Now that the NBA trade deadline has passed and most of the bought-out players have signed, which team is the favourite to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy in June?

Oddsmakers still have the Boston Celtics (7/2) as the favourites after the dust has settled. A successful $100 bet on Boston would return $350 in profit. The phoenix Suns (9/2) stunned everyone with their blockbuster acquistion of Kelvin Durant and they now have the second-best odds to win it all. Prior to the KD trade, Phoenix had the ninth-best odds (20/1), but now they trail only Boston, meaning hey have the best odds in the Western Conference (+450).

Rounding out the top-five are the Milwaukee Bucks 923/4), Denver Nuggets (8/1), Los Angeles Clippers (12/1) and Philadelphia 76ers (12/1).

While the Brooklyn Nets were a top contender several weeks ago (at 8/1), their odds dipped to 22/1 after the Kyrie Irving trade and then 80/1 after the Durant trade. The Dallas Mavericks (14/1) jumped to the seventh-best odds after acquiring Irving. Other teams with worsening odds are the Golden State Warriors (9/1 to 14/1). Memphis Grizzlies (11/1 to 18/1). Los Angeles Lakers (20/1 to 25/1) and New Orleans Pelicans (20/1 to 33/1).

Here’s a look at each team’s championship odds as of Feb 13, 2023
