Bovada bookmaker, one of the biggest USA Sports Betting Sites, made another update to it’s 2015 NBA Championship odds. As you might have guessed, Cavs odds continue to decrease.
During the summer, after LeBron and Love arrival, they were marked as the favorites with 4-1. After a slow 5W-7L start they went to 5-1. Then 6-1 in the end of year after and after the recent 6 in-a-row loosing streak they are standing at 7-1. Surprisingly, they are still rated as #4, however it won’t last, unless they manage to become a team vs. a group of All-Star players.
Luckily, they still have plenty of time to do that. With how the East conference looks this season, they actually have till June. With all the respect to the excellent season the Hawks have, it’s hard to imagine they will be able to perform on that level when it really matters.
The only team which presents a real threat are the Bulls. However, considering the frequent health problems and their instability, 5/1 odds are a bit surprising.
But again, it’s still to early. We will check back again in May to see where the Cavs stand. Meanwhile, here is the full list:
