The Liga Nacional de Basquet (LNB) (translated as National Basketball League) is the top level basketball league in Argentina. The league is administered by the Asociación de Clubes de Basquetbol (Basketball Clubs' Association).
The LNB was created through the efforts of coach León Najnudel and sports journalist Osvaldo Orcasitas in the 1980s to make Argentine basketball more competitive by merging many existing local leagues.
In LNB over under betting, you are wagering that the game's number of points would either be over or under a specified total. A LNB over under bet looks like:
| Atenas | Over 116 | -115 |
| Peñarol | Under 116 | -105 |
In the example above, betting $115 on "over 116 points" wins you $100 if the game's total points is 117 or more. Meanwhile, betting $105 on "under 116 points" wins you $100 if the game's total points is 115 or less.
If in case the game ends with a total of 116 points, the bookmaker will declare it a push (tie), and all bets are retuned.
The winner of the game is irrelevant to the outcome of the LNB over under bet. All that matters is the score.
The LNB Liga A is structured like the National Basketball Association (NBA), with regular season, all-star game, and playoffs. However, unlike the NBA, the LNB has promotion and relegation with the Torneo Nacional de Ascenso (TNA), the second tier league.
The LNB Liga A is composed of 20 teams, divided into two Conferences, North and South, according to their geographical location.
The regular season is divided in two stages: the first stage consists of a double round-robin between teams on the same Conference only, with standings decided by a points system. On the second stage, each team carries over 100% of the points obtained in the first stage and a new double round-robin starts, this time between all 20 teams, maintaining separate standings for each Conference.
After the regular season ends, the standings in each Conference determine the following playoff seeding:
The Championship Playoffs follow a tournament format, where each team plays against the opponent in a best-of-five series in the Conference quarterfinals, semifinals and finals, and a best-of-seven series in the Championship Finals. The Champion and runner-up earn berths to the following year's FIBA Americas League. The runners-up from each Conference final earn berths to next year's edition of the Liga Sudamericana de Básquetbol, the second-tier league.
