It's another night of the NBA Cup, as 16 teams take the court for Group Play on Friday. With nonstop action on the hardwood, NBA fans can capitalize on our six NBA sportsbook promos worth up to $5,300 in bonuses.
The season year of the NBA's in-season tournament is off to a tremendous start. Now called the NBA Cup, this tournament brings out the best in teams every Tuesday and Friday this fall. Before betting on any of the eight games on tap this evening, sign up for DraftKings, ESPN BET, BetMGM, bet365, Caesars and FanDuel to qualify for each app's welcome offers and additional NBA offers.
Every night of the NBA has star power and storylines. However, the stakes are even higher for the NBA Cup, as a loss makes it much more difficult to advance to the knockout stage next month.
Most of tonight's games tip off between 7 and 8 p.m. ET. You have Ben Simmons and the Nets returning to Philadelphia to face Joel Embiid and the dysfunctional 76ers, Jayson Tatum and the Celtics lining up as a massive favorite over the Wizards and Stephen Curry leading the charge vs. an injury-riddled Pelicans squad. The other matchups include Hawks vs. Bulls, Trail Blazers vs. Rockets and Pacers vs. Bucks.
Out west, the Nuggets host the Mavericks in Denver at 10:00 p.m. ET. Nikola Jokic is questionable to return for the Nuggets after missing the last few games due to personal reasons, as Denver is a slight favorite against a Dallas team missing star guard Luka Doncic. Lastly, Domantas Sabonis returns for the Kings as they face James Harden and the Clippers in LA.
Here are six of the best NBA sportsbook promos to consider ahead of tonight's NBA Cup festivities:
Bettors who join DraftKings can earn $150 in bonus bets one of two ways. New customers in AZ, CO, CT, IL, IN, MA, ME, NC, OH, PA, WY or WV can bet $5 on any NBA game to receive $150 in bonus bets instantly, win or lose. However, first-time users in DC, IA, KS, KY, LA (select parishes), MD, MI, NJ, NY, TN, VA or VT must win their original $5 bet to score the $150 bonus.
When new ESPN BET customers apply the code DIME, they'll activate a $1,500 First Bet Reset or a $100 bonus. The Reset is available in almost all ESPN BET states, with bettors receiving up to $1,500 back in bonus bets if they lose. However, those in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia will earn $100 in bonus bets after any $10 wager on the NBA Cup.
All ESPN BET customers also receive a free 30-day trial to ESPN+ after signing up with the DIME code.
Get started on BetMGM with a $1,500 First Bet Offer. Apply the code SBD1500 before wagering up to $1,500 on any NBA betting market. If you lose, "The King of Sportsbooks" will pay back every dollar of your stake with bonus bets.
After using the code SBDXLM to register, bet365 will let players pick between two enticing offers. For the 'Bet $5, Get $150," any $5 stake on the NBA or another sport returns $150 in bonus bets. For the $1,000 First Bet Safety Net, bet365 will refund a losing stake with up to $1,000 in bonus bets.
Both offers are available in 10 of the 11 bet365 states (AZ, CO, IN, IA, KY, LA, OH, NJ, NC, VA). If you're in Pennsylvania, the SBDXLM code triggers the "Bet $5, Get $150" deal plus 50 free spins at bet365 Casino.
Another entry on the list of NBA sportsbook promos is a first bet on Caesars. Sign up with the code SBD1000, then bet up to $1,000 on the NBA market with your first cash wager. If you don't win, Caesars will return your stake as a single-use bonus bet to use however you wish over the next 14 days.
Finally, check out FanDuel Sportsbook with a no-brainer offer. First, bet $5 on any game to receive a trial code for three months of NBA League Pass on the house. In addition, a victorious $5 wager on the NBA triggers a $150 payout in bonus bets along with the expected cash profit.
