NBA 2025-2026 betting

I'd play and bet safe with the Denver Nuggets.

And that playing safe was right. Nuggets won with 11 points lead.


I have missed betting on San Antonio Spurs tonight against LAC. While I can still cast a bet, I've chosen to do it with the others. The Lakers against the Cavs. And no brainer, I've bet for the Cavs.

The Lakers against the Cavs. And no brainer, I've bet for the Cavs.

The Cavs have started brilliantly as they've done almost all season long, and the odds is looking like a New Year's giveaway...


--------------

Speaking of giveaways, I took the Milwaukee Bucks ML @ 1.80 while knowing that they'd be having Giannis, Lillard and Khris Middleton all available for that one, although the win had to be earned the toughest way with the Bucks trailing by as many as 19 points halfway into the 3rd quarter.

Enjoyed the holidays. I hope you all did too. Happy New Year everyone!

Here are my picks for today's games.

Washington Wizards - Chicago Bulls - Chicago Bulls (-3.5)
Miami Heat - New Orleans Pelicans - Miami Heat (-6.5) - I didn't take the -10.5, I don't want to underestimate the power of the Pelicans even though they play without Zion and Ingram. McCollum can sometimes be scary just like what he did against the Clippers and Grizzlies although they lost.
New York Knicks - Utah Jazz - New York Knicks (-10.5) - 8th winning streak, they will be going for 9.
Houston Rockets - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (5.5)
Denver Nuggets - Atlanta Hawks - Denver Nuggets (-3.5)

Good luck everyone!

Looks like I lost my last parlay of the year.  Bummer.  I had a hell of a streak earlier this month.  Would have been amazing to keep it going.  Alas, I think we'll be seeing a lot less gambling from me in 2025 (just a prediction) but I hope everyone has the best of luck!  It's been amazing fun posting my bets here and I've had a blast winning and losing.  My largest win of the year was hands down betting so many parlays including a Trump Presidential victory.  My only 4 figure bet of the year and it turned out to be a big winner.  Thanks to everyone for a great year!

Got a W on this one.

The Lakers against the Cavs. And no brainer, I've bet for the Cavs.

The Cavs have started brilliantly as they've done almost all season long, and the odds is looking like a New Year's giveaway...

Yeah, fortunately, I've won this bet.


And with some games now, I've bet for two games. The Nuggets still because they've won me some money and as well as the Mavs, although I'm doubtful with the Mavs but let's see if the odds are a discount for me.

[danherbias07]

3 of 5. Not bad. Just got my money back.



6 games later, here are my picks.

Miami Heat - Indiana Pacers - Miami Heat (-1.5)
Minnesota Timberwolves - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-1.5)
Milwaukee Bucks - Brooklyn Nets - Milwaukee Bucks (-11.5) - This should be an easy win for the Bucks at home, they are playing great basketball although Giannis is listed as probable to play.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Los Angeles Clippers - Oklahoma City Thunder (-7.5) - I don't want to underestimate the Clippers too much that's why I didn't take the full handicap at -10.5.
Golden State Warriors - Philadelphia 76ers - Golden State Warriors (-1.5)

Good luck everyone.

[Harkorede]

Minnesota Timberwolves - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-1.5)

Good luck everyone.

This is definitely the match of the day for me, I like the match up and Anthony Edwards always make these fixtures worth the spectacle...

No Jaylen Brown for the Boston Celtics today, and Porzingis also remains out but still, the spread has increased to -3 with Celtics as the favorites, I'm only going for the Boston Celtics ML @ 1.65.

1-1 yesterday, Dallas lost me money but that's fine, still thanks to the Nuggets I have loved them already together with the Spurs.




Today's bet is only with GSW against the 76ers.

[danherbias07]

Minnesota Timberwolves - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-1.5)

Good luck everyone.

Congratulations. We won.
Truly, that was a good match. Minnesota started hot and then the Celtics came back and then a close fight in the 2nd half. It's nice to see the Celtics still able to win despite not having 2 of their stars and up against a strong Timberwolves.

Later we have 9 games listed. Here are my picks.

Houston Rockets - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-1.5) - Yeah, I am going for the Celtics one more time.
Oklahoma City Thunder - New York Knicks - Oklahoma City Thunder (-2.5) - Will the Thunder be the ones to end the winning streak of the Knicks? I am rooting for that. This is going to be an intense fight for the Knicks and they might lose it.
Dallas Mavericks - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-5.5)
Denver Nuggets - San Antonio Spurs - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) - The Nuggets creating their own winning streak, I wish it will continue.

