NBA odds are available at the BetMGM online sportsbook year-round. Futures, moneylines, and live betting are accessible at the online sportsbook.
Whether looking for basketball odds on tonight’s games or evaluating the awards markets, you can find various wagering options at BetMGM.
NBA Spreads
NBA spreads show which team is favoured and by how many points.
Favourites are displayed with a minus symbol and a number. The underdog is “given” points, which means they have a plus symbol.
For example, the Toronto Raptors could be -3.5 against the Boston Celtics. This means the Raptors are 3.5-point favourites and must win by four or more points for the bet to win.
In this instance, the Celtics could lose by three points or fewer, and the bet would win. A wager on the Celtics would also pay out if they won outright.
NBA Moneylines
NBA moneylines are one of the most common wagers.
A moneyline bet is a wager on which team will win a game. The total number of points scored, and the margin of victory does not impact the wager.
Favourites will have shorter odds than the underdog on the moneyline.
If the Los Angeles Lakers are favoured over the Golden State Warriors, for example, the Lakers could be priced at -145 to win.
A $10 bet on the Lakers would return $16.90. If the Warriors were +125 as underdogs, a $10 wager would have a potential payout of $22.50.
NBA Totals
NBA totals are a market focused on the total number of points scored in the game. This market combines the points scored by both teams.
The BetMGM online sportsbook will set a “line.” Bettors then wager on whether there will be over or under this number of points.
As an example, if the line is set at 230.5, then a bet on the under would win if the teams combined for 230 or fewer points.
An over bet would win if there were a total of 231 total points or more.
National Basketball Association Prop Bets
NBA prop bets is a category which covers game props, team props, and player props.
Game props are wide-ranging.
Team props include which team will win the first quarter or the exact margin of victory.
Player props cover a raft of statistical categories, including over/unders for points, rebounds, assists, and made threes.
NBA Parlays
Bettors can build NBA parlays at the BetMGM sportsbook. A parlay is multiple selections combined into one wager.
Parlays often have long odds as the price will increase with each selection added to the bet slip. Every pick needs to land for the parlay to cash.
Bettors can craft their unique wager with parlays. This can mean picking a variety of markets across different games, like mixing up teams to cover the spread with player props and totals.
NBA Live Betting
Placing live bets is a popular way to engage with NBA betting. Live betting is when bets are placed once a game is underway.
There is a range of markets available to bet in-play. Odds will be updated throughout the game, so the moneyline, total, and spread move significantly after tipoff.
National Basketball Association Futures Betting
Futures betting on the National Basketball Association covers NBA championship odds, win totals, and player awards.
NBA Finals odds are available at the BetMGM online sportsbook year-round, with odds for the following season going live immediately once the Finals conclude.
MVP, Rookie of the Year, Most Improved Player, and Defensive Player of the Year are four main awards markets.
Bettors can also wager on which team will win each division and on specific team futures bets.
