With 2024 NBA title futures hot off the presses, let’s check out the 10 teams that have started off with the lowest odds to win it all.
Nuggets (+400): The defending champs are expected to return their full starting five for the 2023-24 season. They’re not going anywhere.
Celtics (+550): Boston has 61 playoff victories since Jaylen Brown entered the league in 2016-17, which is behind only the Warriors with 68 over that span.
Bucks (+650): Milwaukee moved on from a head coach who couldn’t get it done in the playoffs … except for the NBA title that one time.
Suns (+800): Is the Western Conference ready for a full season of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker?
76ers (+1200): Joel Embiid led the league in scoring again, and new head coach Nick Nurse’s creativity could get this franchise to the next step.
Warriors (+1400): Golden State is expected to return its usual core of stars. Unfortunately, the Warriors are expected to play 41 road games again next regular season.
Lakers (+1600): LeBron and AD are back, but guards Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell are both free agents.
Mavericks (+2000): The road to the title requires reaching the playoffs, which the Mavs declined ❌ this past season.
Clippers (+2000): Injuries have derailed the Kawhi Leonard and Paul George experience in L.A., and they’re running out of time in this potential championship window.
Heat (+2000): Miami has reached the conference finals three times and NBA Finals twice in four years with Jimmy Butler leading the way.
