My first official pick at the start of the regular season is.

Lakers -3.5..  I like the line movement, I thought it would only end up -2.5 which I think it could be very tricky but it's good that it move at least 1 point.
I am expecting that the Lakers will win here at least 5 points as without PG the Lakers for me have the edge here, of course the - points says it all.

Woah!
Here he comes, I already went Lakers -3.5 even before seeing your posts, it was valued @ 2.00 (after being boosted)
I took it together with Raptors - 2.5 in the 1st Half @ 1.76

Welcome to the 2019-2020 regular season of nba betting! Smiley
For this game I put lakers and the under since paul george is out of this debt game of the regular season. The lines look juicy for the lakers to win and probably will take out lebron and adavis if they are blowing the clippers out of the water late in the third and just sail the rest of the final quarter on reserves just so not to over use them the very first game.
Along with the champions of last season. Toronto on the win and over at home is a good pick as well.
Put them both together and you have a really good ticket for the first night of the nba season.
Thrilling to watch the ring ceremony in to! Cool

Championship prospect wise clippers are superior imo given their defence and consistency, but for opening night, I'm going with lakers.

Same here, Lakers are only -2.5 while the Clippers has no Paul George, I think this is a gift, hopefully not a trap, but usually at the start of the regular season teams like to prove and Lakers are on a mission this season so they will probably give their best in their first game.

count me in.
Same with me, Lakers with healthy Lebron will surely passed Leonard without PG., Though the odd seems to be tempting doubling your bet with handicap -3.5, but  I'll stick with ML with 1.69 with high hope that Lakers will get this first game of the season showing the LA fans the game and
enjoyment that they all deserves. Looking forward for the the first win.

If we are all going at one side here, we might loss as that's what the public is thinking.
Usually when the bet is a heavy favorites, I go against that bet,.. If you are using covers, you can see the betting stats here.

We have 2 games in the opening and the Clippers and the Lakers is the best match up that I like to see.
I wanna hear some comments regarding your opinion on the line,.

per my sportsbook, Lakers is -2.5 on the road since P. Beverley and PG are not playing.



My first lean here is the Lakers, but I will not finalize my bet yet, as usual I am doing it a day before or maybe near the game time as I want the latest update as my basis.


Can the lakers take advantage to that?

I like to think that way, because Lakers are playing with 2 superstar while the Clippers are only playing one star.
2 against 1, 2 will always win.

Clippers are the better team if health was a given.

Lakers simply have more central pieces right now available. James and AD are probably going to be both playing while PG13 is out, which would be a huge blow to any team he's on.

Not at all Bud,
Lately, I've not been following the NBA pretty well enough (I got school final project having me all engaged), I only take a few minutes to make one or two bets mostly on Over/Under because I wasn't always sure who to go with since I'm outdated on who's got who and who's in or out... I even had to google the "Lebron's china comments saga" out just today, after reading someone's (yours I think) post here on the thread.

All that being said, I already took a parlay small bet on Philly and New York Knicks' matches, I went with Over 211.5 and Under 237.5 respectively.


I'll be going with your picks to as another parlay.

Good luck!

Unlucky parlay.  anyway, the preseason is over and in 2 days we will witness the start of the regular season.

Yo, am i the only one betting on those pre-season games?  Grin

I have two singles for today. Good ol' 76ers have their final game at home v Wizards. Ben Simmons will sit this one as well. I don't think they wanna mess with their perfect record (4-0).
Nets are hosting Raptors in Brooklyn, Kyrie will make his debut (if we don't count a minute v Lakers in China). They should be hyped to get this one. They also have a perfect record @ 3-0.

Philadelphia 76ers (-3.5) @ 1.67 1st Half - Asian Handicap

Brooklyn Nets (-0.5) @ 1.80 1st Half - Asian Handicap


edit; Welp, so much for my 6 gm winning streak. WSH 54:44 PHI at the half.

Wizards started the second quarter with a 2-3 zone which caught the Sixers off guard, completely messed up the whole flow of the game for them.

edit2;

TOR 74:53 BKN (28:28 1st Q)

Defending champs look sharp just days before the start of the season. Killing it from 3pt, 14/24!

