NELSBET Odds for the 2025-26 Season

Another year is about to kick-off in the NSL and with the NBA season about to start, what better time to release the NELSBET NSL Specials for the upcoming season. Last season was full of surprises, including a first-time champion being crowned- GM Josh of the Washington Wizards. The market is reflecting new risers coming in NSL land as the West appears to be a foregone conclusion by looking at the odds, while out in the East there appears to be an awakened sleeping giant poised to take on the might of the defending champions. Get in before tip-off to secure the best possible odds and as always, gamble responsibly.

NSL Championship Odds

The Championship odds are taking place with punters anticipating another first-time champion for the third successive year. The LA Lakers fresh off the Wembanyama acquisition have hit top of the table as odds-on favourite to win the 2025-26 Championship. Punters love the look of an Amen Thompson-Zion Williamson-Kawhi Leonard-Wembanyama Big-4 which has the rest of the league looking on with fear and envy. Only a few things stand in their way- health, health and the defending champions who sit 2nd on the chart.

Fresh off the Championship the Washington Wizards are in a wonderful position to go back-to-back. Most free agents appear signed already (in pencil) and the champs are in a great position to run it back with a little extra. Lebron will be on the sidelines early in the season which will give Booker a chance to shine, but the big question will be on what Jrue looks like in his new NBA destination. The team looks vetted and hungry to be the first team to go back-to-back in NSL history.

LA Lakers $2.00
Washington Wizards $3.20
Milwaukee Bucks $3.60
Cleveland Cavaliers $4.00
Utah Jazz $4.50
Charlotte Hornets $5.05

To Win the Eastern Conference

The Eastern Conference has been the one to watch in previous years, crowning the previous two NSL champions in the Daz-led Bucks and the Washington Wizards. This year it appears to be a Conference still ascending with GM Ethan and the Bucks taking a swing to climb to the very pinnacle with the acquisition of Brandon Ingram to a Championship calibre squad. GM Shams of the Cavaliers added a league MVP in Steph Curry during the offseason and will be built to go one better than last season when they missed the Finals in devastating fashion- losing in 7 to the eventual champs. The Hornets have assembled a wonderful big 3 in Towns, Ja Morant and Pascal Siakam and will have the depth to be one of the best regular season teams in the competition. Will GM Craig be able to go the distance in the playoffs? Don’t forget about the 76ers who have one of the most stacked and user-friendly teams in the NSL. GM Nenjamin continues to ascend and will have a big chance to rise to the absolute pinnacle- value at $5.80. Rounding out the top tier are the Indiana Pacers who have one of the deepest rosters in the league with room for growth behind their young stars! Will GM Yeet finally back up the talk with some walk?

Looking for value? Don’t sleep on the Knicks with Durant, the new-look Raptors, the ascending Miami Heat, Brooklyn Nets or the proven and always dangerous Chicago Bulls above $8 is supreme value.  Somehow the Celtics are right down the list with Tatum sidelined, all reports say a mid-season return. Value? The Hawks, Magic and Pistons all continue to build and will surprise most if they feature in the postseason.

Washington Wizards $2.40
Milwaukee Bucks $2.90
Cleveland Cavaliers $3.80
Charlotte Hornetts $4.10
Philadelphia 76ers $5.80
Indiana Pacers $6.00
New York Knicks $8.15
Toronto Raptors $8.30
Miami Heat $8.50
Chicago Bulls $8.80
Brooklyn Nets $9.00
Boston Celtics $12.20
Atlanta Hawks $18.00
Orlando Magic $19.50
Detroit Pistons $39.00

To Win the Western Conference

The Western Conference has several question marks going into this season. Perhaps the only team without one is the sure favourite LA Lakers who have ascended to favourites in the Championship market as discussed above. The Utah Jazz have received an influx of money with sources confirming Embiid is in career best shape. If GM Jase can keep their star alive and revive one of the best cores in the NSL, this team will be great value at $2.40. The resilient SA Spurs are never to be counted out as their run last year proves, however a lack of a true star to run with Giannis has punters sceptical. The Thunder, under new management, provide value at $3.50, however the market are waiting to see how Cake Bandito’s amazing roster fares against the very best once competition starts. Don’t sleep on GM Andrew the ascending Clippers who might have the 3rd best roster in the West with no real health question marks, worth a flutter at $3.65.

The Nuggets and Pelicans can always be relied upon to be there when it matters, while punters are awaiting to see what their final rosters look like post FA and trades, the calibre of their GMs is never to be doubted. The people’s KANGS (Sacramento) apparently look elite in their scrimmages and morale is high with multiple extensions. What will the Portland Trailblazers do? They’re probably good enough already to make a space, punters want to back the world’s best GM but he’s sending mixed messages. Wolves and Rockets were right up there last season and offer elite value at $7+. The Grizzlies and Suns sit a tier below but have the leadership to match the best of the best. LJ and the Mavs are doing 360s in their kayak out on the lake.

LA Lakers $1.41
Utah Jazz $2.40
SA Spurs $2.95
OKC Thunder $3.50
LA Clippers $3.65
Denver Nuggets $3.80
New Orleans Pelicans $5.00
Sacramento Kings $6.00
Portland Trailblazers $6.10
Minnesota Timberwolves $7.00
Houston Rockets $7.50
Golden State Warriors $9.00
Memphis Grizzlies $9.60
Phoenix Suns $11.00
Dallas Mavericks $41.00
