What is the Point Spread in NBA betting?
In an NBA game, the most common market to bet on is the Point Spread. Because basketball games rarely feature two evenly matched teams, bookies use the Point Spread to ‘level up' the event.
Rather than having to win the game (as with the MoneyLine), the favorite team in the Point Spread must win by a certain number of points (the spread) in order for a wager on them to win.
For example, the favorite side might have a -5.5 Point Spread (the half-point is commonly referred to as a "hook"), ensuring that there is no chance of a tie. That means a bet on them would have to win by a margin of at least six points.
In this case, the underdog would have a Point Spread of +5.5, which means that a wager on them to win would have to either win or lose by no more than 5 points.
