NBA 2025-2026 betting

[passwordnow]

The game is just starting. No changes in the starting lineups for either teams was announced.
De'Aaron Fox was in the run up and his ankle looked fine.
The odds on them didn't reflect him being questionable before the game either. Solid 1.25x odds for San Antonio while Minnesota were the ones that were jumping between 4.10-4.30x odds the entire day.

Took the +9.5 on the Timberwolves but now that Fox and Harper are playing I can see why they raised it to +10.5 for the point spread before the game started.

My bet has won and sadly even with that +9.5 won't be enough to cover the lead of San Antonio Spurs.



I am having a hard time thinking on the Cavs/Pistons game.

Detroit Pistons - Cleveland Cavaliers - Detroit Pistons (-5.5) @2.12

I have bet as well but with only -2.5 @1.75 which is a good one for me. So good luck everyone, the game is about to start in a few.

Wow! Congratulations on taking that one for last night. Didn't think it was going to be a complete blowout like that from the Spurs who ended up with 29 points when it was done. Minnesota's three point game went dead by the third quarter so there was no coming back by the fourth when they really needed to keep up with the Spurs.

For tonight's match against Detroit and Cleveland, many are going with the home team since Mitchell just dominated them.
So I can't see them letting that happen again especially infront of their fans so expect early pressure from Detroit.
So that is why I took the first half and full time game result from Detroit on my bet.

Looks like a good bet to me, to be honest, the Cavaliers have not won a single game on the road in this playoffs, and I don't think that's a coincidence, they have not just been as good on the road as they are at home.

I have a couple of same game parlay (betbuilder) on the game, so I'm not taking the spread or ML, but If I were to, my money for sure would have been on the Detroit Pistons here.

Good luck mate!

This could have been an easy win if the Pistons did not choke.

The problem is, they already had a huge lead but still allowed the Cavaliers to come back. And since they relied mostly on their starters, they were already gassed out in the 4th quarter. That is where the Cavaliers took advantage and beat them. But anyway, there is still a chance. We still have Game 6, and the Pistons have already won road games before, just like their comeback last round.
So let’s see if they can push this to Game 7. They just need to manage their energy better and avoid collapsing again late in the game.

It was looking like an easy bet since they won the first half and had a nice lead going into the second.
But the last 3 minutes of the game they struggled and Cavs came back to tie it forcing it to go into overtime.
That is where the Pistons got outscored and couldn't score a bucket for the first two minutes.
The referee's weren't giving Detroit the calls especially right at the end of regulation where there was a trip with one second left that should of sent Detroit to the free throw line to try and put them away.

I think on this side, we can call it fair officiating. There were calls and non-calls that did not favor the Cavaliers as well, so it looked like the refs were just letting both teams play in a more physical way. The calls were sometimes inconsistent, but it was not one-sided. The Cavaliers were just really there, not giving up, and James Harden was huge in that win.

Mobley also hit some important 3-point shots, and Strus brought his defense and hustle again. That guy is really an underrated defender and very smart on the court. He may not always get the attention, but he makes winning plays.

I think the whistle was actually fair, and it was more of the Detroit Pistons getting really sloppy down the stretch, they literally let the game slipped through their fingers and maybe the series to go along with it, because I'm not sure they should be expecting another Orlando Magic meltdown from the Cavaliers, that are yet to lose at home.

The series is still not over though, while I'd expect the Cavaliers to win it all in game 6 taking care of home court, it's not as if the Pistons didn't have a chance to have also won either of Game 3 or Game 4.

Thanks, I just went for the gamble at that time and that didn't disappointed me. Those rumors tend to be not true and that's a good factor that have increased the odds.

The half time has been won by Pistons for the first half. Unfortunately, my bet lost on this one that -2.5 didn't do it with the Pistons.
There will be a break before the games are back, so let's see if the odds would change before it starts when the games are back.

[danherbias07]

Ergh. Lost my bet on the Detroit Pistons. What a waste. They had a 9-point lead with only 2 minutes in the 4th quarter. All they need is to protect that, but it seems like they got exhausted, and James Harden seems to be liked by the referee, getting all the fouls that he wanted.

Thankfully, I added one more bet, but it did not cover the loss.

If it didn't go to overtime, I will lose that bet.

