Understanding the Odds

The odds format on this page are money lines. It’s pretty easy to understand. It basically means if the number is positive you have to wager $100 to profit that amount. If the number is negative you have to bet that amount in order to profit $100. For example, if it was -300 then you have to bet $300 to cash $100. If it was +200 then a $100 bet would win you $200.

If you want to convert the money line into fractions. Simply take the line and divide it by 100. For example, if a team is +300, their fractional odd would be 3/1 (300/100).

Favorites to Win 2020 NBA Championship & Betting Predictions

As the calendar nears February, we are just a little over two weeks away from the 2020 NBA All-Star Game and it feels like a good time to check in on the odds to to win the 2020 NBA Championship.

As is the case in most years, there’s just not a lot of change in the NBA odds to win it all, unless there’s a big trade or injury that drastically changes the outlook of a team.

As of right now there’s three teams who appear to be fighting for the title. The Lakers are the overwhelming favorite at +225, but the Bucks aren’t far back at +325 and the Clippers are sitting at +350. No other team in the league has odds better than 10 to 1.

Next in line would be the Rockets at +1100, followed by the 76ers at +1200, Jazz at +1500, Nuggets at +1600 and the Celtics/Mavs at +2000. The only other teams withs odds better than 100 to 1 are the Raptors at +2500, the Heat at +3000 and the Pacers at +6000.

NBA Finals Predictions: Best Value Pick (Celtics +2000)

I think a lot of people are penciling the Bucks into the NBA Finals and I will admit that Milwaukee is the team to beat right now in the Eastern Conference. However, I don’t think it’s as big a lock for them to get to the finals as others. One team that I think can take them down is the Celtics. As long as Boston goes into the postseason healthy, they got the pieces to not only beat the Bucks, but give the Lakers or Celtics a run for their money.

2020 Nba Finals Vegas Odds

The 2019 NBA offseason might just have been the craziest in league history. Stars were traded, big name free agents selected their destinations, and rosters were completely shaken up. Now that all the dust has settled, where does everyone land? NBA fans and analysts are looking to answer who won big in free agency, what teams lost out, and which team looks like the next NBA Finals champion.

This article will first provide a table with the Vegas odds for each NBA team’s chance of winning the 2020 championship. This table will demonstrate which teams made the biggest jumps, and which teams fell the most, over the summer.

The article will then continue with a list of the top ten teams with the best odds of winning it all next season. How each team performed last season and what players each team lost and added this summer will give context as to the current roster of each team. From these, and statistical analysis, conclusions about each championship-contending team can be drawn.

Lastly, I will give my predictions for each team in the upcoming 2020 NBA season.

Vegas Odds To Win 2020 NBA Finals

The table below shows the Vegas odds of winning the 2020 NBA Finals for each NBA team on May 28, 2019 and July 17, 2019. These two dates show the difference in expectation for each team before the free agency period started and now that it has ended. The numbers in the table below represent how much someone would win if they bet $100 on each given team. This means that the lower the number in the table, the higher the team’s odds are of winning the championship.

Largest Jumps: Clippers, Lakers, Rockets, 76ers, Jazz, Heat
Largest Falls: Warriors, Celtics, Thunder, Knicks

East

Las Vegas Odds 2020 Nba Finals

1. Milwaukee Bucks (+650)
   2018-19 Finish: 1^st in East, 60-22, Lost in Eastern Conference Finals
   Key Losses: G Malcolm Brogdon, F Nikola Mirotic
   Key Additions: C Robin Lopez, G Wesley Matthews
   2020 Outlook: With the exception of Malcolm Brogdon, the Bucks resigned most of their core and picked up Robin Lopez as a backup center. Giannis Antetokounmpo will have his eyes set on another MVP title. Will he have enough help? I project the Bucks to go 58-24 this season, losing to the 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

2. Philadelphia 76ers (+950)
   2018-19 Finish: 3^rd in East, 51-31, Lost in Eastern Conference Semis
   Key Losses: F Jimmy Butler, G JJ Redick, G TJ McConnell
   Key Additions: G Josh Richardson, C Al Horford
   2020 Outlook: Losing Jimmy Butler and JJ Redick seems like a big hit, but replacing them with guys like Josh Richardson and Al Horford makes the pain a little easier. The 76ers still have the most talented starting lineup in the East, led by Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid. I think Philly will overcome last season’s heartbreak and make the NBA Finals in 2020. I project them to go 55-27 in the regular season, but lose in the championship to the Clippers.

3. Boston Celtics (+2300)
   2018-19 Finish: 4^th in East, 49-33, Lost in Eastern Conference Semis
   Key Losses: G Kyrie Irving, G Terry Rozier, C Al Horford, F Marcus Morris
   Key Additions: G Kemba Walker, C Enes Kanter, F Romeo Langford, G Carsen Edwards, F Grant Williams
   2020 Outlook: Boston is another team that has lost a lot since the end of last season. Their roster will be completely restructured, yet still provide hope to the Celtic faithful. Kemba Walker will be a star in the green and white, and he is surrounded by young talent. Although I expect Kemba to have a standout season, I think inexperience will cripple the Celtics. I project they will finish the regular season at 47-35.

