With the NBA establishing a plan to return in just under two months, pending the Board of Governors’ approval, sportsbooks won’t have to lean on unique events (i.e. ESPN’s “The Last Dance) or less mainstream sports anymore.
When reports of the league’s plans surfaced, SportsLine made sure to get some odds out for sports bettors — the first set being the NBA title lines.
Of course, the Los Angeles Lakers (+240), Milwaukee Bucks (+260) and Los Angeles Clippers (+320) still have the three best odds to win the 2020 NBA Finals.
Scrolling down SportsLine’s list, the Brooklyn Nets pop up +4000 odds to win it all, tied with the Miami Heat and the Utah Jazz — the latter of which lost Bojan Bogdanovic for the rest of the season during the league’s hiatus due to surgery.
