NBA Power Rankings Based on Championship Odds (Warriors Odds Climbing as Preseason Begins)

The NBA preseason kicked off this week. The Golden State Warriors looked good in their opener. Phoenix Suns lost to the Adelaide 36ers.

The NBA preseason is underway. The Warriors are fresh off an NBA title. Giannis Antetokounmpo is the star player for the Bucks. Boston's odds have bounced back after the Ime Udoka suspension. Kawhi Leonard is back on the court and the Clippers are back in the NBA championship conversation.

The Grizzlies won't have Jaren Jackson Jr. to start the season. Evan Mobley hurt his ankle in camp. Luka Doncic is going to be an MVP-caliber player. The Suns are a risky team to bet at +1000. The Lakers are not worth betting on. Damian Lillard should be healthy for the Blazers. Trae Young and Dejounte Murray should help the Hawks make the playoffs this season, but the Raptors didn't lose anyone from last season's team.
