What is the NBA?

For the uninitiated, we'll quickly go over what exactly the NBA is. Don't worry! We'll keep it short and sweet so you can still enjoy the action.

The NBA (National Basketball Association) is the premier professional basketball league in the United States, featuring 30 teams divided into two conferences: Eastern and Western. It's popular with millions of fans worldwide for the thrilling on-court action, global stars like LeBron James and Stephen Curry, and high-level competition, lending itself to the sports betting scene.

The NBA typically follows this yearly format:

• Regular Season (October–April): Each team plays 82 games to determine standings and playoff seeding.
• Play-In Tournament (April): Teams ranked 7th-10th in each conference compete for the final playoff spots.
• Playoffs (April–June): A best-of-seven elimination tournament featuring 16 teams (8 per conference).
• NBA Finals (June): The conference champions face off to crown the NBA champion of the year.

This unique competition structure guarantees ample betting opportunities throughout the season and even in the offseason, meaning the NBA basketball betting action never stops.

Understanding NBA Bet Types

We're true basketball fans at heart, and we know that each individual league has its own value, but the NBA emerges as the largest and most popular basketball league in the world with hundreds of potential outcomes.

The odds in NBA indicate the likelihood of various outcomes, including the outright winner of the NBA championship, the final outcome of a specific match, how many points will be scored, first basket, division winners, and even individual player performance.

If you're new to NBA betting lines, you should first understand which types are available in this sport. Let's look at the bet types available and see what they mean.

NBA Moneyline

An NBA moneyline bet requires the bettor to select the outright winner of a particular matchup without any point spread involved. Almost every game has an underdog and a favorite. The latter is the team expected to win the match, while the underdog team is expected to lose.

You can tell which team is the favorite and the underdog by their odds, depending on which odds format you've selected.

At Rivalry, we offer the following odds formats for moneyline betting at the bottom of the odds page. You can also check out this guide to find out how to read NBA odds correctly.

• American Odds: These odds are displayed with a plus and minus sign. The favorite is indicated by a minus sign (-), while the underdog will have a plus sign (+).
• Decimal Odds (European, Hong Kong, Indonesian, Malaysian): These are displayed as decimal points, representing the total payout for a winning bet. The favorite will have a lower number, hovering around 1, while the underdog will be a much higher number.
• Fractional Odds: These NBA odds are reflected as fractions, with the smaller number meaning a higher likelihood of that outcome occurring. The favorite will be higher, like 1/2, whereas the underdog team will be lower, like 10/1.

NBA Prop Bets

An NBA proposition bet, otherwise known as props or prop bets, is about specific events in the game, typically with nothing to do with the final result. There are three types of proposition bets: player props, team props, and game props, perfect for fans who follow their favorite players' every move or bleed team colors.

Player props let you bet on your favorite NBA players, including LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Jayson Tatum, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis, Nikola Jokić or Jimmy Butler.

Team props are similar. You place bets on your favorite teams, like LA Lakers, Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Boston Celtics, and so on.

NBA Point Spreads

What is the point spread? The point spread is a handicap given by sportsbooks or oddsmakers to even up the playing field between two teams. It's sometimes also referred to as the margin of victory bet and involves betting on which team will win or lose by a specific number of points.

To cover a point spread, the selected team must beat the point spread. For example, if the Golden State Warriors win over the Chicago Bulls by five or more points, it "covers the spread." This results in a winning wager. If the Golden State Warriors lose by four or fewer points, the Bulls cover the point spread.

NBA Futures

NBA futures bets are exactly what they sound like: it involves predicting an outcome in advance, typically moneylines. Examples of futures bets in the NBA include betting on a specific team to win their conference or even NBA Playoffs and NBA Finals betting with the outright winner of the season, offering incredible futures odds.

NBA future bets typically have high payouts with the best NBA odds, as they're hard to calculate since basketball can be so unpredictable.

NBA Parlays

An NBA parlay bet lets you place multiple bets in a single bet slip at the same time, increasing their payouts. This means big $$$ if you manage to get these right at a relatively low stake. However, it's risky. If you miss even one bet, your entire bet will be forfeited and lost. You can correctly guess four out of five outcomes, and you'll still lose.

However, if you want to go balls to wall you can expect larger payouts and more money if you win, thanks to our impressive NBA futures odds.

NBA Overs/Unders

Overs/Unders, or NBA Totals, are another common NBA bet seen with most popular NBA betting sites. Betting Over/Under can mean deciding if both teams reach a combined score that aligns with the total assigned by the bookmakers. The winner or loser of the game is irrelevant with this betting line. The sports bettors should only be concerned with the combined points scored in total.

NBA Live Betting

Live bets are arguably the NBA best bets you can place, as you can watch the action unfold in real-time, with odds remaining current and accurate to what's happening in the NBA game right this second. It's always easier to predict what'll happen in the game while you're watching than to predict who will win before the game starts.

Live betting can also be on Moneyline bets, Point Spreads, Over/Unders, props, etc. In other words, live betting includes every single type of betting; the only difference is that it is placed after the game starts.

Be careful, as NBA odds on live matches constantly change, and you'll need to react fast to claim the best odds while they're still available. All you need to get involved in live NBA betting is a stable internet connection and an existing Rivalry account, ezpz.

NBA Betting Tips

Betting on NBA games can be exciting yet overwhelming, especially if for the average sports bettor. Not to worry! We'll break down our best NBA betting advice so you can start winning big alongside your favorite players.

Do Your Homework

It may sound boring, but approaching NBA sports betting with a strategic mindset is critical, even for the most seasoned bettors. Doing appropriate research into relevant factors like team performance, recent form, head-to-head records, specific player stats, and recent injuries can be the difference between scoring a win or going home with nothing. You can use analytics tools and news pages to stay updated with all the latest happenings in the NBA scene and find NBA betting expert picks.

Look For Hidden Value

It's tempting, but avoid going straight for your favorite team or player, especially if they're super popular, like the LA Lakers or Steph Curry. Emotions can cloud your judgment and result in losing money. Instead, search for value in less-hyped match-ups, which could be hiding the best odds. Who knows, you could score a huge potential payout if you correctly predict the outcome like who will win outright.

Manage Your Bankroll

Responsible gambling is the cornerstone of all NBA betting sites, prioritizing player safety. As such, you should always carefully manage your betting budget and only gamble with disposable income—never with funds needed for essentials like rent, bills, or food. Rivalry provides responsible gambling resources and tools, so you can set deposit limits, loss limits, or freeze your account.
