Live NBA Betting Lines
The NBA is a great league for basketball betting fans and our sportsbook at SBG Global offers superb NBA betting options. Basketball betting is a bit different than other sports because there are so many games on the board during the typical 82-game season. Keep in mind that the NBA betting season has different parts. Betting on NBA games at SBG is one of the most popular activities fans enjoy because of all the opportunities to win it delivers for hoops fanatics.
You have the early part of the season with teams feeling each other out, the main part of the season when teams play the bulk of their games, and the NBA playoffs where NBA basketball betting is somewhat different with each team playing up to seven games against the other. We definitely need to handicap each one of these parts differently. By doing this, you will be able to fully understand each team’s weaknesses and strengths and this will educate and make you wiser before you bet on NBA.
We have to change our ratings and our feelings about teams as they move from one part of the season to another. Some basketball betting players will wait out the first couple of weeks of the season and let the dust settle before jumping headfirst into the pro basketball betting season. So if you start betting on them too soon without properly handicapping them, you might end up committing NBA betting sabotage for yourself.
You don’t have to wait to start betting on NBA basketball but be aware that things change throughout the season. Futures betting odds for the NBA may be updated weekly or daily depending on matchups, injuries, and team trends. Betting on NBA games can look one way one week, and completely shift for the next week depending on these and other important and relevant factors.
You always want to be aware of the different philosophies of teams, and coaches as you look at basketball betting. Sometimes basketball betting gamblers look only at the results, not necessarily the strength of schedule and other intangibles that can be important. Don’t make that mistake. This is the one tip that you want to keep in mind before you bet on NBA. We have seen many people make that mistake every year as they precipitate their decisions before analyzing what is going on in the season.
Look beyond just the final score and consider other factors like travel, injuries, scheduling, revenge, etc. as you look at the basketball betting lines. Take a look at the matchups as you examine the basketball betting line each day.
If you take into consideration more than just the final score you can win money at basketball betting this season. So for even more help winning at pro basketball betting, read our analysis of games, teams, and matchups below. This will be your most intelligent move.

NBA betting: Will Melo and the King play together next season?
Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James would be a basketball betting match made in heaven. For those who bet on the Miami Heat, that is; for the rest it would be pure hell. But even if the two do end up on the same team, there is no guarantee that it would be this year’s NBA Championship runner-ups. In fact, it has been revealed by his agent Rich Paul that James will exercise his contract’s early termination option. That doesn’t mean the Heat and LeBron are breaking up; it probably doesn’t even mean James is considering leaving. If anything, it is a wake-up call for Miami to offer him a restructured deal, and more importantly, spend more on an upgraded roster.
Basketball betting: Top NBA draft foreign prospects
Is the NBA betting on foreign prospects? The annual draft traditionally focuses on homegrown talent, but there is no denying that international stars have helped make the league what it is today. The impact that players like Dikembe Mutombo, Arvidas Sabonis, Rik Smits, Dirk Nowitzki, and more recently Tony Parker is indelible. This year’s draft class has been touted as one of the most promising in a long time, and while foreign prospects may not be capturing the top picks, they will certainly be hot commodities.
First of all there is Australian 18 year old guard Dante Exum. Though born in Melbourne, Exum’s American father Cecil won an NCAA championship in 1982 with the University of California, alongside future legends Michael Jordan and James Worthy. Cecil was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in 1984 but ended up playing in Australia’s National Basketball League for such teams as the North Melbourne Giants, Melbourne Tigers, and Geelong Supercats. Dante has participated in the FIBA Under-17 World Championship and the 2013 FIBA Under-19 World Championship, as well as the 2013 Nike Hoop Summit. Exum is expected to be drafted by the Magic.
