NBA Finals Betting Preview

Things have been underway in the National Basketball Association for a few weeks now and there are a number of top teams in contention to lift the trophy at the end of the season. There have been several interesting trades over the last while and this has resulted in a few new-look teams making big impressions with a new squad of talented players.

Last year, we saw the LA Lakers pull off what was a tremendous victory that simultaneously paid tribute to Kobe Bryant and also further ensconced Lebron James as one of the top players of all time. 

It appears as though the bookmakers fancy King James and his Los Angeles-based side to pull off back to back championships since they have installed them as the outright favourites not only to win the western conference but also to capture the NBA title once again. 

The odds are currently trading around a 7/2 margin for the Lakers to pull off another big tournament victory. They face really stiff competition from the Brooklyn Nets who have signed a cadre of quality players such as James Harden, Kevin Durant and several others chief among them. 

You’ll find the Nets available around a 50/13 price and that looks like good value if you think they are going to grow into themselves as the league season goes on. They don’t play a lot of defence on that team so you reckon their strategy is simply going to be based around overpowering the other side with a tremendous offensive display. 

The LA Clippers are the third favourite to win the NBA Title and they can be backed around a 6/1 best price with most major bookmakers. The other key side that could pull it off is the Milwaukee Bucks who had a great side last year and look ready to compete once again. You can back them at 7/1.
