How to Bet on the NBA - Basketball Betting, Odds, Lines

NBA betting offers various options, from simple bets to complex wagers like player performances and point spreads. This guide covers everything you need to know about how to bet on the NBA: understanding odds, placing bets, and using strategies to succeed. We'll also explore trends like live betting and online tools for valuable insights.

How Does NBA Betting Work?

There are many different ways to place bets on NBA games and a ton of opportunities for entertainment, to have fun, and to make money.

The basic idea behind betting on NBA basketball is placing a real-money wager on an outcome with specific odds and payout determined by the house. Should the wager prove successful, the bettor is paid their winnings (initial bet amount + profit) from the house at the predetermined payout agreed to at the time of the wager.

Looking at gambling odds can be daunting. While the wording and the numbers might seem complicated at first, have no fear, we’re here to explain how to read odds and betting lines in simple terms, along with easy-to-understand examples.

How to Sign Up for NBA Online Betting

For people living in States where online gambling is legal, the process of creating an account at a sportsbook is really simple. The first step is selecting the sports betting site that best suits your needs.

Take your time, it’s an important decision. There are many aspects to consider. We definitely recommend looking at the sign-up bonuses as well as the software, the user interface, and the types of sports and bets offered.

For example, if live betting really appeals to you, there are some sites that specialise in that and offer a lot more betting options and lines compared to others. Find them all in our list of the best live betting sites.

After that, you’ll need to follow a straightforward registration process, provide some basic personal information and then make your first deposit. Most sites accept all the common payment method options, including credit cards and e-wallets.

How Do NBA Betting Odds Work?

As you look at each game, you notice similarities in how things are listed. Here are the main points you need to pay attention to and become familiar with:

• The odds will be listed across two rows. One for the home team, one for the visiting team. The home team is almost always on the bottom.

• The categories (columns) listed at the top are the types of bets available to wager on. From left to right, it is usually listed as Moneyline, Point Spread and Over/Under (Total).

• Within each column will be numbers. Some will have a plus (+) or a minus (-) written with it.

• A minus sign represents odds for a favorite.

• A plus sign represents odds for an underdog.

Study these basic concepts and once they’re clear we can begin to explain how to read the odds in each main kind of NBA betting.

1. NBA Moneyline Betting

Moneyline bets are the simplest form of wager. You select which team you think will win. If they win, you win. If they lose, you lose.

Just remember, in most cases, a game will have a favourite and an underdog, and because of that, they will have different odds and payouts assigned to them.

The underdog will have longer odds (bigger payout) while the favorite will have shorter odds (smaller payout). In other words, a successful bet on a favorite will pay less than a successful bet on an underdog. That should be pretty logical since it’s more likely that the team with more skill will win the game.

We will see moneyline bets listed with American odds, which can look a bit confusing. A typical NBA line could look like this:

• Houston Rockets -150

• Detroit Pistons +140

The simplest way to conceptualise this is to start with the plus (+) sign and the minus (-) sign.

• The (+) indicates that the team is the underdog

• The (-) indicates that the team is the favorite

• A (+) before a number means you will win that amount of profit on a $100 wager.

• A (-) before a number means you must bet that amount in order to make $100 profit.

So, for the example above, we know that the Rockets are the favourites and the Pistons are the underdogs.

• A successful $150 bet on the Rockets would pay $250 ($150 initial + $100 profit).

• A successful $100 bet on the Pistons would pay $240 ($100 initial + $140 profit).

Of course, it isn’t a requirement to bet in these increments of $100 wins or wagers. You are able to bet any amount you want, this just simplifies the math. Any ticket that you buy at a sportsbook will show the potential payout on the paper, and online sportsbooks will post the winning amount as you type it in on the site.

2. NBA Point Spread Betting

American odds, like in moneyline bets, are one way sportsbooks even the odds. Remember, the sportsbook’s goal is to get an even amount of action on both sides of every bet. That way, they’re guaranteed a profit no matter who wins.

Another way they can even the odds so people bet on both teams equally is called the point spread, sometimes referred to as just “the spread”.

Whenever a game has a favorite and an underdog, the oddsmakers will determine the most likely margin of victory and assign that point difference to each team to level the playing field.

Levelling the playing field is called handicapping, and the margin the sportsbook thinks the favourite will win by is called the point spread.

Let’s look at an example of an NBA point spread to show you what we mean.

