As you know, DraftKings SportsBook is SB Nation/Vox Media’s official sportsbook for you to place your bets on games in the NBA, WNBA, and other professional sports leagues here in the USA and worldwide.
We’ll post more on the odds later tonight for the game. But I’ll let you all in on something if you aren’t one who really bets on sports games. As today’s NBA has become more data-driven, sports betting, including NBA games, allows you to bet on granular details, such as the players who will score the most points and who will score the most in a particular quarter, etc.

Tonight’s expected top scorer in the first quarter

What other stats can be bet on?
The stats include three-pointers, rebounds and assists. DraftKings SportsBook also allows you to bet on player combos, which is how you can determine how many points and/or assists and/or rebounds a player will get in a game. Bets can also be done on whether a player will get a double-double or a triple-double.
If you decide to bet on the game, good luck!
