NBA 2023-2024 betting

[wheelz1200]

Haven't had that good a run so far so looking for a breakout day here.  Bet all 3 remaining games I didn't touch that cavs game.  Can't figure them out.

Pelicans +1.5, shoukd be a close game tie goes to the home team.  Okc is young amd this might be a tough one

Heat +10.5, they showed last game they are here to play.  Being underdogs by double digits as the home team doesn't sit well with me.  Gimme the heat.

Heat/Celtics over 204.5. I know the unders have hit hard but I think the Celtics score enough to push the heat to push the pace.

Good luck and enjoy the games!

Dam another 0-3 night I'm getting torched these playoffs lol.  So why not 3 more bets lol.

Taking the home Pacers-10.5 with no Dame and no giannis.  I think they will be rudderless and with haliburton he will control the tempo.

Suns -1.5 just like the Lakers think back against the wall they squeeze one out, they have to right? 

Also taking over 213.5.  I think it will be a frenetic pace, and at the end if it's close lots of foul shots.  Can see a 115-110 type of game.

Enjoy the rest of the games and good luck

I'm on the same side. Middleton alone could not carry the Bucks to win on the road, yeah he had a great game 3 but that was it as I believe the defense will be adjusted to him and now that he is the only legit scorer of the team, it will be easy for the Pacers to limit the Bucks. I'm seeing a blowout win by the Pacers here and will finish the series at Bucks homecourt.

Suns -1.5 just like the Lakers think back against the wall they squeeze one out, they have to right?

I hope the Suns has not given up the series yet. Durant has to lead this team as he is the most experience in the roster. If they can win maybe at least in the first half as they will probably start strong due to the possible adjustments in this game after their last game's defeat.

It looks like i'm the only one hoping for the Timberwolves to sweep since I have them to win (@1.96). I'm not confident about the Suns having the same urgency as the Lakers to win a game, and I think the odds on the Timberwolves are still too good given they haven't kept the margins close. It'd be nice if the Suns could prove me wrong by extending the series to a game five, but i'll always take the Timberwolves knowing the Suns rarely clutch it up whenever they're the favorites.

Congrats with your bet, as Wolves completed the sweep ANT provides them 40points showing his idol that he's now a grown up man who can deliver important basket, that slam dunk which give them extra edge really the highlghts of the game, managing to escape the defense of Beal and dunk it in front of KD that's really something that will hype his name up.

Moving now to the second round and will face another tough challenge, let see if how they will proceed on thier campaign to win a title.

On the other games, Lakers escaped repeating their last time result, extending the series to game 5 and hope that they will continue to extend agaisnt the defending champ, while both Indiana and NYC needed one more win to move forward to their next rounds.

Wolves was really the play as most bettors are still believing the Suns that could win in game 4. They think that they'll have the same faith with the Lakers, but Durant is not Lebron, so he'll have to be swept. ANT really came up big in the 4th quarter, he has become a very clutch player, not afraid to take a shot when the game is close and Suns have no answer from his aggressiveness.

So moving on, they'll  likely face the Nuggets, I think I'd bet on the defending champ in that game.  Although I think that Wolves had a decent chance of limiting Jokic because they have 2 bigs but they Nuggets are a champion for a reason.

On the other games, Lakers escaped repeating their last time result, extending the series to game 5 and hope that they will continue to extend agaisnt the defending champ, while both Indiana and NYC needed one more win to move forward to their next rounds.

The first round is not so fun, exept for the Sun-magic  and Clippers-dallas series.

Well he didn't get as many Jalen Brunson had last night with that win over the desperate Philadelphia 76ers  team which are on their last life line in the series.
The 47 points he had from what I recall from watching the game was a new franchise record in the playoffs.

I don't think the Lakers can avoid falling against the Nuggets.
Had my bets on Indiana last night and they didn't disappoint. But still need to win on a multibet props slip.

[stadus]

1-1 on the 2 picks I shared. let's proceed with the upcoming games.

Sixers -5. loss
Embiid's performance is game 3 was legit. I don't think he'll slow down in game 4, so I'm expecting them to cover the spread and tie the series. I'm thinking of a possible double digit win by the Sixers, this should not be hard to cap. I'm seeing the same scenario on the Cavs vs Magic series.

Suns +1.5 loss
Just like the Lakers, maybe they'll win one game before getting eliminated. I know they have struggled a lot in the past 3 games but this is the only chance for them not to get swept, so I'm betting on them.

