NBA Betting: Vol. 2

Philadelphia and Orlando are set to clash, and looking at the numbers, Philly is sitting at a 1.45 line. I guess you could say they're the favorites here, though anything can happen in the league once the whistle blows.
8/10
Maybe it’s just me, but looking at Phoenix vs. Dallas, I feel like the odds at 1.85 are actually pretty interesting. It’s one of those matchups where you really have to dig deep to see who’s got the edge. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out on the court.
6/10
Maybe Houston takes it over Minnesota, I guess. The odds are sitting around 1.70 for that one.
7/10

My lock for today is Wall under. Rose seems frustrated with his own performance lately, so he’ll likely go hard on Wall tonight.

Wall went 3 for 14 from the field and scored only nine points in the most recent meeting at Verizon Center, as Rose scored 21 to lead Chicago to a 105-77 win last Feb. 28.
Wall is averaging 13.3 points and 4.3 turnovers in four career games against Chicago.

Also, taking Chicago -8.5 wouldn't be a bad move to try:

The reigning league MVP now looks to help the Bulls avoid their first back-to-back regular-season losses since Feb. 5 and 7. Fortunately, they've won their last six meetings with the Wizards - the last three by an average margin of more than 20 points.

It honestly irritates me how these incompetent bookies here just sit around waiting for the guys over in the States to wake up so they can finally adjust their margins and drop the odds. It’s like they want us to just wait around and copy everything they do. Everyone should just cancel their bets. 😁

edit: Correcting an error in my previous post. I meant they should adjust the margins and lower the odds 😁

Heath hahaha 🤦

After two rough nights, maybe it's finally time to get back in the green...

rose-wade 1 ...Derrick Rose will definitely be fired up after those free throws at the buzzer last night, whereas Dwyane Wade isn't quite fully fit yet. That’s my take.

james-durant 2 ...New Orleans is a mess; I’m expecting Miami to run them ragged, which might mean less minutes for LeBron James... meanwhile, Kevin Durant faces a brutal matchup against the LA Clippers where he'll have to carry the load again...

love(23,5) - over ...this game between the Clippers and Oklahoma City is easily the most interesting one on the board... I’m expecting a high-scoring affair on both sides, so Love should clear this. A few threes, some trips to the line, a couple of buckets in the paint, and he's there.

iguodala(12,5) - over ...honestly, I'm only taking this because the line is high enough to be tempting. He’s been struggling all season, but it’s about time he bounced back. I suspect this might be a low-scoring grind with tight defense, but if he can't even hit 13 points, he might as well just head straight to a local brewery.

It’s a good thing it wasn't the 😬Detroit Pistons

That was the first thing I noticed, and then I saw Heath 🤣

Man, I wouldn't even touch Houston if Al Jefferson wasn't playing... though, honestly, I wouldn't mind getting close to one of those Chicago Bulls fans 😍

If Steve Nash isn't on the court, you definitely gotta put your money on Dallas...

If Steve Nash isn't on the court, definitely bet on Dallas...

Total creep🤣

Yeah, I caught that in the news this morning too. What a bunch of uneducated idiots. Just day after day, moving from one poorly written articleha to the nexthak. 🤦

wiredcanyon39, looks like Bosch made the headlines too.

If I were their boss, they’d be fired on the spot. I have zero patience for that kind of stuff—especially from people who should know better. 🙂

I saw someone mention on the league forum that Dallas is at 1.85; I'm leaning heavily toward them tonight, particularly if Steve Nash is out.

I noticed her before I even spotted Derrick Rose in the photo. 🙂
Anyway, any of you guys around? Let me know. : coffee:

and then he actually shows up 🤣

honestly, it’s not even surprising that Ruzica and LeBron James missed all four of those shots right at the end 😍

What do you guys think about the matchup between Chris Paul and Paul Wall? I'm leaning toward Paul. But honestly, I don't follow the NBA that closely, so I'm asking... 🤷

shadowgardener10 said:What's your take on the Chris Paul vs. Paul Wall matchup?

Best regards. 🤣

shadowgardener10 said:What do you guys think about this Chris Paul vs. Paul Wall matchup? I'm leaning toward Paul... though I don't know a ton about the NBA, so I'm just throwing it out there.. 🤷

Well, if your gut is telling you that, maybe you're onto something 🤣

edit: I'm thinking Paul should probably take this one 👍

edit: Correcting an inaccurate quote. To copy the margins and lower the odds 😁

the Philly odds dropped from 1.50 to 1.30 ☕

wiredcanyon39 said:Philadelphia and Orlando 1 1.45
8/10
Phoenix and Dallas 2 1.85
6/10
Houston and Minnesota 1 1.70
7/10

And just which sportsbook is offering odds like that?

Keith Moore21 said:And the real one actually showed up 🤣

Honestly, it's no shock Ruzica and LeBron James missed all four shots at the end. 😍

I bet Milojko would be trying to get out of it for three days straight. ☕
