The Cleveland Cavaliers are going to win the NBA championship according to Las Vegas. The Cleveland Cavaliers finished 2nd in the Eastern Conference and they face the Boston Celtics.
According to David Purdum of ESPN:
“The Westgate SuperBook made the Cavaliers 9-4 favorites after Wednesday’s games were completed. The Golden State Warriors are a close second at 5-2. The defending champion San Antonio Spurs, at 4-1, are the only other team with single-digit odds at the SuperBook.
The Cavs, the second seed in the Eastern Conference, were the consensus favorites in Vegas and could be found Thursday as low as even money at Caesars sportsbook to win the title.”
The full list:
Cavaliers 9-4
Warriors 5-2
Spurs 4-1
Hawks 12-1
Bulls 14-1
Clippers 14-1
Rockets 14-1
Grizzlies 25-1
Raptors 50-1
Trail Blazers 50-1
Mavericks 60-1
Pelicans 100-1
Wizards 60-1
Bucks 200-1
Celtics 200-1
Nets 200-1
I would say the list is pretty accurate, and if I were to bet any money, it would be on the Spurs, Cavaliers, or Warriors winning it all. Outside of those 3 teams, the chances are very slim.
