Maybe consider one of these options:

19.5/Jeremy Lin (New York vs Dallas) - Under
New York vs Dallas - 2
90.5/Orlando (Miami vs Orlando) - Under
15.5/Chris Bosh (Miami vs Orlando) - Over
+5.5/Detroit vs Boston - 2
14.5/Rajon Rondo (Detroit vs Boston) - Under

Any advice or recommendations? Any other matchups worth looking at?

20,5 Jeremy Lin (NYK) (Base) 1.85 1
-2,5 Cleveland Cavaliers - Sacramento Kings (Handicap) 1.85 2
27,5 Kevin Durant (OKC) (Base) 1.85 2
+2,5 Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Lakers (Handicap) 1.85 2
21,5 Amare Stoudemire (NYK) (Base) 1.85 2

Alright, check it out! This is actually my very first time trying my hand at betting specifically on the NBA, and honestly, I’m just looking to win enough to cover my coffee habit for the week! Haha. What do you guys think of these picks? Any better suggestions or plays I should look at instead?

There’s honestly no point in betting the under on Jeremy Lin for as long as Carmelo Anthony is out.
He’s getting heavy minutes and taking a massive amount of shots—including plenty of threes—every single game.
I already told myself I was done betting the under on Jeremy Lin, yet here I am... dealing with the same nonsense again.

10 points in the first quarter. Playing about 22 minutes in the first half.🙂

I just don't get how opposing teams can't seem to film him or find a way to shut him down and keep his scoring low...

What are your thoughts on taking the Dallas Mavericks while the odds are sitting at 2.20 for a double? Is anyone actually watching the game right now?

The Dallas Mavericks are going to pull this off, especially if Shumpert keeps guarding Dirk Nowitzki properly.

Detroit Pistons (h+5,5) - Boston Celtics 1 1,85

Indiana Pacers (h-10,5) - Charlotte Hornets 2 1,85

@ 3,42

Short and sweet.

Here’s what I’m looking at today:
Kobe Bryant over 28.5(man is always locked in when he faces the Phoenix Suns)
Kevin Garnett over 14.5(the defense against the Pick and Roll and those spot-up shooters hasn't been great lately, especially against a Detroit Pistons squad that lacks real rim protection)
Denver vs Oklahoma under 208.5 (that total feels way too high for me)
Minnesota vs Philadelphia 2 @ 2.0 (it feels like time for a bounce back here, and I think Philly wins this one through sheer defensive grit)

I don't always want to stick strictly to the same old system, because honestly, these matchups feel like perfect opportunities to shake things up and try some different combinations 🤷
Miami vs Orlando Magic 2/1 @ 4.75
Detroit vs Boston Celtics 1/2 @ 6.25
New Jersey vs Milwaukee 2/1 @ 6.25
Minnesota vs Philadelphia 1/2 @ 5.50
Houston vs Utah Jazz 2/1 @ 6.00
Phoenix vs Los Angeles Lakers 1/2 @ 5.75
Cleveland vs Sacramento 2/1 @ 5.75
3/7, 6/7, 7/7 image

Let's get after it 🙂

Jeremy Lin and Dirk Nowitzki already hit, and I'm pretty sure Amare is gonna pull through too, though honestly, who am I kidding? It’s a long shot thinking he's actually gonna sink 13 buckets in the final quarter🤷,but hey, maybe the rest of my parlay will actually behave for once and go my way☕

Man, what were you guys smoking? 😂😁 🙂

Look, I’m nowhere near being a pro since I’ve only got three parlays running😍,but man, I am loving the ride so far and I'm just praying things don't go south because there are still plenty of legs left to hit☕,the Knicks are absolutely tearing it up with those threes, Novak hitting 4 out of 5 in five minutes and then Lin coming in and doing the same thing

First things first, go read the subforum rules and stick to them. Otherwise, you won't be hanging out with this crowd for long.

what should i bet on??? help me out!!!!

Honestly? Just don't play anything or just grab a smaller payout for a quick 2-3 bucks🤷, because let's be real—nothing is a sure thing anymore and everything feels rigged anyway, so wouldn't it be better to just spend that cash on something actually useful, like grabbing some new clothes or taking someone out for a nice dinner somewhere?🤷

Man, just put it all on one slip 🤣

Just make sure you spread it out smart. You could do, like, four different tickets with a unit on each and call it a day. 😁

Out of all the NBA betting options today, Boston -5.5 looks like the best play.
