How To Bet On The 2023 NBA Playoffs From Canada

By Basketball

The 2023 NBA Playoffs are set to begin on April 11th with play-in games taking place the first few days, followed by the first round of the NBA Playoffs getting underway on April 15th. The NBA completed a full 82 game season and has kept the play-in format for the third year, with seeds 7 to 10 battling it out for the final two playoff spots in each Conference.

After the play-in games are decided, the NBA Playoffs will follow the typical format with 16 teams qualifying for the tournament and each series being a best of 7. Teams will advance until the NBA Finals get underway on June 1st.

On this page I will provide you with all of the information you need to bet on the 2023 NBA Playoffs. Below I’ve recommended our three top rated betting sites for Canadians, looked at the different bets you can make on the NBA Playoffs, and finished up with a simple 3 step guide you can follow to place your bets online.

I will be using our top rated betting site, SportsInteraction.com, for all betting examples and the how to bet guide below.

The odds for NBA games can vary between sportsbooks, so I suggest comparing odds between our three recommended betting sites to ensure you get the best return on each wager.

NBA Series Betting

You have the option to bet on the winner of any series during the NBA Playoffs. I personally prefer betting on the series winner rather than individual games because you get the entertainment value of the bet for the entire series, and the best team normally wins an NBA Playoff series so if your prediction is correct your bet will likely be a winner.

Here is a screenshot of the series odds for the Knicks vs Cavaliers round 1 series. **Odds taken on April 10th – before the series began.

**I also included the Series Handicap odds in the screenshot.

At SportsInteraction.com you will find the ‘Series Winner’ odds at the bottom of the ‘NBA Games’ page. If you click through to the Series specific page you will also find the series handicap, series correct score, and series total games betting lines.

NBA Championship Futures Betting

You can bet on the NBA Champion at anytime throughout the NBA Playoffs. The odds will change as teams get eliminated and each teams perceived chances of winning the title increase or decrease.

Here are the odds for the NBA Champion heading into the 2023 NBA Playoffs. **Odds taken on April 10th.

The above odds can be found in the ‘NBA Futures’ section of either website. You can also bet on the Conference Winners in that section.

NBA Playoff Game Betting

The main bets on an NBA Playoff game are still the spread, money line (to win) and over/under, but there are also a wide variety of extra prop bets you can make during the playoffs.

Here’s a screenshot of the most common bets you can make for the play-in game between the Raptors and Bulls. You can click on the game title to see the full list of props available for the game.

    1. They will likely be unavailable while NBA playoff games are being played. I’m looking now and see them available at both sites, so if you want to bet the futures markets you should do so in the morning before the NBA Playoff games start for that day.
