NBA Betting: Vol. 2

Just sitting here waiting for Rajon Rondo to pull off a massive dunk...it’s gonna be such a beautiful sight...

So, what's the move now? 🤔

Keith Moore21 said:basically, Oklahoma is weaker than last year because they traded away James Harden... the bench took a hit, and I'm worried Russell Westbrook might just go rogue now, which is never good—if his shot isn't falling, he's basically useless. On the flip side, the Portland Trail Blazers are young and talented; they could beat anyone on a given night. But Oklahoma is tough to beat at home, and Portland struggles on the road. So, I'm leaning toward an Oklahoma win tonight... if you're playing with bigger stakes, you could hedge your bets on Portland for a smaller payout 🤷

Honestly, they didn't lose that much. They picked up Gerald Martin, a solid veteran, and while they're definitely weaker defensively, their offense is still fine. Plus, they got Adam Lamb, the 12th pick, who was considered a huge steal from Houston—some people think he's even better than a top-12 talent, though strangely enough, he didn't see any action against the San Antonio Spurs🤷 Whether that's just a one-off thing or the coach doesn't plan on using him (which would be a huge mistake), I have no clue..

I'm also betting on Oklahoma tonight. 90% chance.

I'd lean toward the under rather than the over. Monta Ellis isn't exactly a defensive powerhouse in the playoffs, but let's be real—Rajon Rondo isn't looking to shoot much anyway. Plus, facing that Milwaukee Bucks defense tonight, they're definitely going to lock down both Chris Lee and Paul Pierce, so Rondo probably won't even get many looks at the rim. Still, if you like the number, I'd say go for it!

Monta Ellis isn't exactly a defensive powerhouse when the playoffs roll around, but let's be real—Rajon Rondo isn't exactly looking to hunt for his own shot anyway. Plus, against that Milwaukee Bucks defense tonight, they're definitely going to be suffocating both Chris Lee and Paul Pierce, so Rondo probably won't even get many looks at the rim. That said, if the number looks juicy enough, I say go for it!

The absolute worst part about this whole thing is that a buddy of mine who lives and breathes the NBA actually suggested this pair to me.

He told me there was an 80% chance it hits... man, you gotta be smarter than that... 🤷
