A few things that stand out:

Even with the injury to Kevin Durant and the inability of Kyrie Irving to play home games, the Brooklyn Nets are still the favorites to win the NBA title. They were the preseason favorite and amidst all the chaos they still sit firmly in pole position.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ odds sat at +400 in the preseason and have lengthened considerably to their current number of +1000. Sitting at .500 at press time, Anthony Davis’ impending return may shorten these odds.

Although the Memphis Grizzlies currently have the third-best winning percentage in both the Western Conference and the entire NBA, at +3500, they are trailing 11 teams on the NBA Championship odds list.
