Since Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are set to suit up for the Nets at the start of the 2020-21 NBA season — whenever that ends up being — Brooklyn should be viewed as one of the next year’s few serious title contenders.
SportsBetting.com has the Nets as the favorites to win the Eastern Conference, surpassing Giannis Antetokounpo’s Milwaukee Bucks, trailing only the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers as 2021 NBA champion favorites.
But it turns out the Nets aren’t guaranteed to be the top Eastern Conference team entering 2020-21 for every sportsbook.
For instance, the Nets were given the same odds as the Boston Celtics to win the Eastern Conference Finals (15/4) and the 2021 NBA Finals (12/1) by BetOnline.ag. Instead, the Bucks (7/2, 9/1) are the sportsbook’s favorites out of the East.
Additionally, BetOnline.ag thinks the Golden Warriors have a better chance at winning the 2021 Finals (9/1) than the Nets.
