How to read NBA Las Vegas Odds

The point-spread was developed to provide a balance for both teams involved in a contest to attract bettors to potentially back the weaker team and receive points. The two squads in a game are listed with a title, either a favorite or an underdog. The favorite is usually the perceived better team in the game, as backing them means giving up several points.

The favorite is always listed with a minus (-) sign before the point-spread while the underdog is labeled with a plus (+) label.

Ex. Favorite -10, Underdog +10

On the VegasInsider.com odds page, there is another number associated with the favorite and its listed as -10. This number is simply defined as “vig” or what many in the sports betting industry call vigorish. Another common term is called “juice” and it’s technically the price the bettor has to pay on a straight wager.

Ex. Bet $110 to win $100 (10% juice)
Ex. Bet $100 to win $91.91 (10% juice)

It's not uncommon to see other values posted other than -10. Examples seen on the NBA Vegas Odds pages could include -08, -12, -15 and -20. The -10 price is the most common value in the industry while many books offer reduced 'juice odds' and that would fall into the -08 category.

The lower-juice sportsbooks are normally found outside of the state of Nevada. If you are in a state where sports betting is legal, please check out our online sportsbook directory to find the best and most secure places to make NBA bets.

Another number that’s posted on the NBA Las Vegas is the total or ‘over/under’ for the specific matchup. If the favorite is designated as the home team, then the total will be listed above and vice versa if the visitors are favorites.

All of the above numbers are listed next to the teams, and before each matchup is a Rotation number. The NBA Las Vegas Odds are listed in order of rotation and those numbers are generated and produced by the sportsbooks. Above each matchup and rotation is the Time of the game, which is subject to change. All game times are Eastern Standard Time.

NBA Open Line

One of the best features on the NBA Vegas Odds is the Open Line. This numbers consists of the first betting line received from one of our Las Vegas or Global Sportsbooks. The opening line varies depending on the sportsbook but it provides a clear-cut rating that the oddsmakers use. If you’re betting on the NBA or any other sport, it’s a great idea to view the open line first.

VI Consensus NBA Line

The VegasInsider.com Consensus NBA Line is just as important as the Open Line and also a key resource on odds platform. The Consensus column could be called a “Median Line” since it shows the most consistent number provided by the sportsbooks on VegasInsider.com. The consensus line will be the same as the open line but once the wagers start coming in, this number is often different than the openers.

Point Spreads & Over Unders for Upcoming NBA Games

This is the page where you can see the latest point spreads, money lines, and totals for all of tonight's games. It's important to compare numbers across different books, because each half point can make the difference between a win and a tie or a push and a loss. Just use the drop down to switch between spreads, totals, and moneylines, or to check out the current odds for other sports. You can also use the state dropdown on the right to filter by the books available in your area!

Money Lines for Tonight & Tomorrow

With money lines you take out the point spread and bet on a team to win straight up. Betting on favorites will cost you more upfront, while betting on underdogs allows you to bet less for a bigger payout. This can be a great option when you think an underdog will win outright, or if you feel confident a favorite will win but might have trouble covering the point spread.

Futures & Odds to Win Divisions, Conferences, and the Finals

Many books also post the odds for each team to win the NBA Finals. These are set at the beginning of the season and then update constantly throughout the season. Futures odds are a great way to interpret just how good a team is performing and if the market thinks that trend will continue.

This page provides all the NBA betting lines for today’s card. It will also show any games that have betting lines published for tomorrow.

The standard view lists the point spread of the favorite and the total for that matchup. You can also note the start time and rotation number so you don’t forget to place your wager before tip-off.

We also list out the games with the money lines and totals so you can see those types of lines easier.

The latest NBA Finals futures and win total over/unders are on this page as well. They are often taken down, so we keep hard copies. That way you can go back and compare which teams’ odds have moved up and down.

Using the NBA Betting Lines to Your Advantage

While the primary focus of this page is to keep you up to date with the point spreads, it’s also a great handicapping tool.

One useful feature is “Bet %.” This tool lets you know what percentage of wagers are being placed on each side of a specific matchup. It’s a great way for getting a feel on where the public money is coming in. Just remember it’s only a percentage of the number of bets, not the amount wagered on each side.

We also provide the opening line for all games, which you can find under the section listed “Opener.” This makes it easy to track line movement and spot reverse line moves (when line moves opposite of Bet %).

Finally, we provide odds from several of the most reputable sportsbooks on the internet. This lets you spot which book is offering the best line or total for the game you are looking to bet. If you aren’t signed up at more than one sportsbook, I recommend doing so.
