FanDuel partners with Amazon Prime for NBA and WNBA

Sportsbook and betting giant FanDuel has announced a partnership with Amazon’s Prime streaming service to become the official odds provider for the NBA and WNBA.

The news marks a landmark win for the North American betting heavyweight on the eve of the new season, which starts on 21 October.

Blake Griffin, the former six-time NBA All-Star, 2011 Rookie of the Year, and dunk contest winner, will lead the broadcast coverage.

Reigning champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder (OKC), spearheaded by Shai-Gilgeous Alexander, last season’s MVP, take on league legend Kevin Durant’s newest basketball home in the form of the Houston Rockets.

FanDuel will be gearing up to promote the season opener on Prime, and this will be a test of the current champions against the betting world’s next hotly tipped team to take the league and championships under the watchful eye of mercurial coach Ime Udoka.
