NBA Betting: Vol. 2

17:2 series? Get real, you hacks. It’s nothing but overrated hype.

Nicholas Chase34 said:Since Rose is looking pretty likely to suit up—his status is listed as probable, though some sources say it's a game-time decision, but I'm leaning towards him playing—I felt compelled to take Denga under 18.5. It's hard for any small forward to score big against someone like Patty Ariza... also, instead of taking the over on Aldridge (one point just feels a bit too high for my taste), I went with an alternative matchup. I think Deron Williams' realistic ceiling is 21.5, plus he tends to play much better on the road. If the Memphis Grizzlies can't pull off a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves without Kevin Love—their primary rebounder and a key piece—especially while they're tired, then they are truly 🤷 doomed! ☕

I've been following your parlay, and I decided to jump in on the bullseye

So far, so good... Denga has three buckets in the first half, Williams is sitting at just 7, Memphis is up by 6, and Wall Street was a lock ages ago😁

Nah, they aren't even gonna be squaring off at the Washington Wizards arena this Friday

James went totally scoreless in the second half 🙂

The LA Clippers just dropped three out of four quarters—now they're trailing in the fourth. They managed to take the first one, but given how this is playing out... 🤦

Dwyane Wade is sitting at 15 points, and we're barely halfway through the third.

I've got a bad feeling about how things will shake out with LaMarcus Aldridge. If he keeps up this pace through the end of the game, he could easily land somewhere between 24 and 28 points.

Deron Williams is sitting at 17... should I start getting worried? 😁

Komica, Clippsi is struggling and the Cleveland Cavaliers are completely shorthanded, what do you think?

Williams hitting 25+ points

yawn

22 points for Deron, with only 8 minutes left on the clock... this isn't going to end well : /

Rough..

I don't see Aldridge hitting 30+, whereas Williams could easily cruise past 30 in just 8 minutes. He was practically living at the free throw line today.
🙄

Just wanted to ask—purely for my own info—do over/under bets include overtime, or is it just regulation play?

swiftbadger30 said:Just asking for informational purposes, do over/under bets include overtime or?

Yes

Deron Williams scored all 16 of his points in the final quarter when he was sitting at 29.🤣

He hit 34... I'm honestly just curious to see how this all plays out..

Expecting an easy win for the Bulls—honestly, they probably should be covering by double digits here.

Respect, 🙏

Aldridge-Williams... I mean, honestly, what on earth were they thinking with that pairing? It just feels completely wrong to me, I guess...

A narrow escape for Chicago. 😁

Wall really pulled me out of a hole tonight, I guess. Looking back at those scores, things actually could have gone way worse than they did

Zidaric is absolutely loving playing at home because he gets way more looks and stays much sharper, honestly I feel like hitting the over on him happens like 80% of the time when he's at home, but once he's on the road, man, it's a whole different ballgame🤷,but with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, it's basically the exact opposite situation🤷,so does anyone have any solid picks for today? I'm leaning towards Paul Pierce over, Andrew Bynum over, Gerald Martin under, Chris Evans over, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook over, and maybe Steve Nash over... but am I being an idiot if I go with Monta Ellis over after that massive game he just had? He’s super hit-or-miss and usually struggles on the road, but then again, Denver isn't exactly a defensive powerhouse right now and they're dealing with a ton of injuries anyway🤷

Hey, my man LaMarcus Aldridge, and hey you too, Deron Williams, don't you two feel like you might have accidentally swapped scoring duties or something lately? 🙄 😠

Man, what was I thinking waking up at 5 AM just to stare at the lines for the Chicago Bulls, Memphis, and then checking out the Clippers🙂...