• Dallas Mavericks -7.5

• Brooklyn Nets +7.5

In this example, the Mavericks are -7.5 point favourites against the Nets, who are +7.5 point underdogs.

• Betting on the favoured Mavericks means you think they will win by 8 or more points. If they lose outright or win by 7 or less, they do not cover the spread.

• Betting on the underdog Nets means you think they will either win the game outright or lose by less than 8.

We touched on it before, but it’s crucial to understand why sportsbooks spend so much time creating accurate lines like point spreads. Since the house is taking a commission on each bet (their fee for providing the betting service), they want equal action on all sides.

3. NBA Over/Under Betting (Point Totals Betting)

You don’t always need to pick a winner or worry about point spreads. NBA betting can also be done strictly based on total points scored.

Point totals, also referred to as Over/Under bets, are a really popular bet in basketball where the outcome of the wager depends only on whether the combined total points scored in the game is more or less than a specific line set by the sportsbook oddsmakers.

Let’s look at an example:

• Golden State vs Utah has an Over/Under line set at 207.5, paying -110 either way.

• If you think the game will have 208 or more point,s you bet the Over.

• If you believe the game will have less than 208 point,s then bet Under.

• A winning $110 bet will pay $210 back ($110 initial + $100 profit).

• Bets can be for any amount, but it is easiest explained in relation to a $100 base unit.

Sportsbook will also offer Over/Under bets for the game after the first Quarter and at Halftime. Furthermore, they will offer individual team Over/Unders at those same intervals.

Once you understand the concept of Over/Under bets, you can extend that knowledge to all prop bets for individuals and teams when you see a given line asking whether they will exceed a specific set line. The concept is exactly the same.

4. NBA Prop Betting

Prop bets, which are short for proposition bets, are a type of wager that depends on whether or not a specific thing will happen during the course of a game.

Generally, prop bets are wagers on a specific player or team’s performance, but there are cases when the outcome isn’t even sports-related. In basketball, you can see this most readily at the NBA All-Star weekend.

• Prop bets made before the season begins that make predictions about how well teams or players will do are called Futures bets because you need to wait until later on in the season to find out the result. A common futures bet is to wager on one team winning the championship at the end of the season.

• Prop bets for a specific game tend to focus more on individual performances with star players getting the most lines as they generate the most interest. There will be prop bet lines set for the amount of points, assists, rebounds, blocks, fouls etc. Some sportsbooks have more props to choose from than others.

Prop betting is one of the most entertaining kinds of sports betting, and it has developed and expanded significantly over the years, especially as the internet has grown and gotten faster.

You’ll find NBA prop bets posted daily but you should study them for a while before you delve too deep. Sometimes the odds will be alluring and long to persuade punters to take foolish home run swings when really it is a bet to be avoided.

5. NBA Futures Betting

Wondering what a futures bet is? Simply look at the name itself. You are betting on an outcome that’s going to happen further in the future than today’s game.

While this form of prop bet is generally done before the start of a season, when oddsmakers will make predictions for how teams will do by the end of the year, you can also bet on futures as the season is playing out.

NBA futures bets also pose questions regarding individual player performances, such as who will win NBA MVP, NBA Rookie of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year, etc.

Futures bets can be posed as Over/Under lines. For example:

• Washington Wizards regular season wins 45.5: Over +125 | Under -175

• Bets on Over win if the Wizards get 46 or more wins. Under wins with 45 or fewer wins

Futures bets can be posed as Yes/No questions with specified odds. Quite similar to prediction markets. For example:

Team to make the playoffs:

• Atlanta Hawks: Yes +1450 | No -9500

• Brooklyn Nets: Yes -180 | No +130

• Boston Celtics: Yes -450 | No +275

Futures bets can also be posed as straight selection bets. For example:

NBA Regular Season MVP

• Lebron James: +220

• Giannis Antetokounmpo: +420

• Kawhi Leonard: +445

Futures bets are long-term bets where you place a wager on what you predict will happen later on in the season. They can be lots of fun and give you something to pay close attention to all season long. Best of all, the odds are usually really long so if you get lucky and win it means a big payday.

6. NBA Parlay Betting

Parlay betting on NBA basketball is when you combine two or more bets into one ticket. This type of betting is a way to keep your costs down while amplifying your potential payouts. That being said, you are also increasing your risk because if any part of your bet turns out to be wrong, the whole parlay loses.

