The 2020-21 NBA season has arrived sooner than expected, and DraftKings is kicking off the season with an exciting new offer.

The Brooklyn Nets are likely to face the Golden State Warriors on December 22, while the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers are set to play each other in Los Angeles.

Here is what the NBA opening night has in store for the Illinois sports betting market.

Sleigh, the extended NBA no-brainer

Whether you are a novice or experienced user, you have the opportunity to double your money as long as your team does not lose 75 points.

You have the option to wager on any of the following four teams: Warriors, Nets, Lakers, or Clippers.

If you choose the Nets, your winnings will be doubled as long as Brooklyn does not lose by more than 75 points. The maximum bet is $25, and the +75 point spread will increase the odds to make them even more favorable.

The promotion expires on December 22 and does not apply to live bets, parlays, or bonus wagers.

The top NBA betting odds are available at Illinois online sportsbooks. Each game is anticipated to be highly competitive.

The Clippers and Lakers are scheduled to play at 9 p.m. CST, while the Nets and Warriors are set to tip off at 6 p.m.

Both contests may be broadcasted by TNT.

Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Paul George, and Kawhi Leonard are all gearing up to make their highly anticipated season debuts in what promises to be an electrifying night of NBA action filled with star power.

Durant, who sat out the entire previous season because of an Achilles injury, could potentially play against the Warriors for the first time since leaving Golden State.

James Wiseman, the 2nd overall pick selected by the Warriors in the November draft, could potentially make his debut on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, 26 NBA teams will begin their seasons, which is the day following today.

The Bulls start the year on December 23.

The Chicago Bulls, who have been performing well in the preseason, will begin their regular season schedule on Wednesday at home against the Atlanta Hawks. According to FanDuel, Chicago is listed as a +2 underdog.

There seems to be no spectators allowed in the United Center at the start of the season.

The Bulls have +300 odds at DraftKings to reach the playoffs in the less competitive Eastern Conference. For those feeling bold, there is a +20,000 chance of them winning the NBA Championship.

The team’s roster is mostly the same as last year, but the addition of new head coach Billy Donovan is expected to be a major upgrade from Jim Boylen. Rookie Patrick Williams has impressed in the preseason, along with second-year point guard Coby White.

Nevertheless, given that the Bulls failed to reach the NBA bubble last season and finished with a 22-43 record, it may be prudent to set high expectations.

Even though it seems like the NBA has only been gone for a short time, the anticipation of its return is still exciting.
