5 Biggest NBA Futures Movers (Last 30 Days)

📈 Gainers

Charlotte Hornets — +436.4% Pct Change (Last 30 Days) — $454 Bet Value Today based on $100 Preseason bet Consensus Odds

The Hornets have been one of the biggest surprises in the league. After opening at +30000 to win the NBA Finals, they’ve surged to +10000 following a nine-game win streak that has them firmly in the Play-In conversation. Rookie Kon Knueppel has been the X-factor, averaging 19.2 PPG on 48.7% shooting and 43.5% from three. What was once a lottery-bound team is suddenly one of the league’s hottest risers in the futures market.

Cleveland Cavaliers — +112.1% (Last 30 Days) — $62 Bet Value Today

The biggest catalyst behind Cleveland’s rise was the February 4 blockbuster deal that swapped Darius Garland for 11-time All-Star James Harden. Since January 21, the Cavs have won 12 of their last 14 games, vaulting themselves into serious contention in the East. The market has responded accordingly, pricing them as a legitimate threat to make a deep playoff run.

📉 Losers

Los Angeles Clippers — -82.1% (Last 30 Days) — $5 Bet Value Today

The Clippers entered the season at +1800 to win the Finals but quickly fell short of expectations. After a brutal start, they pivoted into sell mode at the deadline, moving Ivica Zubac and James Harden which is a clear signal that contention is off the table. Now sitting at +35000 on Fanduel, the market has completely abandoned their title hopes.

Atlanta Hawks — -73.9% (Last 30 Days) — $6 Bet Value Today

A common theme among the biggest “losers” is selling off franchise cornerstones. The Hawks parted ways with Trae Young and Kristaps Porzingis at the deadline, officially shifting toward a rebuild. The future now revolves around rising star Jalen Johnson, but in the short term, their championship odds have cratered.

Dallas Mavericks- -72.1% Pct Change (Last 30) - $1 Bet Value today

Nico Harrison has single-handedly steered this franchise into chaos. Between Anthony Davis eventually going down with injury and Kyrie Irving’s return this season remaining uncertain, the Mavericks’ year has unraveled from a winning standpoint. What was supposed to be a contender has quickly turned into a lost season. The one silver lining? Dallas may have a generational cornerstone in 19-year-old Cooper Flagg, a talent capable of reshaping the franchise’s future.
