We’re a few games after the All-Star break and start having an idea on which teams are favorites to make it to the 2024 NBA Championship. Obviously the Pistons, Raptors, Wizards, Spurs, Blazers, and Grizzlies don’t have a chance at all (sorry fans of these teams).

Oddly enough (no, this wasn’t a pun), there are some surprises in these odds:

Lakers having higher odds than the Cavaliers.
Suns having higher odds than #1 and #2 seeded Timberwolves / Thunder.
Warriors having slightly worse odds than Cavaliers, who are #2 seed in East.
