How to bet on the NBA basketball
You can actually bet on the NBA in a number of different ways and most major bookmakers will offer a number of NBA betting lines and markets to play throughout the season.
Naturally, one of the most popular wagers is the match result bet which essentially sees you place a bet on the team you think will win the match.
But there are plenty more ways to back a winner though. Read here our how to bet on NBA guide!
How To Read Our Free NBA Picks
There are a lot of betting markets available on every game but our tipsters are focusing on the match winner (also called Money Line) or match handicap markets, since other markets such as points spread, total points, etc.. are very tricky.
As a result, you will see the following possible picks:
1 if we predict that the home team wins the match
2 if we predict that the away team wins the match
Furthermore, you could see an amount of points of handicap attached to a team. The handicap points (displayed as either + or – a value, such as +11.5 points) is factored into the final score to determine the game’s outcome for the purpose of the bet.
NBA Betting Strategy
With an 82-game season and the playoffs, the NBA gives punters a great opportunity to place bets. Anyway, the NBA is a very hard to predict league as there a lot of factors to taking into account for each NBA game such as:
FatigueTeams often play 3-4 games per week - with plenty of contests taking place on back-to-back nights. Well rested teams have a real advantage on teams who play two straight games or are playing their 3rd game in 5 days
Injuries and Team NewsThe absence of major players in the starting lineup is one of the key factors that could influence the odds and the outcome of a game.
MotivationSome teams know very quickly that they will fail to qualify for the play-offs. The more they lose, the greater the chance of getting a good draft number for next season. This is the reason why some team can deliberately lose matches in the 2nd half of the season.
NBA Power RankingsNBA Power Rankings are a large collection of offensive and defensive stats for each NBA team. Eg. Shooting percentage, Rebounds per game, Steals per game, Points scored per game, Points conceded per game, etc..
Home and Away FormMany teams have a strong home court record but they are very poor on the travels.
An algorithm devoleped by our tipsters, plus human experience and betting talent, is the basis to our winning NBA tips. This is why our picks have a winning rate of over 69% throughout the NBA season!
Another good strategy on the NBA play-offs is the NBA Zig-Zag Theory.

As a result of the trade, Jrue Holiday finished to the Boston Celtics, improving a team that was just one game away from making it to the NBA Finals for a second-consecutive year.
With its core of Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon, the Nuggets will once again be among the title favorites, as well as the Phoenix Suns (who added Bradley Beal) and the Golden State Warriors (who added Chris Paul).
