My favorite post of every NBA season is back. Welcome to year four of my Favorite NBA Bets series.

As you can see below, we’ve had a ton of success over the last three seasons, and I’m fired up to roll out this year’s picks. Some of our past highlights:

14-4 on Over/Unders

3/3 on MVP picks

A 20-1 preseason Finals cash (the 4th-highest preseason title odds to hit in the last 20 years)

A 16-1 Sixth Man of the Year cash

A 15-1 In-Season Tournament winner

And that’s not even counting all the close calls. You can check out my 2023-2025 seasons below for the full history.

This year, we’re going even bigger. Five Over/Unders, another 60+ win bet, plays on both the NBA Finals and NBA Cup, the usual MVP pick, and a handful of longshots sprinkled in. It’s the most I’ve ever posted in a preseason.
