SuperBook opens 2020-21 NBA Win Totals
To read NBA odds, you need to know what a betting line is. An NBA betting line is a figure set by oddsmakers that try to offer reasonable odds for both sides of the outcome of an NBA game. The three main betting lines oddsmakers set for every game are for a point spread, a total, and the moneyline. As the second half of the regular season gets set to get underway, let’s take inventory of the NBA futures odds. Insight and predictions for all the individual awards were covered in an earlier post; this page is dedicated to the following three markets.
The 2020-21 NBA regular season is expected to start on Tuesday Dec. 22 and this year's campaign will be a 72-game schedule, opposed to 82 games.

The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook took notice of the news and opened their NBA Win Totals betting market for all 30 teams in the league.
2020-21 NBA Contenders
- Milwaukee Bucks 49.5
- Los Angeles Lakers 46.5
- Boston Celtics 45.5
- Los Angeles Clippers 45.5
Of the above four teams, the Los Angeles Lakers were the only one to participate in last year's NBA Finals as they defeated the Miami Heat at the NBA Bubble from Orlando, Florida.
2020-21 NBA Pretenders
- Detroit Pistons 23.5
- Oklahoma City Thunder 22.5
- New York Knicks 22.5
- Cleveland Cavaliers 22.5
Going .500 in this year's regular season would translate to a 36-36 record and the clubs listed above aren't expected to get nowhwere near that record. Coincidentally, all four of these teams are from the Eastern Conference.
Eastern Conference - 2020-21 Win Totals Odds
Listed below are teams from the Eastern Conference and how the oddsmakers project they'll do based on wins for 2020-21 NBA regular season.
The top eight teams in each conference will make the postseason.
- Milwaukee Bucks 49.5

- Orlando Magic 31.5
- Chicago Bulls 30.5
- Charlotte Hornets 25.5

The oddsmakers at the SuperBook believe that only seven teams in the Eastern Conference will finish the 2020-21 NBA regular season above .500 (36-36).
Looking at the projections, seven teams appear to be locks to gain a playoff spot while four others (Wizards, Magic, Bulls) will fight for the eighth and final spot.
And then there are the Pretenders listed above.
Western Conference - 2020-21 Win Totals Odds
Listed below are teams from the Western Conference and how the oddsmakers project they'll do based on wins for 2020-21 NBA regular season.
The top eight teams in each conference will make the postseason.
- Los Angeles Lakers 46.5
- Los Angeles Clippers 45.5
- Denver Nuggets 44.5
- Dallas Mavericks 42.5
- Utah Jazz 42.5
- Portland Trail Blazers 41.5
- Phoenix Suns 38.5
- Golden State Warriors 36.5
- New Orleans Pelicans 36.5
- Houston Rockets 34.5
- Memphis Grizzlies 30.5
- San Antonio Spurs 29.5
- Sacramento Kings 27.5
- Minnesota Timberwolves 28.5
- Oklahoma City Thunder 22.5
Of the three divisions in the Western Conference, the Pacific Division is expected to be the most competitive in the NBA 2020-21 regular season. The Lakers (46.5) and Clippers (45.5) are expected to surpass 40 wins. The Warriors were dealt a serious blow in November as star shooter Klay Thompson was lost for the season with an Achilles' tendon tear as their win total dropped to 36.5. The Suns (38.5) have been given a tad more respect after their recent effort in the NBA Bubble last summer and the acquisition of veteran guard Chris Paul.
Seven of the 15 teams in the West are expected to finish better than .500 by the oddsmakers.
How do I read the over/under line?
For example, the Milwaukee Bucks' win total for 2020-21 season is 49.5. If you believe the Bucks will finish 49-23 or worse, taking the 'under' is the play. For 'over' bettors, the Bucks would have to finish with 50-plus wins to cash tickets.
NBA Win Totals are available for all 30 teams in the league and placing 'over/under' wagers on their season production in the regular season is a great way to follow a team all season.
For the 2020-21 regular season, all teams must play 72 regular season games for the NBA Win Total wagers to be considered live wagers or what's known in the industry as 'Action.' The NBA Win Totals Odds set do not include postseason games.
Unfortunately due to the Coronavirus pandemic, bettors with active Win Total wagers could see their bets refunded since the regular season may not return or be reduced. At the same time, losing wagers will also be refunded.

Odds Subject to Change - Updated Tue., Dec. 22, 2020
After a long pause in action, the NBA returns July 30th to close out their 2019-20 season. With all eyes on the NBA playoffs, which team is the favorite to win in the eyes of the oddsmakers at BetMGM sportsbook?
Three teams, per the oddsmakers, stand out among the pack with the shortest odds of winning this season’s NBA Championship. The Los Angeles Lakers lead the way and are the favorite among the postseason teams to be this year’s champion; they sit with the lowest odds at +250. But the Lake Show isn’t considered as a dominating favorite, as the Lakers are closely followed by the Milwaukee Bucks at +280 and the Los Angeles Clippers at +325.
New to the world of sports betting? At +250, the Lakers have an implied 28.57% chance of winning it all, or 5/2 in fractional odds. A $100 wager at +250 returns a $250 profit should they win the championship this season. The Bucks (26.32% at +280) and Clippers (23.53% at +325) round out the top three. From there, the odds get longer and quickly: The Houston Rockets (+1200 – bet $100, win $1,200) have implied odds of just 7.69% while the Boston Celtics (+1800 – bet $100, win $1,800) sit at 5.26%.
