NBA 2025-2026 betting

The Rockets spread was tempting, but they're on a b2b plus the Bucks could put Lillard and Giannis in the lineup. Still, I think you'll cash that since i've heard some of their players only played fewer minutes in their last game.

The Rockets came so close to winning that game, but they just couldn’t make the right play at the end. Still, they managed to cover the handicap, as the Bucks only made a late push to secure the win. In the end, it was all about Dame time, though the only ones really celebrating are those who bet on the moneyline.

Was quite lucky to win this one.




With the upcoming match of the Cavaliers and the Celtics, the odds for the Cavs are better than of the Celtics. I have went for the Cavs to win this match. Will the Celtics going to give the first ever L of the Cavs?

A really narrow escape for the Bucks it was, Lillard had just taken a really terrible 3pt shot attempt the Bucks' previous possession before that the game winner, for a player that has struggled with his shot all game long, I felt that was really an unprovoked bad shot selection, but the needed adjustment was made for the final shot. I didn't know what the spread was but it couldn't have been more 3-3.5 I guess, it's win in the end for Milwaukee Bucks, but their extreme struggle is still pretty much evident.

Another bad day.
1/4. Crap!

Anyway, we have 6 NBA Cup games tomorrow and here are my picks.

Boston Celtics - Cleveland Cavaliers - Boston Celtics (-3.5) - Celtics might want to sure win this game if they want to tie with the Cavs in East Group C.
Dallas Mavericks - New Orleans Pelicans - Dallas Mavericks (-10.5)
San Antonio Spurs - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-10.

Be careful with the Grizzlies versus Nuggets game as it might just become a repeat of what happened yesterday. Nikola Jokic is questionable so the best choice would be before the tip-in.

Good luck everyone!

The Cleveland Cavaliers are making history as one of the few teams in the NBA to win the first 15 games of the season. Led by Donovan Mitchell, the Cavaliers are averaging a good number of points per game and are one of the most productive teams in the league. However, the Cavaliers have a limited rotation due to missing players, which could make it difficult for them to overcome the Boston Celtics defense.

Despite their defensive weaknesses, the Boston Celtics have the roster to challenge the Cavaliers with the offensive production of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Also, the return of Jrue Holiday could be a big boost for the Boston Celtics defense. The Boston Celtics can end Cleveland's unbeaten streak with a strong performance on their home court.

I'm looking at why the Boston Celtics is a huge favorite against the league leading Cavs, and it says that there are players that are in the injured list like Lavert which is a good help for them. And it seems that the betting like has move already, now the starting ML is -4.5 for Boston @1.64. So I might go and get this one and watch the game as for sure this is going to be very exciting.

Yeah, Grizzlies vs Nuggets could be a trap for us, just like the news that Curry is not going to play against the Clippers. But he did play but they lost the game in a very close fight.

I'm not betting on that Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers game, but I will probably watch it, or some of it anyway.  I haven't actually seen the Cavaliers play yet this year so maybe I need to witness for myself how they are pulling off win after win to start this season.  If they manage to beat the defending champs now, people in Cleveland are going to go nuts.  This has got to be one of their franchine's all time best starts.  Even better than anything in the LeBron era.

Detroit -4 loss
Toronto +4.5 win
Houston +4 - win
Warriors -4 - loss
sacramento/atlanta over 234.5 - loss

2 out of 5 very bad..  and I wasn't able to bet today as I made a little evaluation of my past picks..

Sorry @danherbias07, that could’ve been an easy 2 out of 3 if the Cavaliers hadn’t taken that last shot. They wouldn’t have made it to overtime, so there's no reason to take the shot.

[Russlenat]

I saw the highlights of the game, and there were about 8 seconds left, but they decided to play it out, that last shot really messed up the bet. If I’m not mistaken, the pregame spread was -7 for the Celtics because of the points movement.

Regardless, that 5-point win was already in the bag until that happened. Just the breaks of the game, I guess. These things really do happen, it’s the beauty and frustration of sports betting.

I think it’s time to move on and focus on bouncing back tomorrow. There are plenty of games to bet on, but we just need to pick the right ones. I’ll start with... Rockets -6.5 --- With the Pacers dealing with roster injuries, the home team has a great chance to bounce back strong, especially after letting a winnable game slip away last time.

