So as the new season draws near, which teams have the best chance of raising the Larry O’Brien Trophy in 2022?
To no surprise, the Nets lead the way among preseason NBA championship favorites with +225 odds, according to our partner, PointsBet.
Behind Brooklyn is the Los Angeles Lakers with +350 title odds. The 2020 NBA champions were doomed by an Anthony Davis injury in a first-round playoff loss to the runner-up Phoenix Suns.
There’s a sizable gap between the Lakers and the team with the next-best title odds, which is the defending champions at +800.
