Nba Point Spread Over Under Rating: 3,9/5 8070 reviews

Add each teams total point value from Column 'P' to determine the suggested over/ under line. Any actual line that falls within 3.5 pints of the suggested line is a 'no play'. Another number that’s posted on the NBA Las Vegas is the total or ‘over/under’ for the specific matchup. If the favorite is designated as the home team, then the total will be listed above and vice versa if the visitors are favorites. All of the above numbers are listed next to the teams, and before each matchup is a Rotation number. The point spread puts the underdog at an advantage by giving it a number of points they can lose by and still “cover the spread”. It also puts the favored team at a disadvantage by giving them a certain margin of points they have to win by to cover the spread. For example, the Philadelphia 76ers matchup with the Chicago Bulls.

Point Spreads & Over Unders for Upcoming NBA Games

This is the page where you can see the latest point spreads, money lines, and totals for all of tonight's games. It's important to compare numbers across different books, because each half point can make the difference between a win and a tie or a push and a loss. Just use the drop down to switch between spreads, totals, and moneylines, or to check out the current odds for other sports. You can also use the state dropdown on the right to filter by the books available in your area!

Money Lines for Tonight & Tomorrow

With money lines you take out the point spread and bet on a team to win straight up. Betting on favorites will cost you more upfront, while betting on underdogs allows you to bet less for a bigger payout. This can be a great option when you think an underdog will win outright, or if you feel confident a favorite will win but might have trouble covering the point spread.

Futures & Odds to Win Divisions, Conferences, and the Finals

Many books also post the odds for each team to win the NBA Finals. These are set at the beginning of the season and then update constantly throughout the season. Futures odds are a great way to interpret just how good a team is performing and if the market thinks that trend will continue.

This page provides all the NBA betting lines for today’s card. It will also show any games that have betting lines published for tomorrow.

The standard view lists the point spread of the favorite and the total for that matchup. You can also note the start time and rotation number so you don’t forget to place your wager before tip-off.

We also list out the games with the money lines and totals so you can see those types of lines easier.

The latest NBA Finals futures and win total over/unders are on this page as well. They are often taken down, so we keep hard copies. That way you can go back and compare which teams’ odds have moved up and down.

Using the NBA Betting Lines to Your Advantage

While the primary focus of this page is to keep you up to date with the point spreads, it’s also a great handicapping tool.

One useful feature is “Bet %.” This tool lets you know what percentage of wagers are being placed on each side of a specific matchup. It’s a great way for getting a feel on where the public money is coming in. Just remember it’s only a percentage of the number of bets, not the amount wagered on each side.

We also provide the opening line for all games, which you can find under the section listed “Opener.” This makes it easy to track line movement and spot reverse line moves (when line moves opposite of Bet %).

Finally, we provide odds from several of the most reputable sportsbooks on the internet. This lets you spot which book is offering the best line or total for the game you are looking to bet. If you aren’t signed up at more than one sportsbook, I recommend doing so.

How to Beat the NBA Point Spreads

Another aspect that this page provides is the “Picks” section. This lists the premium picks available for purchase from one of our top experts on a game.

One of our pro basketball handicappers could have a free selection posted on one of today’s games. Just visit our NBA free pick section to see if there are any available plays published now.

NBA POINT SPREADS EXPLAINED:

The point spread – commonly referred to as “the spread” – is the number assigned by the sportsbooks to represent the point difference between two teams for betting purposes. The goal of the spread is not to project how many points that a certain team is going to win by. Instead, the point spread is meant to create a situation where half the wagers that come in on a game are on one team while the other half are on the other. (This is called “balanced action”).

The team with the negative number is considered the favorite. (Example: -7.5) The team with the positive number is considered the underdog or “dog”. (Example: +7.5)

The team that is the favorite needs to win the game by more than the assigned point spread value in order to cash the ticket. For example, if the Boston Celtics are -3.5 against the New York Knicks they need to win by four or more points to beat the point spread. Conversely, a bettor taking the underdog Knicks in this example needs New York to either win outright or lose by three or fewer points.

NBA MONEYLINE EXPLAINED:

A moneyline wager in an NBA game is a bet on which team will win the game outright, independent of the point spread.

The favorite in a game has a negative moneyline (example: -160). The underdog has a positive moneyline (example: +125). The odds represent the payouts on a $100 wager. So for a favorite at -160 the bettor would wager $160 to win $100. For an underdog at +125 the bettor would wager $100 to win $125.

Again, moneyline bettors are simply trying to pick which team will win the game. The moneyline is the agreed upon payout of the wager.

NBA TOTALS or OVER/UNDER EXPLAINED

NBA totals are a bet on the total combined number of points that both teams will score in a given game.

You can bet totals ‘over’ or ‘under’. If you are betting ‘over’ then you are betting that the combined number of points from the teams will exceed the posted total. If the posted total is 205.5 and you bet ‘over’ then you wagering that 206 or more combined points will be scored. If you are betting ‘under’ 205.5 then you are hoping for 205 or fewer combined points to be scored.

All points scored in overtime count towards the totals wager. If the total number of points scored ends up being exactly the same as the posted total (for instance a 104-100 game with a total of 204.0) it is considered a ‘push’ (a tie) and the bet is refunded.

NBA FUTURES EXPLAINED:

NBA futures are wagers on eventual results regarding certain teams. For example, a NBA championship futures wager is a bet on which team will win the NBA title in June. Other types of NBA futures wagers can involve the number of wins that a team achieves during the season, betting on which team wins their specific division, or betting on which team will win the conference title.

The odds on NBA futures wagers are generally expressed similar to a moneyline. For example, the Bulls could be posted at +1800 to win the NBA championship. That means that a $100 wager would yield $1,800 if Chicago won the NBA championship.