As a basic guideline, if all the games you bet on are equal likelihood (ie point spread or Over/Under -110 bets), these are the odds most sites would pay for a winning parlay ticket:

• 2 Teams – 2/1

• 3 Teams – 6/1

• 4 Teams – 10/1

• 5 Teams – 27/1

• 6 Teams – 40/1

• 7 Teams – 75/1

• 8 Teams – 150/1

• 9 Teams – 300/1

• 10 Teams – 750/1

• 11 Teams – 1,100/1

• 12 Teams – 1,800/1

You can combine most wagers into an NBA parlay ticket unless the bets are correlated. A correlated bet is when one outcome is directly connected to a subsequent outcome. An example would be a halftime point total score with a full game point total score in the same game.

Sometimes, when an opportunity presents itself, it is possible to hedge a bet to guarantee a win but reduce the possible max payout.

For example, if two-thirds of a ticket is correct with the last game playing out at a later time, you can bet against the last game on your ticket, such that you guarantee a smaller payout no matter which team wins.

7. NBA Round Robin Betting

There is a way to mitigate the risk of a parlay bet, called round robin betting, but it costs a bit more. The math of it might seem complicated at first, but we assure you it isn’t as complicated as it seems.

An NBA round robin bet is when you have a parlay ticket with 3 or more teams, and you pay to break down the parlay into smaller parlays with the same teams. Essentially, you have the same teams selected, except now, since they are divided into separate smaller parlay tickets, you can afford to have some part of the ticket be incorrect.

Some key features to keep in mind:

• As mentioned above in the NBA Parlay Betting section, any wagers can be combined so long as they are not correlated. These bets include moneyline odds, point spreads, Over/Unders, futures bets, and some prop bets.

• The bigger your parlay gets, the more combinations of parlays you’ll have to pay for. Since you have to bet on each combination separately, this can get expensive in a hurry, but you are reducing your risk.

• You can still win big if everything hits, but your cost to wager is going to be higher. That extra cost affords you some insurance because if you just miss a small piece (one game, possibly more on a really large round robin), you get money back on that ticket.

Examples

Let’s view two examples. A 3-bet parlay and a 4-bet parlay after they’ve been separated into a round robin ticket.

• 3-Bet Round Robin Ticket – Bulls cover spread, Raptors moneyline, Heat/Jazz Over

A normal parlay requires all three games to be correct. This would be one ticket for one price.

Purchasing this parlay as a round robin ticket separates the bets into smaller parlays and requires only two out of three games to be correct to win. There are three possible outcomes and so you must pay for all three wagers separately. The ticket now has three possibilities and to win and they are:

• Combination 1: Bulls cover spread, Raptors moneyline

• Combination 2: Bulls cover spread, Heat/Jazz Over

• Combination 3: Raptors moneyline, Heat/Jazz Over

If all three of your games hit, you will win all three combinations. If one of the three games is off but you hit the other two, you will see that one of those three combos will be a winning ticket. So you will win some money back.

Now let’s look at how many tickets you need to buy for a 4-game round robin.

• 4-game round robin: Cavs moneyline, Suns moneyline, Kings cover spread, Lebron prop bet

The math gets a bit more complex now, but the idea is the same. Firs,t the parlays separate into groups of 3 (four total parlays of 3) and then into groups of 2 (six total parlays of 2).

There are four ways to separate these games into groups of 3:

• Combination 1 (3 of 4 correct): Cavs moneyline, Suns moneyline, Kings cover spread

• Combination 2 (3 of 4 correct): Cavs moneyline, Suns moneyline, LeBron prop bet

• Combination 3 (3 of 4 correct): Cavs moneyline, Kings cover spread, LeBron, prop bet

• Combination 4 (3 of 4 correct): Suns moneyline, Kings cover spread, LeBron prop bet

There are six ways to separate these games into groups of 2:

• Combination 5 (2 of 4 correct): Cavs moneyline, Suns moneyline

• Combination 6 (2 of 4 correct): Cavs moneyline, Kings cover spread

• Combination 7 (2 of 4 correct): Cavs moneyline, LeBron prop bet

• Combination 8 (2 of 4 correct): Suns moneyline, Kings cover spread

• Combination 9 (2 of 4 correct): Suns moneyline, LeBron prop bet

• Combination 10 (2 of 4 correct): Kings cover spread, LeBron prop bet

As you can see, a round robin NBA bet for 4 bets comes out to ten different combinations. Each of which you must pay for.

