Milwaukee Bucks now the 7/2 favourites to win the 2023-24 NBA title following the acquisition of seven-time All-Star Damian Lillard in three-team blockbuster trade

While the Bucks have regularly been one of the shorter-priced teams to win a title over the past five years or so - a big reason behind them establishing themselves as outright favourites in recent weeks is due to the acquisition of Damian Lillard.

The seven-time All-Star joins multiple-time MVP and NBA Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo courtesy of a three-team blockbuster deal that included the Bucks, Portland Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns.

The second-favourites with Sky Bet are the Boston Celtics at 4/1, who have bolstered their back court after striking a deal to get former Buck Jrue Holiday just days after he was traded to the Trail Blazers.

Surprisingly, the Denver Nuggets find themselves as third-favourites at 5/1despite winning the franchise's maiden NBA title just four months ago.

Milwaukee Bucks 7/2
