NBA Betting: Vol. 2

I had to vent a little and let off some steam. It’s just stupid leaving that stuff in there... 😁

They could have settled this way earlier. I was actually surprised it went through at the end. LeBron James was ice cold from the free throw line to close it out.

The Houston Rockets were hanging in there at 64-54 last night before getting blown out 70-86 in just a few minutes. 🤦

The Milwaukee Bucks are sitting at 32-6 now. 🙄

And they did it practically without Andrew Bogut. 🙂

Well, at least the Portland Trail Blazers lost ( 😢 ), so my day is almost back to even.

Anyway, some pretty wild scores across the league last night...

I owe a thanks to the guy I grabbed the Andres Nocioni over from... An easy win—props to him.

I'm going to put some money down on this one.
Memphis Grizzlies vs LA Clippers +2.5
The odds are sitting right around 1.75-1.80.

Andres Nocioni (17.5) over — Denver is playing in Sacramento, which usually means a high-scoring affair filled with transition buckets and plenty of shots. Given that Nocioni is in solid form, I think he’ll easily clear that line.

Washington (192.5) vs Charlotte under — Charlotte's offense has been an absolute disaster lately. Washington can consistently put up over a hundred, but looking at the last ten meetings between these two, they've only cleared the total twice. My gut tells me this game stays about 15 points under the projected total.

Both hit without any trouble... though the Washington-Charlotte game went even further under than I expected.
David Fisher25, you're very welcome. 🙂

Keith Moore21 said:Kevin Martin over 21.5 (SS)

Both of them should hit easy ☕

but man, Philly and Utah totally screwed us 🙂

92 Denver Nuggets are absolutely cooking right now 😲

Orlando vs Boston
I’m feeling pretty good about this one, honestly—it feels like one of those gut feelings you get right before a big win. If you look at the matchup, everything just seems to be lining up perfectly for our side. It's kind of like when you're watching a game and you can just sense the momentum shifting before anyone else even realizes it's happening. I've been digging into the numbers and checking out the latest trends, and there's just this undeniable energy pointing toward this specific outcome. It's not just about the raw stats, either; it's about how the teams are clicking right now, almost like a well-oiled machine finally finding its rhythm after a rough start. So, if you're looking for where to put your energy, my pick is: Orlando Magic -7.5 @ 1.85 SS

To put it simply... it's finally payback time.🙂

Wednesday's play:

Portland Trail Blazers +3.5 -105 This is what Dad from the forum suggests http://www.forum.h he is on an insane 16:1 run

The tipster is riding a wild 16-2 streak, so I suppose it might be worth following him, given that's basically an 88.88% win rate.
My only real grievance, if I'm being honest, is that I didn't even hear about him until he was already 16-0, but I guess there is no point in nitpicking now.

My only gripe is that I didn't even hear about him until he was already 16-0, but let's not nitpick.

Just a heads up, this dude was hovering around a 50/50 split last year, so don't go all in just yet...

Funny how things start falling apart right when everyone from the forums starts paying attention. Coincidence? 😁

Anyway, Kobe 🙂

Keith Moore21 said:both of them casually ☕

but man, Philly and Utah really messed things up for me 🙂

Thanks for the tips on Kevin Martin and Chris Bosh. I also added Bogdanović at +13.5, and that triple actually hit! 😉

The only downside is that I didn't catch wind of him until he was already sitting at 16-0—but there's no sense in nitpicking now.

Matthew Bennett5 said:Just so you know—that guy was sitting at roughly a 50/50 split last year—so proceed with caution.

Daniel Robinson5 said:It starts acting up right when the crowd from the forum begins following it—coincidence? 😁

I haven't been following that guy closely—but I recently read somewhere that he’s a total fraud. Apparently, he only leaves up the winning picks and wipes everything else—including the comments on this forum—to hide the truth.

Andrew Martinez9 said:Thanks for the Kevin Martin and Chris Bosh picks—I also threw in Bogdanović at +13.5 and hit the triple. 😉

Well, at least someone actually walked away with a win 👍

Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics at 83.5—do we think Boston covers that spread?

Confirmed:

Rajon Rondo - (right wrist) is out for tonight's matchup against the Orlando Magic; Doc Rivers news suggests Avery Bradley will likely step into the starting lineup instead. Ray Allen (left ankle) didn't travel with the team, though Rivers mentioned a potential return tomorrow for the home game against the Indiana Pacers.

Mickael Pietrus (shoulder) is slated to start tonight in place of Allen, while Keyon Dooling (right knee) and Chris Wilcox (left calf) should both return to the Boston Celtics rotation. Jermaine O'Neal (left knee) is doubtful, but there's a chance he returns tomorrow night against the Pacers as well.

So, the Orlando Magic have once again struggled to even hit the 50-point mark.☕

LA Clippers vs Memphis Grizzlies
Pick: LA Clippers -3.5

Odds: 1.952

Bookmaker: Pinnacle

Confidence: 4/10

The Clippers had a rough one last night—a heated city derby against the LA Lakers that ended in a loss, despite plenty of tension and incidents on the court. Today they host Memphis, a team struggling on the road (4-5), while the Clippers have been dominant at home (8-2).
Having Chris Paul back is huge for Los Angeles; he’s easily one of the best floor generals and steal specialists in the league. He only logged 26 minutes last night, so he shouldn't be feeling too much fatigue. Even with yesterday's game, the Clippers should be well-rested given their three days of rest—meanwhile, the Grizzlies have played three games in just five days. Memphis is strong in the paint, but they tend to score about 12 fewer points in the interior when playing away compared to their home games. That’s where the Clippers hold the edge—with Blake Griffin and Jordan providing plenty of rim protection and blocks.
Memphis has been playing without their main man Zach Randolph and the athletic Jerome Arthur for a while now, so they're used to that rotation, but the Clippers are finally at full strength. When they're complete, their depth is intimidating. You've got Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Jimmy Butler, Marvin Williams, and Chauncey Billups—players who can all drop 15-20 points on any given night. Toss in Jordan and Glen Taylor, and the Clippers don't need to sweat it if one of the starters has an off night.
Memphis has a decent starting five, but the Clippers' lineup is superior. Similarly, while the Grizzlies' bench is solid, the Clippers possess more depth and better options coming off the pine.

The odds on Boston just shot up to 4

The odds have been sitting above 5.50 for quite some time now. 🤷
