Basketball betting odds are similar to practically every other sport. Here are some key things to know:
Moneylines: bets on the outcome of the game
Point spreads: bets on the margin of victory in a game
Over/unders: bets on the total points scored by the two teams combined
Player props: bets on specific events regarding individual players in a game
Parlays: multiple bets comprising one larger bet
How does the moneyline work in basketball? A moneyline bet in a wager on the result of a game -- moneylines are adjusted for the given favorite/underdog. Here is a moneyline basketball example:
The Cleveland Cavaliers are favorites to beat the Indiana Pacers at home
The Cavaliers are -170 favorites and the Pacers are +160 underdogs
The Cavaliers win --- a $170 wager on the Cavaliers will return $100
A basketball spread is the betting handicap between two teams or the projected score difference. If an NBA team is roughly 5.5 points better than another, they would have a -5.5 NBA point spread against the other on a neutral court. The underdog would have a +5.5 spread.
Basketball picks against the spread are some of the most common basketball bets. Here is an NBA ATS betting (against the spread) betting example:
The Philadelphia 76ers are -6.5 point home favorites against the Phoenix Suns
The 76ers must win by 7 or more points to cover the spread. The Suns can lose by up to 6 points and still cover the spread
Winning/losing a game does not impact the outcome of a spread
CBB ATS spread bets are also highly popular.
Over/unders are one of the fastest-emerging basketball betting trends, with betters loving to ride the “over” and root for points. What is an over/under bet? They are bets on the combined scores of two teams -- the winner of the game has no bearing on the over/under bet. Here’s an example:
The Denver Nuggets are one of the highest-scoring teams in the NBA, especially at home. They are hosting the Washington Wizards one night
The over/under is set at o/u 226.5
The Nuggets win the game 120-105, good for a total of 225. In this instance, the under bet would hit
Basketball live betting is an exciting way to stay involved in the action even after a game has started. Lines are subject to change throughout a contest, depending on who is winning, potential injuries, and more. Here is a college basketball live betting example:
The Iowa women’s basketball team opens as -10 favorites against LSU
LSU storms to a 12-point lead by the end of the first quarter
The line moves to Iowa +2.5, meaning they are now underdogs to win the game
Iowa mount a rally but still lose by a single point
A live bet on Iowa after the first quarter (at +2.5) would hit, However, a -10 spread bet on them before the game would not
Player props (similar to prop bets) are bets based on individual players meeting certain criteria. NBA player props may be based on a player’s total points, rebounds, assists, three-pointers made, and more. Here’s an example of an NBA prop bet:
Denver Nuggets PG Jamal Murray has an over/under of 2.5 made three-pointers
For the over player prop to hit, Murray must make three-pointers
Even if the Denver Nuggets lose the game, the Murray prop will hit as long he make three+ 3-pointers
Basketball parlays are multiple wagers in one larger bet. They can either occur across multiple games or in a single contest (called a same-game parlay). Here’s an example:
The Cleveland Cavaliers are -5.5 home favorites against the Indiana Pacers
The same day, the Philadelphia 76ers are -9.5 home favorites against the Washington Wizards
A bettor places a parlay on the Cavaliers spread and 76ers spread
For the parlay to hit, the Cavaliers must win by 6 and the 76ers by 10
Same-game parlays require multiple bets in the same game to all hit. Those bets can be the moneyline, certain player props, and more. For example, in a college basketball same-game parlay, a bettor can wager on player props for players on both teams -- the outcome of the game does not matter (unless a moneyline is included).
Here’s an example of an NBA same-game parlay:
The Cleveland Cavaliers are -5.5 home favorites against the Indiana Pacers
Cavaliers star G Donovan Mitchell has a points o/u of 29.5
Cavaliers C Jarrett Allen has a rebounds o/u of 11.5
A bettor places a SGP on the Cavs spread, Mitchell points over, and Allen rebounds over
For the bet to hit, the Cavs must win, Mitchell must score 30 or more points, and Allen must grab 12 or more rebounds
Popular basketball bets include moneylines, parlays, spread bets, over/unders, and player props.

NBA betting odds are reflections of how likely a given event is or is not going to happen. NBA odds and NBA betting lines are predictions of what is most likely going to happen. If one team is slightly better than another and is playing at home, they may have a spread of -4.5 -- that means they should reasonably expect to win by 4 or 5 points.
