Eastern Conference

Eastern Conference Top Contenders

The Toronto Raptors found themselves looking up at the Milwaukee Bucks in championship odds for the last handful of weeks in the 2018-19 NBA season. But they defeated them in six games during the Eastern Conference Finals.

Atlantic Division 2019 NBA Championship Odds

The Nets found themselves in familiar territory again, as they entered the 2018-19 season as serious longshots. Brooklyn hasn’t won a championship since entering the league.

Central Division 2019 NBA Championship Odds

The Cavaliers had opening odds of +2500, but that changed in a hurry thanks to LeBron James decision to leave town for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Southeast Division 2019 NBA Championship Odds

The Southeast Division sent just one team to the postseason, the Orlando Magic, who was eliminated in the first-round by the Raptors.

Western Conference

Western Conference Top Contenders

The Warriors’ championship odds got even shorter on July 6th when the defending champs signed DeMarcus Cousins to a one-year deal. But they just couldn’t three-peat with Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson both removed from the series due to injuries.

Northwest Division 2019 NBA Championship Odds

The Portland Trail Blazers went on a great run in the playoffs, making it all the way to the Western Conference Finals. Unfortunately, they would get swept by the Golden State Warriors.

Pacific Division 2019 NBA Championship Odds

Any discussion about the Pacific Division begins with the Warriors, who entered the 2018-19 season as overwhelming favorites yet again. Golden State had won three of the last four titles and was perfectly positioned to become the first team in 17 years to pull off a three-peat.

Southwest Division 2019 NBA Championship Odds

The Houston Rockets came up short yet again, falling to the Golden State Warriors in the second round of the playoffs, even after Kevin Durant left in Game 5 with a calf injury.
