NBA Betting: Vol. 2

Honestly, a player's field goal percentage feels like a total lottery right now

Really?

You think Dwight Howard is going over this year?🤣

The year has barely started—no way we're hitting the over this early. Hahaha.

Denver Nuggets vs. Milwaukee Bucks... 1.47 odds...
6/10

The Nuggets are playing their third game in three nights, but we’ve seen plenty of teams handle that kind of schedule without showing any signs of fatigue by the third matchup. Besides, Denver has enough depth on their bench to make sure that shouldn't be an issue... The Bucks have definitely improved their scoring average by about 6.4 points compared to last season when they were dead last in that category, yet they still can't seem to hold onto a lead for more than five minutes. They blew a 14-point cushion against the Hornets, and they nearly threw away a massive 26-point lead against the Wizards. They lost both matchups against Denver last year, and honestly, I think they’re going to do it again tonight...

#5
Detroit Pistons vs. Orlando Magic: 2 - 1.59...
5/10

My prediction that this is going to be one of those rougher seasons for the Orlando Magic still stands, though I have to admit the squad has found a bit of a rhythm lately with four straight wins under their belts. After that incredible comeback against the Toronto Raptors last night, they’re heading into Detroit tonight—a place where they've actually managed to pull off two wins in a row recently. That said, the Pistons are struggling big time on the defensive end, and if Orlando starts hitting from beyond the arc, we could very well be looking at a cover...

Took Minnesota +5 and OKC ML. Honestly, I think I jumped the gun on that second pick a bit too fast... but hey, fingers crossed that Russell Westbrook doesn't completely blow it again like he always does.

Yeah, I'm with you on that 🤦

Fantastic😎

Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see😁

If we hadn't actually seen it play out on the court, I'd say this was exactly how things should have gone...

If we hadn't actually seen them play, nobody would believe it—this is how it should have been done in the first place.

At this point, the best move is for Deron Williams to just drop 50 points.😁

Boston already blew a +10 lead... I seriously hate it when teams play absolute masterclass basketball—just pure, fluid stuff—and then suddenly hit this weird 2 or 3 minute stretch where nobody can buy a bucket. It’s like they’re trying to shoot into a washing machine or something. And yeah, I'm looking right at the Knicks and the Toronto Raptors right now.

Managed to sink 4 in a row within a 30-second window

New York went 11-39 from two-point range

Tracy absolutely tore through Miami

Andrea Bargnani finishes with 21 points—if I’d taken him under, I’d be sitting on at least 25 right now. Just my luck.

that kid with number 21 clocked in 17 seconds left on the clock before the buzzer

Deron Williams (-19.5) - New Jersey vs. Indiana Pacers I’m feeling pretty good about taking the over at 1.85. Twenty-two points!

Nicholas Chase34 said:I’m feeling pretty good about the Utah Jazz and New Orleans Pelicans matchup tonight, specifically looking at the total score landing under 182.5 at those 1.85 odds. It feels like one of those games where the pace might just stall out, you know? Sometimes you expect a shootout, but if the defense settles in early, we could easily see a lower-scoring affair than the books are predicting. I'll be riding with the under on this one! Or you could just head over to SuperSport and try betting on both teams to go under. I'm feeling pretty good about taking the Utah Jazz under 94.5 points at 1.85; it just feels like one of those games where the offense might struggle to find its rhythm, almost like a slow Sunday morning in Denver where nobody can quite get moving. It looks like you might have hit send a little too early! I'm ready to get to work whenever you're set—just drop the text you need me to overhaul, and I'll dive right in to give it that smooth, authentic American vibe. I’m feeling pretty good about the New Orleans Pelicans scoring under 87.5 at 1.85 odds. It feels like a solid play to me. So, what exactly does the coefficient give you? Basically, it’s like looking at the odds before you dive into a bet—it tells you how much of a payout you're actually looking at relative to what you put down. It's that little number that dictates whether a win is going to be a small snack or a full-on feast. 3,42

The New Orleans Pelicans really like to drag things out and play at a snail's pace, averaging about 91.2 possessions per game, whereas the Utah Jazz tend to push the tempo just a bit more with around 97.5. It’s pretty clear that the Pelicans build their offense through a slow, grinding process, especially since they’re sitting on one of the stingiest defenses in the league right now—only giving up about 87.8 points on average—even if their own scoring output is pretty lackluster, hovering around 85. On the other side, Utah is putting up roughly 90.5 points, which doesn't feel like a massive offensive threat for the visitors, particularly since their whole system basically revolves around their big men in the frontcourt. Neither squad really has a superstar scorer who can just take over a game and blow things wide open, so I'm leaning toward a low-scoring grind, maybe something in the neighborhood of 91 to 85. ☕

Final score is 92 to 88, which brings the total points for this one up to 180.

Man, what a night for the scores. 🙂

Both of them—both bets fell through. 🙂

Hmm... that's weird... I was checking the Yahoo Sports page and they actually had the final score listed as 92:88 🙄

Heading out today to see how things shake out... we'll just have to wait and see what happens 🙂
