Not only are Warriors the heavy favorites, they are actually laying chalk in the title odds, currently on the board at 5/7 to win the Larry O’Brien Trophy, according to the Westgate LV Superbook.
The Warriors biggest challenger, at least according to Las Vegas, is the team they faced off in last year’s Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron and the Cavs enter the postseason at 3/1 after finishing first in the Eastern Conference with 57 wins.
The team with the third best odds to win the NBA title is no surprise, the San Antonio Spurs, who racked up 67 wins this season and are currently on the board at 7/2.
After those top three, the odds for the remaining teams are noticeably longer. The Oklahoma City Thunder have the fourth best odds at 16/1, followed by the Toronto Raptors at 25/1 and the Los Angeles Clippers at 30/1.
