NBA Betting: Vol. 2

Zachary Palmer3 said:I’m leaning toward Deng under 19.5 in the NBA—the odds look decent enough and the line is generous for him... My only hesitation is if Rose ends up sitting out.
What’s the consensus?

Nash under, Wall under, Holiday under—everything stays under 19.5 in the NBA.

In my opinion, you should put that money on a legitimate sportsbook with actual respect for the game....

Look at the spreads: Wall at 1.20, Deng at 1.60, Nash at 1.10, and Holiday at 1.25....

It's honestly pathetic. I’d rather just play two solid legs and grab a 3.40 return than waste my cash here for a measly 2.6 payout on a four-leg parlay.🤣

Can they not set decent lines and odds? Seriously... what is wrong with these people?🙂🙂 🙂

What nonsense. 🙏 🙏 🙏

They aren't sane. 🙄

Actually, betting on Kobe under 19.5 might be worth it—the odds are solid. 😲

The Lakers will likely dismantle the Cavs. Kobe might see less minutes—plus, looking ahead, the Lakers have that LA derby against the Clippers tomorrow. They’ll definitely want to make up for those two preseason losses and prove who really runs Los Angeles. 🤷
True, Kobe is in incredible form—scoring like crazy—but given his injury history, he probably needs to pace himself in games like this. The Lakers can likely cruise to a win without him carrying the full load. Between Bynum and Gasol, they have enough firepower to handle a weak Cavs squad—especially since they played last night and won't be rested.

If this line holds until 4 PM, I might toss a few bucks on it. 😁

They aren't playing straight. 🙄

Actually, betting on Kobe to stay under 19.5 minutes looks like a solid move—the odds are too good to pass up. 😲

The Lakers will likely steamroll the Cavs; Kobe might see less court time, especially since they have that LA derby against the Clippers tomorrow. They’ll definitely want to settle the score after those two preseason losses and prove who actually runs Los Angeles. 🤷
If this line holds until 4 PM, I might just throw a few bucks on it. 😁

We're thinking along the same lines... after all those over bets, he might drop below 19.5... give him a little rest, maybe sit him out tomorrow, and there you go. 😁

We'll give it a shot.

Maybe even go with Rozan if Barnjan isn't an option.

Terry Cook48 said:then we’re thinking along the same lines... after all those massive scoring bursts, he could easily dip below 19.5—maybe let him cool off for a bit or just have an off night and there you go...😁

We'll give it a shot...

Yeah, after two games where he cleared 40 points ( 🙏 ), things might settle down today. His average won't take too much of a hit if he lands somewhere in the 16-17 range. 😁

Maybe I'm wrong about the Rozan spread if Miami stays hot, but honestly? Betting the under on Giannis feels like a lock to me. I really think we're seeing a total blowout against Miami tonight—they’ll be dialed in after those two losses. Plus, that Italian guy tweaked his ankle in the last game, so that's gotta factor in.

James Taylor3 said:Exactly—after dropping over 40 points in two straight games ( 🙏 ), things might actually stabilize today. His average won't take too much of a hit if he lands somewhere in the 16-17 point range. 😁

Spot on. 🙂

@ Terry Cook48
I suppose these courses are enough for my stake... it's just that the lines have shifted quite a bit.... I don't see any players who look like a "sure thing" to me, or anyone I'm certain missed the margin today. Yesterday I went all in on Howard and the Detroit over 177.5, but I just don't see those opportunities today 😢

Zachary Palmer3 said:@ Terry Cook48
these lines work fine for my betting style—it's just that the spreads feel way off lately... I don't see a single player who looks like a "lock" to me, or anyone I'd bet on being significantly undervalued today... Yesterday, I felt solid putting the house on the Howard game and taking the over on Detroit (over 177.5), but today? I'm just not seeing it. 😢

I hear you... but honestly, these odds just seem a bit foolish to me... sorry... good luck. 😁

Terry Cook48 said:I appreciate you... though I suppose my recent choices were perhaps a bit foolish... my apologies... Best of luck...😁

No apology is necessary, everything is fine. Thank you for your comment.
🙂

I’m probably starting to bore myself—let alone all of you—but regardless, I’d like to request some NBA odds. 😍

No need for anything too granular; just the basics and the total points should do fine. 😁

Phoenix vs. New Jersey - Under 197.5
We all know most games this season have been leaning heavily toward the under lately. Honestly, New Jersey has been playing pretty terrible and struggles to put points on the board. Plus, the Suns just don't seem to have that offensive spark they had in years past, you know? And since this is a back-to-back for them, I’ll probably want to take things slow given how much mileage these guys have on their bodies. Seems like a solid bet to me, I guess.

running a 10/12 system here

Thanks, Terry Cook48. 🙂

The Lakers should probably take down Cleveland, but -11.5 feels a bit steep—I assume that’s just due to how they’re setting the lines for certain teams.

I'm liking the Dallas unit, and the odds against New Orleans aren't bad either.

I'll dive deeper into the matchups this afternoon.

Should've had more cushion on this one...

Give me a break, the real value is on the over at 1.05. ☕...

In theory, the payment went through

Just as a bit of food for thought—I was watching Kobe the other day, and during that first quarter alone, he absolutely tore through Utah, dropping 19 points like it was nothing. He ended up finishing with north of 40, and honestly, he didn't even look like he broke a sweat. He’s hit the over in his last six games, and I expect him to keep that streak alive this time around—provided the coaching staff doesn't decide to pull him early for some rest or whatever.

Unless, of course, they do.
