Key Basketball Leagues to Follow and Bet On
Basketball is played almost daily around the globe, with various different leagues and competitions being played in all those locations. We are able to regularly provide betting coverage of basketball games today on this page due to fixtures being played in different parts of the world every single day!
We provide you with comprehensive coverage of major leagues like the NBA and EuroLeague, but also many minor leagues and competitions, with value bets to be found all over for basketball betting.
We provide specific pages for all of the key basketball leagues down below and more, ensuring you have all the information you need to make confident betting decisions. This means you can discover standings, results, match facts, user predictions, head-to-head results, and more for the NBA, WNBA, and many other competitions.
NBA (National Basketball Association) – USA & Canada
With enormous betting interest and market coverage, there is no better league to bet on than the NBA. On top of that, you will be consuming the most high-quality basketball in the world for its 82-game regular season, followed by a highly competitive and physical NBA Playoffs, due to the outstanding ability of the players in the league.
The NBA is a league that is covered extensively by bookmakers, from their detailed odds and betting markets to promotions and boosts they provide each night. You can take your pick from the standard moneyline and spread markets to player props for points, assists, rebounds, and more.
Find the latest NBA games on this page if matches are being played today, or find out the upcoming games in the league when you check today’s NBA odds.
EuroLeague – Europe
For our European players, you are probably well aware of the competitive nature and hard defence played in the EuroLeague, the biggest basketball competition on the continent.
Featuring the best teams from Spain, Turkey, Greece, France, and many other nations, the EuroLeague is a spectacular tournament which is played every year and has similarities to the UEFA Champions League in football.
With shorter 10 minute quarters as per FIBA rules, plus some other key differences to the NBA, the EuroLeague is a tough league for scoring due to refs not giving as many fouls, with the under points totals generally being a better bet than the over.
Check out the latest EuroLeague odds with us today, while you can find any matches being played today at the top of this page.
Liga ACB (Liga Endesa) – Spain
With top teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona having had much success in their domestic league and European competition, the Liga ACB is considered the best domestic league on the continent.
Similarly to the EuroLeague and a lot of domestic leagues on the continent, defence takes priority and lower points totals usually prevail as teams fight to keep each other out rather than try to outscore their opponents.
Real Madrid, like their football team, are considered the most successful basketball team of all time in Europe as it stands, but they face tough competition in Liga ACB to maintain this status with many emerging teams now up and coming.
Monitor the progress of the league for past seasons, this year, and beyond with our Liga ACB odds page today.
CBA (Chinese Basketball Association) – China
Without doubt the strongest league in Asia, the CBA has had huge commercial backing over the years and even seen some stars from the NBA make the trip overseas in the latter stages of their career.
With massive local fanbases and loud atmospheres, home advantage can be pivotal in the Chinese league, which can be a key thing to look out for in the CBA odds.
There is also a certain level of unpredictability about the CBA, with games mixing between high-scoring and many missed shots, with our statistics in the standings and results guiding you towards the best teams to bet on in the league.
NBL (National Basketball League) – Australia
Another league which has many different betting angles, high-scoring and intriguing playoff battles is the NBL in Australia.
Featuring only 10 teams, it means NBL teams can exert more effort game-by-game, which results in some high-quality matchups and excellent defensive or offensive plays on a regular basis.
Many players from the NBL and the WNBL often make the switch to the US to feature in the NBA or WNBA, indicating how strong some of the talent is that comes from the league.
You can check out our NBL odds and discover the latest standings, results, outrights, and more with OddsPortal, with NBL matches today able to be found above.
WNBA (Women’s NBA)
The most well-known and high quality women’s basketball league in the world is the WNBA, which is played in the USA from May until September.
The league has seen a recent rise in viewership and fandom thanks to the arrival of the star studded Caitlin Clark. The point guard has lived up to high expectations since joining the WNBA following record-breaking statistics during her time in college, regularly draining three pointers from distance and captivating crowds.
In combination with the rise in fan engagement, betting interest has also increased in the WNBA. It is a league that can provide some unpredictable scores throughout the regular season, when tough defences are sometimes able to overcome stacked teams at the top of the league and cause a shock.
If you are a big fan of the NBA, you will be well aware that the two seasons almost cross paths, supplying players with some opportunities for betting while the men’s league is in its off-season.
You can find the latest WNBA odds for all of our basketball markets on its dedicated page along with results and the current standings, while you can find today’s WNBA matches on this page!
Friendly Internationals
In the build-up to an international tournament like Olympic Basketball or the FIBA World Cup, there will often be some international friendly matches being played to prepare teams.
With squad rotation and experimentation likely in these games, it can lead to generous betting odds for usually heavy favourites, or maybe an opportunity to go up against the expected winner.
We strongly recommend you wait until the lineups are confirmed before placing any bets, and we will supply you with the odds when you are ready on this page if international basketball friendlies are being played today
Betting Tips for Today’s Basketball Games

- Spot Value With Injury Reports or Lineups: By monitoring news outside of our site, you can be quicker than the bookmakers and find value in team that is played a weakened lineup, or an opponent without a star player.
- Do Your Research: Make sure that you take an analytical approach to betting on today’s basketball games, don’t rush your decision making and place statistically backed bets.
- Try to Watch Games: Don’t bet blind by utilising only the live scores, we recommend you watch game developments unfold to ensure you are confident when placing bets on basketball matches today.
FAQs about Basketball Games Today
Where Can I Find Updated Odds for Today’s Basketball Games?
This page brings you real-time, updated odds for today’s basketball games, compiling them all for you in one place. This includes pre-match and live betting, plus the basketball scores and closing odds for already completed games today.
Is It Better to Bet Live or Before the Game Starts?
It is both entirely up to you on what you prefer, and sometimes whether a game doesn’t offer much value pre-match, but could in-play. For example, live basketball games may see an underdog take an early lead and ramp up the price of the pre-match favourite, which could be seen as a promising betting angle. On the other hand, there might be value bets available pre-match, but not during games, so it is up to your preference.
Can I Watch Basketball Matches Live While Betting?
Basketball live streams are often available with many sportsbooks around the world, allowing you to both place your bets and watch the game. A play button or something to distinguish which basketball games are available for live streams can be found with our betting partners on their pages.
Currently, you cannot watch matches live on OddsPortal as we do not offer live streams, but you can follow the live basketball scores.
