NBA 2023-2024 betting

[yahoo62278]

I don't know if the Celtics to cover their spread remains the unpopular opinion here, but that's what I'm riding with but with a "Likkle caution", I'm going Boston Celtics -4.5 @ 1.62 Odds.

I also got the Celtics spread, even though this game points to the Mavs likely covering, I believe the Celtics can finally break the trend this time.

I've also heard the injury news about Doncic, but I doubt that'll be an advantage for the Celtics when he's always up for the task, and continuously puts up big performances.

Celtics have just taken their first lead of the game, 36-35 in the 2nd Quarter, and I must say it's been all down to Luka Doncic he's score about 20 of the Dallas Mavericks 35 points so far.

It's been a more balanced game this time around, but the Celtics have been somewhat awful from 3 points attempt so far here.

Boston 2/14 from 3 point land in the 1st half, pretty much what I expected. They were red hot in game 1 and we all know Dallas would make adjustments for this game. Close game but Boston up at halftime by 3. Wouldn't be surprised to see kyrie turn it on in the 2nd half and Dallas win the game.

Looks like the final count was 3/15 on 3 pointers in the 1st half for Boston. They made 1 in the last minute when I went to the bathroom. Now Boston looks to have taken control of the game and is up by 10 in the final minute of the 3rd. Dallas better wake up at home or we are looking at a sweep.

Yeah right, I just however find it really weird that the Dallas Mavericks have almost zero margin for error in this game, with how Dallas Mavericks and Doncic have improved significantly from game 1, and given how terrible the Celtics have shot the 3 point, the Celtics still taking the lead into the half shows how awful Celtics can be and still win games, like they've done a lot of times in this playoffs, especially against the Pacers. Celtics just have way too many options and ways to win a game, I guess that's why they're considered the favorite for this series, because if only they had made their 3 point shots, then we probably would have been on the brink of another blowout win for them.

[passwordnow]

3.05 for Dallas on stake.com if they win for game 2. Not that much difference compared to the game 1 but still, I'd take the risk and will bet on them. So, good luck to all of us that have their own respective bets, win or lose, we're all friends and will definitely going to watch some good basketball later on.

Here is my pick. I ain't going to be analytic anymore when it comes to the Finals, it's more of a fanbase emotional pick.   So, it's not recommended.
Boston Celtics - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks ML @3.05
Over 213.5 @1.79

I trust the Mavs will have an answer after that bad loss.
Good luck everyone and let's enjoy the game later.

We're the same here bro and I hope to see a win for the Dallas Mavericks this time. But again, this is just all for fun and happiness that we're doing, no matter what happens, happens.  
Enjoy your bet too bro.

I'm glad to see a lot of backers for Dallas here, which makes me more confident in my bet. I'm also on the same side with the over, as I think Dallas was shut down in game 1 but will find a way to show their true offense. When they played in the WCF, it was an offense vs defense team, so I think in the NBA Finals, it's offense vs offense since Boston has everyone on the floor who knows how to shoot the ball, even from the outside.

My prediction is that it could go way over the total according to our sportsbook. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes over 240, so let's hit this one on the road.

Bro, watching them now is quite painful. I think that this is another game for the Celtics but that's fine. Our boy Luka is doing everything he can but still that's not enough. But with the remaining five minutes on the game, I don't think that it will be over 240 but still good luck to those that have bet for that. I'm just accepting that whatever goes with the Dallas and if they're going to be 0-2 then I am also 0-2 with them.

Since all of the Dallas Mavericks bettors are also here, that made me want to bet continuously until this series is over. I hope that even before the series ends, Dallas will get a win. There's still a long haul for this series even if this game 2 ends. But one thing for sure is that this game is going to cover up to game 4 or even more than that. 
With my potential loss on this game, I'm looking to give up already and accepting it. Here we go again, and will wait for the Mavs bounce back on 3.

[GreatArkansas]

I am ready for the Game 2 of Boston versus Dallas.

I am still betting for the Boston Celtics for a game 2 winner as for their momentum and home-court advantage.

I did also side-bet on player props for Jaylen Brown and Porzingis.
Jaylen Brown - we have seen how Jaylen steals in the last few games and I believe he can steal with great defense and speed.
Porzingis - Last game 1, Porzingis did an amazing surprise showdown, Dallas didn't expect that, so for sure they know now what to do with Porzingis, now I am betting the show he did last game will not happen again this time.

