My three favorite NBA title bets
The NBA season is long and unpredictable. It's a great way to make bets on the future of the sport. The last three seasons in the Eastern Conference saw Boston reach the NBA Finals after being 66-1 to win a title. Dallas won the Western Conference at 14-2 and Boston won NBA Championship at 66.5-10. The prices are important here, especially the shorter ones. Investing in a team at + 550 to won a championship is better than + 750. A price of +550 carries an implied probability of 15.4% compared to +750.
Circa Sports has the highest odds of winning the NBA Finals for Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers are well behind the Warriors in the market. The Clippers have the best odds to win the title.
The Philadelphia 76ers are 16-1 favorite to win the Eastern Conference and make it to the NBA Finals. James Harden and Joel Embiid form one of the best scoring duos in the league.
Denver Nuggets are a legitimate contender for the Western Conference title. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray played well together last time. Their optimal lineup with them and Aaron Gordon demolished opponents by 17.0 points per 100 possessions. Denver is undervalued at a price of 20-1 (4.8%) and has the same probability as teams like Dallas and Miami.
