Phoenix Suns' NBA title odds rise after Bradley Beal trade

The Phoenix Suns' NBA title odds have shifted after trading for Bradley Beal.

Tipico Sportsbook has released updated odds for the Suns' to win the 2023-24 NBA Championship and the Suns are now fourth at +670.

Only the Denver Nuggets, the defending champions, and the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks are higher.

The Nuggets are at +470 and the Celtics are at +490. The Bucks are at +650.

The Golden State Warriors round out the Top 5 in odds to win the NBA title next season at +1000, with the Los Angeles Lakers sixth at +3100.

Interestingly, the Suns were much lower in odds earlier this month, with some odds putting the team at +900, so the team got a boost with the big trade for Beal.

Phoenix gave up Chris Paul and Landry Shamet in the deal, as well as several second-round NBA draft picks and a pick swap.

NBA Twitter debated whether or not the Suns should be the favorite, or among the favorites, to win the NBA title next season:
