The Phoenix Suns 2022-2023 season was losing steam and their 2023 NBA Finals odds were slipping after going 12-19 through December and January. Then, a trade deadline acquisition brought future hall of famer Kevin Durant to the Valley and with it, new life.
This signing has brought excitement across the board which will also show up in betting on the Suns. The franchise and sports betting have grown synonymous with each other since 2021 thanks to a partnership with FanDuel. Fans who make a trip to watch the Suns play live can place wagers on-site at the Footprint Center.
Here’s everything you need to know about betting on the Phoenix Suns as well as the Suns 2023 NBA odds.
Phoenix Suns 2023 NBA Finals Odds
Thanks to the Durant trade, the Suns saw a dramatic shift to their 2023 NBA Finals odds. Prior to the season-altering move, the Suns’ Finals odds sat at +1800 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Those odds improved to +425 following the breaking news. The Suns-Durant connection had been rumored around the 2023 NBA Draft but nothing materialized.

Caesars takes it a step further with an NBA Championship Exacta bet, allowing you to wager on the finals matchup, winner, and runner-up in one bet.

How To Bet On The Phoenix Suns in Arizona
To bet on the Phoenix Suns, start by finding one of the legal and licensed sportsbooks in Arizona, such as FanDuel or BetMGM. You can register an account from anywhere in the US, but you must be physically located in Arizona (or another state with legalized betting) to place real-money wagers.
- Find your app of choice in the Google Play Store or the App Store and download it to your mobile device.
- Register with the sportsbook by providing basic information and verifying your age and location.
- Deposit funds using a debit card, online bank transfer, or an e-wallet like PayPal. Credit card deposits usually count as cash advance charges, which come with fees. Sportsbooks typically don’t allow you to withdraw to a credit card, either, so you’ll have to make another deposit with a different account in order to withdraw.
- Place your bet on the Phoenix Suns. Always be sure to check for any bonus offers available through the app. Many sportsbooks offer welcome bonus offers to new users. If you win, you can cash out easily via online bank transfer or PayPal. You can also leave the funds in your account to continue betting.
How to Bet on the NBA Finals in Arizona
Sports bettors in Arizona can bet on the 2023 NBA Finals right now through their favorite legally-licensed online sportsbook. While some sportsbooks offer more NBA Finals markets than others, all of them take bets on both singular playoff games as well as futures wagers.
Bettors can place NBA Finals wagers via one of the 16 Arizona mobile apps as well as retail sportsbooks. Not all retail sportsbooks are created equal, however. Some are full-service luxury experiences, like the FanDuel sportsbook found at the Footprint Center, while other casinos simply offer self-service betting kiosks. As sports betting in Arizona continues to grow, you can expect more full-service retail sportsbooks to be built.
At the time of this writing, only futures markets are available. As we get closer to the playoffs starting, more NBA finals betting options will become available.
The Phoenix Suns And FanDuel Partnership
The bill legalizing sports betting in Arizona allows for sportsbooks to create a partnership with a local sports team or tribal entity to open a retail sportsbook and offer online sports betting. The Arizona Department of Gaming approved 20 sports betting licenses in the bill that brought betting to the state. These licenses were split evenly between Arizona’s tribes and local sports franchises, 10 and 10.
FanDuel is one of the leading sports betting competitors, and the brand inked a deal with the Phoenix Suns to create a long-term partnership that includes a sportsbook at the Footprint Center. The sportsbook lounge is now open and is over 7,000 square feet complete with seating and will be open daily, not just during game days. Self-service and full-service kiosks are also available, making it easy to place a bet.
You can also use the FanDuel app inside the arena, as they have partnered with Verizon Wireless to give 5G network access to make the app as reliable and efficient as possible.
