NBA Betting & Odds, Basketball
The NBA is the biggest basketball league in the world, featuring the best players from across the globe. NBA betting at Mbet can make already exciting games even more engaging.
With NBA betting, it's important to follow the league closely and understand where teams stand, because even one key player being unavailable can have a significant impact on NBA odds. Let's take a closer look at the world's best basketball league.
Rebranding: Marathonbet is now Mbet
We have carried out a global rebranding: Marathonbet has become Mbet. Our name has become shorter, while keeping its connection to a brand people already trust. It now takes fewer steps to place a bet, too. Our website is now faster, more intuitive and user-friendly, while the improved navigation makes it easier to find the events and markets you need.
NBA games are now easier to find on both the website and the mobile version. In the updated market interface, live and pre-match betting are available on the same tournament page, so you can switch between bet types more quickly.
NBA 2026/27 season
Last season ended in triumph for the New York Knicks, ending a 53-year title drought. In the Finals, the Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs 4–1, needing just five games to claim victory in the best-of-seven series.
The 2026/27 campaign is set to be even more thrilling. The biggest transfer bombshell of the off-season was LeBron James’ move to the Philadelphia 76ers. The signing of the veteran has significantly boosted Philadelphia’s chances of success.
The regular season will begin on 20th October 2026. The 30 teams will play 82 matches each, after which the play-in will begin in April 2027, followed by the play-offs, and then the Final series to determine the title. The season is expected to conclude in June 2027.
The main favourites for the upcoming season include the Oklahoma City Thunder, led by two-time MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The San Antonio Spurs, featuring Victor Wembanyama, who was named last season's Defensive Player of the Year, also have a strong chance.

How basketball and NBA odds are set
NBA odds are not random numbers. They're calculated by professional analysts. Before placing an NBA or other sports bet, it helps to understand what the odds are based on. Our experts consider:
- team performance and recent results
- schedule: a packed calendar, especially with back-to-back games, can seriously affect performance
- injuries to key players: in the NBA, one star player can often decide a match result on their own
- head-to-head statistics
- whether the team is playing at home or away.
To make a strong match prediction, you need to take several factors into account at once. Bet thoughtfully, as this can improve your chances of making a correct prediction.

FAQs
What is a 'total' in basketball betting?
A 'total' refers to the combined number of points scored by both teams in a match. You bet on whether the final score will be over or under a set value.
Which NBA betting markets are the most popular?
The most popular markets are Match Winner and To Win Match with Handicap (by points).
Can I combine bets in an accumulator?
Yes. Several NBA regular-season games can take place on the same evening, so an accumulator bet that includes multiple matches is a very popular option for those looking for higher odds.
What should I take into account when analysing NBA matches?
The schedule is the main factor. NBA teams often play every other day, so fatigue can build up very quickly. Check how many consecutive games the team has played and whether they had a series of away matches. Injuries are a key factor, too. Missing a key player makes a team significantly weaker.
