NBA 2025-2026 betting

[OgNasty]

I haven’t dipped my toe in the gambling pool yet for this NBA season, but I somewhat regret not betting on the Celtics yesterday.

You may have missed that betting on Celtics yesterday, they'll be playing against the Washington Wizards next.

I guess that's a good match for them to win again if you want to bet on them. But it's still the opening season and most of these games aren't that important to them.

I decided to throw a little something down on a parlay.  I wanted to add the Bucks to win for a fourth game on the multi-bet, but the 76ers look like they're off to a good start so I chickened out and removed them.  We'll see if I'm able to get myself a W for the first bet of the year.

Miami Heat - Orlando Magic

Los Angeles Clippers - Phoenix Suns

Hello guys, we are back here. Let's have a fun season.

A lot of games started so early and I forgot to place my bets last night (in my timeline). Well, here are my picks for today's games that will start later.

Portland Trail Blazers - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-5.5)
Los Angeles Clippers - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-2.5)


The Warriors are in the hype during the pre-season and I think Buddy Hield is such a great addition to their team, I just hope there are no rattling moments in this season for him. He is a good player and I think he will be better with the Warriors type of plays.

It took me some time to make the posts, I literally forgot how I did it last season. Good luck with your bets everyone.

I got handed a big fat L for my first bet of the year. Jimmy Butler went for 3 points on 1 of 8 shooting. What the heck was that? He allowed the Magic to destroy my parlay.

Durant and Beal are looking good after one quarter for the Suns. Glad to see Beal getting some action. He was a pretty big disappointment for me last season.

I got unlucky yesterday as the Lakers bet the Wolves  

Suns vs Clippers - Live betting as I have Suns -3.5 at 170. Odds are changing fast, it used to be 1.8x but the Suns has scored a basketball that's why it went to 1.70.

Let's see, hopefully I will get my first win here,

Heat lost against the Magic, Bam and Jimmy's stats aren't impressive.

GSW won.

Whilst, Clippers and the Suns are on game now and they're at OT after ending Q4 in 103-103. KD got it.

Heat lost against the Magic, Bam and Jimmy's stats aren't impressive.

I lost my bet on that one too. I had the home team covering that low spread, but they ended up getting blown out by the Magic.

GSW won.

They carried that momentum right into the regular season, and it ended with a 35-point victory with contributions from everyone. Buddy Hield was the leading scorer with 22 points, and he only played 15 minutes- talk about being impressive.

Whilst, Clippers and the Suns are on game now and they're at OT after ending Q4 in 103-103. KD got it.

That was an epic matchup, especially with Harden carrying the team in the second half. The OT was the Suns' only chance to cover the spread, but they ended up winning by just 3 points. If Booker hadn't fouled out, they might have been able to dominate the Clippers in OT.

[Ziskinberg]

If Pacers will push the win I agree that it can be a double digit lead seems that bookies favoring a bit the homecourt advantage of Detroit but comparing how these two team played the game  Pacers is more superior than Detriot not unless there's something that bookies are seeing to give this kind of a close margins, no spare for now but I like the handicap for Pacers. Good luck!

They didn’t get a double-digit win, but they covered the spread - barely. The spread was -5.5, and they took it by 6. That 4th quarter was huge; they outscored Detroit by double digits. Glad they made that run in the end, giving bettors a nice profit.

What do you think about tomorrow’s bets? Dallas is -8 against the young Spurs, even without Luka, who's still not back from his injury. Seems like a weird line to me. I’m leaning towards taking the Spurs moneyline and just hoping Klay has an off night with his shooting.

I call it a trap. There’s definitely a reason that line’s set like that...it’s baiting people to take the Spurs. If it were me, I'd either stay away from that game completely or bet on Dallas and just hope for the best. But honestly, I’m more excited for some of the other matchups tomorrow. Got my eyes on two:

Denver -2 against OKC
Kings +1.5 against Timberwolves

Why these 2?  because I believe on the first week of the season, home teams will have a good winning percentage.

They still have the homecourt advantage, so -6.5 is a good bet for me already at 1.75. Even without Luka, I think the Mavs can do it and win big against the young Spurs. If Klay is going to play, maybe this is the perfect time for him to show that he still has it.

Other games that fans wanted to see even without betting is Nuggets vs OKC. For me this could be very close, although again, maybe the home court will be a big advantage for Denver but I'm seeing SGA putting a show here and maybe there could be some upset.

It could have been an easy W for you, If not for Miami Heat. I didn’t watch the match though but I was surprised with the Magic winning that one, I was glued to Golden State Warriors vs Trailblazers match, was pretty much interested in seeing how to the Warrior would lineup and their alternative bench players, I’m not going to say I’m convinced yet but they could do something better this season. Meanwhile Mr. Draymond back to where left of last season, picked up is first technical foul 2 quarters into the new season 🤔

That’s nothing new for Draymond; he’s always on that list and might top it soon. But honestly, it’s not a big deal unless it costs them in the playoffs. The good thing for the Warriors is Buddy Hield isn’t just hype - he’s really stepping up. I saw some comment on YouTube on the game highlights I watched. One said, "The Splash Brothers are gone, but Splash Buddy is here."

