Finally,
basketball has returned! That’s right: the NBA season is well underway.
So far, there’s been plenty of excitement and disappointments, from the
Celtics rising to the top of the Eastern Conference to the Lakers
massively underperforming and currently sitting as 12th seeds.
What are the best ways to enjoy the 2022-2023 season? There’s still
plenty of time before the playoffs, so you can easily start following
the tips and advice below that will take you from an NBA casual to a
diehard fan.
Bet on NBA Games –
It’s a Lot of Fun
Whether you watch NBA games on ABC or ESPN, you can add some extra
excitement to the occasion by placing some bets.
With NBA betting,
you can place a variety of different bets. These include:
• Spread bets
• Moneyline bets
• Teasers
• NBA Parlays
• Betting on teams to win the NBA Championship or
winning the conference or division.
The two most common types of bets are spread and moneyline.
An NBA spread is when you bet on a team to win or lose by a certain
number of points. For example, if you bet on the Lakers at (-3), then
they will need to win the game by at least 3 points for your bet to be
a success.
Moneyline bets are even simpler than this. A moneyline bet is a case of
betting on which team you think is going to win – simple. If the Bucks
are playing the Warriors and you think the Warriors are going to win,
you can play a moneyline bet on the Warriors, such as $5.
Watch with Friends
It’s incredibly fun to watch NBA games with your friends. You can
gather at one of your homes or a local sports bar to enjoy the action –
whatever your personal preference is. Plus, if you can afford it,
there’s nothing stopping you from attending games in person. For the Lakers,
tickets start at $30 but average closer to $260 per seat when you take
into account the quality and position of the seats.
Buy NBA 2K23
When there are no NBA games streaming on TV, you can pass the time by
playing NBA 2K23,
which is available on consoles (PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X/S),
Nintendo Switch, and PC.
On this game, you can play across lots of exciting games modes, such as
the highly popular myCAREER (where you get to start your own NBA
career). On top of this, you can also compete against other players
online from around the world in 1vs1 games.
If you want to, you can download the free-to-play NBA Live Mobile game
to your smartphone. This game has been downloaded over 100 million
times and is perfect for casual NBA fans who prefer to stick to mobile
games.
Watch Game Recaps
Each week, you can watch and read NBA game recaps through the official
NBA website. This is a great way to stay up-to-date with all the latest
NBA action when you don’t have time to watch all the games. Plus, you
can follow people like Stephen A. Smith and other sports personalities
on Twitter so that you can get instant updates on any important
happenings in the NBA world.
