The NBA play-in tournament begins Tuesday and our FanDuel promo code will unlock $150 in bonus bets after you place a $5 bet. This offer is available in all FanDuel Sportsbook states, including the newly-launched Massachusetts.
All you have to do is create an account and place your first wager of at least $5. Then, you’ll automatically get $150 in bonus bets deposited directly into your account whether your first bet wins or loses.
If you’re not in Massachusetts, you can still take advantage of this lucrative new-customer offer. The same rules apply. All you need to do is sign up with FanDuel Sportsbook and place a first bet of at least $5. Then, whether your bet wins or loses, FanDuel will deposit $150 in bonus bets into your account.
So what is a bonus bet? It’s a simple bet credit that you place like you would any other bet, but you only keep the winnings — not the stake itself. So, if you bet $10 on something that is +500 and that bet wins, you would keep the $50 you won, but not the $10 bonus stake that went along with it.
How to bet on the NBA Play-In Tournament
Use FanDuel promo code for a two-team money line parlay
Tonight will be one of the most fun NBA nights of the 2022-23 season thus far. The Play-In Tournament is kicking off, and with that, comes our first dose of truly meaningful NBA basketball — basketball with actual stakes. If you want to add more stakes, consider throwing some bets in. Looking for a good idea? We’ve got you covered.
The first game of the night features the Miami Heat and the Atlanta Hawks. This game will be played in Miami, and I love the home team to come away with a win here. It’s simple: The Heat are a much better basketball team than the Hawks, and in recent games, Trae Young has had no answer for Miami’s defense. They’re too athletic and too savvy for him to manipulate, and they’ve made it hard on him to play efficient basketball.
The Heat are -205 on FanDuel, so let’s throw them in this hypothetical parlay.
The second game of the night features a questionable Timberwolves squad in L.A. to play LeBron James and the Lakers. After what transpired in the final regular season game for the Wolves (Rudy Gobert punching his teammate and Jalen McDaniels punching a wall and breaking his hand), most people have moved off the Wolves. I get it, but hear me out.
Gobert’s suspension could be a positive thing for this Wolves team. His absence allows the Wolves to space the floor better, play small when needed and open up driving lanes for their best player, Anthony Edwards. Against the Pelicans on Sunday, after Gobert went out, the Wolves seemed to rally around one another, and they came away with an incredible win on Edwards’ shoulders. He’s ready for this moment.
It worries me mostly that McDaniels broke his hand, but I think the Wolves will figure it out for this game. In a one-game, winner-moves-on scenario, anything can happen. The Wolves are +315 on the moneyline tonight. It’ll be a tough game for them to win, but there’s too much value there to not take it.
If you parlay the Heat money line with the Wolves money line, FanDuel offers you +517 odds. That’s the best way to reasonably maximize your potential payout.
