No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you, FanDuel sportsbook is offering all new bettors who sign up using a FanDuel account the chance to win up to $1,000 in prizes through their “no-sweat first bet” welcome bonus ahead of these Friday NBA games on ESPN.
Everything that you need to know about the offer, including simple steps to claim it, can be found below.
Signing up with a FanDuel promo code is as easy as one, two, three. All that you need to do is follow five simple steps.
Once you have completed all five, you will be enrolled in FanDuel’s $1,000 offer—more on that in a moment.
Here are the steps to claim the offer:
Bettors can place their “no-sweat first bet” in any market on the FanDuel sportsbook to trigger the promotion.
FanDuel is the leader in American sports betting. It offers dynamic web and mobile apps, 24/7 customer service, and an array of enticing betting lines.
This is a great time to create a FanDuel account using our FanDuel promo code to get some practice and experience before the NBA playoffs start. Once that time comes, even more betting opportunities and promotions will come available, which is worth sticking around for.
Customers must be 21 or older and in a state where the welcome bonus is active and may not already have a FanDuel account. If any of these criteria are not met, they will be unable to claim the offer.
The FanDuel no-sweat first bet applies insurance to customers’ first bet. If that bet misses, 100% refunds up to $1,000 in the form of bonus bets are returned to users’ accounts, giving them the same betting power they started with despite the loss.
So, if you place a losing $400 wager with your first bet, you will be given $400 worth of bonus bets. This offer does not need to be maxed out to be activated but is only available during the first bet.
Bonus bets earned through the offer show up within 72 hours and have 14 days to be used before they expire. Full terms and conditions apply and can be found on the FanDuel sportsbook.
The Brooklyn Nets head into TD Garden on the back of four straight losses, all to Eastern Conference opponents. Their once championship-or-bust team with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving has been replaced by a slew of role players and a surplus of wings that have talent as pieces but are struggling to function as presently constructed.
The Celtics got back to winning ways their last time out but only narrowly staved off a comeback against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Jayson Tatum shone as Jaylen Brown returned from personal issues giving the Celtics the boost they needed.
The obvious pick to win Friday’s game will be the Celtics. Looking a level further at potential player prop picks, Cameron Johnson is shooting eight three-pointers per game since arriving in Brooklyn in the Durant trade. That is over two more three-point attempts per game than his previous career-high he set with the Phoenix Suns, so betting on him to hit three or four-plus triples could be a worthy investment.
After that game wraps up, the Grizzlies will head to mile-high to take on the Nuggets. These teams have the top two seeds in the Western Conference seemingly on lock, yet neither is viewed as a true powerhouse because of their lack of postseason success.
The Grizzlies are relatively poor on offense for such a winning team and have been flat-out bad on the road, losing 18 of their 30 games away from FedEx Forum. The Nuggets, on the other hand, have been sensational at home, winning 28 of a possible 32 largely behind the efforts of MVP favorite Nikola Jokic.
Jokic had a fairly easy night his last time out against the Houston Rockets as Jamal Murray dominated the proceedings (he still finished with a triple-double). Watch for him to step back into the spotlight against a solid defensive team and to advantage of Memphis center Stephen Adams’ injury-induced absence. Betting the over on Jokic’s points+assists+rebounds total is a strong play.
