There has been a noticeable impact on the NBA futures markets as a result of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving remaining with the Brooklyn Nets. As the Nets odds are adjusted to reflect this news, we examine the odds for each team to win the NBA Finals in 2023.
The Golden State Warriors opened with odds of +1200 to win the NBA Finals last offseason. The Warriors went on to win its fourth title in eight seasons under the leadership of Steve Kerr and the star power of Stephen Curry.
Will Stephen Curry lead the Warriors to back-to-back NBA titles, or will a new team emerge and take home the Larry O'Brien Trophy?
Below we examine the NBA Finals odds and where the value is currently located.

2022-23 NBA Finals Picks: Favorites
The Celtics opened at +4000 to win the NBA Championship last offseason and are now opening at a price as low as +700 this offseason. Danilo Galinari and Malcolm Brogdon have been added to their roster without losing anyone of significance, but with their playoff run still fresh in our minds, the +550 price point is too low in my eyes.
Although Curry is getting older, one could argue that the Warriors are only getting better. Three young high draft picks, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, and James Wiseman have yet to contribute significantly to the team. Andrew Wiggins also made significant progress in the playoffs and he is still only 27 years of age. I would fade the price here, rather than the team, because it is significantly lower than what the Warriors opened at last season.
