NBA 2023-2024 betting

[wheelz1200]

Brutal week for me I just can't catch a break here.  Gonna stick with it cant lose them all right?!?

1) Lakers at home-4.5. At this point in the season playoff lebron shoukd be warming up.  I like the Lakers at home here tonight.
2)Grizzlies +12.5 at home.  Gut says bet sixers but just seems like too high of a spread.  Give me the home team with double digit points.
3) Pistons +9.5. On the road but I don't think the Nets are that much better than them.  I expect the Nets to win but under 10 point win.

Good luck everyone and enjoy the games.

Just brutal, Nets ended the last 5 minutes on a 19-0 run to cover by a half a freaking point.  Worst ending to a betting game I've had in awhile.  Think I got a lock tonight.  Big money on Timberwolves-1.5 yeah on the road against the Lakers but Bron is out and Davis is a game time decision.  I think the Lakers are punting this game wouldn't be surprised if they sit Davis too if they get down double digits early.  Tossing the house on this one game tonight.  If I win this one game it covers all my posses this week.  Yep chasing the loss here but it's as good as game to bet than I've seen in awhile.  Wish me luck!

I hate chasing losses but this time it worked out, that was a huge win last night.  Alright back to normal bets and 3 games.  Here is tonight's go:

Suns -3.5.  This should be a great game but I like Suns when they play at home. 
Okc -3.5 at home.  Again great game but give me the home team here.
Knicks -3.5. Revenge game and with the last couple games ahead they push for the 3 seed. 

3.5 is the magic nu.ber all the way around!  Good luck tonight everyone.

With the Denver Nuggets beating the Atlanta Hawks yesterday, Nikola Jokic landed his 25th triple double of the season to join Westbrook and Sabonis with that many in a single season.

They look pretty strong and the bench seems to have been performing well in these past few games. Maybe they realize that they have to step up their games especially now that the playoffs are near. Crossing my fingers that no injuries will happen.

Here are my results for today game and some bonuses form player props same game multi.

Bonus!
No games later! Enjoy the rest day!

A day break is a much needed one for me this week for by the way, I still got a couple of things to handle and thankfully NBA will not be distraction for me tonight  

With the looks of it, I believe everyone got some mini-break winnings and I felt the need to share my small winnings as well with our little NBA community.



It's actually been a long while I hit those 100-200+ Odds, and I hope to get another 1000x Odds like I did some time last season before the regular season ends.

Damn! You are very lucky that you hit that player props parlay because Anthony Davis was hurt during the 1st quarter and he never went back afterward. I can say this because I was watching the game and I also have props for Davis at 40 points + rebounds. Sadly, mine didn't hit because of that. It was unexpected but it's also part of the game and part of our betting risks. I think I had that kind of thing happen to me a lot of times now where a player is injured mid-game. It's better if they don't play at all because the bet will be voided.

I lied.  While it isn't an NBA bet, it might as well be a future NBA players bet.  I couldn't resist making the National Championship game a little more interesting for myself.  Connecticut is a pretty heavy favorite and has been, so it would take a pretty wild upset for them to lose.  Still, anything can happen, especially in college sports.

Connecticut Huskies - Purdue Boilermakers
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Connecticut Huskies

Odds
1.31

Nice catch! UConn wins! I really thought Purdue would win this March Madness but I was wrong. Still, they came out strong this year and that's cool.

Luck was indeed on my side for Anthony Davis to have completed those assists in quick succession before getting injured and nothing returning to the game.

I also had a bet on Purdue vs UConn, I had totally forgotten that the national finals was scheduled for today until about 30 minutes before the game when it was mentioned by Malika Andrews and Big Perk on the NBA Today show. I went with Uconn -4.5 handicap @ 2.0+ Odds and I was glad I did because they were indeed the better side, although Purdue indeed tried to keep up the pace and match UConn's offense, but they just couldn't.

[Sanitough]

So NBA will be coming back tomorrow.

Any early picks here?

We got plenty of games tomorrow but we don't bet all of them, right?

I'm betting on the Celtics vs Bucks as it seemed like Bucks are losing on purpose, maybe putting a bet like to win more than 26 points as this could be a blowout if the starters will play.

Another bet is on the Miami Heat, they need another win to have a chance to be at the number 6.
That's -3.5 vs the Hawks.

Been waiting for this Denver match and they should be going against the Utah Jazz from what I remember somebody posting on this thread, they had lost their last game. So this might be a good pick to put with the Boston game against the faltering Bucks.
Think I'll be staying away from the Hawks game since there was some thing with Trae Young's finger on the sports ticker last night so he could be a scratch tonight.

