Here is what to know about the NBA title oddsboard:
The Reigning Champs: OKC's odds shortened to +210 after opening at +260 post-title run. Over the summer, the Thunder re-signed star youngsters Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, securing their core (alongside reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) for the foreseeable future.
Immediate Contenders: Second and third on the board are Cleveland and Denver, respectively. Denver had a busy summer, trading Michael Porter Jr. for Cam Johnson, trading Dario Saric for Jonas Valanciunas, and then signing Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr.
East Shakeup: Indiana star guard Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles in the NBA Finals and Boston star Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles earlier in the playoffs. Both could potentially miss the entire season. The Pacers also lost Myles Turner in free agency, and Boston traded Kristaps Porziņģis and Jrue Holiday, and lost Al Horford in free agency. In other words, the East is wide open, with Cleveland (+650) and New York (+1100) as the early favorites to potentially win the conferenec.
West On Top: Of the top 10 teams on the board, six are from the West, including the Thunder (first), Nuggets (third), Lakers (T-fifth), Wolves (T-fifth), Clippers (seventh) and Rockets (eighth). On the outside looking in are the Warriors (11th) and Mavericks (15th), who drafted Cooper Flagg and are awaiting Kyrie Irving's return from a torn ACL.
Big Movers: The Rockets opened at +900 but have since fallen to +1700, likely due to the season-ending ACL tear suffered by Fred VanVleet. The Bucks opened at +4200 but now sit at +6500. The Suns opened at +31000 but are now at +75000 after losing Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal.
