NBA 2023-2024 betting

I am not entirely sure if Dallas is the favourites, sure they did manage to beat some tough teams to get here, and even beat some tough teams that beat other tough teams, hence why many think that it is quite possible for Dallas to win.

But, we need to remember that Boston has been quite strong as well. Just because they manage to beat their opponents easily, doesn't mean they had easy opponents, it just means that we are going to end up seeing a team that is actually quite good. I am not saying Boston will win, I am just saying Dallas doesn't have a sure thing here, we are going to probably see both teams go head to head quite strong, and I can see that this could also be a six or seven game series as well, they are quite evenly matched.

The hype probably belong to the Dallas as they almost sweep the Timberwolves in the series, while the Celtics came from a boring victory as they easily dominated their opponents, swept the Pacers in the ECF. That's why we re gambling because there's no assurance as to what team will win, but if you are  Dallas fan and you are confident they'll beat the Celtics, you should not waste your time and take that +184 while it's still available.

They are not the betting favorite, as per the odds already released by casinos.

As far as regular season goes, they are the best team, as they have the best record and then they are boasted by Jayson Tatum and Brown. It's just Dallas has one of the best player right now in Luka. But I will be taking the Celtics here at -4.5 in game one and then see how it goes. Porzingis will be back as he is badly needed, so I think he will contribute here and Tatum and Brown doesn't want to happen to them when they go to the finals 2 years ago and lost to the Warriors.

I would take the -6.5 for a better odds. This Dallas hype has been all over, making the handicap very attractive. With that said, I think it's time to bet against them as this could be a blowout win by the Celtics. I'm thinking Celtics are gonna win by blowout in game 1, and Dallas will take game 2 or just cover the handicap but will loss.

Odds are out on stake for the first game of Celtics and Mavericks later. I have bet for the Mavericks and good luck to everyone whichever team you choose to bet with. This is still the first game of the series so, let's just all enjoy and no fans war, we just wanna watch a good match for this finals.

And that's why I am going to try and just happily gamble and bet on them. No heart feelings if I lose but I just like their past performances so, my money is on them. 

[Natalim]

Good luck with your bet mate. I can't resit betting on the Mavericks, however, I need to be more careful here, so I'll just put a little bet just to feel the thrill watching the game. Dallas had surprised the Wolves, I'm not sure they can win game 1 here, but let's enjoy watching this game.

Same here, with a small amount, it doesn't matter if I lose but I will not go against my instinct this time, not in the NBA finals.

Thanks! That's fine, it doesn't matter whether you bet big or small. What matters here is what you wanna do with the first game. Some are just going to watch and speculate and see who's got the upper hand but everyone just want to watch alongside with some bets just for the thrill of it.

Good luck to you as well, just cast that bet of yours and just enjoy the game later. Well, I've already placed mine, I forgot to share it.



I'm just for the series(game 1) winner, maybe on the next games I'd go with the other bets that can be done through this finals.

[Harkorede]

I know I'm just as excited as everyone else with the apparent commencement of the 2024 NBA Finals, I'm really not trying to get ahead of myself with my expectations or predictions. I'm going with Over 214.5 total points @ 1.70 Odds, there are some many hypes for certain match-ups, KP availability and Luka and Kyrie potential backcourt-duo dynasty, but the series is rather way too young to be dwelling on ifs and buts, so I'm rooting for good offensive efficiency to be at play for Game 1

Total Points: Over 214.5

[OgNasty]

I think that Boston will win this series.  I think that Boston will win tonight's game.  However, I don't like the odds against Dallas that I'm seeing.  Especially for a game 1 when Dallas has already beaten them multiple times during the season and Boston has been without Kristaps Porzingis for a few games.  I think tonight has all the makings of an upset, so I'm going with the best odds for Dallas here.  I think they can lose by less than 9 and have a chance to win, so there you have it.  I would've taken Boston to win if the odds were better.


Boston Celtics - Dallas Mavericks
Handicap (Incl. Overtime)
Dallas Mavericks (8.5)

I had to change my bet from the Mavs to the Celtics' first-half handicap (-3.5), even though I like the full time handicap for the Mavs, you can't go wrong with the first-half handicap on the Celtics when it's only by a few points. This market wasn't that great during the Pacers series, but I think it'll be different against the Mavs, and they could struggle with the pace of the Celtics based on their previous meetings.

[danherbias07]

I didn't know that there would be a lot of NBA fans in my neighborhood that would be up against me.
Sadly, their offers are too bad than what is offered in the online bookies.
x2 only for them without a plus while in the bookies I can get x3. So, I decided to just bet online rather than betting against them.

In 47 minutes (time of writing) the Finals tip-off will begin. Finally.
Here is my pick.

Boston Celtics - Dallas Mavericks - Over 214.5
Boston Celtics - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks ML @3.05.

Good luck everyone.
Risky bet but profitable if the Mavs can somehow steal this game against the Celtics home.

