The NBA playoffs are a treat each and every year for sports bettors, but wagering on which teams will make it has become quite the popular betting market for NBA futures bettors. After the initial odds were released, bettors instantly began wagering. Here is a look at our early betting picks to make the 2022 NBA playoffs, odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

• Washington Wizards +400
• Detroit Pistons +2000
• Minnesota Timberwolves +525
• San Antonio Spurs +1100

These are all long shot picks, as many of the teams are all favorites to make the playoffs. These result in tougher value, but teams like the Wizards, Pistons, and Wolves are worth betting on as plus-money picks given the value. The Pistons at 20/1 makes for a solid bet, due to adding a solid player in Cade Cunningham along with some role players that could push the Pistons to the playoffs.
