Odds for ESPN BET Sportsbook
Los Angeles Lakers Win Western Conference (+700)
The Lakers join the Thunder and Nuggets with a trade from Luka Doncic to become the third Western Conference team that can separate themselves from the rest of the world. Doncic and LeBron James provide two elite crime creators for the NBA's Lakers, which means we can expect the production of other Lakers, including Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura. While the Lakers have a question mark in the middle, they start the roster with four players the size of power forwards, including LeBron and Luca, that can help them stay strong on the glass even when playing small balls. Dangerous teams are worth considering the odds for a relatively long time. - - nose
Orlando Magic Wins Southeast Division (-105)
Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are back with the Magic after getting injured this season. While they have 4-6 in the last 10 games, the remaining 26 games are crucial. Orlando has no reputation as an offensive force, but the Magic are third in the defensive rating this season, which is key to one of the easiest timelines left. I love their chances of locking in the Southwest Division. - - Moody and unpredictable
I rode with Moody. For example, the Magic’s schedule is the seventh schedule, such as three meetings for the Wizards. As Eric points out, an impressive and rising frontcourt group is expected to improve with more cohesion. For me, this is totally plausible to me, it is totally plausible to me, it is through eye testing and predicting possible. - - McCormick
Golden State Warriors Win Western Conference (+1800)
I don't usually hear anything Draymond Green said, but when it comes to his team going to another final, he might do something. New Jimmy Butler is certainly a fighter, and the franchise has brought young Jonathan Kuminga back from injury soon. Would it be shocking if Stephen, Draymond and the New Warriors got hot at the right time and shocked Thunder or the Nuggets? On these odds, it's worth a look. - - Karabel
Oklahoma City Thunder Wins Championship (+230)
I chose the Thunder to win all the wins before the start of the season, and they had completely failed the hype and put the Cavaliers in the league with a score of 44-10. They're also struggling with injuries this season, but we can finally taste Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein together. They are young, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams the two best players in the league, and I simply don't see anyone beat them in a seven-game series because they look unparalleled in this case . - - Alexander
Detroit Pistons More than 41.5 Wins (-115)
The Pistons are one of the NBA's feel-good stories, with four straight wins and a sixth seed that will make them a playoff team if the season ends. After a season with an NBA record 28 losses, the Pistons are clearly heading in the right direction, with All-Star and former No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham leading the way. If you push the Pistons’ 29-26 record (52.7% win rate) to 82 games, it will bring you 43 wins. But even that underestimates the team. After the start of seasons 9-15, the Pistons improved greatly. In the last 29 games, the Pistons are 19-10. It was a long, two-month victory, winning with 66% of the clip. If the Pistons continue to play anywhere near that clip for the remaining 29 games, they should soar over the 41.5 victory threshold. - - nose
Memphis Grizzlies surpass 52.5 regular season win (-115)
Ja Morant has been the Grizzlies' engine while on the court. His average of 20.7 points and 7.4 APG this season. Memphis entered the All-Star Game, ranking in the top eight in offensive and defensive ratings as the No. 2 seed in the West. I like one of the easiest schedules in the league and I love the chances of them exceeding this total. - - Moody and unpredictable
Denver Nuggets win over 52.5 (even)
Nikola Jokic doesn't like losing, his Nuggets have a eight-game winning streak and has the potential to finish second this season. Also, I don't think Jokic likes to see other people leading the Alliance MVP conversation. Oh, he knows. The Nuggets will sail more than 53 victories. - Karabel
Oklahoma City Thunders exceeds 64.5 wins (-145)
Unlike the Celtics and some other teams, I just can't see the Thunder resting a lot of nights, guessing they'll bring as many games as they have to win. They will have to get in at least 21-7, but if any team can do that, it's Thunder, especially given that they only have 10 of their first 54 games of the season. - - Alexander
Minnesota Timberwolves win more than 46.5 wins (-130)
Minnesota's opponents are currently winning with a .474 clip, setting the fifth advantage of the league's highest schedule. The team has ranked 10th in offensive ratings and 8th in the last 10 games. Jaden McDaniels achieved a new offensive impact. If Donte Divincenzo can return to the floor in the final weeks of the season, this could be a hot team. - - McCormick
Philadelphia 76ers enter the playoffs (+280)
The 76ers are one of the tragic stories in the first half of this season. Major actions were made this offseason, including bringing Paul George into the game, who are looking to compete for the Eastern Conference Championship. Instead, they currently sit in the 11th seed in the East, .500 under 14 games and playoffs outside - even in the game. Teams may be risking things shut down as they traded a first-round draft pick this season (protected by the top 6). If they end up getting one of the top six draft picks in the draft, they will keep the draft pick. This could be a powerful motivation for the 76ers decision makers.
