Now let's examine the odds on each team remaining and try to figure out the best possible play when picking an NBA champion.
NBA Finals Odds*
The Denver Nuggets are a considerable favorite to win the NBA Championship at +115 odds, edging out the Boston Celtics (+145) and far ahead of both the LA Lakers (+850) and the Miami Heat (+850).
If you're gunning for a big payout, that means we should at least look into the longshots.
Let's start with the Lakers. Their path is the most difficult of any team, needing to take four of six games from Denver – the favorite – to advance.
Though they have two elite players in LeBron James and Anthony Davis, this bet could essentially be over if they lose their next game. So, let's avoid LA here.
Miami, on the other hand, is a very intriguing underdog. The Heat have proven to be one of the most mentally resilient teams in the NBA, led by Jimmy Butler, a player who thrives in the clutch.
Even if Miami is 1-1 after Game 2, they still have a puncher's chance at advancing past Boston, especially when you consider how much the C's struggled with both the Hawks and the 76ers while their star players were inconsistent at times.
Of course, you could target the Nuggets or Celtics, instead, but let's be real: taking a big swing at futures odds inside 2-to-1 just doesn't get the juices flowing.
Why not take the Heat to win it all with the longest odds on the board and get refunded at FanDuel if they lose?!
