reading some reports it was because of thoracic spasms. Hopefully his okay now and can play against Bulls.