Good luck everyone.

Good luck everyone.

I do like the OKC Thunder and Boston Celtics to night as well, both teams are quite consistent, although both team are facing really tough teams in Houston Rockets and New York Knicks, I still somewhat believe that the matchup are justified with the odds the bookies have given them.
Elsewhere I'm riding with the Raptors vs Magic to score Under 217, Orlando Magic have been a really scoring team both offensively and defensively, I expect them to be the one to decide how the match will playout.


I have Celtics ML + OKC ML + Toronto Raptors / Orlando Magic total Under 217 points @ 5.15 Odds

Today's bet is only with GSW against the 76ers.

I've won this bet fortunately.




My bet for tonight is quite hard, these two teams have always brought me money. The Spurs and Nuggets. But I have to bet for Nuggets this time, I love them both but it seems an exciting bet for me.

[danherbias07]

I did win 3 of 4 of my singles but it could've been better if I also won the parlay of the four bets.



Why Denver? Why? And worse, they lost. It's rare for me to make a parlay again and it could've been a profitable one.

Anyway, we have 9 games later. Ooh, it's calling for another parlay.
Here are my picks for today's games.
Brooklyn Nets - Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers (-5.5) - Philly is mad losing against the Warriors, they will probably force a win in this match.
Detroit Pistons - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-5.5)
Miami Heat - Utah Jazz - Miami Heat (-6.5)
Chicago Bulls - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-3.5) - Knicks just lost their long winning streak, and they are angry too.
San Antonio Spurs - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-1.5) - Revenge.
Golden State Warriors - Memphis Grizzlies - Golden State Warriors (-2.5)

Good luck everyone.

San Antonio Spurs - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-1.5) - Revenge.

Also backing the Nuggets to win against the Spurs tonight. I think the Nuggets will not lose two in a row against a young Spurs team.

Sharing my bets for today:

Nuggets -2.5 @1.80 vs Spurs
Warriors -3.5 @1.97 vs Grizzlies

[ralle14]

These odds on the Warriors might be a trap, but i'm still going for it. Even without Curry in the lineup, this should be a win for them if they lock it in since the Grizzlies are on a b2b and without Morant.

Despite the Grizzlies having a 5-0 record on b2bs, they could be due for a loss now that a few factors are starting to go against them.

You are a better person than me.  When each team has their top star out i dont touch these types of games.  You never know whats going to happen so its more of a 50/50 roll than anything.  Its 58-54 at half so its playing put exactly how vegas laid the odds but jaren jackson is 2/9, no morant.  I think im laying a second half ml bet on the grizzlies.  Warriors without steph has no plan, memphis is used to playing without ja at this point.

[ralle14]

I wouldn't say better, just a bit lucky on picking the right side for now.    There's still another half left to play so I hope they keep it going even though the momentum slightly shifted for the Grizzlies at the end of the second quarter.

You're right, usually, the better move is to skip these games because there are times when a game becomes too random and these certain factors go out of the window once the team you pick goes cold with their shooting.

That game the final leg of my parlay, and I could have won if Memphis had beaten the Warriors. But congrats, man! That was a solid call. You trusted the team even without Curry in the lineup, while you could've easily gone with safer bets on other games. Props to you - you got B.

[danherbias07]

Damn upset day! Ergh! 3/6.
Utah won a blowout game against Miami. Detroit killed Minnesota. The Bulls making the Knicks lose 1 more for a 2nd losing streak. Wow!

We have 6 games later. Here are my picks.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Boston Celtics - Oklahoma City Thunder (-1.5) - This is a hard choice but I decided to lean on the OKC to continue their streak. If they win, it will be their 15th.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Charlotte Hornets - Cleveland Cavaliers (-13.5)
Houston Rockets - Los Angeles Lakers - Houston Rockets (-2.5)
Golden State Warriors - Sacramento Kings - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) - GSW has become an entertaining team to watch again, I hope they continue their winning streak.

Good luck everyone.

Even with the Warriors holding on with their lead, the Grizzlies were always within touching distance up until the fourth quarter, and thankfully they held on to their lead to close things out with a win.

It was only a gut feeling that's why i've gone with them, and i'm going for it again today now that Curry is back and the Kings don't have Fox.



Edit: The Warriors are already down 20+ in the first half, this one's probably a loss unless they can come alive here in the third quarter.

Every time I bet on Nuggets, they never disappoint me.




My bet for tonight, I'd go with Dallas as usual, the match winner.
