NBA Betting: Vol. 2

Sacramento(203.5)-Oklahoma City

My bad, I totally mixed that up with the line from the Denver game, but honestly, it doesn't even matter—I'm still calling for us to smash through the over. 🤷

Man, I went with the under on Phoenix three separate times, thinking it was a lock, and I absolutely whiffed on all three. Now I’m looking back realizing I totally misread the whole situation.

Alright NBA experts, can we go over on Steve Nash and Kevin Garnett?

Dana Grant8 said:Alright, NBA experts, weigh in—do we think Steve Nash and Kevin Garnett go over?

I mean, Nash should hit the over, but I probably wouldn't touch KG if I were you.

I’m just sitting here wondering... is it actually worth putting anything on a Durant vs Bryant matchup?

Steve Nash is looking sharp right now—he could easily go over his projected numbers—but I think it’s going to be a much tougher ask for Kevin Garnett in that matchup against Andrew Bynum..

People, wake up here. Can someone actually give me a real take on whether this is a smart move?
Russell Westbrook (-23.5+) vs Sacramento vs Oklahoma City over, and instead, taking Kevin Durant over 28.5 in his matchup against Kobe Bryant?
Since Kobe is playing against Boston today, I'm thinking that might be a pretty tough hill to climb.

Is Kevin Garnett playing center lately? If that's the case, then Andrew Bynum really needs to cover him properly—at the very least, he should be shutting down access to the paint. But if Kevin starts pulling up for jump shots, we're absolutely screwed.

Russell Westbrook (-23.5+) vs Sacramento vs Oklahoma City over, plus taking Kevin Durant over 28.5 instead of Kobe Bryant 1?
Since Kobe is playing against Boston today, I’m thinking that might be a pretty tough ask.

West could probably breeze past 23.5, honestly. And if you even care what I think, I ended up just betting the over on 203.5 for the Sacramento vs Oklahoma City game.😉
As for the Kobe vs Kevin Durant thing, I haven't got a clue. I never touch bets involving him or LeBron James and those guys—you just never know with them. Any one of them could drop 50 on any given night, I guess...🤷

Boston, Denver, or Oklahoma City?
Boston is finally firing on all cylinders—they’ve managed to string five wins together, which is a massive relief.
The Lakers have dropped two straight now, and honestly, their road game looks pretty shaky. As for Denver, after staring down four losses in a row, they really need to pull it together; hopefully, they find their rhythm. Oklahoma City just looks like the sharper, more cohesive squad right now.
I'm crossing my fingers that this holds up.

I have a feeling the Lakers pull it off tonight, that Pau Gasol ends up going toe-to-toe with Kevin Garnett, and OKC covers the spread. Just a gut feeling, should be an easy one.

Looking at the matchup between Boston and the Los Angeles Lakers, I’ve got my eye on the spread. Boston is coming in as a 3.5-point favorite, and honestly, if you're looking to grab some action, the odds are sitting at 1.85. It feels like one of those games where things could swing either way depending on how the rhythm settles in early, but I'm weighing that line carefully.
I'm looking at the Phoenix vs Houston under at 1.85.
I’m looking at the Sacramento Kings vs. Oklahoma City Thunder matchup on February 2nd, and I've got my eye on the Kings to pull off an away win. I'm thinking it'll land around +115 if you're playing it through DraftKings.

Total: 5,647

Let's go! 🙂

Kevin Garnett always had that versatility to step in and play center whenever the situation demanded it—he was more than just a specialist—but looking at the roster now, I finally see the Boston lineup as a truly complete unit. That said, I suspect they’ll likely have to deal with Pau Gasol taking over that interior role soon enough.

09/03-11 NBA Phoenix vs. Houston 113:110
12/04-10 NBA Phoenix vs. Houston 116:106
07/01-10 NBA Phoenix vs. Houston 118:110
02/04-09 NBA Phoenix vs. Houston 114:109
13/11-08 NBA Phoenix vs. Houston 82:94
23/03-08 NBA Phoenix vs. Houston 122:113

Looking at their last 6 games played in Phoenix, I’m really feeling an over here.🤷

Right now, the Phoenix Suns and the Houston Rockets are sitting at the top of the list when it comes to how many games have gone under the total...
Suns: O/U ( 8/17 )
Rockets: O/U ( 10/16 )

Steve Nash's shot will eventually find its rhythm.
Matchups:

Nash under 14.5
Boston vs LA Lakers - 1
Danilo Lawson over 16.5
Durant vs Bryant - 2 -> I’m eyeing about 35 points for Bryant and somewhere between 25 and 32 for Kevin Durant.

3,4 / 4

3.4 out of 4

Kobe Bryant is playing against Boston, so I passed on him for that reason... but good luck anyway!
☕

Steve Nash over or Phoenix vs Houston under—which one makes more sense to pick? 🤷
What are you guys thinking?

I get it.

I actually took him specifically because logic suggests an under, but my gut tells me the less logical outcome will probably hit instead.

We'll see.

That’s why I went with him in the Durant vs Bryant matchup instead of the over; a 2.0 line isn't something you just ignore.☕

I’m a bit of a newcomer here, but I’d love to get your take on the over for the Boston vs LA Lakers game.

The line is sitting at 177.5.
