What’s on the table today?: NBA Title Odds for Playoff/Play-In teams
Tonight the NBA’s second annual Play in Tournament begins with the Cavs at the Nets and the Clippers at the T-Wolves.
The Wolves are favored by (-3) while the Nets are an (-8 ½) favorite against the Cavs who are making their first postseason appearance without LeBron James since the 1997-1998 season.
The Bucks are the No. 3 seed in the East, and the defending champions are the second favorite to win the NBA championship. The Bucks have arguably the easiest first-round matchup in the East as Chicago has completely fallen off and does not play good defense. Giannis Antetokounmpo could legitimately average 35-10-10 in this series. The Bucks swept the Bulls in the regular season and have won 16 of the last 17 versus Chicago.