We have no games later. 1 day rest. I think I am just going for the WNBA today.

Reports saying that LeBron James is looking for a 1 year $15 million dollar deal to do a farewell tour next year. That makes it increasingly likely that he could end up on the Golden State Warriors in my opinion. What do you think gamblers?

The Golden State Warriors could get him in if that's the price he's asking. I hope that they'll make it happen since fans would like to see Lebron and Steph play altogether and not just only during the Olympics. The very last season would be amazing if Lebron does that and the GSW management signs him up for that. Fans would recognize it as historical and it will be written into the books. Welp, that's just an exciting thought to think of.

I don't think he leaves the Lakers if they come up with a viable plan to actually be competitive in the west. The Lakers don't suck per se, but they are not solid on defense and injuries added up to the Lakers being trash in the Playoffs. They need to pick up a couple defensive guys and dump Ayton. I doubt they can win a title no matter what they do, but if they can be competitive Lebron will stay.

When AD was gone and traded, they have weakened their defense and I thought that Ayton would cover the post he's left but you're right, they need to have more defensive guys. But as for Lebron, he's the one who dictates wherever he wants to play and he's nearing to his retirement. Although competitively, they can continue to rebuild the roster with them and he's got a lot of reason to stay for the Lakers if they'll also take Bryce for this upcoming draft.

I'm now positive with the San Antonio Spurs. With their win in the last match, I'm confident they can win this series. It's already too much if the series becomes 3-3.
1.86 odds for Spurs -5.5 is a steal.

[danherbias07]

We have 2 games later.
Here are my picks.

Cleveland Cavaliers - Detroit Pistons - Detroit Pistons (-3.5) @2.95 - Yeah, I believe in Pistons. Someone needs to step up. The Cavs' defensive strategy is to always double Cade Cunningham. Someone must get that ball and score, or Cade will try to force it by making a fast play before the double comes.

Minnesota Timberwolves - San Antonio Spurs- San Antonio Spurs (-5.5) @1.90

Both bets on the road. Good luck to me and to all of you.

[GreatArkansas]

I'm really hooked on the Cleveland Cavaliers winning this series, especially after their last win.
Since Duncan Robinson, Caris LeVert, and Kevin Huerter are questionable, this will be an advantage for the Cavaliers since they are healthy right now. I will just hope this will be not a close match.

[karabiber]

It’s clear that the Detroit Pistons’ approach so far hasn’t been working. The prime example of this is their big man Jalen Duren, who was selected to the All-Star Game for the first time this season.

Duren, who could even be considered the biggest disappointment of the playoffs, didn’t see any playing time in the final quarter of Game 5 of the series. Instead, JB Bickerstaff put Paul Reed into the game a player he hadn’t given any minutes to and Reed, who only played in the final quarter, contributed more than the All-Star starter in the team’s starting five. The Detroit Pistons now need unexpected heroes. My hero is Paul Reed, and I expect him to get more playing time than Jalen Duren in this game and put up some surprising stats.

Alright, the games are back and I'll also be choosing with a -3.5 for the San Antonio Spurs. I will be a bit of trying to play safe with that -3.5 than of -5.5 although you're right that's a steal. Let's see how the game will end and hoping that the Spurs will win with their game later, good luck to all of us.

Really hope the Cavaliers beat them badly since the Pistons made me lose on a pretty big bet I had on them in their last game. They were favorites in that game and the odds have flipped in this one since Cleveland are at home.
Don't think it will be that close atleast in the second half since they hammered them in game 5 in that overtime match not allowing them to score in the first 2 minutes from what I remember.

I am going the opposite for this one, by not going for the favorites.
I'd like to think the Timberwolves will not let themselves go away so easily in this series and so I took the combination bet for a Minnesota win and over 217.5pts.
We'll see which one of us were right after the match.

[danherbias07]

A very good day for me.
2 of 2.



That 2.95 for the Detroit Pistons was damn sweet. I never doubted them. I know they can win their games. Game 7 will tell it all. The Pistons will end it there at their own home court. I am wrong. Cade doesn't need to go nuts on the offensive end. He just needs to be a good facilitator. Those 8 assists that he made really made a big difference. It scrambled the defense of the Cavs. Oh, and Paul Reed, great help.

No games later. See you tomorrow.
