With the start of the new NBA season just around the corner, just three weeks away in fact, it is time to get excited again as a basketball fan and this season is due to be one of the best seasons on record due to the build-up, preseason, fans returning to stadiums and more. Due to this, we thought we’d investigate who are the favourites for the championship this year and why they have got a chance.
The heavy favourites, as they were last year at the beginning of the season, is the Brooklyn Nets who are seen as the dream team in the NBA right now. They have an all-star roaster including James Harden, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving and if all these playing can be firing on the same wavelength, then you might as well wrap up the league now. However last season they did all struggle with injury so the Nets backroom staff will be working on this to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. The Nets are currently priced at +240.
Whilst basketball punters wait for the new season to start, we have seen many migrating to casinogenie.org to use their casino markets to create a profit before the season starts. They have a range of games to choose from including roulette, blackjack, poker and many promotional deals designed to improve your gambling experience.
The Lakers though will be looking to see if they can improve their injury record as well and claim back their title from the Milwaukee Bucks and are currently second favourites priced at +400. Lakers have also been busy in the off season as they have acquired Russel Westbrook from the Wizards as well as free agent Carmelo Anthony. The only issue with this Lakers side, is that many people believe that there are too many Indians, and not enough chiefs in this camp but the Lakers will be looking to prove doubters wrong.
And finally, the current champions Milwaukee Bucks will be looking to see if they can defend their title priced at +900 but we all know that defending a title is much harder than winning one. The Bucks will be chuffed to know that then have kept hold of star player Giannis Antetokounmpo and will need him firing on all cylinders if they are going to win again and they certainly do have a chance as he is the best prospect in world basketball right now.
