NBA EV Results: Our EV Betting Tools Can Make You Thousands
Here are the latest EV results for all NBA bets with an OS Rating of at least 2, covering the full range of sportsbooks, timeframes, and expected win and EV ranges:
Overall, NBA bets with a decent OS Rating have been yielding an impressive 5.3% return on investment. This means that if you followed every bet with the recommended bet size, you’d be up $25,742 from NBA bets alone this season!
However, keep in mind that different portfolios and betting markets can yield different returns. The above EV results span a variety of timeframes, including up to a week ahead of time.
Given that NBA games happen nightly, narrowing the timeframe offers a clearer picture of short-term performance. Here’s a breakdown of the EV results when restricting NBA bets to just two hours before game start, again focusing on bets with an OS Rating of 2 or higher:
It’s worth noting that some of these results have smaller sample sizes than others (most notably steals), so the ROI data there is eventually going to level closer to full historical ROI. That said, the results have been particularly strong in virtually every individual NBA prop market.
Next we’ll take a closer look at which sportsbooks are yielding the best returns for NBA bets:
| Sportsbook | Wins | Losses | Average OS Rating | Bet Amount | Profit | Actual ROI |
| BetMGM | 673 | 546 | 5.2 | $19,623 | $1,202 | 6.1% |
| BetRivers | 729 | 602 | 5.9 | $22,197 | $1,580 | 7.1% |
| Caesars | 210 | 168 | 4.6 | $5,743 | $262 | 4.6% |
| DraftKings | 1,179 | 824 | 5.7 | $33,571 | $3,722 | 11.1% |
| ESPN BET | 136 | 109 | 4.4 | $3,698 | $153 | 4.1% |
| Fanatics | 67 | 34 | 4.5 | $1,540 | $442 | 28.7% |
| FanDuel | 425 | 387 | 4.8 | $12,372 | $298 | 2.4% |
| Fliff | 353 | 240 | 5.8 | $10,234 | $1,160 | 11.3% |
| Hard Rock | 758 | 575 | 5.6 | $22,172 | $1,922 | 8.7% |
| STNSports | 293 | 234 | 7.6 | $9,722 | $1,014 | 10.4% |
| SugarHouse | 740 | 603 | 5.9 | $22,410 | $1,666 | 7.4% |
| Unibet | 734 | 596 | 5.9 | $22,124 | $1,619 | 7.3% |
Results from these sportsbooks show strong ROI across the board for NBA betting, though there’s some variation, particularly when comparing different sportsbooks and sample sizes. While FanDuel seems to be doing a better job of avoiding market inefficiency, other sportsbooks are still delivering solid returns.
For example, DraftKings bets have an impressive 11.1% ROI from over 2,000 bets with an OS Rating of 2, two hours before game start. This is a remarkable result given the sample size. On the other hand, Caesars has only 378 qualifying bets and returned a more modest 4.6%. This highlights the importance of getting the best possible odds and lines to ensure long-term profitability, as the market dynamics can vary between sportsbooks.
Regardless of which books you prefer, it’s clear that Portfolio EV is killing it in the 2024-25 season. Of course, even one season’s worth of data is just a snapshot, and as we continue to develop our tools and historical ROI data, we expect results to evolve. Keep in mind, even if you’re up 28.7% on your Fanatics NBA bets right now, this is a long-term game — don’t get too carried away.
That said, we’re excited about how Portfolio EV is performing in NBA betting, and if these trends hold up, compounding returns should follow as the season progresses.
