NBA Playoff History & 10K NBA Playoffs Bracket Contest!
History has made its way into the 2023 NBA Playoffs. For the first time ever, the Association will witness all four California-based teams in the postseason tournament.
However, only one is favored to get out of the first round of the playoffs, and that team is pitted against another Cali club.
So, we raise the question, which West Coast team will keep their championship dreams alive the longest?
See current odds below, plus check out the $10,000 NBA Playoffs Bracket Contest from BetOnline and sportsbetting.ag sportsbooks (complete specs below).

To qualify for the prizes, participants must wager a minimum of $25 on each round of the NBA Playoffs (1st Round, Conference Semifinals, Conference Finals, and NBA Finals).
The Top 500 will win a piece of the $10,000 prize pool; the payout breakdown is as follows:
In the event that the tie-breaker is necessary, participants will be ranked based on having the closest answer to the Total Points Scored in the clinching game of the NBA Finals.
If various participants tie, the tie-breaker question will be used to determine the final standings of the contest.
If various participants remain in a tie after the tie-breaker, the winnings will be split along with the next lowest prize.
Example: If two contestants tie for first with 30 points, they will split the 1st and 2nd Place prizes; the participant with the next highest point total will win the 3rd Place prize.
Winnings are awarded as Sportsbook Free Play with a three-time (3x) rollover requirement.
Winnings will be deposited into our player's account within 72 hours after the completion of the NBA Finals.
Winnings are non-transferable.
