Bettors are set for this team to be a juggernaut, despite only having 22 games to prepare for the playoffs, as the team is the No. 2 pick to win the NBA Finals and has the best odds of any group of players. the Western Conference at +425.

While the Suns have passed the Denver Nuggets for first place in the odds, the team is still trailing them in the standings by 9.5 games as the home court will likely go through Denver in the West. That’s huge for the Nuggets, who are five games ahead of second-place Memphis Grizzlies as the team is 27-4 at Ball Arena this year. The Nuggets are +750 away from winning the title with likely MVP Nikola Jokic.
There are several teams firmly in the finals mix and the odds indicate how open it is with five other teams inside at 20-1 to win it all this season.
