It looks like one of the next sports to come back online in the United States is the National Basketball Association and they have had to undertake some fairly intense measures in order to ensure that the season resumes and that the 2020 iteration of the NBA will be able to come to a conclusion.

There are a few marquee players who have opted out of heading to Orlando to play in the NBA bubble. There has definitely been some negative feedback from players who are now basically living in isolation and eating underwhelming food while posting the results on Instagram.
Regardless of that we do have action coming back this Thursday with the Utah Jazz taking on Zion Williams and the New Orleans Pelicans. You can bank on this being an important step forward in getting the full resumption of sports.
Taking a look at the betting odds to actually win the conferences and play-off competitions you’ll find that the Los Angeles Lakers are getting the edge to secure both the western conference and the NBA Championship itself with prices of 8/5 and 5/2, respectively. The Lakers face stiff competition from from the Los Angeles Clippers in their home division.
The Eastern conference looks to be favouring the Milwaukee Bucks with a price of around 13/5 being floated by the bookmakers to actually win the trophy outright. They had been putting together some great performances prior to the season shutdown and if they can come back with that much momentum we will have a lot of interesting outcomes available.
The Los Angeles Clippers are an interesting price of around 10/3 to win the NBA Championship while they trade at 9/5 to usurp the Lakers in the Western Conference. The odds then take a considerable jump to 16/1 for the Houston Rockets.
