Only one entry per household is allowed and prizes cannot be transferred or exchanged. The consolation winners will be the top 20 scores every week. Moreover, the contestant that picks the perfect week, meaning that all picks for that week won the exact tiebreaker total – will win $10,000.
If more than one person wins the grand prize of $10,000, the prize will be equally split among the winners. Consolation prizes will be given out weekly to the top 20 scoring clients. In case of a tie, the prize will be equally split among the winners and the monetary amount for consolation prizes is based on the amount of entries. Winners will be notified via email within 48 hours of the weekly contest being final. Additionally, all entries must have a valid email address and should a winning notification be undeliverable, it will result in disqualification. The judge’s decision is final here and no rollover attached.

Perhaps the team to watch more than any other this year is the Oklahoma City Thunder. Led by reigning Finals MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder have an excellent core of players that makes them the odds-on favorite not only at BetNow, but a variety of other sites that have markets on professional basketball too. Per sources, at an average of 25.6 years old, they were the second youngest team to win an NBA Championship, behind only the 1976-77 Portland Trail Blazers. Their Finals victory was the first championship of any major professional sport in the state of Oklahoma.
Moreover, the same article points out, the Thunder also became the fourth team in NBA history to win 84 games or better in a single season, including playoff victories (the Chicago Bulls did it twice, followed by the Golden State Warriors). With the return of Chet Holmgren from injury, the Thunder again exceeded their win expectations behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Holmgren, and second-year forward Jalen Williams. Gilgeous-Alexander finished second in MVP voting behind 30.1 points on a career high 53.5% field goal percentage. Prior to that, the Thunder finished the 2023-24 season 57-25 to finish first in the Northwest Division, first in the Western Conference for the first time since 2013 and qualified for the playoffs for the first time since 2020. The race will be a competitive one but the Thunder are the team to beat.
