NBA Finals Odds Have Bucks as Slight Favorites Ahead of Tough Western Conference Competition

Yet again, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are storming toward the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

They're averaging the second-most points per game in the NBA with 119.2, while holding teams to just 107.3 points per game. They're now 32-6, five games ahead of the Boston Celtics for the No. 1 seed in the East, and they have the best odds to win the 2020 NBA title at +300, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

The Bucks beat the Clippers 119-91 tonight.

Beyond the Bucks, both Los Angeles teams make an appearance. The Lakers and Clippers are tied for the second-best odds to hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy this Summer at +320.

That's where the drop off gets pretty steep.

The Rockets are currently tabbed as the fourth most likely team to win the NBA Championship at +950, before a second team from the Eastern Conference, the Philadelphia 76ers, checks in at +1200.
