NBA Western Conference Winner

Before the social media saga and then injury to Ja Morant the Grizzlies were one of the best teams in the league finishing 2nd in the Western Conference in 22-23 on 51 wins. With Ja back to full health and the team comparatively better than that 22-23 team there is no reason to suggest the Grizz should be so far down the pecking order in the West. 

NBA Eastern Conference Winner


New York Knicks - $4.00Eastern Conference ChampionsBet Here
18+ only. Ts and Cs apply. Think ! About your choices. Call Gambling Help on 1800 858 858 or visit the website. All bets accepted on behalf of PlayUp Interactive Pty Ltd Licensed in Northern Territory, Australia by NT Racing Commission. www.gamblinghelp.nsw.gov.au

New York have drastically improved their team with the addition of Karl-Anthony Towns. The big man traded over from Minnesota offers size and shooting from the perimeter, opening up space in the driving lanes for Jalen Brunson, something Julius Randle could never do. Despite losing the 5 assists per night that Randle provided to the Knicks they should be seen as a better overall team with other players now able to step more into the limelight for a more rounded offence. 

Rookie of the Year


Reed Sheppard $6.00 via PlayUp

Zach Edey is justifiably the odds on favourite to win this award and if Memphis succeed as I think they will he will be a big part of that success, but should that not happen and Edey succumbs to injury as many big men have before him then Reed Sheppard is right there to clean up this award. Sheppard has impressed in Summer League and Pre-season with his athletic ability and sharp shooting. The rookie has also made his presence felt on the defensive end which will no doubt be looked upon favourably come voting time.

Sixth Man of the Year


Donte DiVincenzo $11.00 via PlayUp

Now there is a chance that DiVincenzo might not be eligible for this award if he starts too many games for the T-Wolves but this is all about betting and we are betting he will be coming off the bench running the 2nd unit. DiVincenzo has been moved around the league recently but not because of his lack of skill or personality, because he is such a valuable piece to many puzzles. Last season for the Knicks he played 81 games, starting 63 - averaging 29 minutes per game for 15.5 pts, 3.7 reb, 2.7 ass to 1.4 tov and 1.3 stl. He is a sharp shooter hitting over 40% from beyond the arc last season and can light up arenas exactly like a 6th man should do.

Coach of the Year


Taylor Jenkins $10 via PlayUp

This one is mainly a tail on the Western Conference Winner, if/when the Grizzlies finish atop the conference there is no doubt that Jenkins will receive this award. It is otherwise, according to me impossible to foresee who could win because it is so rooted in expectations and outcomes.


NBA 2024-25 Win Totals


Pre-season win totals are our favourite future bets. Looking at the success of last season, the talent on the roster, the draft, the free-agency - everything combined to produce a play on either the over or the under.
