NBA Futures Betting Odds
What Are NBA Futures?
NBA Futures offer basketball fans numerous ways to wager on odds with long-term payoffs as opposed to the immediate returns which may or may not come from a single game. Some of these wagers include putting money down on which team will win the championship, a conference championship, a division, or any individual hardware at the end of a regular season.
These odds fluctuate constantly, so it's important for bettors to stay on top of any trends or key factors which could cause dramatic changes such as winning/losing streaks, injuries to key players, road trips, and much more.
Sportsbooks will usually list a plus sign (+) next to the lines for most futures, with the number coming after indicating how much a $100 bet would generate in profit. For example, here's a look at how the current odds for the 2025 championship currently read:
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| Boston Celtics | +300 |
| Oklahoma City Thunder | +650 |
| Philadelphia 76ers | +800 |
The Boston Celtics are currently the favorites to capture the Larry O'Brien trophy based on the team having the lowest number at plus money. If someone were to wager $100 on the Celtics only for them to win it all in the end, they'd recoup their initial $100 bet and generate $300 in profit.