[danherbias07]

Perfect late betting. 


Not a bad start for the NBA Regular Season.

We have 4 games later. Here are my picks.
Washington Wizards - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-11.5)
Dallas Mavericks - San Antonio Spurs - Dallas Mavericks (-10.5)
Denver Nuggets - Oklahoma City Thunder - Denver Nuggets ML Taking the risk, is not recommended.

Oh and don't forget that Stake.com has a promotion for that OKC Thunder versus Nuggets game. Well, if you are just interested.

https://stake.games/promotions/promotion/nba-double-winnings
It's a bit difficult for the Nuggets although I believe Jamal could catch fire anytime. 40 for SGA is also unsure so it's up to you. This is a battle of offense so we can expect a high-scoring game.

Good luck everyone and I hope we all win our bets.

That’s just a bonus, but if you're betting on this team, you gotta be hopeful. There's a cap, up to $100 only..but still, not bad since it’s just extra if it works out. The tricky part is if you wanna bet against them, but you’re tempted by that double win... gotta think, think, think.

@danherbias07 - I will tail you with the Nuggets here, too bad, Phoenix win but it wasn't enough to cover the -3.5 for me

As for the Nuggets vs Thunder, I think the homecourt advantage too of the Nuggets might bring enough energy for them to take this win. And I'm expecting Jamal and Russ to be on fire in this game. It might be a close one as we all know that last season, the Thunder was a surprised team, lead by SGA.

When everyone’s piling on one side, this is what we get

Man, I thought the Nuggets would have a solid edge at home, especially in the season opener. But, wow, they got blown out by OKC. That third quarter was the game-changer, with OKC pulling off a 10-point lead – once a team catches fire like that, especially in the third, they usually close it out strong, which is exactly what happened here.

Murray had a rough night, going 4-for-13, and I expected Westbrook to make a splash, but his debut didn’t click either, ending with 2-for-10. I’ll definitely keep this game in mind for my next bet – after a game like this, they’ll probably come out with major adjustments.

The OKC picked right up from where the left of last season and they totally floored the Denver Nuggets right on their home court, I don’t know If I should say the Nuggets were or the Thunder were just simply better, both facts can coexists, though. Thunder struggled a lot with their shots in the first half, especially early into the first quarter as both teams were shooting awfully, but OKC were able to step it up as the game progressed while Denver couldn’t get any better, and the match got completely put of hands in the 3rd quarter. Denver’s biggest problem still pretty much lies in the non-Jokic minutes, they just can’t seem to stay poised when he’s on the bench, even if they can’t get any better offensively when Jokic is catching his breath, they really need to stop blowing their leads or getting left too far behind during matches.

[danherbias07]

As I said, that Denver Nuggets ML was not a recommended bet. I was right all along, but I was stuck as a Jokic fan. Ergh. They didn't play well, Jokic got his normal triple-double but Murray was not there. Was it defense? I doubt that. It's a low-scoring game so I am guessing both offensive teams are just trying to heat up for now.

2/3 Not bad.
Just a 0.5 win on that Mavericks versus Spurs game. That made me bite my finger for a while there. Klay Thompson is lighting the fire for the Mavs with 22 points in just 26 minutes of playtime. 6/10 in the 3-point field and this probably is one of his best games after being traded. (including the preseason)
It's true, the Mavs just got scarier on the offensive end. I might try some over-total scores with them next time.

Yes, unfortunately, it was the other way around for the Nuggets, I thought that the home court advantage as well will be huge for them. But it seems that OKC has other things in mind, SGA again leading the team. And it seems that they are really comfortable with each other, as the last season was really big for them as they almost made it to the Western Conference finals.

On the other hand, Klay proved that he still has it, with 22 points grabbing 7 rebounds, and he had a good percentage as well shooting that 3 ball. And that makes the Mavs very dangerous team if Klay will be consistent to help the team and maybe averaging close to 20 points a night.

SGA is still super consistent, and their defense has really stepped up, especially with Caruso bringing his defensive skills into the team. But man, it’s just one game...the Nuggets are bound to adjust, and we can count on that. Up next, they’re hosting the LA Clippers, so Westbrook’s got a showdown with his old team. Should be a great matchup, and I think the Nuggets can bounce back, especially since the Clippers are currently undermanned.

On the other hand, Klay proved that he still has it, with 22 points grabbing 7 rebounds, and he had a good percentage as well shooting that 3 ball. And that makes the Mavs very dangerous team if Klay will be consistent to help the team and maybe averaging close to 20 points a night.

Yeah, totally different from his preseason performance. Hopefully, he finds some consistency because Dallas really needs him to bring that same intensity...or even better....every game.

It's a low-scoring game so I am guessing both offensive teams are just trying to heat up for now.

For some reason I've been getting up around 5 am in the last few weeks, so just in time to catch Dario Saric debut and damn, Nuggets looked bad. I thought that those preseason losses are just because Jokic didn't really care much, but this didn't look good at all. Murray not on his level (while playing for 38 minutres whihc was imho weird decision by malone), almost non existent bench, atrocious 3 pts shooting..

Hopefully its just 1 bad game and they show more vs Clippers on Sunday.
