In this article we will take a look at the futures bets received for the 2021 NBA season. The report will show the top five teams for the totals tickets wagered as well as the total money wagered.
The NBA regular season got underway this week after a short break between the 2020 season and the 2021 season. With such a late start, along with the covid effect as well as all the fans lost during the SJW movement, it is yet to be seen if the NBA will bounce back from all-time ratings lows.
The Christmas games are usually a really big draw for the NBA but some experts are predicting more rating hemorrhaging for the NBA.