4. Brooklyn Nets (+2300)
   2018-19 Finish: 6^th in East, 42-40, Lost in First Round
   Key Losses: G D’Angelo Russell, F DeMarre Carroll, C Ed Davis, G Allen Crabbe
   Key Additions: G Kyrie Irving, F Kevin Durant, C DeAndre Jordan, F Wilson Chandler
   2020 Outlook: The Nets had a busy offseason resulting in almost a completely new roster. And that’s not a bad thing. They lost a young star in D’Angelo Russell and a lot of key role players, but what they got in return was unmatched. The additions of three stars like Kyrie, KD, and DeAndre Jordan, all in one offseason, is something to be amazed at. Obviously the Nets won’t hit their full potential until Durant is back to full health, but I think they still have a good squad. I project them to finish the regular season at 48-34.

West

1. Los Angeles Clippers (+330)
   2018-19 Finish: 8^th in West, 48-34, Lost in First Round
   Key Losses: F Danilo Gallinari, G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
   Key Additions: F Kawhi Leonard, F Paul George, F Maurice Harkless
   2020 Outlook: The Clippers were simply the biggest winners this offseason. A 2019 playoff team added two of the top-ten players in the league, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, without sacrificing too much of their existing roster. The Clippers will hands-down be the best defensive team in the NBA, led by returning lockdown defenders Pat Beverly and Montrezl Harrell. The Clippers are my early pick to go all the way, finishing the season at 62-20 and winning the NBA Finals.

2. Los Angeles Lakers (+480)
   2018-19 Finish: 10^th in West, 37-45, Missed Playoffs
   Key Losses: G Lonzo Ball, G Josh Hart, F Brandon Ingram
   Key Additions: F Anthony Davis, C DeMarcus Cousins, G Danny Green, G Avery Bradley, G Quinn Cook
   2020 Outlook: The Lakers took part in the biggest trade this offseason when they sent most of their young core packing for Anthony Davis. Losing so much young talent hurts, but it’s clear the Lakers are going all out for a ring in 2020. The core of Lebron James, Anthony Davis, and Kyle Kuzma is among the best in the league. They also are surrounded by veterans with experience like DeMarcus Cousins and Danny Green. I project the Lakers to go 58-24 this season, losing to the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals.

3. Houston Rockets (+750)
   2018-19 Finish: 4^th in West, 53-29, Lost in Western Conference Semis
   Key Losses: G Chris Paul
   Key Additions: G Russell Westbrook
   2020 Outlook: The Rockets haven’t changed too much since last season. They resigned the main portion of their core and will still be led by perennial MVP-candidate James Harden. Except for one thing, they traded out Chris Paul for Russell Westbrook. This trade brings more energy, youth, excitement, and chemistry to the Rocket backcourt. I project the Rockets to go 60-22 next season.

4. Golden State Warriors (+1500)
   2018-19 Finish: 1^st in West, 57-25, Lost in NBA Finals
   Key Losses: F Kevin Durant, F Andre Igoudala, C DeMarcus Cousins, G Shaun Livingston, F Jordan Bell, G Quinn Cook
   Key Additions: G D’Angelo Russell, C Willie Cauley-Stein, F Glenn Robinson III, G Jordan Poole
   2020 Outlook: No team lost more this offseason than the Golden State Warriors. But no team had more to lose. While the Warriors will miss Durant, Igoudala, Cousins, and Livingston, their core of Curry, Klay, and Dray remains intact. Factor that in with the addition of rising star D’Angelo Russell and young big man Willie Cauley-Stein and the Warriors will be just fine in 2020. I project them to finish at 51-31.

5. Utah Jazz (+1600)
   2018-19 Finish: 5^th in West, 50-32, Lost in First Round
   Key Losses: F Derrick Favors, G Kyle Korver, G Ricky Rubio
   Key Additions: G Mike Conley, F Bojan Bogdanovic, C Ed Davis
   2020 Outlook: The Jazz may be considered a sleeper pick for the 2020 Finals, but they’re a pretty strong dark horse. They lost some old veterans this offseason, but their already playoff-caliber roster only improved this summer. They picked up a star point guard in Mike Conley to create one of the most talented backcourts in the league, along with Donovan Mitchell. They also added Bojan Boganovic to round out the starting five with Joe Ingles and Rudy Gobert. I project the Jazz to finish 51-31 next season.

6. Denver Nuggets (+2300)
   2018-19 Finish: 2nd in West, 54-28, Lost in Western Conference Semis
   Key Losses: G Isaiah Thomas, F Trey Lyles
   Key Additions: F Jerami Grant, C Bol Bol
   2020 Outlook: The Nuggets, unlike most teams on this list, had an uneventful offseason. When you’re the second-best team in your conference, I guess that’s alright. They practically lost nobody from their 54-win team last season, while adding a solid all-around player in Jerami Grant. Grant’s defense, paired with Gary Harris and Jamal Murray’s stellar offense, will create a balanced supporting cast for star center Nikola Jokic. I project the Nuggets to go 55-27 in 2020.
