NBA Odds

Get the latest NBA odds at Sportzino, where you can find the most up-to-date odds for every matchup throughout the season. Whether you’re tracking moneylines, spreads, or totals, our platform provides comprehensive odds to help you make informed predictions. 

The Basics of NBA Odds

NBA odds are like the backbone of basketball predictions. They tell you how likely something will happen in a game and the number of coins you may win if your forecast is correct. We serve up odds for everything, from who will win the game outright to how many points a team can score. You’ll also find the best WNBA odds on our platform. 

How to Read NBA Odds?

Understanding these lines is not as complicated as it may seem. There are three main display formats for odds: American, Decimal, and Fractional. At Sportzino, we use the standard American format, which is the easiest to understand. Here’s how it works:

Let's say you see:

• Lakers +150,
• Celtics -180.

The plus sign means underdog, and the minus means favorite. If you back the Lakers and they pull off the upset, a 100-coin prediction could win you 150 coins. On the other hand, if you’re rooting for the Celtics, you'd need to put up 180 coins to win 100.

What's the Difference Between NBA Odds vs NBA Futures Odds?

Regular lines for NBA games are for short-term events. On the other hand, futures odds are when you're playing the long game. We're talking season-long predictions like who will take home the championship, MVP honors, or which rookie will make the most splash.

Futures odds often offer juicy prizes, especially when you make the correct picks long before the event starts. The catch is that you must wait for the season to end before getting your award. 

How Do NBA Odds Work?

Our social sportsbook operates on the sweepstakes model. As such, you get two coin types that you can use on the NBA and college football odds, among other sports. One of these is Gold Coins, which are virtual currencies that you can only use for playing and predicting for fun. Then there’s Sweeps Coins, the more valuable of the two. Sweeps Coins are the virtual currencies you can exchange for gifts from our platform.

We offer both coins free of charge. You can always purchase Gold Coins and receive Sweeps Coins as a bonus, but this is entirely optional. Once you’ve accumulated enough Sweeps Coins from your successful NBA forecasts, you exchange them by visiting the redemption page and following the prompts. 

Moneylines/Outrights

These are just as simple as they sound; you predict which of the two teams will win. No need to worry about points or spreads — just pick the outright winner, and you're set. 

NBA Spreads

With spreads, you’re not just predicting who will win but by how much. The favorite needs to win by more than the spread, while the underdog can either win outright or lose by less than the spread for a successful prediction. Consider the following game: 

• NY Knicks +5.5 (-110),
• BOS Celtics -5.5 (-110).

Here, the Celtics need to win by more than 5.5 points for a prediction on them to pay off. If you want to cover the Knicks, you win if the team loses by five or fewer (or wins outright).

Over/Under (Totals) Odds

This is the best market to opt for if you’re unsure about the winning team. With over/under odds, you're predicting the combined total points scored by both teams. For instance: 

• The line is set at 220.5,
• You pick “over” if you think the final score will be over this number,
• You select “under” if you think the total points will be less than 220.5.

The Best NBA Outcome Strategies

Whether you’re selecting NBA or NCAAB women odds, these tips can help you make better prepared: 

• Analyze team statistics: Focus on essential metrics like offensive/defensive ratings, shooting percentages, and the individual players in each team.
• Evaluate recent form: Look at teams' and players' performances over the last 5-10 games to see how well they've held their position. 
• Consider player form: Injuries to star players can significantly impact a team's performance.
• Assess head-to-head history: Some teams consistently struggle against certain opponents. So, always evaluate a team’s history with their opponents to determine how a game might end.
