The NBA Finals are almost upon us, but the matchup is not etched in stone just yet. The Timberwolves sit at 0-3 in this series, as the Mavericks hope to take care of business in Game 4.
While bettors have plenty of options to attack Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, they aren’t limited to Saturday’s matchup. DraftKings Sportsbook bettors can take their pick on who will win the series, or leapfrog the Western Conference Finals altogether and back the Mavericks or Timberwolves to win the NBA Finals. Or, for those who aren’t certain who will win this series, there’s still a way to start betting the NBA Finals via DraftKings Sportsbook.
Under the Team Futures market, there’s a Winner Specials section that allows bettors to back which conference the 2024 champion will come out of rather than a specific team. In that same section, bettors can get a little more creative and choose to back whether or not a first-time champion will be crowned this year. Bettors who play “YES” would need the Pacers or Timberwolves to win it all. (“NO” would hit if the Celtics or Mavericks win the 2024 title.)
There’s also a Playoff Specials section, but it doesn’t end there. DraftKings Sportsbook bettors can also find a Record Breakers market, which provides options for points, assists, rebounds and threes. With these options, any player from any of the four remaining teams could break the listed record for the play to hit — bettors can only play “YES” on each. Here’s a look at the records and each play’s odds on “YES”:
- Michael Jordan’s 63 points: +3,000
- Magic Johnson’s 24 assists: +100,000
- Wilt Chamberlain’s 41 rebounds: +100,000
- Damian Lillard’s 12 three-pointers: +10,000
