NBA Finals & Playoff Odds
1. Golden State Warriors (-165)
The NBA Finals favorites are still, as they’ve been for the better part of a decade now, the Golden State Warriors. A sideline spatter between Draymond Green and Kevin Durant brought forth questions of whether this was the start of the end for the Warriors run, the simple answer is no. While dysfunction may still exist internally, the Warriors have been business as usual when it comes to on-court play. The Warriors are still the most talented team in the NBA by a wide margin, and that margin continues to grow with Steph Curry’s mind-boggling play. Curry is averaging career best in points and 3-point %. Golden State is just a .5 game out of first place in the West, and will likely sit atop conference rankings by this time next week, and for the foreseeable future.
2. Toronto Raptors (+700)
The Raptors have been doubted for years now, and rightfully so. Yet there may be reason to believe that this isn’t your same ol’ great regular season, self-destruct first round team, as in years past. Toronto has swapped out an All-Star in DeMar DeRozan for a top-5 player in the world, Kawhi Leonard. Leonard has added a sense of confidence that Toronto has lacked in recent memory. The Raptors own the NBA’s best record, and rank in the top nine of total offense and defense. Betting sites odds are proving what we already know, Toronto is the current favorite to come out of the East.
3. Milwaukee Bucks (+2000)
Milwaukee is a game and a half behind Toronto for first place in the East, and they roster the league’s most versatile, and possibly best, player in Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak is the front-runner for league MVP, as he spearheads the NBA’s top rated offensive unit. Milwaukee’s length causes matchup concerns for any team in basketball, and that includes the team ranked number one on this list, as is evident by their 23-point victory over Golden State earlier this season. The top betting sites still doubt Milwaukee as true contenders, but you shouldn’t. Place your bets now before these odds go up.
