NBA Betting: Vol. 2

Who is this guy from Washington? It’s like he’s trying to hit the rim by throwing rocks at it instead of shooting a basketball.

Had to happen, I guess... first place vs last place, one huge blunder 🤣

Nice, Oklahoma actually lost

Maybe not—wow, what a finish

Sometimes you just find yourself wondering...

i New York 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Indiana 🙂

The Pacers held a 14-point lead heading into the final frame—only to get absolutely dismantled by a 26-8 run in the fourth. 🤦

I haven't seen anything quite like that in the NBA. 🙄

Sacramento just dominated the glass, snatching 30 offensive rebounds right out from under them. 😲

On another note, it looks like every game has been a nail-biter lately—well, except for Boston.

So, who actually managed to pull it off yesterday? Honestly, huge props to the underdogs because the three absolute worst teams in the league all walked away with wins. We had the Nets and the Wizards taking care of business, and then you’ve got the Suns—who, let's be real, have the most pathetic paint defense I've seen in years—somehow pulling off this miracle comeback against Sacramento. Then the Clippers went out there without Paul and somehow took down the Mavs. I don't know, man... I guess yesterday was just officially the worst night of the NBA season so far.

wiredcanyon39 said:Man, who even was that yesterday? Seriously, I’m sitting here staring at the scoreboard like, is this even real life? Because honestly, the three absolute worst teams in the league all managed to pull off wins—I mean, come on! You’ve got the Nets and the Wizards actually showing up, and then you look at the Suns... I mean, they have arguably the most pathetic paint defense in the entire NBA, right? And yet, somehow, miraculously, Sacramento pulls off a comeback against them? How does that even happen?! Then you’ve got the Clippers playing without Paul and somehow stumbling their way into a win against the Mavs. I don't know, man, I just don't know. If you're asking me, yesterday was hands down the single worst night of the season so far. Just total chaos. Absolute madness. What are we even watching anymore?

That’s exactly why you gotta use Handi, right? Like, look, I personally took the Wash off just so we wouldn't end up dropping 10.5 points, and now I'm sitting here losing my mind wondering how many shots Wall actually sank. Seriously, does anyone even know?😍Some people were out here straight up claiming there was zero chance it’d go over, like they actually knew what they were talking about! Can you believe that? Seriously, how can anyone be that confident when they're dead wrong? It's honestly laughable.🤷Man, it’s such a damn shame that Evans totally screwed me over on that win, you know? Like, seriously, how does that even happen? But whatever, I'm not gonna let it get to me—things are bound to look up eventually!🤷Man, why even sweat the small stuff over a measly $1.20 payout that isn't even gonna move the needle for you? It’s honestly ridiculous. Everyone knows what works best, right? I’ve finally figured out that I have way better luck betting on actual teams instead of trying to gamble on these absolute loose cannons—you know, those individual players who act like they woke up on the wrong side of the bed and decided to play like garbage just for the hell of it? Seriously, how are you supposed to predict anything when you don't even know if they're going to show up or just completely fall apart mid-game? Total waste of time!

Holy hell, give me a break... those results are just straight-up nonsense. If Washington actually beats Oklahoma City, I’m officially retiring from this whole thing, man. 🙂
But then you look at Denver absolutely destroying everyone, and I didn't even have the guts to put any money on them... 🙂

Some people were saying there was zero chance of the over🤷, and man, it sucks that Evans screwed me over on the payout, but whatever, it'll be fine🤷. I mean, the 1.20 odds kind of suck since they don't really boost the profit much, but hey, everyone knows best, right? I think I've started picking teams better than these crazy players who you can never tell if they woke up on the wrong side of the bed or not

Look, I know exactly how many points he dropped, and honestly, it felt like a total joke responding to what my good buddy Ronald Chase44 was saying earlier—if I’m remembering him right! Anyway, Wall has been on this absolute tear lately, just ripping through games, and at this point, I don't even care who they're playing against, he's just locked in, you know? 🤷I really need to go check out today's spread and the over/under lines, but there are only three games on the slate today, so the selection is pretty thin, 🤷but just off the top of my head? I'm thinking Jefferson, Kobe, LeBron, and Bosh are all going over, while Dirk might stay under if that line sits at 21.5, and Scola could definitely go over too.

What on earth was that yesterday? 🙏

Do overtime periods count toward the total basket count, or are we just looking at the regulation game time?

Regulation only...

Jesse Wright68 said:Ellis under 23.5
Magic Johnson over 19.5
Tony Parker over 17.5
Detroit Pistons under 88.5Atlanta Hawks over 93.5

I'm splitting these across a few different tickets with low stakes. Good luck tonight.

.
The last three went my way—money back plus a win on the Parker single; an easy profit. Last night was a win. Today, I doubt I'll be playing anything at all.

Even the Suns, with that absolutely terrible paint defense, managed to pull off a miracle comeback against the Sacramento Kings. Then the LA Clippers took down the Dallas Mavericks without Paul. Honestly, what can I even say? Yesterday was easily the worst night of the NBA Season so far.

It worked for me!

Portland Trail Blazers @ Atlanta Hawks

Betting on the Atlanta Hawks? Looking at those Moneylines!
The Odds are sitting at 2.30 with the Bookie, but BetPhoenix has them at 5/5. What do you guys think?

That's what I got in my inbox!🙂

Oklahoma 🙂

Honestly, the smartest move today would just be to bet on LeBron James and Kobe Bryant and enjoy the ride 🙂

Is LeBron James going to clear that 29.5 mark? I mean, come on, look at him! Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that he's hitting that number? It seems almost too easy, right?
Are we seriously even debating this? I’m telling you right now, if you aren't riding with Kobe Bryant to go over 29.5, what are you even doing with your life? The odds are sitting at 1.85 and honestly, it feels like a total gift. How can anyone look at him right now and think he won't smash that number? He’s on a different level! Just look at the momentum! You really think he stays under that? No way. Get on the Kobe Bryant over 29.5 line while you still can!
Is anyone actually looking at the numbers for Scola? I’m telling you, taking him under 18.5 at 1.85 feels like a total gift right now! I mean, seriously, does anyone really think he's going to smash through that ceiling tonight? It just doesn't sit right with me!
Richard Jefferson over 18.5 at 1.85 odds? Are you kidding me right now? I mean, seriously, look at the matchup! You really think he isn't going to clear that line? It’s almost too easy, right? Just a total no-brainer if you aren't looking at this like a complete amateur. I've been staring at these numbers all morning and honestly, how can anyone doubt this? It's just sitting there waiting to be taken!
I'm looking at Dirk Nowitzki under 20.5 at 1.85 on the HL—man, does anyone else feel like this is just begging for a massive blowout? I mean, seriously, how can you bet against him right now? He's absolutely cooking! Is he even human at this point? I've been staring at these lines all morning and honestly, if you aren't playing Dirk to go over, what are you even doing with your life? It feels like such a steal, almost too good to be true, but hey, that's why we play the game, right? Just a total lock in my eyes!

That’s all I’ve got for you guys today! Look, MKAT, I’ve actually got a killer average going right now, so feel free to grab a couple of these picks, but for the love of God, don't go overboard with the action—keep those bets reasonable, alright?😍

Won 😍

☕

I'm going with the Utah Jazz at -2.5 with odds of 1.85, plus I'll take Luol Deng over 16.5 points.
