From there, three rounds are played and eventually this results in just a single team remaining from each conference. These pairs of teams then advance to the NBA Finals.

For example, if the Los Angeles Lakers are a -12.5 spread favourite to win, the team would have to win the game by 13 points or more.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\"\u003eTotals (Over/Under)\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a basketball totals bet simply means betting on any basketball market focusing on the total number of the final score. For example, if the Celtics and Raptors have an over/under total of 112.5 points, and you were to bet the over, the teams would need to combine for 113 points or more for the bet to hit.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\"\u003eParlays/ACCAs\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSubmitting a basketball acca bet means combining more than one bet. For example, a three-leg basketball parlay bet could include a Nuggets win, over 101.5 total points, and over 12.5 rebounds from Nikola Jokic. In this case, all three bets would need to independently hit to register as a win (even though they're connected).\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\"\u003eLive Basketball Betting\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGet the \u003ca href=\"https://www.talksportbet.com/en-gb/live/overview\"\u003ebest In-Play Basketball Betting Odds\u003c/a\u003e and bet on live basketball!
