Let’s examine the five most popular bets for the NBA title:
- Nuggets (+800): Jokic is averaging a triple-double and is -300 to win his third straight MVP. Denver hit 40 wins before the All-Star break for the first time in franchise history.
- Warriors (+1600): Maybe they pull off the same rope-a-dope as last year, when they entered the playoffs at +950 and ran the table.
- Bucks (+420): Giannis is unstoppable and they just beat the Celtics – albeit barely and unimpressively, considering the lack of Jayson Tatum.
- Celtics (+225): This is a hungry bunch after falling in last year’s Finals. And how about Boston’s depth? Sam Hauser, come on down!
- Lakers (+5000): LeBron and sulking AD are still front and center. But at 27-32, they need to make some birdies and eagles️♂️ down the stretch.