The sportsbook will give you a choice.

• Bet all ten combinations.

• Bet just the groups of three (4 total bets)

• Bet just the groups of two (6 total bets)

Round robin betting can get expensive, but at the same time, it can still pay out big if you get everything correct. Essentially, you are paying more to moderate your risk as little or as much as you choose.

Remember, the round robin bets shown in these examples do not include the original parlay where every pick is correct. You may wish to include that in your purchasing total because if you get every bet correct, you will win the huge parlay PLUS all of the round robin tickets.

Generally speaking, the largest round robin wagers a book will allow is 8, with parlay groups of 6 bets as the maximum.

In case you are wondering how many permutations there are for tickets that large, we’ve made a list for you.

• 3 teams – 3 max round robin tickets (all groups of 2)

• 4 teams – 10 max round robin tickets (groups of 2 and 3)

• 5 teams – 25 max round robin tickets (groups of 2,3, and 4)

• 6 teams – 56 max round robin tickets (groups of 2,3,4, and 5)

• 7 teams – 119 max round robin tickets (groups of 2,3,4,5, and 6)

• 8 teams – 238 max round robin tickets (groups of 2,3,4,5, and 6)

NBA Betting Rules for Overtime

NBA games never end in a tie. This means that your moneyline and point spread bets include overtime.

The only time overtime will not count is when you place an Over/Under bet that is specific to the second half of a game or the fourth quarter, unless otherwise stated by the sportsbook.

• For example, if you wager that the second half will be Over 95.5 total points (just in the second half) and the game goes to overtime with 95 or fewer points scored in the 3rd and 4th quarter, then the wager is a loss. You cannot add points scored in the extra time.

Another instance where overtime is not included is on special Double Result bets, which are wagers which predict both the leader at halftime and the winner at full time.

Make special note that there are sportsbooks that have 3-way bets for basketball, which means they include a draw/tie/push as a betting option. In such cases, if the game is tied after 48 minutes, it is considered a draw and whatever happens in overtime is irrelevant to the 3-way bet.

How Does Live NBA Betting Work?

Betting on NBA games isn’t limited to just wagering before the game starts. You can make bets during the game in a wagering format called live betting, also called in-game or in-running betting.

The way live NBA betting works is simple. A sportsbook will adjust the lines in accordance with how the game has been developing, and as fast as they can post them, punters can bet on them. It is vital to follow the ebbs and flows of a game if you want to make wagers on the fly.

One of the most interesting aspects of live betting is that oddsmakers have less time to research and make accurate estimations. Since they are more rushed, they are more likely to make errors in judgement. Bets with added value can be found with a sharp eye.

There are a few important factors to consider if you want to bet while the game is live:

• Know what the lines were before the game began. This will give you a better understanding of how the oddsmakers think the game story is panning out. If you have a different take on the game’s development, perhaps you can beat them to the punch and get good value.

• How much time is left in the game, and how much has the line moved?

• Have there been any key injuries?

• Did either team have a surprising start?

• Is either team in early foul trouble?

• Are any key players in foul trouble?

Examples of the Best NBA Bets

There are three main kinds of NBA bets: moneyline, point spread, and Over/Under point totals bets. Let’s look at examples of each to make sure the concepts are really clear.

New York Knicks Money line (+300) | Point spread +9.5 (-110) | Over 202.5 (-110)

Philadelphia 76ers Money line (-460) | Point spread -9.5 (-110) | Under 202.5 (-110)

#1 Moneyline Bets

Moneyline Bets are wagers where your only concern is who wins the game. It doesn’t matter for your bet whether they win by a lot or how many total points are scored. Using what we learned earlier about American odds we know that If you bett $100 on the underdog Knicks and they won, you would make a $300 profit. If you bet $460 on the 76ers to win and you were right, you’d make $100 profit.

#2 Point Spread Bets

Point spread bets require the team you wager on to either win by at least a certain margin or lose by less than that specific margin. A $110 bet on the favorite would win $100 profit if they win by at 10 points or more. A $110 bet on the underdog would win $100 profit if they lose by less than 10 or win the game outright.

