How to Bet on NBA Futures

Betting on NBA futures is super easy. All you need to do is pick the team you think will win the NBA Championship or some other outright market, such as To Reach the NBA finals, To Top the Conference, To Win the Division, etc. If that team wins, you have a winning bet too.

You place an outright bet before the season. However, many bookmakers allow you to place futures wagers even after the season begins, in which case, the odds change.

The great thing about NBA outright odds is that they allow you to follow the entire NBA season with just one bet. Obviously, you can't have that when you place a bet on just one NBA game. That means minimum investment and maximum excitement. You can already see why we have a soft spot for NBA winner odds and markets, can't you?

2022-23 NBA Championship Odds

Looking at the latest NBA Championship odds, it is evident that the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors are the two joint favorites in this outright market. They are followed by the LA Clippers, the 2021 winners, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Brooklyn Nets.

The Golden State Warriors are the defending champs, and Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson will come with all guns blazing this year too. The Warriors lost some rotation players in Gary Payton II and Otto Porter Jr. but have found adequate replacements, and if the likes of Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins perform as well as last season, Golden State has an excellent chance of notching back-to-back NBA wins. However, the Boston Celtics might have something to say about that.

2022-23 NBA Finals Odds

As you might expect, the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics are among the favorites to reach the 2022-23 NBA finals. The two finalists from last season get similar odds to make it all the way to the final series of the NBA playoffs, but for many experts, the Celtics are the better team to back. Boston came so close to making it 3-1 last season before Steph Curry, and the Golden State Warriors turned things around. So, the Celtics will be extra motivated to come back to the scene of the crime and make things right.

Boston Celtics	3.85
Golden State Warriors	4.00

LA Clippers	4.40
Brooklyn Nets	4.60

2022-23 NBA Eastern Conference Odds

The NBA Eastern Conference will be as closely-fought as possible, and the NBA betting odds at our top sportsbooks reflect that. At most bookies, the Boston Celtics have the lowest odds of becoming the best team in the Eastern Conference. The 2021 NBA champions, the Milwaukee Bucks, are Eastern Conference front runners as well. If the Brooklyn Nets manage to get the best of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and keep them happy, they instantly become serious Eastern Conference contenders too.

Team	Odds by Powbet
Golden State Warriors	4.00
LA Clippers	4.40
Phoenix Suns	5.00
Denver Nuggets	9.00
Los Angeles Lakers	9.00

2022-23 NBA Atlantic Division Odds

The Celtics and the Nets are odds-on favorites in the Atlantic Division but don't be surprised if the Philadelphia 76ers enter the mix and top the division. The 76ers had as many wins as the Celtics in the regular season last time around. So, the third favorites in this market might actually come with the best odds in terms of value to punters.

Team	Odds by Bettarget
Boston Celtics	2.85
Brooklyn Nets	2.85
Philadelphia 76ers	4.00
Toronto Raptors	11.90
New York Knicks	61.00

2022-23 NBA Southeast Division Odds

The Miami Heat is the team to back in the NBA South East Division. The Heat took their division by storm last year, so betting sites expect them to dominate the regular season once again. Bookies seem to think that the Atlanta Hawks are the only real rivals for that top spot, as third favorites, the Charlotte Hornets, are not given much of a chance.

Team	Odds by Bettarget
Miami Heat	1.52
Atlanta Hawks	2.95
Charlotte Hornets	13.00
Washington Wizards	32.00
Orlando Magic	150.00

2022-23 NBA Central Division Odds

Visit any online sportsbook out there, and you will see the same thing. The Milwaukee Bucks are the strongest favorites to take their division and are given the lowest decimal, moneyline, and fractional odds, hands down. If you look at the other teams competing for that top spot, you see why that's the case. It will take a real miracle for either one of the Cleveland Cavaliers or Chicago Bulls to dethrone the Bucks.

Team	Odds by Bettarget
Milwaukee Bucks	1.34
Cleveland Cavaliers	4.50
Chicago Bulls	7.50
Detroit Pistons	150.00
Indiana Pacers	230.00

2022-23 NBA Northwest Division Odds

The Nuggets may not get the best NBA Championship odds. However, they are the clear favorites to win their division. The Minnesota Timberwolves stand a decent chance of challenging the Nuggets, but other than them, all other Northwest Division teams can be listed as underdogs.

Team	Odds by Bettarget
Denver Nuggets	1.71
Minnesota Timberwolves	2.40
Portland Trail Blazers	9.05
Utah Jazz	150.00
Oklahoma City Thunder	200.00

2022-23 NBA Southwest Division Odds

The Memphis Grizzlies topped the Southwest Division last season, and bookies seem to think they can do the same again. However, the Mavericks were breathing down their necks back then, and sportsbooks predict something happening in the new season too. Not much has changed in the southwest, obviously.

Team	Odds by Bettarget
Memphis Grizzlies	2.25
Dallas Mavericks	2.30
New Orleans Pelicans	4.80
Houston Rockets	200.00
San Antonio Spurs	210.00

2022-23 NBA Pacific Division Odds

LeBron James and Anthony Davis will have to work extra hard during the regular season to earn that top Pacific spot for the Lakers. The two candidates for the Most Valuable Player award have the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, and LA Clippers to topple if the Lakers are to win their division. That dynamic duo better roll up its sleeves.

Team	Odds by Bettarget
Phoenix Suns	2.85
Golden State Warriors	3.00
Los Angeles Clippers	3.15
Los Angeles Lakers	9.75
Sacramento Kings	210.00

2022-23 NBA Playoffs Odds

If you are looking for some risk-free betting options, the NBA playoffs odds will be right up your alley. You don't need to watch expert analysis of games to know that certain teams are almost guaranteed to make the NBA playoffs. However, it is evident that the odds you will get are not something to write home about.

Team	Odds by Powbet
Boston Celtics	1.02
Milwaukee Bucks	1.02
Golden State Warriors	1.03
Phoenix Suns	1.04
Los Angeles Clippers	1.05
Brooklyn Nets	1.05
Philadelphia 76ers	1.08
Miami Heat	1.09
Denver Nuggets	1.14
