Here is what to know about the NBA title oddsboard:
The Reigning Champs: OKC’s odds shortened opened at +260 post-title run, and the Thunder now sit at +200. Over the summer, they re-signed star youngsters Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, securing their core (alongside reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) for the foreseeable future. Through 11 games, OKC is 10-1 (best record in the league) and Williams hasn’t played a single game, while Holmgren has missed four. The best is getting better.
Immediate Contenders: Second on the board is Denver, closely followed by Cleveland. At 7-2, the Nuggets have the second-best offense in the league (124.2 points per game) and have the second-best point differential (+13.2). As for Cleveland, it is tied with Miami and Milwaukee for the third-best record in the East, a year after finishing with the best record in the conference.
East Shakeup: Indiana star guard Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles in the NBA Finals and Boston star Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles earlier in the playoffs. Both could potentially miss the entire season. The Pacers also lost Myles Turner in free agency, and Boston traded Kristaps Porziņģis and Jrue Holiday, and lost Al Horford in free agency. In other words, the East is wide open. Boston has the 12th-best title odds after starting the season 5-6, while Indiana is 21st on the board, sitting at 1-9 on the year so far.
West on Top: Of the top 10 teams on the board, six are from the West, including the Thunder (first), Nuggets (second), Rockets (fifth), Lakers (sixth), Warriors (seventh) and Wolves (ninth).
