NBA Playoffs Series Odds for First Round Matchups

The 2024 NBA Playoffs begins on April 20, 2024, with first-round action, and we're providing the latest Betting Trends, Action Reports, Series Odds and Exact Game Prices for all of the matchups.

Check back daily as we update the Straight Up (SU), Against the Spread (ATS) and Over-Under (O/U) betting results for all the upcoming NBA postseason games.

NBA First Round Betting Trends

NBA First Round Playoffs series odds are much more interesting this year than in the past. You've got lower seeds who in the regular season dominated their higher-seeded opponent. From that, a No. 6 seed is favored vs. a No. 3 seed in First Round series odds.

Perhaps the most intriguing series is the No. 6 seed Indiana Pacers vs. No. 3 seed Milwaukee Bucks, as there's a star injury component, too. Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to miss Game 1 and perhaps beyond.
