The current NBA title odds break down into four main tiers:

Favorites (+240 to +750)

  • Brooklyn Nets (+240)
  • Los Angeles Lakers (+350)
  • Los Angeles Clippers (+650)
  • Utah Jazz (+700)
  • Milwaukee Bucks (+750)

The Nets lead as favorites with their Durant-Harden-Irving trio, despite limited games together. Lakers follow closely with Davis back and LeBron returning soon. Utah's league-best record has elevated them to true contender status.

Strong Contenders (+1200 to +6000)

  • Philadelphia 76ers (+1200)
  • Phoenix Suns (+2000)
  • Denver Nuggets (+3500)
  • Miami Heat (+3800)
  • Dallas Mavericks (+4000)
  • Boston Celtics (+5000)
  • Portland Trail Blazers (+6000)

The 76ers and Suns stand out as second-seeds in their conferences. Denver remains competitive despite Murray's injury, thanks to MVP frontrunner Jokic.

Longshots (+10000 to +50000)

  • Atlanta Hawks/New York Knicks (+10000)
  • Indiana/Memphis/Toronto (+15000)
  • Bulls/Warriors/Pelicans/Spurs (+25000)
  • Hornets/Wizards (+50000)

Notable mentions include the defensive-minded Knicks and Curry-led Warriors.

See You Next Season (+100000 to +150000)

  • Sacramento Kings (+100000)
  • Cavaliers/Pistons/Thunder/Magic (+150000)
