NBA 2023-2024 betting

[yahoo62278]

Wasn't sure where to go tonight. Took Boston 0105.5 total, Dallas -5.5, and Dallas -3.5. All straight bets and likely win 1 lose 2 or lose 1 win 2. I don't think there's a shot at winning all 3. Would love to see Kyrie and Luka dominate in front of the home crowd. Guess we shall see in 20 mins. GL everyone.

Porzingas ruled out, Mavs love that.

Nearing the midway point of the 3rd quarter, not loving anything except maybe the Boston o105.5, even that is iffy currently.

No Porzingis ? No Problem says the Celtics, they're currently 15 points ahead going into the 4th Quarter.

I don't see the Dallas Mavericks turn this around within 12 minutes, except of course they can start the quarter brilliant and get stops consistently defensively, maybe they should force Celtics to take some 3 with the hope they miss, but at that too they can't afford to give up any second chance opportunity to Celtics.

Mavs got it to within 1 in the 4th went on a 22-2 run or something crazy. Looked like a game til Luka fouled out and then you kind of knew it was game over.

Like I thought though 1 win 2 losses on my bets. Boston will take the crown this year, no way Dallas wins 4 in a row.

[btc_angela]

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.

Unfortunately, the Dallas team make the game very hard for them by trying to do a catchup. They make a huge comeback down from 20+ and they were able to close the game. However, the Celtics has that one kick in themselves and Jaylen Brown have to bail them out in this game.

Very sad for the Dallas team, they had a good first half, but Luka has missing so many shots and then not that big help. Only Lively and PJ Washington scored in double digit besides Kyrie. Down 0-3 now, impossible for Dallas to recover.

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.

It turned out it wasn't.  

Dallas now down 0-3, this series is not over in paper but we know no team has ever come back from this deficit, so better at this early we already conceid as I'm sure Dallas won't be fighting this uphill battle anymore, they'll probably rest early than going back to Boston for game 5 which they'll likely loss again.

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.

KP can rest all he wants because he is not needed anymore. I thought Dallas had the advantage when KP was out but they just could not stop the accurate 3 point shooting of Celtics. Again, that corner shots was deadly. Boston shoots 37% from beyond the arc and they made the timely shots that gave them a comfortable lead.

Again, that corner shots was deadly. Boston shoots 37% from beyond the arc and they made the timely shots that gave them a comfortable lead.

It's all I have been saying all along Celtics have way to many options to hurt any team, even when they are not playing distinctively well enough, they had a rough start from shooting behind the arc and trailed by as many as 13 points, but they still remain insight as they resulted make cut passes and going to rim a couple of times, although it was the 3 points shots that helped the get 21 points which they very close to blowing it if Doncic actually wasn't stupid to pick up 2 very quick personal foul that highly unnecessary.

I thought this would be a great series, but it's as though we are heading for a sweep here, and the Boston Celtics are still yet to lose a single game in the playoffs this year, that's an impressive stuff.

So, Celtics ML it is, for me!

I'm glad I backed the Boston Celtics here, might do the same for game 4 as well.

Did you consistently back the Celtics in the series so far?

If you did, you're on a winning streak because they have covered the spread in the last three games. Game 4 might be the same, as Dallas probably won't play with the same energy knowing they are about to be eliminated. So, it's likely going to be a blowout win by the Celtics. I think I'm riding with you on this one.

[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've cheered and bet for Mavs but I accept the result, 0-3 for the Mavs and Celtics is just too good. I'm still going to count on them for the game 4. Take it or leave, I've done my part for them but it seems that Celtics is the stronger team. With this standing, we all know that it's rare to see a team to have a comeback from a 0-3 deficit. So even I know for the last match that it might be the last, still, I am breathing with the Mavs. 

KP can rest all he wants because he is not needed anymore. I thought Dallas had the advantage when KP was out but they just could not stop the accurate 3 point shooting of Celtics. Again, that corner shots was deadly. Boston shoots 37% from beyond the arc and they made the timely shots that gave them a comfortable lead.

We all thought that without KP, the advantage is there but Celtics is just too good. And if KP is healthy for the game 4, I don't think that the Celtics are going to let him just rest. They'd show no mercy as this is the most important series and game of their lives.

First, Congrats to that win! 

I was in the impression that Mavs will take this game and put the pressure to Boston but it turned out that Boston is not willing to let this opportunity to pass again, Dallas manage to cut that huge leads but unable to snatch the game, almost but not enoug time to make that upset, I like how Boston play the game to be honest, Tatum and Brown managed to counter that offensive attack from Mavs star duos, Kyrie/Luka 62 points combined while Tatum/Brown got 61 points though it's the support from the entire group that Mavs still lacking unlike with Boston where the help can come from anyone inside, Luka and Kyrie are carrying the heavy loads.

[Japinat]

I was in the impression that Mavs will take this game and put the pressure to Boston but it turned out that Boston is not willing to let this opportunity to pass again, ....

Boston has been in that situation before in past NBA Finals, where they were up 2-0 but then lost to the Warriors. Dallas couldn't make their usual shots, and that's the problem. The points coming from Kyrie and Luka weren't easy, unlike the Celtics, where everyone can score. They are good at passing the ball and rotating to defend Dallas's shooters.

