The reigning champion Celtics aren’t far behind OKC, sitting at +200, previewing what could be a competitive NBA Finals.
The Cavaliers, who surprised many this season, winning 64 games and securing the No. 1 seed in the East, are the third-favorites at +550.
The veteran-laden Lakers (+1000) and Warriors (+1400) round out the top-five.
