About our NBA odds & lines: futures also available
Above, our odds data feed is configured to display the highest odds for the most popular betting markets for each NBA game. This is why you may observe slight variances in handicap lines associated with the odds. The sportsbook with the highest odds for one side of a given bet will not usually also have the highest odds on the other side of that bet. This explains why the point spread or total points lines may not perfectly match if you notice a disparity.
These NBA odds originate from different top-tier providers that serve New Zealand, all offering NZD accounts. Thus, these odds will generally appear more favorable compared to any individual betting provider. If you simply want to place an NBA wager, you only require a single betting account. However, if you aim to secure the best price on your bets to maximize your potential returns, you might consider having accounts with several operators and spending some time on NBA odds comparison. We also offer NBA Championship odds for you, if interested in the primary futures betting market, which focuses on the "outright winner".
Moneyline Betting in the NBA:
In NBA Moneyline betting, you wager on the outright winner of a game without considering the point spread. The odds for Moneyline bets are presented in decimal format. Here's an example:
Los Angeles Lakers: 1.50
Brooklyn Nets: 2.80
If you bet 100 units on the Los Angeles Lakers at odds of 1.50 and they win the game, you would receive a total payout of 150 units (including your initial stake). On the other hand, a 100-unit bet on the Brooklyn Nets at odds of 2.80 would result in a total payout of 280 units if they win.
Point Spread Betting in the NBA:
In NBA Point Spread betting, a point spread or handicap is given to each team to create a more balanced betting market. The odds for Point Spread bets are also displayed in decimal format. Here's an example:
Los Angeles Lakers -6.5: 1.90
Brooklyn Nets +6.5: 1.90
If you bet on the Los Angeles Lakers at -6.5 points and they win by 7 or more points, your bet would be successful with a payout of 190 units for a 100-unit wager. Conversely, if you bet on the Brooklyn Nets at +6.5 points, they can either win the game outright or lose by 6 or fewer points for your bet to win.
Total Betting (Over/Under) in the NBA:
In NBA Total betting, also known as the Over/Under, you bet on the combined score of both teams in an NBA game. The sportsbook sets a benchmark number, and you wager on whether the actual score will be over or under that total. The odds for Total bets are presented in decimal format. Here's an example:
Over 215.5: 1.85
Under 215.5: 1.85
If you believe the total score will be higher than 215.5 points, you would bet on the Over. If the actual combined score is 216 points or more, your bet would be successful with a payout of 185 units for a 100-unit wager. Conversely, if you expect a lower-scoring game, you would bet on the Under, hoping for a total score of 215 points or fewer.
