NBA Betting is Back in Action with the NBA 2024-25 Season

Professional basketball is a sport that is often seen through the lens of sports betting. The NBA is a league that has a good amount of regular season games, and there seems to be a lot of focus on player performance. This opens the door for player prop bets and player futures bets. Especially once you get into the meat of the NBA Playoffs, there are plenty of opportunities to wager on player success, team performance, and much more. 

The Action Network is your source for everything NBA from team news and updates to sports betting details and sportsbook promo codes. Take a look at all that we have to offer:

NBA Futures Odds

Got a hunch on this year's NBA Finals winner? Feel like your team is a lock to win their conference? If so, you need to look into NBA futures. Futures bets are those whose result is not determined until much later in the season. They're notoriously hard to predict, but if you manage to win, you're likely to win big. The Action Network has compiled future odds for just about everything related to the NBA season including team performance and individual awards.

NBA Against the Spread (ATS) Records

Betting the spread is probably the most popular form of NBA betting. While this betting market tends to get significant action, it can also be one of the more difficult options. Because the spread makers are so good at what they do, their lines are usually pretty spot on, making it difficult as a bettor to pick correctly. Looking at team trends against the spread over the course of the season can help bettors make more informed decisions based on hard data for a particular team.

NBA Injury Report

Injuries always play a significant role in any NBA season. The loss of key players can dramatically alter a team's prospect for winning games. Not only that, but the absence of stars on the court will also impact a game's odds. Seasoned bettors know to scour the injury reports before making a wager to ensure that their selection is one that takes into account who might be missing from the field in a given contest.
