NBA Betting: Vol. 2

There are some pretty interesting picks on the board today. I've got about 2 or 3 players spinning around in my head right now. I'll get back to you all with a full analysis later. #staytuned

ruggedgull32 said:...plus, if Duncan and Parker sit out for San Antonio, anyone betting at DraftKings probably has Ginobili lined up at 14.5 (just following the logic here)...🤷

After watching last night's game: Stephen Jackson turned to Manu while leaving the arena tonight and said, "See you when we get back."
🤷
We still don't know anything for sure about who's playing or sitting out tonight...

Don't bank on a bet like "they might just slip up." Momentum is a force of nature—and I don't mess around by waiting for some "maybe next time" blunder.
Indiana vs. Toronto... hmm... lately, that Indiana squad has been playing like they're part of the same reckless club as the Orlando Magic, the Phoenix Suns, and those other teams that just don't know when to quit.
Both of this year's five-point spreads for India are looking like massive underdogs. It's like betting on a local high school team against a powerhouse like Alabama.🤷
I’ll pass on getting too deep into this one. That 99.5 line for Indiana feels like a total setup to bait people into an over—it smells like they're gearing up for a 90-point night, making the under a lock. As for Toronto and whether their star player suits up, if that line were sitting at a steady 95.5, I’d bet my life on the under. But with those books setting it at 89.5, they’ve hit the nail right on the head regarding the risk. You could easily see a wild outlier game here; look at yesterday, when Kleiza was totally MIA and they ended up dropping over 70 points. DeRozan and Calderon are absolute flamethrowers when they get hot, so in my view, the Indiana under lives or dies entirely based on how Toronto shows up.
Don't let the stats fool you when watching OKC—Ersan isn't exactly the only one putting points on the board over there.
I’m with you on that—104.5 is just way too high for Mil. It's like trying to fit a gallon of milk into a shot glass!👍 After breezing through that string of easy opponents lately, they’re finally hitting a brick wall today. It's going to be a tough one!

Edith Piaf: It’s like a total collapse under the weight of everything! 🤣
It’s like playing a hidden hand at a high-stakes table in Vegas—totally unpredictable! 🤣
Check this out: Utah just hit the OVER at 103.5, while at the exact same time, SAS is sliding under 105.5. It’s like watching one side of a seesaw drop while the other shoots up!🤣
Why the sudden pivot? Is everyone just jumping on the "under" bandwagon because they think Timmy sitting out makes it a lock? Or is this just a preemptive strike triggered by our little debate?
Now, this other part really catches my eye. We’re looking at UTE bar 104 while SAS sits stuck at 106. I've never seen anything like it—one side dropping while the other climbs! It's like watching a seesaw that refuses to balance.

Bottom line: I’ll take that two-point win like a housewarming gift, and we can just forget about all those missed three-pointers. Honestly, I'm looking at that 1.9 payout as my little Easter present!

Date | Rank | Athlete | Injury | Status
04/09/12 F/C Tim Duncan Rest "?" Monday vs. Utah
04/09/12 | G/F | Manu Ginóbili | Out | "?" Monday matchup against the Jazz
04/09/12 | PG | Tony Parker | Out | Status check for Monday against the Jazz?

Better move fast before they tank all the 1.6 lines.🙂

Thanks for the heads-up, Edward Brown4. In the meantime, I've decided to pull the plug on that idea and actually wrote out my reasoning for why.

Dana Baker2 said:I mean, they probably won't even let those 1.6 odds stay live for long before they scrap them.🙂

Actually, I suspect they’ve already preemptively wiped out everything at 1.6—both the overs and the unders—simply because this guy is hitting his marks way too consistently.👍

Ilyasova is down by 14.5
landry is down by 13.5
D.Wright is down by 10.5
Pekovic is down by 12.5
Gordon is down by 11.5
Lawson is down by 17.5