That said, the 76ers also only lag behind the Bulls 1.5 games in the 10th seed and last game. Each of the three teams in front of them, the Hawks, the Hots and the Bulls - is trading at least on the NBA trade deadline. If the Sixers after the break does get more time from Embiid than before, and more importantly, as the playoffs approach, he starts to improve his level and they will be in a good position to beat The other three teams and quit. Play with one of the last two playoff venues. - - nose
San Antonio Spurs enter the playoffs (+500)
The Spurs' front desk did a great job around Victor Wembanyama and de'aaron fox was another smart move. San Antonio entered the twelfth place in the West with a record of 23-29. They were seven games, the latter ranked sixth but behind the Warriors’ sixth game. The game is not impossible. - - Moody and unpredictable
Chicago Bulls Enter the Playoffs (+400)
OK, I bet the Sixers can't figure out how to properly store oil, keep trying to win, and still finish 10th in the East behind the Bulls. This is a tragic way. Even if Joel Embiid did play, the Sixers weren't totally thriving with him. George seems to be even worse when he is active. Chicago isn't particularly good, but Matas Buzelis and Ayo Dosunmu look fun. The Bulls-76ers game on the last Sunday of the season will be a must-watch TV. - - Karabel
Atlanta Hawks Go to Playoffs (+130)
Jalen Johnson's (shoulder) losses and hunters' trade hurt them, but Caris Levert and Georges Niang step up to help Trae Young, Dyson Daniels and Onyeka Okongwu. The 26-29 Eagle is currently the eighth seed of the East, the seventh magic slide. After the recent eight-game winning streak, the Hawks corrected the ship to lead 4-2 in their last two games. - - Alexander
Dallas Mavericks enter the playoffs (+110)
The injury has continued, and so has the loss. Dallas needs to regain the defensive form. This is a team that has just used the team's legend for defensive performance, but has ranked 29th in the last 10 games. Again, given the presence of personnel, the lineup still has a lot of potential to find some defensive success. Even if Anthony Davis has tinkered, I believe the veteran core and proven coaching footage will help correct the course. This also helps the team to win the tenth lowest opponent on the remaining timeline. - - McCormick
Nikola Jokic wins MVP (+350)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the odds to win the MVP at the break, and Tim Bontempts' latest potential MVP voter's straw pole sees SGA win 30% of Jokic's first place. SGA leads the NBA with a record best in the league (32.5 PPG) and believes that he will win awards has also influenced his favorite identity. But Jokic is a three-time and dominant MVP, the best season of his career. He averaged a virtual 30-point triple-double (29.8 PPG, 12.6 RPG, 10.2 APG), something he had never done in NBA history. He ranks the top 4 in four categories in five huge points, rebounds, and assists. and Steal every game. The Nuggets' opponents are 19.9 points higher than on the bench than on the floor for every 100 rounds, which is more elite than SGA's 17.4 on-Court/Off-court/Off-court +/-. Most importantly, the Nuggets are in eight straight wins, giving them 0.5 games in both Western seeds. MVP is chosen from top seeds, so if Jokic keeps his historic production and impact rate while leading his team to the top seeds, he has the ability to close the gap and possibly even surpass SGA to earn his first place Four MVP awards. - - nose
Tyler Herro wins the state-of-the-art player award (+1600)
The MIP Awards competition is one of the most exciting matches of the season, and Cunningham is the leader-he deserves it. But don't sleep on Hero. His career years averaged 23.9 points and 5.5 APG and earned his first All-Star nod this season. Each winner of the award also made its first appearance in the same year since the 2019-20 season. - - Moody and unpredictable
Malik Beasley No. 6 of the Year (+550)
Payton Pritchard (-170) and De'andre Hunter (+320) are two favorites to win this award, and Beasley Then wander around. His Pistons are one of the success stories of the season, and Beasley is one of the reasons. He averaged 16.5 points and 3.9 3-pointers per game, surpassing Prichard, while Hunter averaged 15 points in two games with the Cavaliers. I think Beasley has a real shot in winning this, especially if he does a great job at the end of the season. - - Alexander
Stephen Castle will win Rookie of the Year (+135)
It's like one of the better values on the menu. There is no clear star in this class, which opens the door to the stable growth of the castle. After all, he has the best NBA players in the dunk game, and it turns out that as a secondary creator, the Spurs have multiple layers of play. The narrative perspective features the castle’s role in exciting teams – and the other contenders for the award are primarily on memorable teams. Statistical angles are growing; the Castle averaged 18 points in the last 15 games. High free throw rate stands out. The price of this award will only remain soft for so long. - - McCormick
