NBA Betting heating up, Olympic basketball tournaments almost over
With the men’s and women’s olympic basketball tournaments almost over, a couple of the sports betting sites are turning their attention to the 2024-2025 NBA season with NBA specials. Bet99 and Sports Interaction released specials for the upcoming NBA season. The men’s Olympic basketball semifinal and final are scheduled for August 10. The women’s semifinal and final are scheduled for August 11. And the NBA regular season is scheduled to start on October 22.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has played well for Canada at these Olympics, leading the Canadian team to a 3-0 record in the group stage and securing a spot in the next round. His play in the NBA over the last couple of seasons and his performance in Paris should make him an attractive pick for NBA regular season MVP this upcoming season for many bettors, especially Canadians. Canadian Zach Edey was the number nine pick — selected by the Memphis Grizzlies — in this year’s draft and also has high expectations.
