The recently crowned NBA Champs the Golden State Warriors are oddsmakers’ favorites to win the championship again next season.
The betting odds are out for the next NBA Season. The defending champions will be the favorites once again to reclaim their throne. However, other teams will look to dethrone them and put their own mark on those championship rings.
There are multiple teams’ whose chances have been boosted for the next season due to players returning from injuries. Here are the top 10 teams according to the oddsmakers to win the championship next season.
The Golden State Warriors were crowned as the NBA Champions once again. They defeated the Boston Celtics in game 6 at their own homecourt to clinch their 4th championship in eight years.
Stephen Curry was finally able to win his first Finals MVP award. They will be once again the favorites to win the championship next season. The current odds for them to win the championship are set at 6.0 or +500.
The Boston Celtics had an impressive season this year and exceeded all the expectations. Even though they lost in the Finals to the Warriors, they will open up as the team with the 2nd most chances to win the championship next season.
Jayson Tatum will be on a revenge tour after a disappointing performance in the NBA Finals, and we can see the Celtics make another run towards the championship next season. The current odds for them to win the championship are set at 7.0 or +600 just behind the Golden State Warriors.
The Brooklyn Nets had a disappointing season this year. They were plagued with injuries and had to part ways with James Harden during the season also. The Celtics swept them in the 1st round of the playoffs, and that was rock bottom for them.
Their team was never settled but a returning Ben Simmons along with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant is more than capable of winning the championship next season. The current odds for them to win the championship are set at 7.5 or +650.
The Los Angeles Clippers failed to even make the playoffs this year. This was mainly because of the injuries to their star players. Kawhi didn’t play a single game, while Paul George also missed a massive chunk of the season.
With both of them healthy next season and Norman Powell alongside them, the Clippers will be one of the favorites to win the NBA Championship next season. The current odds for them to win the championship are set at 8.0 or +700.
The Milwaukee Bucks were another team whose season got derailed due to injuries. They lost Khris Middleton in the playoffs and lost to the Celtics in the 2nd round.
They’ll be back again next season, and Giannis will hope to win his second championship and take his trophy back from Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. The current odds for them to win the championship are set at 8.5 or +750.
The Phoenix Suns had the worst end to their season among all the teams. They lost in a shocking manner in the 2nd round to the Dallas Mavericks, and that was embarrassing.
However, they’ll still be among the top teams next season. With or without DeAndre Ayton, they’ll look to get back to the top next season. The current odds for them to win the championship are set at 10.0 or +900.
The Miami Heat’s season was also hampered by injuries. They finished the season as the 1st seed in the East, and they’ll again be in the mix for the NBA Championship next season.
They might look to make a move for Bradley Beal or Donovan Mitchell that can straightaway make them the favorites to win the championship. The current odds for them to win the championship are set at 15.0 or +1400.
The Denver Nuggets will be very scary next season. Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. will be returning to pair up with Nikola Jokic. The two-times MVP will finally have some help.
We all saw what he did alone, and with his co-stars back, they can win the championship. The current odds for them to win the championship are set at 16.0 or +1500.
The experiment with James Harden certainly didn’t work for the Philadelphia 76ers this season. However, they’ll be better next season and will be title contenders.
James Harden will definitely work on his body during the offseason, and we can expect to see a better version of him. The current odds for them to win the championship are set at 16.0 or +1500.
Both these teams made a huge leap this season. They’ll be expected to be better next season with the experience they got this season. Memphis Grizzlies were quite good this season, and the only way is up for them.
On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks have already started making moves, which is making them better for the next season. The current odds for both of them to win the championship are set at 17.0 or +1600.
