Basketball is one of Twinsbet's core sports, with pre-match and live markets across Lithuania's LKL, the EuroLeague, the EuroCup, the FIBA Champions League, the NBA and NCAA college basketball. The 2026/27 club season opens in September and October, when the LKL and the EuroLeague both start their regular-season schedules.

Which basketball leagues and competitions can you bet on?

  • LKL - the Lithuanian top division, running from autumn through play-offs the following spring
  • EuroLeague - Europe's top club competition, with Žalgiris Kaunas as the Lithuanian representative
  • EuroCup - Europe's second-tier club competition
  • NBA - the North American league, running from October to June
  • FIBA Champions League - an international European men's club competition organised by FIBA. Clubs from across Europe take part, most of them qualifying on the strength of their domestic results. The competition runs through qualifying rounds, a group stage, the play-offs and a final four
  • NCAA - US college basketball, in season from November to April

Point spread (handicap)A points margin added to or subtracted from a team's score

What's the difference between betting on the LKL and the EuroLeague?

The LKL runs a domestic round-robin plus play-off format with fewer teams and a narrower betting menu. The EuroLeague plays a longer regular season against a wider field of European clubs, which usually means deeper markets and more live betting options per matchday. Both competitions sit inside the same basketball section, so switching between them takes one click.

Is NCAA college basketball covered?

Yes. NCAA college basketball markets are available during the US college season, which typically runs from November to April and builds toward the March tournament. Coverage sits alongside the LKL, EuroLeague, EuroCup and NBA in the same basketball menu, with moneyline, spread and totals markets on the main games of the week.

How does live basketball betting work?

Live markets update possession by possession as the score and game flow change. Moneyline, spread and totals markets typically stay open until late in the fourth quarter, closing only once the outcome is no longer in doubt. All Twinsbet sports can be followed live from the same in-play section.

Betting is for persons aged 21 and over and is entertainment, not a source of income. The betting operator lets players monitor their own gambling habits and change their limits at any time.

Commonly Asked Questions

When does the new basketball season start?
The LKL and the EuroLeague both open their 2026/27 regular seasons in September and October. The NBA follows in October and runs through June, while NCAA college basketball starts in November and runs to April. Exact fixture dates for each competition are published on the relevant league page ahead of the opening round.
Which basketball leagues and competitions can I bet on?
Twinsbet covers the Lithuanian LKL, the EuroLeague, the EuroCup, the FIBA Champions League, the NBA and NCAA college basketball, with pre-match and live markets on each. Žalgiris Kaunas, Lithuania's EuroLeague club, is covered throughout the season alongside the rest of the LKL and European fixture list.
What's the difference between a point spread and a moneyline bet in basketball?
A moneyline bet is a straight pick on which team wins the game, with no scoring margin involved. A point spread (handicap) bet adds or subtracts points from a team's final score before the result is settled, which levels out mismatches between a favourite and an underdog.
What is a basketball totals (over/under) bet?
A totals bet is a wager on whether the combined points scored by both teams will go over or under a line set before the game. It doesn't require picking a winner - only whether the final combined score lands above or below the published number.
Can I place live, in-play bets during basketball games?
Yes. Live basketball markets update as the game progresses, with moneyline, spread and totals odds adjusting to the score and flow of play. Most live markets stay open until late in the final quarter, closing once the outcome is effectively decided.
Is NCAA college basketball available for betting?
Yes. NCAA college basketball markets run during the US college season, from November to April, alongside LKL, EuroLeague, EuroCup and NBA coverage in the same basketball section. Moneyline, spread and totals markets are typically available on the season's higher-profile fixtures.
What's the difference between the LKL and the EuroLeague in terms of betting markets?
The LKL is a domestic competition with a narrower betting menu and fewer teams. The EuroLeague draws a wider field of European clubs across a longer regular season, which typically means more markets and more live betting options per round, especially on nights with several fixtures.
What is Early Payout?
Early Payout is an option to settle a winning bet before the basketball game has finished, once the set conditions are met. It can apply only to particular competitions, fixtures or markets. Its availability is not guaranteed and may be changed, suspended or withdrawn following a risk assessment.
