NBA Betting: Vol. 2

Keith Moore21 said:Look, I'm not going to waste my breath writing out a full breakdown just to drop a pick here.

Indiana -9.5

Honestly, Indiana is basically at full strength—minus Foster, obviously, who’s out for the season. They play incredibly well at home. They've been beating teams that are significantly better than the Nets, who happen to be one of the worst squads in the league right now. To make matters worse, the Nets are showing up without four or five key players. They were already missing Lopez, and now they've got Brooks, Stevenson, and Okur on the injury report. That's practically their starting five. It shouldn't be an issue for the home team. I’m expecting a margin of at least 15 to 20 points...

I completely agree. I actually added the Lakers -12.5 to my slip too. In my opinion, that's a very realistic line because the Bobcats are absolutely pathetic right now.

atlanta 2
and what do you all honestly think about Cleveland hitting over 86.5??

The performance today is honestly pretty lackluster...:/

Indiana built up a massive 16-point cushion with just eight minutes left on the clock—only to completely fall apart during a six-minute scoring drought. Naturally, the Nets turned that 16-1 run around to pull within three. 🙂

Honestly, I'm just sitting here watching this unfold and I can't wrap my head around it. "Johnny, people have totally lost their minds. WTF!"

James Taylor3 said:Indiana built up this massive 16-point cushion with just eight minutes left on the clock—and then they completely fall apart during a six-minute scoring drought. It’s predictable, really. The Nets went on a 16-1 run and suddenly we're looking at a three-point game. 🙂

Honestly, someone should probably check if the janitorial staff actually cleaned the floor properly... 😁

James Taylor3 said:The Pacers built up this massive 16-point lead with just 8 minutes left on the clock, and then everything just fell apart during a six-minute scoring drought. I guess the Nets really pulled off a 16-1 run to bring it down to just three points. 🙂

I think at one point it might have even been 18, but honestly, it was getting late and my math isn't exactly great lately. 😁

Anyway, let's hope they pull it together and close this out. 🙂 🙂

Honestly, how do these refs manage to completely ruin a game? It’s unbelievable how they just robbed New Jersey like that.🤦

Indiana 🤮🤦🙂🙂

Pure filth 🤦 just shameful..

If the margin had been just -8.5 for Indiana, I would have personally come for Granger over this. 🤣

Haha, that’s actually exactly what I was about to say... what an idiot

Keith Moore21, whenever we both pull for the same pair, it never pans out. 🙂 🤣

I woke up last night to catch the second half—the Indians had pulled ahead by +18 right around the 7 or 8 minute mark, but they barely managed to scrape a win in the end. 🙂

Morning, everyone. The big US sportsbooks just dropped their lines. What’s the verdict? Anyone spotting any glitches like that mess we saw at Madison Square Garden yesterday?

Milwaukee Bucks - Miami Heat -6.5 @ 1.85
7/10
So, just about a week ago, these two squads went head-to-head at the Fiserv Forum, and honestly, the Bucks pulled off a total shocker by taking down the Heat. Look, the Heat are easily one of the toughest teams to face on the road in the NBA, so you can bet they’re itching to get some payback for that stumble last week. Wade is back in the lineup and he’s been looking sharp since his return—I mean, sure, he had a bit of a rough outing against the Bulls, but he still managed to come through with those clutch buckets when it mattered most. LeBron is basically playing on another planet right now, proving once again he’s the undisputed king of the league. Plus, Bosh is starting to play much more aggressively alongside guys like Battier, Miller, Cole, and Chalmers... I don't know, maybe that's just too much firepower for Milwaukee to handle? Especially since they already lost to them in Florida, so I'm thinking they'll be even more fired up this time. It’s all getting pretty intense, especially if the Bulls trip up during their tough road trip at the 76ers, which could shake up the top of the Eastern Conference quite a bit.

Deron Williams Over 21.5 @ 1.85
6/10
The Nets are hosting Detroit tonight, and let’s be real, these are probably two of the bottom five teams in the league right now. There isn't a whole lot to dissect here, and I've gotta run, but I'll say this: Williams is clearly the engine of this Nets team. He’s basically realized he can't rely on anyone else to bail him out, so he's just taking over the offense himself. You can see it in the numbers—he's been hitting the over consistently lately. Just look at yesterday; even though Morrow was hogging a ton of shots, Deron still managed to rack up 34 points. Detroit’s defense is kind of a mess, and I highly doubt Stuckey and his crew have the juice to actually stop him.

I’m just looking for one quick bit of info... do we think Deng is starting against Philly tonight, and is Jefferson going up against the Clippers?

Nah, Deng's out, and I think Jefferson is a game-time decision.

Just last week these two were facing off at the Fiserv Forum and the Bucks pulled off a massive upset against Miami. Look, the Heat are one of the toughest road teams in the NBA right now, and you can bet they’re looking to settle the score after that stumble. Wade is back in the lineup and looks solid since his return—minus that weirdly quiet game against the Bulls—and he still finds a way to sink those clutch buckets when it matters. LeBron is just playing on another planet lately, and with Bosh getting more aggressive alongside Battier, Miller, Cole, and Chalmers... I don't know, feels like a bit much for Milwaukee to handle. Especially since Miami beat them in Florida; they're going to be hungry for this one. Plus, if the Bulls slip up during their tough trip to Philly, the East standings could get messy again.

Deron Williams over 21.5, Odds 1.85
6/10
The Nets are hosting Detroit, which is basically a matchup between two of the worst squads in the league right now. Not much to dissect here, and I've got places to be. Williams is clearly the only guy on the Nets actually doing anything; he's realized his teammates aren't helping much, so he's just taking every shot available. You saw it yesterday—even with Morrow hogging the ball, Deron still dropped 34 points. Detroit's defense is a joke. I highly doubt Stuckey and the crew have any chance of stopping him.

...first pick I spotted this morning. I've already got it covered at my local sportsbook with a -19.5+ line...👍

What a waste. 😢

Now I’m watching both the Celtics and the Pacers blow their leads right in the fourth quarter. 🙂

Just another random parlay for the changeup🤷

Rose over 25.5 @ 1.85
Bosh over 17.5 @ 1.85
Aldridge over 22.5 @ 1.85
Love over 23.5 @ 1.85
Westbrook over 21.5 @ 1.85
James over 28.5 @ 1.85 SS

I mean, look, if the stars align and we get a little bit of luck on our side, this could actually hit, right?☕
