NBA Betting: Vol. 2

Denver vs Sacramento @3:30 AM 06.03. 03:00 FanDuel

I’d call this pure VALUE. Denver is finally finding their rhythm after crushing a tough Spurs squad last night, while Sacramento is looking rough—they’ve dropped 10 of their last 12. They struggle on the road, went 4-17 away, and they really tank when playing back-to-back sets. They're 2-for-2 on B2Bs this season.
Denver Nuggets Sacramento Kings 110 : 83
Sacramento Kings Denver Nuggets 93 : 122

Looks like Gallinari and Nene might actually be back in the rotation for Denver tonight. Meanwhile, Sacramento is feeling the loss of their PF, Hickson.

Probably not worth betting a kidney since the odds are high, but a little action on the core feels right.

I’d probably take Rubio under 10.5—unless your bookie is running different lines? 🙂

Man, you are just one big-time agitator, aren't you?🤣,don't go leading people down the wrong path here😉

I’d be looking to take the Under 10.5 on Rubio. Is that where your margin is sitting, or are you seeing something different on your end? 🙂

That’s correct. May 10th. 🙂

Denver Nuggets 1,30 1
Rose D. (-24,5+) Chicago vs Indy 1,85 over
Milwaukee Bucks vs Philadelphia 76ers 1,65 2
Iguodala A. (-12,5+) Milwaukee vs Philly 1,85 over
Chicago Bulls vs Indiana Pacers 1,30 1
Wall J. (-18,5+) Washington vs Golden State 1,70 over
Rubio R. (-10,5+) Minnesota vs LAC 1,85 under

So, these are the matchups I need to pick from—just looking for the safest pair to put on my parlay, I guess.😁
Let's see how this goes... ☕

If you don't have anything actual to say about the NBA, just keep it to yourself. Don't derail the thread with off-topic chatter and stop bothering the people actually staying on track.
For the NBA crew 👍

So, here’s where my head is at—I actually find myself agreeing with a lot of people regarding the Nuggets. I caught them playing against the Spurs yesterday, and man, they look formidable. Their transition game is really clicking; the ball moves fast, and they’re constantly looking for the open man...
I honestly don't see how that young Sacramento squad can hold their own against Denver. On the other hand, Orlando and Portland seem to be in a completely different league compared to whoever they're facing tonight—it's just a mismatch. As for Chicago, I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Rose, so I’m pulling for them, but even if you look at it objectively, they're better than that Indiana team. Rose is—as Americans would say—on fire right now, and I wouldn't be surprised if he pushes toward 30 points... Also, keep an eye on Oklahoma; their offense looks intense. That duo of Durant & Westbrook is basically an unstoppable machine...

Griffin B.(-22,5+)-Min-LAC (06.03. 02:00)

I decided to stick with my initial instincts on Rose, Wall, the under on Rubio—and a Bulls victory—but I’ve opted out of the Warriors; they just seem off without Curry (even if I still believe they are the more talented roster overall) and I passed on Oklahoma because the payout simply wasn't worth the risk. In their place, I’ve pivoted to Denver, following the lead of Brian Barrett5 and Griffin, as I don't see this particular matchup really opening up against Love.

Best of luck to everyone tonight.

My picks for tonight's slate are as follows:
1. A straight win for Chicago paired with Denver covering a modest spread (-4.5). Total odds at BetMGM are 1.91.
2. Single bets: Derrick Rose over 23.5 points (Chicago vs. Indiana) over 1.7, plus Dwight Howard over 21.5 points (Toronto vs. Orlando) over 1.85, on FanDuel.
What are your thoughts on this selection?

I think Denver is a solid play here, even if the moneyline isn't particularly juicy. I caught the Kings vs. Suns game last night, and while the Kings looked decent early on, they completely fell apart in the second half. Denver shouldn't run into much trouble against them. I haven't kept close tabs on Howard lately, and he does have a habit of struggling on the road, but the margin looks reasonable—even if DraftKings is trying to lure everyone in with those 1.70 odds on the over. In my opinion, these are the two most promising NBA plays for tonight, but let's not get carried away with the stakes.

Howard over 21.5 (1.70)
Denver Nuggets - Sacramento Kings Moneyline (1.30)

total: 2.21

Think we'll see some snow tonight?

If I had any certainty, I’d bet my entire house on him.🤣

I’m being dead serious—it wouldn't be hard.🤷

A Jefferson? Cleveland’s playing at home tomorrow... might be a chance to head over there?

Washington (h+1.5) - GolState 1.75 1
Toronto (h+5.5) - Orlando 1.85 2

I sat there waiting on Washington since the day before yesterday. Nothing.
As for Orlando? They’re riding high on Howard's momentum...

The report says Nick Young is returning to the lineup today... honestly, the guy can take such questionable shots it's enough to give you a migraine... I've got my money on Russell Westbrook to go over 18 points myself.
Hopefully, everything works out for the best.

How much off-topic chatter can we handle before the ocean finally hits the shore? 🤣

If anyone needs a way to stream the Orlando game, just let me know.

If anyone needs the broadcast for Orlando, just ask.

Here you go.

Howard is going to eat them alive; I have a strong feeling they’re turning down the buyout option 🙂
