To kick things off, VSiN Senior Editor Zachary Cohen shares his thoughts on the upcoming season, the biggest storylines to watch, and what readers can expect from this year’s guide.

Here’s his introduction from the 2026-27 VSiN NBA Betting Guide:


With the start of the 2026-27 NBA season comes the start of New York’s title defense. The Knicks ended a 53-year championship drought last season, and Jalen Brunson and Co. will now attempt to win two in a row. Unfortunately for them, they won’t have it easy.

Philadelphia added Jaylen Brown and LeBron James to a core of Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid, Indiana has Tyrese Haliburton back from his torn Achilles, Boston has a ton of talent surrounding Jayson Tatum, Miami added Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Toronto brought Kawhi Leonard back. The Western Conference also remains a beast, with Oklahoma City and San Antonio leading the pack.

We get into all that, and more, in the VSiN NBA Betting Guide. Hopefully you found some profitable nuggets in last year’s guide, but we’re here to dish out some new ones. Keep reading for:

  • Trends and power ratings, from Steve Makinen
  • Best bets and futures, from VSiN hosts and analysts
  • How Draft Lottery changes could affect win totals, from Zachary Cohen
  • Most Improved Player handicapping, from Kelley Bydlon