Warriors -8.5 at home.
Clippers vs Magic under 206.5
OKC -12.5

Alright, that concludes it. Cleveland Cavaliers has a lose already and that's been done by the Celtics. I thought that their stink will continue and the winning streak will be for so long but it didn't do. Still, they're not bad at all and remains to be the number 1 in the standings on the East. Next match will be up against the Pelicans, I think that they'll get an easy win from them. I'm still thinking whether to bet on it or not. The odds aren't considering @1.11 for the Cavs and @7.20 for the Pelicans.

Clippers vs Magic under 206.5
OKC -12.5

I was never a person who tends to back any Under bet when it's 210 or lower than that as far as the NBA is concerned, but lately Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers have made 200 look like a very huge number to reach in a NBA match, it's pretty awful, not as though I watch their matches that much due to much of an eyesore it always is, especially when they're not playing any particularly interesting team to watch, I wonder how many shots they attempt per minute in their games.

OKC vs Blazers, I really can't call a shot on the line spread, I'd definitely take OKC to win if I could have anything on that match up but, be it as it may, Blazers themselves have been grinding out wins themselves and the Thunder also being somewhat shorthanded as well is why I'm not strongly confident on OKC covering the -12.5 spread.

[danherbias07]

Ergh! A 1 point difference to win that Celtics bet. I hate losing like that.

Sorry @danherbias07, that could’ve been an easy 2 out of 3 if the Cavaliers hadn’t taken that last shot. They wouldn’t have made it to overtime, so there's no reason to take the shot.

Yeah, so true. It hurts. Moving on!

8 games. No NBA Cup games today. Here are my picks.

Cleveland Cavaliers - New Orleans Pelicans - Cleveland Cavaliers (-12.5) - I hope they are not exhausted from that Celtics game.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Portland Trail Blazers - Oklahoma City Thunder (-10.5)
Houston Rockets - Indiana Pacers - Houston Rockets (-4.5) - I wish this is not the time Pacers will suddenly win because I have been betting for them and most are losses.
Phoenix Suns - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-2.5)

Good luck everyone!

Alright, we bounced back strong with 3 out of 4 play!

It's just a shame I only saw your post now; could've avoided the OKC spread.

..why I'm not strongly confident on OKC covering the -12.5 spread.

Also congrats @danherbias07, that was 3 out of 4 too, and like me, you also fall on the OKC with 0.5 again..

You win some, you lose some, but being on the profit side for the night is enough take, I’d say. Perhaps, If I did known that Hartenstein would be playing that much I might have felt the Blazers stood no chance.

[danherbias07]

Yeah! Again! That uncomfortable feeling or whatever emotion this is when losing with just 0.5. It sucks! I hate it.



I think it's just the Los Angeles Clippers which was the unexpected team that won today. It was an upset because I added the Clippers in my parlay (lost) and the odds were x2.39 for the money line.
Lucky are those who make a brave bet and pick them because they are big winners today. My only thoughts on the Clippers on why I added them is because they are not a bad team even with injuries but the Magic has lost their offensive man so they are having a hard time winning every game.

Congratulations to the winners.

They’re a solid team this season, even though they’re often underestimated. Before that game, they beat the Warriors on their home court, proving how strong they are. With James Harden leading like his old Houston Rockets days and Norman Powell stepping up as a confident shooter, they’re no pushovers. Next time, we should think twice about betting against them, they can hold their own against any team, even when they’re undermanned.

[passwordnow]

Congratulations to the winners.

Congrats man, those were some nice wins. I'm glad that it wasn't a parlay. 


I can't resist one match when looking at the books, the Spurs and Jazz. I've taken with the Spurs with 1.69 and that's already good for me if they're up against with another team that's struggling to win.

[OgNasty]

Nothing fancy with this one.  I think the Timberwolves are one of the best teams in the league and the Raptors aren't too great, so that should be an easy win.  The Lakers are also playing against an inexperienced team which given their roster should make it an easy night for them.  These are the kinds of games that should be easy record padding games.

I'm with ya on both of these games except I gave some points and added some football in.

Min -3.5                                      NBA
LA -2.5                                        NBA
San Antonio ML                            NBA
Steelers -3                                   NFL
Georgia tech/NC State u53.5         CFB

10x odds not bad as i feel most of these are gimme games. College football game scares me the most.
