Who Is Favoured To Win the NBA Championship?

Boston Celtics NBA Championship Odds -125

Jayson Tatum led the Celtics to a Game 3 win over the Cavaliers with 33 points, 13 rebounds, and six assists. Jaylen Brown added 28 points on 13-of-17 shooting.

Jrue Holiday provided 18 points, eight rebounds, and five assists while holding Donovan Mitchell to just 2-of-3 shooting while guarding him for over seven minutes of game time.

Denver Nuggets NBA Championship Odds +375

Nikola Jokić powered Denver with 35 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, and three steals to help the defending champs even up the series at 2-2 with the Timberwolves.

Aaron Gordon added 27 points on 11-of-12 shooting, seven rebounds, six assists, and two blocks. Jamal Murray chipped in with 19 points and eight assists.

Jokić and the Nuggets have seemingly figured out how to navigate Minnesota’s league-best defence, so if the Timberwolves don’t make adjustments, they’re in deep trouble.

Who Is Predicted To Win the NBA Championship in 2024?

Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Championship Odds +700

Anthony Edwards poured in 44 points on 16-of-25 shooting in the Timberwolves’ Game 4 loss.

However, Minnesota failed to get much production from anyone else, as Karl-Anthony Towns provided just 13 points on 5-of-18 shooting.

Minnesota will need the best version of KAT to show up and to make adjustments on defence if they hope to survive this series against the defending champs. 

Dallas Mavericks NBA Championship Odds +800

P.J. Washington stepped up for the Mavs in Game 3 with 27 points on 11-of-27 shooting to lead them to a win over the Thunder.

Luka Dončić added 22 points, 15 rebounds, and five assists. Kyrie Irving chipped in 22 points and seven assists.

Irving also held Jalen Williams to a modest 1-of-1 shooting in the six minutes and 28 seconds he spent guarding him.

Oklahoma City Thunder NBA Championship Odds +1300

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 31 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists in the Game 3 loss. Williams added 16 points, eight assists, and six rebounds.

Chet Holmgren had 13 points, eight rebounds, and four blocks.

New York Knicks NBA Championship Odds +3000

Injuries and fatigue appear to be catching up to the Knicks, as Indiana built a 20-point lead at the end of the first quarter of Game 4 and kept their foot on the gas pedal.

Jalen Brunson struggled, putting up just 18 points on 6-of-17 shooting. Alec Burks and Miles McBride put up 20 and 16 points, respectively, off the bench, but Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo simply did not show up, as their minutes load could be catching up to them.

Brunson is playing through a foot injury and OG Anunoby appears likely to be done for at least the second round.

Indiana Pacers NBA Championship Odds +5000

Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers with 20 points, six rebounds, and five assists in Indiana’s Game 4 121-89 win.

T.J. McConnell came off the bench with 15 points and 10 assists.

Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Championship Odds +25000

Mitchell went off for 33 points on 12-of-22 shooting in the Game 3 loss, but he could’ve had more had it not been for Holiday’s defence on him.

Mitchell also only got to the free-throw line just three times and had just three assists, speaking to how well Boston was able to limit him despite his hot shooting.
