Here is what to know about the NBA title oddsboard:
The Reigning Champs: The Thunder’s 36-8 record is the best in the league, but it’s all but written in stone that they won’t challenge the Warriors’ 73-9 mark. Still, OKC is second in points per game (121.4), first in points allowed (108) and first in point differential (13.4). Injury is taking a bit of a toll on the defending champs, with All-Star forward Jalen Williams sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Immediate Contenders: Second on the board is Denver. The Nuggets have the best offense in the league (121.7 points per game) and the best field-goal percentage (50%). How impressive is that? Well, Nikola Jokić has missed 11 straight games and the Nuggets are 7-4 in that span. And five of those came on the road. Despite both being in the Northwest Division, the Nuggets and Thunder will play for the first time on Feb. 1, over three months into the season. Behind the Thunder and Nuggets are the Spurs, who were at +2500 a little over a month ago. San Antonio has the third-best record in the NBA, behind OKC and Detroit.
East Up For Grabs: Will the East favorite please stand up? Detroit has the second-best record in the NBA (31-10), but it’s New York (25-18) that has the shortest title odds in the conference, sitting fifth at +1700. The Pistons, meanwhile, are sixth at +1800. Six of the 10 teams with the shortest odds are in the Western Conference.
Lagging Lakers: L.A. is not hitting on all cylinders as of late. At 25-16, it is sixth in the West, having lost five of its last seven. The Lakers have also been without Austin Reaves for multiple weeks due to a calf strain. In mid-December, they were fourth on this board at +1300. Now, they sit ninth at +3000.