2/3 from my side.
The -7.5 Boston really sucks haha, only lost by 0.5.
From the amount I bet, I just break even.

Let's proceed to Game 3.
The odds now are totally different and odds now favor Dallas as we all know, the home-court advantage for sure.
Since for game 1 and game 2, always Boston Celtics.

[stadus]

Game 2 now in the NBA finals.

I've seen how good the Celtics in game 1, and judging on it, this looks like another blowout win by the home team. However, I think Dallas will not allow that as they haven't loss 2 straight in the playoffs AFAIR. Now, I'm gonna be taking the Dallas handicap and a little bet on the moneyline.

Dallas +6.5  and (ML) loss
Over 214.5 loss

Updated record 22(W)-26(L)..... 46%

I can't believe Dallas can't score, once again, they are dominated in the game, the last quarter run was not enough to make the game close. I even loss my +6.5 since the Celtics lead was 7 points. For the last time, I will be betting on Dallas moneyline as they'll be back at home and they can't go down 0-3 as it's close to over.

Congratulations to the winners here,

@Harkorede..

@ralle14.. sorry mate, you loss on the 0.5

Almost but ain't enough to cover your handicap, Boston's defense really executed so well that's gives tough time for Mavs to score back, I guess the 2 next games will be more exciting as Mavs will do everything not to give any chance for Boston to snatch a game against them at home, while for Boston they will do everything not to repeat that same scenarios the last time they've been given chance to play for the finals.

For Mavs fans putting money for them will not be a hard decision to make, chances to win and cover the handicap may take place, it's a matter of game executions.

[wheelz1200]

I got Dallas at +7.5 yesterday book is down to 6.5 so money must be coming in.  Also got the under at 214
5 and that line went up to 215.5.  Seems like a lot of people are putting in on the over.  I still think Dallas turns up the defense and keeps this game close to 100 each.  Something like a 105-102 type game.  Whoever gets hot at the end wins it.  Enjoy the game everyone should be a good one.

Wow what a game.  Glad I made my Dallas bet the day before when it was at +7.5, it dropped to 6.5 and the score ended up with Boston only winning by 7.  Crazy how spot on tue lines are.  Also nailed the under too.  Seems like the under is gonna be the play here.  Can't see Dallas winning 4 of the next 6 games unless something dramatic happens.

Betting early worked well for you, congrats @wheelz1200.. Game was so intense if you are betting on the point spread, but most of us loss our bet as it stayed at +6.5. The handicap could have easily covered even if its +6.5 only if Dallas were shooting their FT well.

As per record in that game. Dallas shoot 16-24 only in the FT line while Boston has only missed 1 with 19-20 record.

I hope Dallas will be playing better at home, especially the FT shooting which is very crucial in the game.  IF only Dallas have the same shooting percentage with the Celtics in the FT, the game could have went to OT.

[OgNasty]

Here's my bet for tomorrow's game.  After looking over the different bets I didn't really see anything worth betting on as far as odds go, so I figured I'd punt it and hope that Dallas manages to surprise Boston on the Mavericks home court to keep from being swept.  I think if they do manage to avoid going down 0-3, it will be barely winning.  We'll see.  Anything can happen and I sort of expect Boston to win, but the odds just didn't justify making that bet.

Bettors that are also Mavs fans won't mind about losing by placing a bet on them again. This time, it's gonna be the game 3 and more hopes are being placed on them to win on their home.

While the impressive straight two wins are there for the Celtics, the series hasn't ended yet and as long as the series haven't ended yet. There's more to go.

I'm not trying to mock anyone but it's funny when I've seen someone said Mavs @ 6. Possible for straight four wins.

I don't think that it's not that hard though, I mean Mavs is the favorite to win now and so as fans you will likely to bet on your team to win and avoid a sweep. Obviously, jobs not done here by the Celtics, they have similar advantage if I'm not mistaken against the Warriors in 2022 and they are leading until the Warriors get back and win the next couple of games.

So for Dallas, still time for them, but game 3 will definitely be crucial, it will be in their homecourt so they needed this win to get that momentum.

I'm going with Dallas at ML like at 1.75.