Dallas just doesn't have the kind of defense that the Celtics have, and they are heavily reliant on Luka and Irving. Though both played well, it still resulted in the same outcome. They need more than that to win in their last chance in Game 4, but I doubt bettors would still trust them.

[FanEagle]

It's basically over, we are all aware of it, but I still think that fourth game will be Dallas win. Because Boston is aware that they already won, it is not going to be a comeback from 3-0 down, it's done, the title is theirs and they can start celebrating.

And Dallas is aware that if they do not win the next game, they are going to be swept in the finals, a humiliating thing in the end, so they will try to win at least one, if possible two games even if they lose in the end. So, I think next game could be Dallas, but to be fair I have said Dallas could get the title as well and I was wrong, so I am a bit biased towards Dallas. Maybe it will be a sweep, we still do not know who will win, but I will bet on Dallas to win the next one.

It's a big risk for bettors though it might be depending to how bookies will play with the odds,  gamblers always look for that and even how big the risk it is as long as the odds attracts them then surely there are still gamblers that will take it, moving back to how the game being played,  I agree with you as mentioned Kyrie and Luka provided decent productions but ain't enough to carry and win the game, with the way Boston read Mavs system they continue to have that good rotations to cover any possible open spot for the Mavs, which really help them winning the game, good defense and very balance offense brings them this huge edge, one more win and the series will be over.

[Harkorede]

Yes, I have!

The time I didn't back them was in game, and that was because I didn't trust in them but I decided to go for the Over then instead, but since game 2 I've been all Celtics! They consistently limited the Dallas Mavericks to under 100 points in each of the matches so far in this series, and this might well have a 4-0 sweep written all over it!

Celtics in 4!

Sometimes in sports a weaker team can surprise everyone and win. I know you know this one since we are talking about comeback: "CLEVELAND THIS IS FOR YOU".

I know this is different story and no team has ever come back from losing 3-0 in the NBA Finals, but it could still happen. If Dallas wins Game 4, it might make them feel better and keep the series going. They will try hard not to lose all four games and they might play their best. Boston is likely to win, but sports can be surprising (just like what happen to Tyson Fury vs the Chinese guy). Let's see if Dallas can win the next game.

[jossiel]

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.

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.

And then it goes like that, Dallas lost again. 0-3 for this NBA finals and we know where it's going though.

Sometimes in sports a weaker team can surprise everyone and win. I know you know this one since we are talking about comeback: "CLEVELAND THIS IS FOR YOU".

That was with a different Lebron back then.

I agree that there are some twists that might happen but on this one, it's the numbers that the Dallas has to beat and it's very unlikely that they might be able to do that.

[freedomgo]

For the last time... still not tired of backing the Dallas Mavericks?

Game 4 point spread:

Dallas -1 vs. Boston +1
Total: 211 (Last 3 games went under)

The Celtics are on a mission, and based on their previous rounds' results, they either lose one game or win by sweep. But this is the NBA Finals, so most likely they won't relax after being up 3-0. I guess Dallas has no chance in Game 4, but I think they'll be shooting well. So, my prediction here is Boston winning the game while the total goes over 211.

I'm tired already that's why I want them to end it already on the road.
I already put a bet on the Celtics that's why I want them to end it and get their 18th title. I wonder what Mark Cuban's reaction will be.

Anyway, the current record is 156-0 and it will be 157-0 after this one. This is pretty much over already, so let's just wait on what game will this end. I will only believe on a comeback when the Mavericks push this game into a Game 7. Well, there are teams that have already did it in the past including the Celtics. Like you, I don't also think that the Mavericks has a chance in winning against the Celtics because they're just too much for them. Many three-pointers, great defenders, better depth. They have everything, and it will only be a complete disappointment for the Celtics if they will not win the title this time.

Well, I already put a bet on the Celtics winning in Game 4, so get the title BOSTON!!!!

[stadus]

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.

Nice steal getting those high odds. In my bookie now, it's already 1.92, so you getting that extra is better than the current odds. Well, I guess you are right with your pick. It's pretty obvious that the Celtics are the better team now. Dallas had their chances but failed big time. So, it's okay not to follow your heart, as that's the right bet. Even if you were wrong, I'm sure you'd still get the Celtics in game 5.

By the way, duelbits got some mega boost for  Celtics to win 6-10 points, that's currently 7.50 from 5.50.

[passwordnow]

Likely the last ride for this Mavs and Celtics series. If the Mavs won't let me win, that's fine. Everything is a gamble and so as theirs. But this time, I've bet for two, the game winner and as well as the total points. The odd for under 209.5 is much better than game winner so I'd choose that one and with the game winner is just 1.91. So again, good luck Celtics and Mavs fans. If the game closes by Celtics tonight, then all of them gonna have early rest and vacation.

[danherbias07]

Later might become the last bet of our season as many NBA enthusiasts are predicting this series as a sweep.
But the Mavs fans will never give up on their star duo. I am part of that. So, even though the odds are almost identical, I will take it.

Here is my pick for the game later.

It looks like the bookies are expecting the Mavs to keep this game at a close gap or maybe win it. I do hope so. I don't want this series to end yet. Who knows if the Mavs will be the first one to make the miraculous comeback that had never been done before?

Good luck everyone! Enjoy the game!