I don't like the end of the first half, my money is on the line and I'm panicking! Just joking, not looking for the Mavs and they need to bounce back for the 2nd quarter. This is the score for the first half:

Code:

63-42

That's 21 points on the lead by the Celtics, they're on fire but the game hasn't ended yet and we've seen a lot of cinderella games like this that the lead was so much and then the opposing team were able to get back. Let's see how the next half will be going, so that's two quarters still and I hope that the Mavs are going to at least fight for my money. Haha!
Whatever the results will be, I'm fine and totally this is part of it but as long as the game isn't ended yet, there's still hope for me.

Easy cash for you! as Boston leads double digits during the first half and still maintain that lead up to this point, one more quarter and we will see if who will going to take this game, though the lead is still huge but knowing how the team can manage to outrun their opponents Boston needs to continue making their attacks and not to be careless to keep and maintain their lead.

It's now needed for Kyrie and Luka to bring that spark if they failed to deliver then this first game will be for the home team.

[Viscore]

It's now needed for Kyrie and Luka to bring that spark if they failed to deliver then this first game will be for the home team.

This is not alarming yet as we've seen a lot of games in the playoff where one team loss by a huge margin but the next game they come back with a big win. Even if the outcome is not good for Dallas, it's still scored as 1-0 in the series, and it's a must win for the Boston since they need to protect their home court.

There's still game 2, and now that the hype has shifted to the Celtics, I think it's about time to take Dallas to win in game 2, yeah, I'm talking about the money odds which is bigger since they now opened at +7.5.. Also, you guys might want to check the series odds, Dallas had a very enticing one.

But many of us here has been trapped by the initial odds for Dallas as the Celtics won by double digit. So pre-game betting, many of us lost in the first game because it seems that majority is pro Dallas here.

Anyway, it's just one game, maybe Jason Kidd will adjust, the Celtics put a good defense on Kyrie and then limiting Luka with his passes. Although he had double double in point and rebounds. Boston will still be the favorite in game 2. And starting handicap is -/+4.5.

I bet on Dallas as mentioned in my previous post, hoping the game would be fun. However, the game didn't provide much fun as, from the get-go, it was the Celtics who dominated the Dallas Mavericks. I couldn't see the effectiveness of their big men, Gafford and Lively, who were very limited in this game.

Though they both had 100% FG, they only combined for 10 points. I guess next time I will be more careful, hehe. But in game 2, Dallas should be more competitive.

. Boston will still be the favorite in game 2. And starting handicap is -/+4.5.

What sports betting are you using? Because what I saw was + - 7.5

We're together on this brother, we're the ones that drew the firstblood for the losers. 
It's not a big amount but I felt that pain of losing not for my money but for them. And that is because the game 1 seems to be didn't breathe for their end and that's the reason why I felt bad for both sides.

Gafford and Lively, who were very limited in this game.

I was waiting for them honestly and thought that Coach Jason Kidd will give them more playing time because of how they did well against the Timberwolves. But because Maxi Kleber is there, he's given more time but I like more the tandem of the two when they are together. I know that Kleber is Kidd's choice but he should have given more playing time to the two when they've got the chemistry already. Anyway, the game 1's done and we have to look forward for the game 2, I don't know if I'll still bet for it but I might change my mind as I want to see Luka lift that trophy. And I didn't know that Luka is already engaged to his fiance'.

Yes, this is the finals so both teams will play their best cards here, I mean both coaches will play and execute the best game play that they ever designed, this is the best time for everyone to jive in and make it worth when given the chance to play, today's game is more on how Boston prepared for their tight defense it's only Luka who play big but his support unable to outsmart the tight defense of Boston's specialist, they need to adjust and find the best way to rotate the ball and find the open man.

We are gonna get this right in game 2, no more handicap, let's get the Dallas to even the series.
Game 1 was just one game, and this is a long series so it would be stupid for Jason Kidd not to make adjustment when their strategy is proven not working. It's time for the Dallas to surprise the home team in game 2, I don't need a blowout team, I just want to see Dallas winning even in a close game.

Gafford and Lively, who were very limited in this game.

Come on man, there's no fun in watching the game without a bet, just put a little if you are not so sure with Dallas. As for me, I trust them to deliver a victory as they don't want to go down 0-2.  On the previous rounds, I think Dallas got at least 1 win on the road.

Aside from what you mention about Dallas mistakes on game 1. Kyrie Irving not contributing what is expected to him is one of the main factor why game 1 is one-side all throughout the game. He didn’t even manage to score a 3 while he doesn’t contribute much to lessen Luka burden while Celtics players are all monster and has a high potential to score that’s why it’s very hard to guard them compared to Dallas that only Luka is creating points.

I believe game 2 will be the same scenario since it’s very hard to adjust with that kind of overwhelming defeat. I believe this game will be the type that both team will win on home then the deciding factor will be game 5 to 7.