Utah hasn't won a game in the last 12 games, they should continue losing specially against the defending champion. About the Hawks, there was a report that Trae Young is cleared for practice but it was not confirm if he'll return vs the Heat. I guess it's not neccessary anyway as they'll still fall at 9 or 10 which means they'll have to play a do or die game, so better not risk Trae and just make him fully healthy in the play-in.

Damn you! You are one lucky man! Keep it up!

14 games later guys! Pick your poison!

Here are my picks.

Toronto Raptors - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-12.5) - Obviously, the Raptors are tanking, they want a good spot on the drafts for their team reconstruction.
Philadelphia 76ers - Detroit Pistons - Philadelphia 76ers (-14.5) They badly need this one. They will win without any doubt but I hope the spreads will be covered.
Charlotte Hornets - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-11.5) The same with these guys. Keep that 5th spot and avoid the play-in. Two more wins and they are safe or if they win and the Suns or Pelicans lose.
Atlanta Hawks - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-2.5) The East is in a close battle if the Heat can win all four games then they might have a chance to be in a safe spot.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Sacramento Kings - Oklahoma City Thunder (-4.5)
Chicago Bulls - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-4.5)

Good luck everyone. I will go live betting on the next games after the Knicks.

[morvillz7z]

∆ PJ Washington 20+ PRA / PJ Washington 1+ 3pts / PJ Washington 1+ stocks @1.80 ∆  X

PJ Washington is back in Charlotte for the first time since being traded to the Mavericks in February. He was drafted by the Hornets and played for them for 4 1/2 years. I wouldn't call it a revenge game, but players tend to do well against former teams. PJ has been a great fit for the Mavs, he is third only to Luka and Kyrie in minutes played, field goal attempts, and points per game /L5. He has cleared all 20+ PRA, 1+ 3pts, and 1+ stocks in 5/L5, leading the team in stocks per game and ranking second in 3pt% during that time.

A lot of mismatches today means bad odds and with the end of the season here it also means there's a good chance we'll see some upsets as the playoff teams rest while the underdogs try to end the season on a high note.  For that reason, I wouldn't recommend anyone follow this bet, but I like to hit parlays which means betting on the favorites...  Again, I wouldn't follow this bet unless you like seeing money disappear.  On the other hand, these should all be easy wins...

I've noticed, Boss OG that your NBA picks are always like that. The odds are low and you often make 5-leg parlays with just 2x something
odds. I'm not inclined to bet on these kinds of wagers. Five legs and only a small odds payout. I'd rather stick to single bets with low odds than that; I'm not comfortable with this picks. I think there's always one pick that will fail, just like with your picks before. Lol Anyway good luck again!

[ralle14]

The Suns failed me last time against the Timberwolves, Beal tried his best to keep them in the game, but Grayson Allen missed a lot of good looks that cost them the game.

Today they should return to their winning ways since they still have a chance to take the 6th spot from the Pelicans, and the Clippers won't have most of their starting players.

Same, I used to make similar parlays before realizing that it's too risky than what the odds suggest. Then again, there's nothing wrong with taking moneyline parlays if it works.

Edit: Never mind, i'm starting to think my bet is already cooked if the Suns consistently brick while the Clippers are making every shot count.

[danherbias07]

Toronto Raptors - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-12.5) Win!
Philadelphia 76ers - Detroit Pistons - Philadelphia 76ers (-14.5) Win! Still undefeated with Embiid around.
Charlotte Hornets - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-11.5) Win!
Atlanta Hawks - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-2.5) Win!
Oklahoma City Thunder - Sacramento Kings - Oklahoma City Thunder (-4.5) Win!
Chicago Bulls - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-4.5) Win!

Perfect! I am really happy with the results yesterday event though some spreads are too high.

Later we have 8 games. I don't think I will consider exhaustion even for back-to-back games teams because some of them badly need the win.

Here are my picks.
Brooklyn Nets - Toronto Raptors - Brooklyn Nets (-10.5)
Miami Heat - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-2.5) - This will be an interesting battle. Miami Heat would probably force this win but the Mavs will play smooth and might even win it.
Atlanta Hawks - Charlotte Hornets - Atlanta Hawks (-11.5)
Oklahoma City Thunder - San Antonio Spurs - Oklahoma City Thunder (-14.5)
Milwaukee Bucks - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic (-1.5)
Denver Nuggets - Minnesota Timberwolves - Denver Nuggets (-4.5) The battle for the top spot of the Western Conference. This will be fun.
Los Angeles Clippers - Phoenix Suns- Phoenix Suns (-3.5) The Clippers are in the safe spot so I guess that's why the Suns are the favorite here because they are the ones who need a win and try to climb against the Pelicans above them.