#3 Over/Under Bets

Over/Under (point total) bets are only concerned with the total points scored in a game. A $110 bet on the Over would make $100 profit if the total points scored were more than 202. A $110 bet on the Under would win $100 profit if the combined score was less than 203.

#4 Parlay Bets

Combining bets into single tickets is called parlay betting. The above-listed bets can also be made during games, which is called Live Betting or In-game Betting.

Other varieties of bets are also available for NBA games. There are short and long-term prop bets. The longer-term ones usually last an entire season or an entire season plus playoffs. These longer prop bets are called futures bets.

Best NBA Betting Strategies

To be a winning NBA bettor in the short and long term requires a sound plan and solid strategy. As we’ve seen, there are multiple varieties of wagers that can be applied to NBA betting.

If you want to have success, the best course of action is to find which one most suits your style. If you’re not sure, consider the following list to help you find your niche.

• Are you looking for longer odds or prefer a slower grind relying on moneyline favorites? A more conservative approach of researching more and betting less, while not as sexy a choice, could be a smart way to build up your bankroll.

• Do you follow any particular teams or players on a nightly basis? The closer you follow a specific team or player, the more likely you are to predict their performance. A word of caution, if you find you are betting more with your heart than your brain, you may want to slow down and look elsewhere.

• How well do you know the coach’s tendencies? This is especially important for Over/Under bets in games that are close in the final minutes. Some coaches will deliberately foul endlessly so as to stop the clock and regain possession even if the outcome seems out of reach in the dying seconds. This can lead to many extra late-game points that can win or ruin your chances at a profit.

• One way to combat that last point is by only betting totals for the first quarter or first half, since coaches won’t deliberately waste fouls with a full half remaining to play.

• Monitor which coaches go to their bench sooner and how that team’s bench tends to play compared to the starters.

Early-season prop bets can hold a lot of value because oddsmakers are more in the dark than at any other point in the season. They have to guess more, and as such their lines have a tendency to be looser. This is an opportunity to outsmart them or just get lucky.

Follow statistics such as possessions per game and offensive rebounding. Logically, teams with extra chances to score per night are going to outscore their opponents and potentially cover the spread.

This also factors into totals betting. Certain teams play defensively and slow the pace. Others will run all game and shoot early in the shot clock.

How to Use NBA Sports Databases

Sports databases and stats sites are a great resource for researching your bets. They make historical NBA data searchable, and by understanding past trends, you can better predict future outcomes.

Using NBA databases and constructing your own hypothesis (explained below) in search of trends can work to your advantage. If you aren’t familiar with how to use these, you can also visit NBA forums and peruse the gambling sub-forums.

Here are some examples of valuable trends to understand:

• Betting on the road underdog with a 10-point or less point spread in games where the home favorite is coming off a win of 15 points or more has a 57.5% win rate over 7+ seasons of data.

• On the contrary, pay close attention to good teams who lose badly (15 points or more). They are 64% against the spread when they are the road favorite in the following game (since 2006).

• Betting the Over on non-conference matchups with a line of 220 or higher. Was working on a 63.5% pace over six seasons of data.

• After at least a quarter of the games have been played, when fatigue starts to set in, look for teams on two or more days rest to cover the spread against teams on the second night of a back-to-back. Also, with fatigue in play, bet against teams playing their 4th game in 5 nights.

• Home underdogs of 10 points or more have done very well covering the spread since 1995. They are 134-96-2 for an impressive 58% success rate.

NBA Playoff Betting Bracket

The long NBA regular season has a special treat awaiting punters at the end of the marathon, and it’s pointedly called NBA playoff bracket betting. It’s one of the most exciting times of the year and coincides with the intensity of all the games ramping up.

With playoff bracket betting, your goal is to pick the winner of each first-round series and then all subsequent series in each round.

Since the playoffs structure is split into conferences and ordered by seeding, we can determine what the second, third, and final round matchups will be if your picks are correct each way.

The rules are simple.

1. Select a winner for each of the first four rounds. Then, take all of the teams you chose to win and enter them into the second round. If you are filling out an online bracket the website will most likely do this for you.

2. Continue selecting teams the same way through each remaining round.

3. Eventually, you will be left with two teams in the NBA finals, one from the Western Conference and one from the Eastern Conference.

4. Some slightly more sophisticated brackets will ask you to predict how many games each series will take to complete. Since all series are best of 7, your choice is any number from 4 to 7.