Good luck with your bet! I'm on the same side as you, but I took the spread at -2. I'm planning to double my bet if Dallas wins game 3 because I believe they'll be able to even the series in game 4. Isn't it exciting to see this series going down to a best of 3 after game 4? I think if that's what the fans want to see, the NBA will give it to us.

We'll also see the impact of the Celtics not having KP in game 3, as he is listed as questionable, but I believe he will be unlikely to play. The Celtics won't risk aggravating his injury now that they are up 2-0.

That's a great catch as I also believe that Dallas will do everything to protect the homecourt edge, and if ever that they will lose again the chance of wnning the title will be more harder, they need to win and bring that momentum back and who knows we might see that chance of seeing the series to a final game 7 do-or-die title game.

We'll also see the impact of the Celtics not having KP in game 3, as he is listed as questionable, but I believe he will be unlikely to play. The Celtics won't risk aggravating his injury now that they are up 2-0.

I guess Boston will take every consideration if possible to risk KP, he and Jrue are the key advantage giving Dallas that momentum will not be a good option, they will do everything to win as the title is now closer to happen.

[passwordnow]

The odds for stake is not that a lot for Dallas Mavericks and I'm expecting with the other bookies and providers too. However, I've already started these bets I've made for the past games that I am betting with them and so, still let's go Mavs!  

I'm going with Dallas at ML like at 1.75.

I'm with you brother, who else is with us?

Why not take the spread instead? If we truly believe that Dallas is going to win, then it should be a convincing one. They won't give the Celtics a chance to make it a close game, as they might choke, although they are good in clutch moments, especially Luka. Dallas just needs one win to awaken their confidence. It seems like they are hesitant and too reliant on Luka. Where was the ball movement that we saw during the WCF?

[danherbias07]

It's Time! Oh sorry, this ain't UFC.  
NBA is so damn long that you can do some damn things like that.

I don't like the odds, I don't like the spreads. Bookies should stick with Dallas as underdogs. Why? Because I will still bet for it.
Not recommended picks. But here they are.

Dallas Mavericks - Boston Celtics - Dallas Mavericks (-3.5)

Many do believe that they will be swept. Not me. Even if it goes 3-0, the series ain't over yet.
There will be adjustments and I saw Coach Kidd made some adjustments in Game 2 and Luka's stats is the proof of that. More assists means he is distributing the ball well. They just need to be better on the defensive end.

Good luck everyone.

I am believing that they're going to win this time and that's why even if they've got me lost two straight wins. I don't mind them because I know that this is going to be theirs. Waiting for them to tie the series at 2-2 but before that happens, we need to see them win first a game and make it a 2-1. It's so hard to see on our eyes that they're on a 0-2 run against the Celtics. But who knows, the two games have been seen that they're able to improve and that's why despite that they've got that standing as of now, many are still believing on them that they'd do.

I don't like the odds, I don't like the spreads. Bookies should stick with Dallas as underdogs. Why? Because I will still bet for it.

I was expecting that because it's already a 2-0, the Mavs should be given that odds as underdogs but maybe the homecourt advantage does have a factor.

[Harkorede]

While I'd like the Dallas to win the game to make the series interesting, I'd be having my bet on Boston Celtics tonight, It's understandable that Celtics are the underdogs tonight and also KP have been ruled out for the game, I still think the Odds has underrated the Celtics quite much, due to how they've won most of the matches in this playoffs without Porzingis. I'm expecting them to still be able to find the answers to taming the Mavs in Dallas as well tonight.

So, Celtics ML it is, for me!




GL!

[wheelz1200]

Dallas at home and favored by 3.5.  Thought I'd be going Celtics but with porzingas out I feel like Dallas knows this is a must win (not that they all arent).  Threw in a small bet on Dallas.  But my bigger bet comes with the under 214.5.  Both first games hit the under and with porzingas out I expect the same to hit.  Be something like a 105-98 type of game.  Hopefully Dallas can extend it.  Enjoy the game and good luck everyone!

[ralle14]

My heart wants to take the Mavs today, but the Celtics' match-winner odds are too good to be this high. Still, I don't mind if the Mavs win today since I prefer this final to go all the way.

@ralle14.. sorry mate, you loss on the 0.5

It's all good, I paid the price for being a bit greedy as I took the closing spread that was one point higher than the opening spread.