Good luck everyone!

[OgNasty]

I'm betting the odds today.  I feel like while the Timberwolves and Clippers are underdogs, they can both beat any team in the NBA on any given night.  I also feel like the Suns and the Nuggets haven't been playing their best ball lately, while the Timberwolves and the Clippers have something to prove.  So I think the odds of 9.21 on a bet that the Clippers and Timberwolves will both win are pretty good no matter who they're playing against.  I thought about adding some other games, but with these odds there's no reason to push it.  

Denver Nuggets - Minnesota Timberwolves
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Minnesota Timberwolves

Los Angeles Clippers - Phoenix Suns
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Los Angeles Clippers

Odds
9.21

[Harkorede]

Milwaukee Bucks - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic (-1.5)

Good luck everyone!

This is my favorite match up for the day, the rest either have too high spread or just aren't worth the risk in my opinion. The Bucks will be without Giannis for the reminder of the regular season, and that's why I'll be backing them against Orlando Magic tonight, Doc Rivers will tryout multiple approach on how to cope without Giannis, and Khris Middleton has also been rule out for the game, so it's going to be a bi test for the Bucks.

I'm going with Milwaukee Bucks ML @ 2.11.

GL!

Finally on the right side of the books.  Suns ate it but I think tonight is a different story.

Gonna ride with 3 games tonight

Denver at home -6.5.  Think Denver starts leaning into their competition.  Gonna be a good game gimme the home team.
Suns -11.5 yeah I know they just lost but Clippers are sitting everyone here.  Suns NEED to win and think they lay into the clips tonight.
Rapters +12 against the Nets.  The Nets are out of the playoffs.  No incentive think this one stays at single digits.

Enjoy the games people!

[stadus]

Updated record 58(W)-57(L)..... 50%

Let's continue betting on this few games remaining in the season.

Warriors -14
They still have a chance to be in the rank 8, so I guess they are gonna take this game seriously. -14 is not hard to cover for a team that are playing their best every game.

Pelicans +1
Because I want the Kings to drop at number 9, that's why I'm backing the Pelicans to win.
Pelicans also need this win to stay at number 6.

NYK -2.5

This game is not anymore important for the Celtics, so I wouldn't be surprise if the starters will not play just like what the Clippers did, so I'm counting on the Knicks to win on the road.

[Eternad]

NYK -2.5

This game is not anymore important for the Celtics, so I wouldn't be surprise if the starters will not play just like what the Clippers did, so I'm counting on the Knicks to win on the road.

Boston last 10 games is also not important anymore yet they are still playing starters with 100% effort to win the game. But the bookie is now giving 2.0 odds to Boston which is a clear indication that Boston might really not gonna play full force on their remaining game.

Boston last game yesterday against Bucks is a blast. They might consider resting on tomorrow’s match or they will use their remaining games as preparation for play-offs since they have time to rest during the play-in season. Nevertheless, I will bet on New York Knicks ML and not with handicap just in case Boston will seriously play this match.

[Finestream]

NYK -2.5

The starters are listed as questionable as per latest injury report of the Celtics.
Can be seen here https://www.espn.ph/nba/team/injuries/_/name/bos/boston-celtics

So, this should be a great pick because without the starters and the Knicks playing hard as they need to win this game, I think -2.5 is not hard to cover.
Bookies seemed to know what would happen as they started the Knicks being the favorite despite the C's starters are only listed as questionable.

They'll only be serious if the starters will play, if you aren't sure then just wait until the game will start and bet live. I guess -2.5 is just so easy, and once the starters will be announce out, that will increase to probably -5.5 or even more, so in my case, I would take it early and be contented on that spread. A win here will ensure the Knicks position to be at the 3 or at least at 4, still would be getting the home court advantage.

[OgNasty]

I decided to take a little bit of a long shot today.  The Bulls have been playing terribly in my opinion and have a ton of drama so I wouldn't be shocked to see them lose to the Detroit Pistons who probably would like to not be one of the worst teams in modern day history...  I also think the Warriors are in playoff mode and not going to lose to the Portland Trail Blazers, so I feel good about this one.  Granted asking the Pistons for a win is a tall order, but here it is.

Detroit Pistons - Chicago Bulls
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Detroit Pistons

Portland Trail Blazers - Golden State Warriors
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Golden State Warriors
