Winner prediction: who do we expect to win the NBA?
Last year, The San Antonio Spurs took on the New York Knicks for the NBA finals. Led by a brilliant Jalen Brunson, the New York team won their first title after 56 years of waiting. For this new season, everything is different. In addition of the teams who were already performing last year, new contenders have emerged.
The main one, The Philadelphia Sixers, will be the team to beat this year, but the opposition will be strong, with the Heat, Cavs, Celtics, Pacers, Raptors, Knicks and Pistons all armed to take the first place in the Eastern Conference. In the Western Conference, the Thunder and the Spurs saw their main opponents move during the free-agency. The Timberwolves are now a strong title candidate, such as the Nuggets.
Our prediction for the 2026/27 NBA Champion: Philadelphia Sixers to win the title!

The impact of NBA statistics on your predictions
In recent years, the need to analyse statistics before betting on sports has proven its worth, but this is even more true when it comes to the NBA. The league is teeming with numerous statistics per game, such as 3-point shooting percentages, number of assists, and number of rebounds per game. Each statistic helps us gain a clearer picture of the form of the franchises and the strategies they may adopt.
Some predictions seem less risky to make once all this information is taken into account. One example is 'Over 220.5' points, which is often validated. The most common bets on the American league are therefore on a home team winning, with a rate of 54.5% last year, but also 'Under/Over', as mentioned above.
So, analyse the figures and statistics to make the best possible predictions and be a winner! But be careful, as always, nothing is a foregone conclusion and everything can change very quickly during a match.
NBA odds: how to use them to bet with bookmakers?
One of the most important tips when getting started in sports betting is to analyse the different odds and compare those offered by different online bookmakers. Just as important as statistics, odds are used to make predictions as they allow you to assess the probability of an outcome.
It is always important to ask yourself whether the odds are attractive or whether it would be better not to bet on the match. The risk taken in placing the bet should not exceed the potential return.
- If you plan to bet on a difficult victory for OKC against Utah Jazz and the bookmakers give odds of 1.41 for the match, it is better not to bet on this match. The probability of OKC winning is 70.9% according to the formula (1/odds) 🇽 100, which is still very high. You should stick to what you think without taking unnecessary risks. In this case, the bet is unlikely to pay off. You might as well save your money and bet it another time!
- On the other hand, you want to bet on a big win for the Houston Rockets against the Memphis Grizzlies this time. The bookmakers do not see it that way and are offering odds of 1.70 for this bet. This gives a probability of victory of 58.8%.
- In this case, the bet is worth trying because you consider the risk to be low, but there is a bigger payout at stake.
The odds offered by bookmakers should therefore be taken into account when betting. They help you make the right choices in terms of stakes and predictions, and choose which matches to bet on.
Guidelines for reliable NBA predictions
While our site aims to give you as much information as possible about the NBA to increase your chances of winning, there are some tips that will help you better understand the league and avoid simple betting mistakes. Here are four tips that may seem basic but are important to keep in mind.
1. Be aware of the form of NBA franchises
The mere prestige of an NBA team is not enough to bet on it. The example of the Bulls comes straight to mind! Rosters change regularly and players are often affected by injuries. It is better to know whether your favourite team is in a rebuilding phase or whether it is in a period where it is well established.
A team's recent form is also crucial. If a team is on a losing streak but would normally be predicted to win, be careful not to rely solely on its reputation but also on its recent performances. It is therefore necessary to analyse various statistics, such as point averages or turnovers, which could explain an unusual defeat.
2. Check the form of NBA star players
Apart from a franchise's collective performance, each team depends in part on the form of its star player or players. An absence can be costly and have a significant impact. Last season, fate struck the Lakers, who lost in the Western Conference semi-finals to the Thunder following Luka Doncic injury before the playoffs.
But the impact can also be felt when a player is present. A player's poor form can have a significant impact on a team's play, even destabilising it. It is common knowledge that Stephen Curry can change the course of a game, both positively and negatively, with a sharp drop in points statistics in games where he is less impactful.
NBA star players have the power to turn a game around. It is therefore important to check whether they are playing in the match you are betting on and whether they are in good form.
3. Compare NBA odds at different bookmakers
Although often overlooked by bettors who are loyal to one bookmaker, it is advisable to compare the odds offered by different websites for a similar bet. This is true for any basketball prediction as it can really make a difference!
There may be differences in the odds, as bookmakers choose which ones they want to offer. One operator may be preferable if it allows you to win more money on equivalent bets.
On top of that, there are bookmaker bonuses, such as the one offered by Bet365, which allow you to benefit from a great welcome offer when you try out a new bookmaker. This means there is less risk involved, so don't hesitate!
Our opinion on the difficulty of NBA betting
Historically, the NBA has been a fairly difficult league to predict. It is rarely possible to rely entirely on the previous season's performances, with high turnover and a cyclical system for clubs in terms of wins most of the time. While some clubs perform well over time, such as the Golden State Warriors over the last decade, many clubs can spring surprises, particularly thanks to effective recruitment, such as Luka Doncic 2 seasons ago for the Lakers.
Anyone can beat anyone, and the statistics are constantly changing between games. This makes it more difficult to bet than in other leagues, even if some victories can be predicted, such as OKC winning the NBA championship in 2025.