II listic

Bynum is up by 18.5
P.gasol is up by 17.5
Griffin is down by 20.5

Are you kidding me with this stuff? Seriously?😲

Jefferson over 19.5 at 1.85—Utah is absolutely on fire right now! Three Spurs players are looking questionable tonight, though Duncan looks like a lock to suit up at least
Gasol over 17.5 at 1.85—honestly, it’s a done deal already
DeRozan over 17.5 at 1.85—already said it, it's a lock. Plus, Andrea Bargnani is down to doubtful for Monday against Indiana due to a calf issue
Orlando -6.5 against Detroit at 2.10—the chemistry just isn't there; Detroit has already knocked them down twice this season

04/09/12 G/F Quentin Richardson Back probable Monday vs. Detroit
04/09/12 C Dwight Howard Back expected to miss Monday vs. Detroit
04/08/12 F/C Ryan Anderson Ankle "?" Monday vs Detroit
04/07/12 G/F DeAndre Liggins Migraine "?" Monday vs Detroit
04/06/12 F Hedo Turkoglu Facial out for regular season

edit: enough hype about the Spurs. Let's pivot: Milwaukee Under 103.5. Their defensive matchups are going to be a nightmare

Kobe's gone...

Lin, I'm just sitting here waiting on your pair so I can finally link them up with Gasol...

Dana Baker2 said:Is this really one of ours, for God's sake?😲

Premier Bet... Canada.

Anthony Garcia12 said:RIP Kobe

I'm holding out hope 🙂

Gary Ruiz13 said:I really hope so... 🙂

Don't hold your breath... it's official news now. 😁
The rush on DraftKings to bet the over on Gasol's points started immediately... they already pumped his line up from 17 to 19 before I could even blink...

Gary Ruiz13 said:Premier Betting... Canada? Nah, let's talk about the real action over at DraftKings.

Solid offer. Can you stack them?
Our crew just can't get it together—won't even upload.🙂

I’m with Daniel Robinson5, Griffin, and James Parker on this one. I go to hit my parlay at 7:58 PM and out of nowhere, some random notification pops up saying Gasol already started... total buzzkill.🤷😕🤷😕

Anthony Garcia12 said:Don't bother holding out any hope; that's official. 😁
The bandwagon crowd hit SportsCenter immediately, rushing to bet on Gasol over 17.5, and now they’ve already pushed his line up to 19.

Heh, all that's left is for him to go out there and completely blow the whole thing. 😂

Dana Baker2 The user states:
Great deal on the table. Can you stack these offers together?
Our incompetent crew simply refuses to upload it.🙂

Anything is possible. 🙂

Alright folks, here is the updated
plan for tonight! Orlando (spread -8.5) vs. Detroit 2 @ 1.85
Memphis vs. L.A. Clippers 1 @ 1.55
Indiana vs. Toronto Raptors 1 @ 1.20

Here is my little parlay combo
to chase some wins: Griffin B. (DK) vs. Lee D. 2 @ 1.85
Minnesota (KI) vs. Phoenix Suns 2 @ 1.62
Utah vs. San Antonio Under 209.5 @ 1.70
Milwaukee vs. Oklahoma City Thunder 2 @ 1.70
Let's aim for 3/4 or even a clean 4/4!

Nicholas Chase34 Asks:
Fix
Orlando (8.5) vs. Detroit 2 @ 1,85
The Memphis Grizzlies versus the L.A. Clippers. Let's get right to it. 1 @ 1,55
The Indiana Pacers versus the Toronto Raptors matchup is essentially a clash of identities. You have one side trying to play fast and chaotic, while the other is struggling to find any semblance of rhythm. It’s frustrating to watch when you realize how much untapped potential is being wasted by sheer inconsistency. One team plays like they have nothing to lose, while the other looks like they’re just going through the motions. It’s high-stakes basketball, and right now, neither side is playing with the discipline required to truly dominate. 1 @ 1,20

A combination.
Griffin B.(dk) - Lee D. 2 @ 1,85
The Minnesota Timberwolves versus the Phoenix Suns. Let's get right to it. 2 @ 1,62
Utah vs. San Antonio. It’s sitting at under 209.5 with a 1.70 line.
Milwaukee vs. Oklahoma City Thunder. 2 @ 1,70
3,4/4

Absolutely top-tier.
