Man! You are indeed lucky. You just dodged another bullet there not betting for the Bucks vs 76ers. 

1/2 for me.

LA Lakers gave me some chills there when they are on the run while Kawhi was benched for his minutes' restriction. They even had the lead for a short period of time.
76ers. Argh. Giannis was eating them whole. They are having a hard time preserving the lead.
I enjoyed the block contest though.  2 blocks for Lopez and 3 for Giannis also he is 2 assists shy of a triple-double.

My pick for tonight.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Los Angeles Clippers(-1,5) = First Quarter 1,86 odds

That's my bet tonight. I think Los Angeles Clippers will start well in the first quarter.


I can't say anything for Philadelphia vs Milwaukee, I'm not going to bet on these teams tonight.

Good luck guys.

Oh yeah, my mistake, I was looking at the whole schedule of the pre-season game and didn't check the date, and it was tomorrow Saturday that there are plenty of games.

But I will still stick with the Clippers, -3.5 for me as well.

I will skip the Bucks vs 76ers, but will watch if I have time.

@Kasabus - yeah mate, just got lucky, winning by just 0.5, 

I actually took the Bucks money line here at +145.  Think giannis fights for mvp again this year and honestly think they make it back to the Finals.  Should be a good game either way.

The late game with the Lakers is rough.  Giving the Clippers 5.5 points on theor opening night.  Lebron and AD gonna bring something special think I gotta ride the Lakers getting points here.

Enjoy the games and good luck people

Lucky you! Very nice.

Just 2 games, like stadus said.
And both games are not that far with handicaps given. So, expect a close game for those two.
I like the chances for the Clippers to win too. Reggie Jackson is the only one listed as "probable" while the Lakers have Lebron and AD in it.
Clippers -3.5

The Bucks' debut for the season. 76ers already lost one but they are the favorites. The reason behind this is Middleton and Connaughton are out.
76ers -2.5

I like the Clippers -5.5 but not the 76ers -4 because Bucks is a decent team, if 76ers will win here, I think it will be a close game so there's a good chance that the Bucks will be able to cover the spread. I know they came from a lose against the Celtics, but that doesn't mean they'll win at home. Anyway, good luck to you bro.

After witnessing plenty of games on the 2nd day of the season, tomorrow we will be limited with 2 games only.

Bucks vs 76ers -4
Clippers vs Lakers +5.5


I feel betting on the favorites would give me a win, so I'm leaning with the 76ers to bounce back from their previous game's loss and the Clippers to gave the Lakers their 2 losses in a row.

Great win man, that was very close, you won by 0.5 points only, 

Me, I had a bad day, I only had one bet and it was on the Suns, I thought they'll already lose when they are down over 20+ but when they come back I was a bit optimistic that they would cover the spread as they lead by 5 points in the 4th quarter, but they still fall short anyway.

It's good though that I was able to ride on 1/3 of your bet and it's the one that won, 

A lot of games tomorrow, I still haven't decided what to put, but in any case, I will wait for someone to share their tips and probably pick just one of all the games. 

I like the chances of the Clippers in a game between two LA teams.

I am a bit rusty too.  
Bad 2nd day for me as I only got 1 win out of 3 for my early bets.


The teams that I am expecting to win are all losing and that includes Denver Nuggets against the Utah Jazz.
Also, for the Brooklyn Nets which I thought was giving us a good surprise at how strong their chemistry will be but sadly Ben Simmons was fouled out early.
Zion is really back. Ingram is hot. That Pelicans team is crazy strong. I might bet for them at their next game.

^That's a nice win @morvillz7z

This is my teaser to start the season, looks good going into the second half, i only need 5 PRA from Banchero and 4 PRA from Wagner to kick off the season with a win.

Orlando a bit shorthanded for their opener, no Cole Anthony, Harris still recovering, not sure why RJ Hampton isn't playing, they had this big-man lineup for a short period of time in the 1Q. lol

Good, the thread is open now, and thanks @danherbias07 for giving us your tips.

I'm just a little bit rusty hehehe, nevertheless I will have to bet on some of your tips.

I will tail you Memphis -2.5 against Knicks. Gonna be close but I guess Memphis wanted to start at least winning so I have them with that handicap.

There we go. We are back.  I hope we will see new NBA bettors here in our thread to share their picks.

My tip-off win of the season.

It was a crazy game as I thought the Lakers will continue their run after cutting the lead to 12 points. Steve Ker was so mad he brought Steph back in to secure the win. 

12 games tomorrow.
I only have 3 on the line for now as I am still checking injury reports and other stuff.
Pacers vs Wizards - Pacers -1.5
Heat vs Bulls - Heat -4.5
Grizzlies vs Knicks - Grizzlies -2.5.

Good luck to everyone.

Opening this thread again since the NBA regular season has already started.

Upcoming games.

1) Chicago at Miami -6.5
2) Cleveland at Toronto -2.5
3) New York at Memphis -5.5
4) Oklahoma City at Minnesota -10.5
5) Charlotte at San Antonio +1.5
6) Charlotte at San Antonio +7.5

Thanks for the reminder, as always, this thread will be temporarily locked since the NBA season is over and there's nothing to bet on.
Please have the discussion in the main thread, like the upcoming draft pick and other rumors in the NBA.

Thanks guys, will open this as preseason starts.

Bye for now!

Wow, that was impressive, though Michael Jordan is still the richest NBA player Lebron could surpass Jordan if he continues to play in the NBA. He is still very active, could lead a team despite of his age, I love how he is taking care of his body, it only reflects how discipline he is.

Well, I understand, and like you, I am more comfortable in making bets with the NBA only because we are familiar with their players, teams, and setup that is why but why not give it a try, on my 1st day betting on the NBA I am not familiar with certain players and who's going to score 30 plus points, I am not familiar with the coaches that is why I tend to research and look for certain things that can help myself along the way, first I will get my pick then look on those certain teams that are playing and surely ask a friend if they know about that league, for me WNBA is sure a great game to start, but it is just my opinion because if we can not try on different league all we can do is to wait for the next season to start,


Lebron James will surely be remembered as one of the greatest that is why many teams would want him to be on their team, because of so much endorsement that money can potentially come in, and an opportunity like that is surely once in a lifetime, and right now Lebron James really want to play with his son until he calls it enough and retired on basketball,



Bronny James is ranked 34 on the draft pick while his father Lebron James was ranked 1, so I really think he is not really ready for an NBA shot, and many teams are really hesitant in getting him on board if it weren't for Lebron James because some teams know the stature of Lebron James there will be a lot of money if they can get Lebron on the team, but this could be a devastating career for Bronny since he will get inside the NBA not yet mature enough,

^^ Yes, Lebron has confirmed and admitted that he will likely wait for his son to be in the NBA or even in the same team before he will retire. So probably couple of years still for him to play and it seems he still has the motivation to win another ring with the Lakers (or any other team). Although he has several injuries already, but he knows how to take care of his body and with the advancement of sports medicine, maybe he can still play above average at 40. And speaking of him, he is the first active NBA player to become a billionaire.

Yes, you're right, Lebron James is one of the best, but I don't think Lebron has the old performance.




Yes, Lebron James always says that he wants to play on the same team as his own son. Lebron will most likely retire after doing so.

I have the same problem. Mostly, I just watch WNBA but there's no thread about it and I doubt there will be a lot forum members who will be participating.
Last year was all about updates, trade rumors, draft picks, and other stuff. But the year before that, I think stadus close this thread and waited before the league started to reopen it.
Most of the updates though can be covered in the other discussion thread. It will be a long summer.