5. The winner is determined by scoring the brackets. Each one is graded with points for correctly predicting the outcome of each series in every round.

Sometimes people employ the strategy of simply picking the higher seed in each round. With 1 seeds against 8 seeds, and most 2 seeds against 7 seeds, this is generally a prudent strategy, statistically.

However, after the first round, you’re better off mixing up your selections because the teams tend to match up more evenly, and you also want to differentiate your bracket from other people’s brackets.

NBA Draft Betting

Another fun proposition bet that is getting more and more advanced by the year is NBA draft betting, where punters can place wagers on where they expect the upcoming draft class of collegiate athletes to be chosen.

These prop bets can be offered in a number of ways, and the best part is that it happens during the summer off-season when the desire to scratch one’s basketball gambling itch is bigger than ever.

Here is a list of the most common forms of bets you’ll find leading up to the NBA draft.

• Straight moneyline wagers on who will be taken first overall. In most cases, it can come down to a few star players, but every so often, there is a generational talent who is by far and away the class of the show and will undoubtedly go first overall. The odds will reflect this clearly. In some cases, like when Lebron James was taken first overall as a high school graduate, most of the interesting betting lines would have been regarding who would be picked second overall rather than first.

• “Higher Than” bets are wagers where a sportsbook will list two players and pose a question asking which one will be selected first between the two.

• The same sort of wager can be posed in a different way whereby the line will ask will a specific player go higher/lower than a certain draft number. This is an Over/Under bet. If you think he will be chosen sooner than a specific spot, you must bet the Under. If you think he will go later, you bet the Over.

• There will be questions specific to position. For instance, “How many point guards will be taken in the top 10?” Again, this will be an Over/Under wager.

• You may find questions pertaining to the school or conference these athletes played in during University such as “How many players in the first round will be taken from Duke?” or “How many ACC athletes will be drafted in the first round”?

No matter how the questions are posed, your job is to make an informed decision and get good value.

The draft is interesting because it has the potential to go much differently than expected, especially if General Managers that day are feeling extra frisky and decide to make some bold trades. As such, it is important as a bettor to think ahead of the game.

Ask yourself what you think each franchise is looking for and what their team needs are.

If a team already has a star at the centre position signed to a long-term deal and their draft position has them sitting in a spot where the next best player available is a centre, they may be interested in trading their pick for another team’s considerations who are more desperate to draft that player.

Unlike some other sports like baseball or hockey, drafted NBA players are often used right away in an important role for their team, so these decisions depend on fixing the team immediately, especially for early first-round draft picks.

Keep that in mind when you’re stepping up to the podium and making your own picks.

Why Are Key Numbers So Important in NBA Betting?

Key numbers in sports betting are the numbers that account for the most common margins of victory and other outcomes.

In a high-scoring sport like basketball, where points are scored in two-point field goals, three-pointers, and single free-throw points, the range for margin of victory over several years of data shows an unsurprisingly statistically tight group of numbers between 1 and 12.

Here are the key numbers represented in a table from most likely to least:

Historically, the most common margin of victory has been 7 points, followed by 5, 6, 8 and down the list. However, looking at the percentages, it is clear that the differences are quite small in terms of percentage. This is what makes betting on point spreads so challenging, especially when we think of how unpredictable the scoring at the ends of games can be.

One thing a savvy gambler can do to find an edge in determining the likelihood of these key numbers hitting (or exceeding/matching your betting expectation) is to study the tendencies of the coaches in late game scenarios.

For example, you want to study how the coach, over a significant sample size of games, deals with his team trailing late in games. Does his strategy change depending on the deficit and time remaining? Will he continue to foul the opposition if his team is down by 6 with 10 seconds to go? What about 7 or 8 points? Does it depend on who they are playing and what players are on the floor?

In recent years, we’ve even seen coaches deliberately foul one player, particularly inept at free-throw shooting, for most of an entire quarter just to slow the pace of the game down, and hope to recover the rebound on his presumed missed second shot. We saw this with the now-famous “Hack-a-Shaq” strategy and more recently with Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan on their respective teams.

If you learn the tendencies of the coaches around the league, you can more accurately predict what will happen in the late stages of a game, and that has huge implications for the point spread and the point total.

Betting on the NBA Conclusion

With the basics and strategies covered, you're now ready to dive into NBA betting confidently. Keep these tips in mind, and stay informed to maximize your chances of success.
