New Orleans Pelicans are on the move, currently priced at -400. Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs will compete with Kings for the worst record.

New Orleans Pelicans are +400 to win the Southwest Division.

Denver Nuggets are the favorite in the Northwest Division. The Minnesota Timberwolves are priced at +150 money. Portland Trail Blazers are +900. Utah Jazz are -1800. Oklahoma City Thunder is +20,000.   for pizza money-sized bets only. It's a good bet because of the price tag and the talent of an extremely young team.
