2017-18 NBA Title Odds

The 2016-17 NBA Finals hadn’t even started before sportsbooks were starting to take bets on the 2017-18 title. No surprise that the Warriors and Cavs are tops again, and here are opening and current odds:

For reference, the Warriors opened +150 last year and Cavs opened +250. By the start of last season, the Warriors were -125 and the Cavs +225, similar to the odds we’re seeing now for the upcoming 2017-18 season.

• The Thunder improved from 75:1 to 30:1 after acquiring Paul George.
• The Rockets improved from 30:1 to 15:1 following the trade for Chris Paul.
