The Denver Nuggets just won their first NBA title, and are favorites to repeat again next season.
That’s via the latest odds from Caesars Sportsbook, that has the Nuggets at +475 favorites to hoist the trophy again.
Behind them are the Boston Celtics (+575), Milwaukee Bucks (+700) and Phoenix Suns (+850). The Golden State Warriors fall in after that in a three-way tie for fifth place at 12-1 with the Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers.
The Warriors were the favorites at the end of last season when they themselves won the title, but a season of injuries and poor play from their young players ended in disappointment in the second round.
Rumor has it that the Warriors are considering bringing most of the team back next season with Bob Myers no longer in tow. Jordan Poole is reportedly not being shopped by Golden State.
