2024 NBA Finals Odds: Nuggets Favored To Repeat; Where Celtics Sit
The Heat aren’t receiving much respect
The Denver Nuggets claimed the organization's first-ever NBA championship Monday after defeating the Miami Heat 4-1 in the 2023 Finals.
Oddsmakers give the Nuggets a noticeably better chance to get back to that stage as opposed to the Heat.
Denver (+460) is tied for the shortest odds at FanDuel Sportsbook to win the 2024 NBA Finals. Miami, on the other hand, is well down the betting sheet (27-1) with nine teams currently carrying shorter odds to win the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
The Boston Celtics (5-1) and Los Angeles Lakers (15-1) also find themselves in the mix after reaching their respective conference finals.
2024 NBA Finals odds, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook:
Denver Nuggets +460
Milwaukee Bucks +460
Boston Celtics +500
Phoenix Suns +700
Golden State Warriors +1200
Philadelphia 76ers +1300
Los Angeles Lakers +1500
Cleveland Cavaliers +2100
Los Angeles Clippers +2300
Miami Heat +2700
Dallas Mavericks +2700
Memphis Grizzlies +3000
The Bucks (+460) currently are tied with the Nuggets for the shortest odds of any team despite the fact they were dealt a first-round exit after recording the best regular-season record in the NBA.
Boston has a number of questions to answer this offseason. But the Green have made it a clear priority to add to the Joe Mazzulla-led coaching staff, reportedly agreeing to add top assistant Charles Lee and veteran assistant Sam Cassell.
