NBA 2023-2024 betting

[Viscore]

Whether Haliburton plays or not, the Indiana Pacers have the offensive firepower to compete, they can win.
Now I'm very positive with my +8 on Pacers tomorrow.

Good luck, mate, but honestly, I think this is a different scenario as I feel the Pacers will not be as hungry in the last 3 games. They know they have a very slim chance of coming back. I hope it will not affect their mentality, and they would just let the Celtics beat them. I don't know, but honestly, I'm not really confident betting on either team tomorrow. It's just that it could be the last game, and I'm not sure if it will be the home team or the road team.

I guess I would just take the over 222.50 since they are always playing a high-scoring game.

Dallas Mavericks - Minnesota Timberwolves - Dallas Mavericks ML @1.80. Win!
Over 205.5 @1.77 Win!

I put more money in that Over 205.5 and it's definitely worth it. I was so sure that number could be reached especially when in Game 2 the Mavs was not shooting good at threes. Now, it's the other way around, they are shooting lights out and that's why the Over was covered and more to spare.

Fruitful bravery from @stadus. -2.5 was also a winner. Congratulations.

Later, Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Do or Die for the Pacers. Will it be a sweep or not?
Here is my pick.

Indiana Pacers - Boston Celtics - Indiana Pacers ML @3.30
Over 220.5 @1.77
They can get a big lead, they can also keep it close. At least get a win and avoid a sweep. That's what I wish will happen. No news yet for Haliburton. Will lock my bet when the news comes out about his status.

Good luck everyone. Have a great day.

all right! to respect you, I will try a small bet on your selection, just small bet! Just giving a sign of respect, maybe we are lucky hahaha
although it is bet on over, I adjusted it a very little higher for a fair odds.
Ok, good luck to us.

That line is suspicious.  I have to lean hard on Boston-7.5 and over 222.5.  Can easily see this one topping 240.  Pacers at home this one is going to be a run and gun game.  Almost seems like a trap bet to me at this point but the bets are in and ready for the game.  Enjoy it everyone and good luck!

Yeah, the looks incredibly suspicious indeed! I also have the opinion that Celtics will end the series tonight, as of few minutes ago, it is official that Haliburton is out tonight, so the Pacers would have to repeat their approach of game 3, where they got all the players involved in majority of the plays and game plan, maybe they can stand a chance of ensuring that the NBA conference finals awards aren't ditched out to their Ops on their own home court.


I'm going for the early settlement bet tonight, I've got the Celtics to win and cover the -1.5 handicap spread in the 1st Quarter @ 1.80 Odds, I hope they start on the brightest side tonight.

[ralle14]

I skipped out on game three because I thought the Pacers would have an issue hitting the over without Haliburton. My doubts were wrong, they still went over 120 as the Pacers scored 60+ points. That said, i'll still go with the first half over, they've been consistently scoring a lot, and I still think we'd have another high-scoring half.

BOL with your 1st quarter bet, even though they've only covered that line once, I still like their chances since they're the best first-half team.

Thank you!

Just like the last time, they cover the spread for me just by the slightest margin, It could have turned out bad if TJ McConnell had shot a 3pt with that final shot or got fouled in the process of making that basket.

I might just take a couple of more live bet depending on how the lines is being valued.

Good luck with your first half bet, if both teams can get scoring early in the 2nd Quarter, then you should hit the over with ease.

Congrats on your quick first-quarter win on the Celtics.

Unfortunately, my first half over fell short by a point, they got it going early in the second quarter and I thought it would hit with how the live totals hovered around 120+ points. If only the team totals were available I should've taken those instead of the total for both teams.

The series have been a game of twists and turns, the momentum keeps swinging from one team to another, it really doesn't look like a series that should have ended up with a sweep, because the series result doesn't depict the real story of what transpired in the matches, Indiana Pacers could easily have won 2-3 of the 4 games, they outplayed the Boston Celtics for most of the series, even tonight to imo, just like game 3, and game 1, these are all games in which the Pacers could have won, but their lack of match closing ability have cost them dearly in this series. However, I think no one expected them to have made it this so far, and to be honest they really do deserve to be in the conference finals.

Andrew Nembhard with another monster performance, it's almost as though Tyrese Haliburton have been the one limiting the young lad's impacts and abilities.

Yup, if they just played well in the final few minutes of those games I agree that they might win those thress games but just the same with your statement, they deserves it and for sure they needed to have that good adjustments and learned from what those mistakes that they've done, they got the chance to play for the finals just fell short for the world title.

Congrats to those who managed to take profits from this series, let see if what will happen to the other side, if Dallas will also make that statement and sweep the Wolves, or, if Wolves will extend the series.

I guess I would just take the over 222.50 since they are always playing a high-scoring game.

They tricked us all because in the final 3 & 1/2 minutes they were shooting bricks while all game they were looking to cover the over 220.5 pts easily.
That corner 3 by Jrue Holiday sealed the win for the Celtics even with over a minute left Pacers just knew they weren't going to win because with the last shot by Boston they had a foul to give and didn't take it.

