Favorites for the NBA Championship
The NBA playoffs are now firmly underway which already has many fans guessing as to which teams will emerge as major title favorites and who will step up to secure their team a spot in the NBA finals.
Given that the playoffs have already begun, it is important to highlight which teams are truly the best sides suited to contend for a title with the following being the top favorited teams to win the Larry O'Brien trophy this season according to the latest NBA Championship odds on the DraftKings sportsbook:
Boston Celtics (+270)
Milwaukee Bucks (+290)
Alongside Giannis' dominance in the paint, the Bucks also possess two other All-Star talents in Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday as well as DPOY candidate Brook Lopez at the five and six man Bobby Portis who has provided an excellent spark off the bench, which has the Bucks in a firm status to contend for the title once again this season.
Phoenix Suns (+500)
The Suns already bolstered an impressive roster that centered around All-Star guard duo Devin Booker and Chris Paul as well as former number one overall pick DeAndre Ayton, yet after a marquee mid-season trade that saw the Arizona club acquire Kevin Durant, the Suns are now in a championship or bust state of contention.
Philadelphia 76ers (+850)
Denver Nuggets (+850)
While it appears that two-time reigning MVP Nikola Jokic is unlikely to claim the award for the third successive year, there is still no denying his value on the court as he has led this Nuggets roster to a top seeded finish in a star-ridden Western Conference.
