Who is the Favorite to win the NBA Playoffs?

Right now the favorite across all the top sportsbooks are the Brooklyn Nets at +225. This only makes them the relative favorite, not the absolute. This means that the field is still likely to take it away from them, In other words, this is still a wide-open competition. Check out the odds for the NBA Championship 2021 from top basketball betting sites.

Utah Jazz to Win the NBA Championship

While we still have some weeks until the NBA Final Championship, it is a great time to look into the underdog strategy. Later, these underdog teams will gain momentum and be less valuable as wagers. Smart bettors know that we are in the sweet spot where we can make smart predictions, but that are still off the radar for the 2021 NBA Championship.

The top-seeded Utah Jazz is woefully undervalued by bookies. At +800 at MyBookie, you can really make a killing if they come out on top. By wagering $100, this winning bet slip will give you an $800 profit.

While teams like the Lakers and Nets seem better when at full strength, they have been riddled with key injuries, and the Jazz have been playing at the top of their game. While we cannot be sure that they will win the whole tournament, the huge profit here is well worth the relative risk.

NBA Outright Winners Odds
Brooklyn Nets	+240	+225	+250
Los Angeles Lakers	+500	+400	+375
Los Angeles Clippers	+550	+500	+400
Utah Jazz	+650	+650	+800
Milwaukee Bucks	+900	+900	+900
Philadelphia 76ers	+800	+900	+900
Phoenix Suns	+1400	+1500	+1700
Denver Nuggets	+2600	+2500	+2100

Brooklyn Nets to Win the Eastern Conference

While we are moving the Brooklyn Nets out of their top spot to win the 2021 NBA Championship, we still think they will win their Eastern Conference. After all, as the favorite to win the NBA Championship, it would be a long-shot to assume that they will lose the Conference.

The Nets have had a few injuries and have been doing great either way. With a healthier roster on the horizon, expect them to get even stronger.

Brooklyn Nets	-115	-115	TBA
Milwaukee Bucks	+325	+300	TBA
Philadelphia 76ers	+550	+400	TBA
Miami Heat	+1000	+1200	TBA
Boston Celtics	+2000	+2200	TBA
Indiana Pacers	+3000	+2800	TBA
