The 2021-22 NBA season kicks off with the Brooklyn Nets leading championship futures at +230, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers at +400. As defending champions, the Milwaukee Bucks remain strong contenders with +850 odds, while the Golden State Warriors round out the top teams at +1200.

The Nets, despite having the strongest roster with Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving, face uncertainty due to Irving's absence related to vaccine mandate protests. This could shift power towards Western Conference teams like the Lakers and Warriors.

Current NBA Championship Odds:

• Brooklyn Nets: +230
• Los Angeles Lakers: +400
• Milwaukee Bucks: +850
• Golden State Warriors: +1200
• Cleveland Cavaliers: +50000 (lowest in league)

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, championship aspirations aren't realistic this season. Their focus remains on making the playoffs, with +1400 odds to qualify through the play-in tournament. Within the Central Division, they share the lowest odds (+15000) with the Detroit Pistons.

These odds will fluctuate throughout the season, but the Cavaliers are expected to remain far from title contention as they continue rebuilding.