Those over bets that fall short by a single point are the worse.
Had the cover of +7.5 Indiana which was alot but was also blinded, just like everybody else here, thinking they would score above the 222.5 pts needed with my combination bet @6.60x

[danherbias07]

Indiana Pacers - Boston Celtics - Indiana Pacers ML @3.30 Loss!
Over 220.5 @1.77 Loss!

Lost both my bet, damn it.
Again, I thought the Indiana Pacers could win that game. Always the mistakes in the closing minutes of the game and that cost them the series. Surely, they have so much to learn. They are a young team so I bet they will come back stronger.
It's sad that it ended early but that's what most prediction was told.

Later we are back to the Western Conference Finals. Will it be a sweep or will be the Timberwolves try to survive.

Here are my picks.
Dallas Mavericks - Minnesota Timberwolves - Dallas Mavericks (-1.5) @1.92 - Yeah, just a bit greedy.
Over 209.5 @1.79

Might as well put some props for Daniel Gafford if ever Lively is not able to play due to the concussion in the previous game.
Daniel Gafford - Over 10.5 Points @1.79

Good luck everyone. Have a nice day.

I have been betting on the Mavs all of these other games, but I think this game I'm going to actually take the TWolves just because I feel like they are going to have to win at least one game.  I do wish the spread was a bit higher, so I'll probably just take the Twolves money line.  Even though the Wolves haven't won a game yet, it has been a pretty fun/interesting series to watch!

Probably not a bad call.  I'm the opposite, I've been betting the Timberwolves and getting hammered this series.  While I think you're probably right and the wolves aren't going to let themselves be swept, I also think they may be defeated mentally already and if they get down by a decent margin they'll probably give up, leading to them getting smoked.  I probably would've bet the Mavericks -10.5 if it was an option, but I'll stick with the -4.5.  I do think the odds of the Timberwolves getting blown out are pretty high, but I also agree they are going to try everything to take home the win.

I'm still yet to decide on which way to go, I'm more likely going to be leaning towards the over spread again, or maybe I might just go with the Timberwolves here, they're due for a win and I think they'll play well enough to protect their ego and avoid be swept here.

Luca Doncic listed as questionable would be of a huge impact should he fail to play today, and that could make the job rather easier for the Wolves. The first half Over spread is currently pegged at 103.5 @ 1.80 Odds, while the Total points spread for the match is at 211.5 @ 1.91 Odds.  There could be a low scoring encounter on either of the halves, which I think might be the second half.

I'll decide my pick closer to the tipoff when the availability of Mike Conley and/or Luca Doncic are both confirmed.

So no basketball for over a week if the Timberwolves are swept, as the NBA Finals start on June 6th.  I can't recall the last time both conference finals ended in a sweep. The NBA desperately needs this series not to conclude tonight. It's not like the Mavs have been that much better. MIN had 4th Q leads (with under 5 minutes) in all three games, though you can't deny Mavs have better closers, both Luka/Kyrie have been clutch in crunch time.

Scott Foster aka The Extender is the crew chief...perhaps he is the little push the T'Wolves need, some timely foul calls in the 4th Q could make the difference.

I have two plays, i'm doubling down on Ant's points, really unfortunate not to get the over in Game 3 as we needed one more point, but the good news is that volume was there, 24 FGA. I also like K. Anderson's PA line, he's covered in every game this series, and i won't be surprised if he gets more minutes than usual.

∆ Anthony Edwards o26.5 points @1.78 ∆  won

∆ Kyle Anderson o7.5 PA @1.81 ∆  X

Unfortunately that have been the story of both conference finals, Indiana Pacers as well could easily have won 3 of 4 games they played vs the Celtics, but it all came down to making the right plays down the stretch, and both Pacers and Minnesota Timberwolves have done a really awful job in that area game after game without learning from the previous games.


--------------------

I'm rooting for this series to be extended too, to be very honest... And because the Timberwolves have been a terrible team in the 2nd half of this series, I'm picking them to win the 1st Half @ 2.00 Odds

Possible.

There's a possiibility that the Wolves will get this 4th and then the next game, they'd lose it.

Even though the Wolves haven't won a game yet, it has been a pretty fun/interesting series to watch!

No doubt and it is going to take a few hours from now until the game starts.

I'm also on the Timberwolves first half, but this time it's only for the team totals (over 51.5 for 1.8 odds), they've gone 3/3 with the over first-half points, and I highly doubt the Timberwolves would go slow in this elimination game.

As much as i'd want the series to last longer, I still need the Mavs to close it out today since I have them winning by less than 6 points in the prediction league. Then again, Scott Foster is officiating this game, so my prediction will probably get spoiled, and a game five could be on the horizon. 

[GreatArkansas]

Who is already watching the Game 4 of Timberwolves vs Mavericks?
Good start from Timberwolves but I took it as advantage to get goods odds and I am betting on Mavericks for +4.5
I just bet even the Timberwolves are already +10 from the Dallas mavericks. Goodluck