Dallas -6  loss
I'm hoping Dallas will stay consistent with what they are doing, have already won 2 straight and it seems like Leonard is not gonna play as he is currently listed as doubtful, they should be able to handle the Clippers especially that their interior offense is already working.

Updated record 8(W)-10(L)..... 44%

Loss all 3 picks, whatta bad day. But as usual, we don't just easily give up, we continue until this is over.

Miami +10.5.. Last game was a blowout win by the Celtics, just like in game 1, I like to see the Miami Heat making adjustment in game 4. I'm hoping it will be a close game so the Heat loss, they can cover with their high handicap.

Nuggets -7.5
This is a no brainer, a close out game for the Nuggets, they should give everything here as they can't afford to take this series back to LA where the pressure could be higher.

Pelicans +4.5
For the last time, I like to see them having a competitive game like they did in game 1.

[danherbias07]

Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers (-3.5) - Loss! Damn! The Knicks are really strong.
Dallas Mavericks - Los Angeles Clippers - Dallas Mavericks (-3.5) - Loss! This game became more interesting. 
Indiana Pacers - Milwaukee Bucks - Indiana Pacers (-10.5) Won! Covered! Nice!
Phoenix Suns - Minnesota Timberwolves - Phoenix Suns (-1.5) Loss! Adjustments did happen but not to the extent that they can win the game. I am sad for the Suns.

Later, 3 games. Big questions. Will the Nuggets end the series at Ball Arena? Will OKC not give the Pelicans any win and sweep the series?

Here are my picks.
Miami Heat - Boston Celtics - Miami Heat (10.5)
New Orleans Pelicans - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-3.5)
Denver Nuggets - Los Angeles Lakers - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) I think they will finish this now. They will have the help of the home crowd to boost their energy and I doubt they will let them down.

Good luck everyone!

Thanks, and he clutched it up with the threes in the last quarter after the Suns were about to pull away with their lead from the third quarter.

The only spread i'm liking so far is the first-half spread from the Celtics, they led by 20+ points last game, and i'd imagine the only way Miami keeps it close is if they can replicate the number of threes they made during game two.



I'm also tempted to slam the Nuggets, but it's probably best to catch better odds through live betting because, in all four games, the Lakers take control of the first half (leading by 5+ points).

Congrats mate, that was a great analysis as the Celtics easily beat the Miami Heat especially the first half. But even if you bet on the entire game, you will still win because the Celtics have cover +3.5 points from the -10.5 pregame point spread. I think the Miami Heat is done, they lost twice at home, so this game will be over in 5, they are still lucky to have won a single game though.

Anyway, tomorrow I'm interested on betting the Sixers vs Knicks, I think the Sixers are gonna fight for their chance in the series and will avoid to get eliminated, so it's +4.5 Sixers for me.

[danherbias07]

Miami Heat - Boston Celtics - Miami Heat (10.5) Loss!
New Orleans Pelicans - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-3.5) Win!
Denver Nuggets - Los Angeles Lakers - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) Loss! Did not cover. 2 point win.

3 games later. Here are my picks.

New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks (-2.5)
Cleveland Cavaliers - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic ML @2.65. Risky but I think they might snatch this one.
Milwaukee Bucks - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) Win or go home for the Bucks. The Pacers will probably try to force and end it today.

Good luck everyone!

[OgNasty]

I called all the games yesterday but didn't manage to get a post up so I guess it didn't happen.  Today I'm not feeling too great about the games but with Dame and Giannis facing injury issues I think I'm going with the Pacers today.  I also think the Orlando Magic vs Cleveland Cavaliers game is going to be a close one tonight, so I took the Magic + 6.5.  I'm still happy from last night's games though.  That Lakers game didn't disappoint.  I just wish they could have gotten one more shot at it.  I would have loved to have seen that game go into overtime.


Cleveland Cavaliers - Orlando Magic
Handicap (Incl. Overtime)
Orlando Magic (6.5)

Milwaukee Bucks - Indiana Pacers
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Indiana Pacers

Odds
2.67

Also taking over 213.5.  I think it will be a frenetic pace, and at the end if it's close lots of foul shots.  Can see a 115-110 type of game.

Enjoy the rest of the games and good luck

Finally a positive bet day.  Went 2-1 still need a full night sweep here.  Got 3 in so far here they are:

Knicks -4.5, should be another tight game but with the series on the line if they are up in the 4th I expect 76ers to reach on defense opening up foul shots and easy buckets if they can convert.  Close the series out!