A rough night for me, 0-2

Better luck next time. I just don't think preseason games would be too serious including their win-loss records let alone first half of their matches. I am not betting on pre-season games even if it is tempting. Everyone is very excited on the start of the regular season. Go Boston! Grin

Lakers will certainly dominate the rebound game all season long, the sheer size they've got upfront with AD, McGee, and Dwight, its gonna be a challenge for many teams to match.
Most likely that would happen, and since they can control the rebound that would also translate to more dunks through offensive rebound and they will just continue to blend properly, their line up will be the best in the NBA which is almost unbeatable.

It would be a great achievement if the Lakers will top the ranking in the regular season, they haven't done for awhile so its about time.

Anyway, tomorrow we will again witness a game between the Lakers and the Warriors, my... these two teams are always playing, what's happening?

Sorry for the double-post.  Smiley


Denver are playing their fourth and final pre-season game against Portland (their only home game). Lillard, CJ and H. Whiteside are out for Blazers. I don't have information for missing/resting Nuggets players, but even if they have it won't matter much; better and deeper bench.

The last time these two teams faced each other at the Pepsi Center, it was the gm7 of the western conference finals back in May, and Portland, as you all know, won the game. I expect an easy home win and i'm going again with a half-time prediction. ML for Denver went from 1.43 to 1.26 and is still crashing as we speak.

Congrats in advance by the way. Grin

Yeah, thanks. I have to say this is by far one of the easiest bets i've won recently.
I was so sure about the outcome of the game i regret not picking the -6.5 @3.13.

Also, they dominated the rebounding in this game, 46-34/..

The latest info i've got is that both Anthony Davis (pre-season home debut) and LeBron are going to play against the Warriors today (Curry and Looney are out). I share everyone's opinion here that Lakers are going to be extremely motivated and secure a convincing double-digit win. This is their second to last pre-season game (last one is on 19th and starters usually don't play in those games). I expect LeBron to have a great first half, following all the criticism and backlash he got over his China comments the other day.

Los Angeles Lakers (-3.5) @ 1.98 1st Half - Asian Handicap
Almost done and Lakers still have a convincing leads you are really great with first half prediction, I did try it out with Houston earlier but to my surprise Spurs eat them alive. Hehehhe, oh well that's the risk of preseason and there's nothing I can do but to accept that it isn't my day today,.

In the other side, Lakers is putting a dot and if they will continue having this two-digit advantage I'll be be able to recover my previous loss.

Lakers won because they dominated in every angle, I just looked at the stats and was amazed by their 3 point shooting, in this game they have 15-30 which is 50% shooting while the Warriors were only 21.2%.. If the Lakers will be able to consistently do it in the regular season, I am gonna say they are a team which is hard to beat. Also, they dominated the rebounding in this game, 46-34/..

Los Angeles Lakers (-3.5) @ 1.98 1st Half - Asian Handicap

Nice pick, Davis and Lebron are playing in this game while Curry is out, this is a guaranteed win and a possible blowout win for the Lakers.
I wasn't able to pick this game because I like the Portland and the Jazz game and luckily it seems like I will be able to win also even if Jazz will rally.

+4.5 is like a sure thing with the way scoring is happening now.

Any early pick for tomorrow?
Thinking of betting on the game between the Lakers and the Warriors.

Lakers is only -2.5 now and will be playing at their home.

Still no Davis as he will only be available at the start of the Regular season but since this is a pre season game only, I expect the home team to be more aggressive as I am also expecting Curry will only play a limited minutes, might not even play at all.
Got mine with -6.5 handicap for Lakers with 2.14 odd, The home court advantage will make it interesting since they needed to entertained the fans to continue supporting them. Even without AD there's strong chance for Lakers to win this preseason game, not sure about Curry f he's going to bench and will only watch the whole game, maybe yes or maybe he will get some minutes. Let see if Lakers will bring some bacon. Best of luck.
From -2.5, it has now jumped to -6.5, I think Lakers might win easily here and curry won't be playing.
With this very unpredictable line up, it's wise to take it via live betting but my initial choice would be Lakers with the same -6.5.. let's see.
