Updated NBA Championship Odds after Week 21

There aren’t too many games left until the end of the regular NBA season, and the teams are heating up for the playoffs. Several of them stand above others in the title race, but surprises are always possible.

All the players who were included in trades or switched teams had settled down, so we had enough time to assess which deals were jackpots and which were busts.

That’s why some units improved their chances of winning the NBA title, and some plunged down on the power rankings.

The Favorite – Milwaukee Bucks +300

The Bucks are in one hell of a shape, and they rolled over the entire league over the past two months. Mike Budenholzer’s crew has only three defeats in the past 25 contests, and that stretch began in late January. After having a shaky start and being equally inconsistent midway through the campaign, the 2021 champs shifted into a higher gear after the New Year.

At one point, they jumped over the Celtics on top of the East, and confidently snatched both that and the top seed in the NBA, announcing the biggest possible ambitions for this season. Right now, Milwaukee sits at 51-20, and what is more important, they have sent another big message to all the rivals, by beating the Phoenix Suns in Arizona, 116-104, one night after defeating the Kings in Sacramento, 133-124.

Smart Pick – Golden State Warriors +1125

We would go with the Bucks as the smartest pick, but since we can’t take one team for both categories, the Warriors are our choice here. Why? First of all, the four-time champions have enough experience to defeat anyone in any given circumstance. Winning titles has become a routine for them, so even though we see them struggle frequently, that doesn’t have to mean anything when the playoffs begin.

Also, Chase Center has been a stronghold for the Warriors, who won eight straight there at the moment and have 12 wins in the last 13 appearances in front of their crowd. So one break per series, which is something ordinary for the Warriors, is the formula for winning the title.

Long Shot – Sacramento Kings +4900

We simply have to go with the Kings, who are an incredible team. Yes, they don’t have any experience in these situations, but on the other side, there is no pressure on Fox, Sabonis, and the boys, which is a massive plus.

High-pace games and the versatility in their attack could click in the playoffs and lead this crew to unbelievable heights. Right now, this unit is leveled with the Grizzlies in second place in the West and can’t go lower than third position. Apparently, not too many people recognize and acknowledge their quality, which could be an additional motive for the Kings.
