There have never been as many sweepstakes sportsbooks with NBA odds as we have now. When the 2026-27 NBA season starts in late October, no fewer than half a dozen sweepstakes sports betting apps will be available with odds.
NBA futures are what hoops fans are focused on now. We know where LeBron James will be playing. We know that Kawhi Leonard will be playing. We've seen what Luka Dončić looks like.

The first tip of the NBA season will be October 20, when the Detroit Pistons host the Boston Celtics in an afternoon game to lift the wrapper off the hoop.
But which teams are good enough to hoist the next NBA Finals trophy? Can the New York Knicks repeat? Will the young San Antonio Spurs and Victor Wembanyama avenge their collapse in last spring's NBA Finals? Is the window closing on the Oklahoma City Thunder?
These odds are from Betr Sportsbook, one of the easiest to use sweepstakes sports betting apps:
| TEAM | ODDS | TEAM | ODDS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spurs | +270 | Thunder | +270 |
| 76ers | +900 | Knicks | +900 |
| Celtics | +1300 | Cavaliers | +2200 |
| Raptors | +2500 | Timberwolves | +2500 |
| Pistons | +2500 | Nuggets | +2500 |
| Heat | +3000 | Lakers | +3500 |
| Pacers | +4000 | Rockets | +5000 |
| Warriors | +6000 | Hawks | +7000 |
| Blazers | +8000 | Magic | +8000 |
| Hornets | +10000 | Suns | +12000 |
| Wizards | +15000 | Mavericks | +18000 |
| Jazz | +20000 | Pelicans | +40000 |
| Clippers | +50000 | Bulls | +70000 |
| Bucks | +70000 | Nets | +100000 |
| Kings | +100000 | Grizzlies | +100000 |
All odds are based on $100 wagers. Example: wager $100 at +270, and if you win, earn $270 plus your stake.
Any of these betting apps are a good choice for basketball fans seeking to expand into sweeps NBA futures odds markets.
The competition is getting more serious, but Betr still remains the elite among sweepstakes sportsbooks. That's the case for NBA fans, whether you like to wear Laker Purple, Knicks Orange, or Celtics Green.
Hands down, the Betr Sweepstakes app has the most bonus betting dollars available. In a recent stretch during the first weeks of the NFL and heading into the NBA preseason, we saw more bonus offers for new users, like "Bet $50 and Get $200 in Worry-Free" bets. That means we can test betting strategies or hedge without risking real dollars.
Because Betr has such a great interface, stability, and so many odds markets, it's become my go-to for MLB, NFL, and college football betting too.
I found that the odds on Sportzino are often the same as the odds listed at Onyx. Those two apps seem to follow each other in many ways. But, Sportzino is more fun to use because it integrates more easily with live game results.
Many markets are in this app for NBA Futures. If I want to place a wager on the Thunder, for example, I can pick them to win the Western Conference, have the most regular season wins, or win the NBA Finals. I can match them with a Finals opponent, if I want. The Thunder/76ers Finals matchup is +880 from Sportzino.
The Sportzino app is available in more than three dozen states. Even if you don't have legal real-money sports betting apps, you may be able to download Sportzino for your Android or Apple device.
Maybe you haven't heard of Legendz because it isn't in your App Store, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take the time to look at it. Legendz Sweepstakes is a social casino and sportsbook available in a web browser only.
On the casino side, Legendz has over five hundred games online. But NBA fans will love the basketball odds. The website delivers smooth gameplay with NBA Futures. Players use virtual coins for the free-to-play mode or redeem Sweeps Coins for cash and prizes.
Last season I didn't anticipate allocating much of my betting budget to Onyx. By the second half of the season, it was my favorite sweepstake betting app. That's because of the weekly betting specials.
During the NBA season, Onyx will typically have daily betting offers or odds boosts for game props or even parlays. Don't dive too deep into the parlays, those bets are notoriously tough to win in the NBA with its load management. But, I do like finding ways to increase my odds on game or team props.
The most engaging thing about this app is the "Squads" feature, which enables you to create groups with friends and compete with your picks and predictions.
Thrillzz is great for new users. But it rates #5 here because it has the fewest odds markets and the least enticing bonus offers.
