Basketball is a specific sport where one player's performance often influences the match result more than it does in football.
Whatever your strategy is, Flashscore will be a useful companion for the next six-plus months when thinking through your bets. Read five reasons why!
1. Quick Player Overview
What better place to start than with Flashscore's new Follow Player feature? In the app, you can add up to 100 players to your favourites and have a perfect overview of them. When you get a notification, you can quickly find out how a player performed in their completed game.
This is an excellent tool for fans, but also for bettors. In the recent games overview, you have a user-friendly summary of minutes played, points, rebounds, and assists before the next game. This is useful both for betting on the match and for betting on player statistics, which is a type of bet that has been gaining popularity in recent years. With Flashscore, you have all the information clearly in one place, saving you plenty of time, which you never have enough of when thinking through your bets.
2. Odds That Point to Important Absences
Nikola Jokić, Victor Wembanyama, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Dončić, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant - all these stars missed 10+ games last year. Whatever the reason for frequent injuries, it significantly affects the entire NBA - and betting on it, too. You probably won't get information faster than bookmakers, but you can at least work with odds movements that accompany the absence of big stars, or their returns. You can easily find current odds movements on our site in the match detail under the Odds tab - keep that in mind!
3. Game Start Times in Your Time Zone
When you don't live in the USA, working with game schedules on American sports sites can be painful. On Flashscore, you have your local time set, and NBA game starts are displayed accordingly. This eliminates wondering whether a team played their previous game in the afternoon or evening American time, or whether two upcoming games played on consecutive days have roughly a 24-hour gap or longer. This kind of information is very important in a league where teams fly thousands of miles to games.
4. Quick Results Overview
I'll repeat myself, but at Flashscore we know very well that speed is important for bettors - and we display all important information so you have it right at your fingertips. When you click on a team you want to bet on/against, and then on the ‘Results’ tab, you'll see a useful overview of recent results. There you'll see not only the final scores themselves, but also quarter-by-quarter results. From these, for example, you can quickly find out whether a team came back/lost the game at the end, whether the final score was influenced by so-called garbage time, and so on.
5. Basketball News
Data is key, but context is also important. That's why on Flashscore you can easily click through to the latest news on the team page, where you'll find interesting details complementing all the statistics.
Whether betting is just fun for you or you're making extra money from it, it's good to use every little detail to increase your chances of success. Keep in mind that at the end of the day, you'll see it in your results. As basketball players say: Ball don't lie!