Knicks 76ers under 203.5. Can easily see another drawn out physical low scoring game.  102-95 Knicks win tonight

Orlando +5.5 at the cavs.  Yeah they are away but I think they got the cavs shook right now.  Gimme the streaking team.

Enjoy the games and go knicks!!

I appreciate the nice words and Derrick White popped off in the first half and put up almost 20 points, which helped a lot in covering the spread. I agree with you this series is most likely a wrap for the Celtics because the Heat's firepower went down by a lot without Butler.

Best of luck with your Sixers spread. I also think they could cover and likely keep this as close as possible, and it's why I went with the Knicks match-winner instead of the spread.



Edit: Congrats on your Sixers spread, and I can't believe the Knicks threw that game away as Maxey landed some insane shots in the fourth quarter to force an OT win for the Sixers.

What a game for Maxey, aiding Embiid with that back to back basket especially that long 3 that put the game into OT, that's a heroic shot coming a player who really aiming to win, I was in the impression that the game is over and you'll going to take your win, not considering those mistakes from NYK, they've got that opportunity to kill the time and win but the determination coming from Maxey extend their way to force a game 6.

A  mistake that may snatch this series away from NYK, knowing the capabilities of Sixers, if they can push this to another game and have that do-or-die game, the chance is still alive to move forward.

I was right with my pick, not only the handicap but the Sixers were able to beat the home team. I'm sticking on the same team in game 6 and if there's game 7 that will continue. How about some games tomorrow? We have the Clippers/Mavs and Celtics/Heat.

My picks would be Celtics -14 and Dallas -3.. I think this Celtics beat is easy as Celtics will make sure they'll close the series and as usual, they will start strong until they finish, so more like a 30+ in blowout. Also on the Clippers vs Dallas, I think the home team are gonna avenge their previous loss, still no Leonard here but I like the Mavs taking the lead and finish at 6.

They have been blowing out the Heat after they got upset in game 2, so in a game that they will close the series, they will play harder and better as they are on their home court. I like the pick although the spread is high, and that over 30 points win is surely possible. Like the game 3 and 4, Celtics have to start strong in the first half so the heat cannot come back anymore. I'm also excited on the game tomorrow and I'm confident in choosing the Celtics -14.

Also on the Clippers vs Dallas, I think the home team are gonna avenge their previous loss, still no Leonard here but I like the Mavs taking the lead and finish at 6.

This is 50/50 for me, it's hard to predict especially that the Clippers are underdog after they defeated the Mavericks with the same line up. Actually, their 2 games was without Leonard, so missing Leonard in game 5 should not be a problem.

I had a tough time picking a winner for that game as well.  Ultimately it was Kawhi being out with an injury that pushed me to Dallas.  Kyrie and Luka seem to be getting the hang of playing with each other finally and they're having success.  On the other hand, Paul George and James Harden can have a good game and change the outcome on any given night, so I really think it will be a close game.  Dallas seems like they're one or two supporting pieces away from being able to make a championship run.  We'll see if they can hold their core together long enough to make it happen.

[morvillz7z]

∆ J. Tatum 8+ rebounds / J. Holiday 1+ stocks / D. White 15+ PA @1.67 ∆  won

It would be a shock if the Celtics do not wrap up things today and enjoy a proper rest before the next round. CLE/ORL series is likely to see Game 7 the way it's going so far.

Tatum leads the Celtics in rebounds and reb chances, averaging 10 a game, 8+ rebounds in 4/L4.

Holiday hasn't been the most efficient at shooting the ball, but he's been rock solid on defense, which is why Boston brought him in. He leads both teams in stocks (steals + blocks) with almost 3 a game. 1+ stocks in 4/L4...i don't see why he won't get one.

Derrick White had an explosive Game 4 in Miami, scoring 38 points. It's hard to expect the same stats and performance, but he should be good for 15+ PA, that's quite a low number.  He ranks third on the team in FGA, only behind Tatum and Brown, but leads the team in FG% and 3P%. 15+ PA in 4/L4.

Brutal in more ways than 1.  Shoukd have gone 3-0 but the knciks completely and utterly collapsed in the last 30 seconds.  Brutal as a gambler and a knick fan.  I'm sick but hey ho here is another day.  Got 2 picks in and calling it a day:

Boston -13.5 they smell blood and they close the series out at home.  This should be a tough one even though they lost kp for some time. 

Clippers +3.5 I like Dallas here but giving points to the road team seems crazy, gimme the home team here.

Good luck and enjoy the games
