Sports betting odds on the NBA Playoffs are on the board with numbers available for each team to win the NBA title. Those Internet sports betting odds will be on the board in advance of this weekend’s NBA playoff games and they will be adjusted as the playoffs continue.
Sports betting odds list the Cleveland Cavaliers as the 6-5 favorite to win the NBA title. They are followed closely by the Los Angeles Lakers at 8-5. Those two teams are the overwhelming favorites to win the title with only one other team with single-digit odds. The Orlando Magic are the 5-1 third choice in Internet sports betting NBA futures.
There are a number of teams that can be considered darkhorse candidates to win the NBA title. Any team that is less than 20-1 does have some sort of a chance to surprise in the NBA Playoffs. There are eight teams with odds of 20-1 or less. The Boston Celtics lead the teams in that category with odds of 12-1. There are five teams with odds of 15-1. They are the Atlanta Hawks, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz. Oklahoma City is 18-1 while the Phoenix Suns are 20-1. Some of the teams in this group will not make it out of the first round since they play each other. Dallas plays San Antonio while Denver plays Utah.
The sports betting longshots are the Portland Trail Blazers at 35-1, the Charlotte Bobcats at 45-1, the Miami Heat at 50-1, the Milwaukee Bucks at 55-1 and the Chicago Bulls at 75-1.
There are some interesting sports betting odds in this group. Despite the fact they are seeded fifth, the Miami Heat are getting no respect at 50-1. And this is a team that has a superstar player in Dwayne Wade. Compare those odds to Utah who is the fifth seed in the Western Conference and they are 15-1. Oklahoma City is the #8 seed in the Western Conference, yet they have odds of only 18-1. The #8 seed in the East is Chicago and they are 75-1. Dallas is the second seed in the West and they are 15-1 while Orlando is the second seed in the East and they are 5-1. Those are just a few of the interesting notes about the future sports betting odds as the NBA Playoffs get ready to begin.
