NBA handicappers believe these teams can win the title
Brooklyn Nets
The Nets became favorites the moment they traded for James Harden. The Beard, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving are healthy and ready to lead Brooklyn to a title. NBA bettors have called bookie agents looking to bet Brooklyn. Action is so hot that the Nets are solid favorites to win the championship.
Los Angeles Clippers
Oddsmaking agents have pegged the Clippers the second-choice to win the title. LAC made an essential trade for veteran point guard Rajon Rondo. Kawhi Leonard has stepped up his game. Leonard averages 24.8 points per.
Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron James and Anthony Davis are healthy. That makes the Lakers one of the favorites to win rings. But Los Angeles must beat the Golden State Warriors or win on Friday, May 21, in the NBA In-Play Tournament to make it to the NBA Playoffs.
Utah Jazz
The Jazz ended the regular season with the NBA’s best record. Not only that, but the Jazz also enter the postseason with the league’s top point differential, 9.2. A PPH sports agent’s players could look at point differential, how many points a team scores compared to how many they give up, as the critical factor in determining bets.
Milwaukee Bucks
Milwaukee has a chance as long as two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo plays. This season, after acquiring Jrue Holiday, the Bucks became more potent in the backcourt. Antetokounmpo, Holiday, and Khris Middleton make Milwaukee formidable.
Philadelphia 76ers
Joel Embiid is one of the best players in the league. Even though agents offering free betting software haven’t received as much action on the Sixers to win the title as other Eastern Conference teams, the 76ers grabbed the 1-seed.
Phoenix Suns
The Western Conference’s 2-seed, Phoenix sends a Big 3 to the court. Chris Paul at point, Devin Booker at shooting guard, and DeAndre Ayton at center make the Suns legitimate contenders. The Suns went 24-12 on the road, which was the best road record in the league.
NBA handicappers believe these teams are underdogs
Miami Heat
Last season’s Eastern Conference Champions escaped the play-in tournament by grabbing the sixth seed. Miami has an outside shot at winning the title. If Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo turn it up a notch, the Heat will be dangerous.
Golden State Warriors
Even LeBron James believes Steph Curry deserves the NBA MVP. Curry averages 32 points, which is why online bookies have seen NBA playoff betting dollars flow to the Warriors. Golden State must beat the Lakers or win their second in-play game to make the playoffs.
Dallas Mavericks
Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis led the Mavericks to the fifth-seed. Betting on NBA experts noticed Dallas is the same amount of games, 10, away from top-seed Utah as the Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Lakers.
Portland Trail Blazers
Sportsbook Reddit bookies are waiting for money to land on the Portland Trail Blazers. Damian Lillard figures to step into another gear. Last season, Lillard won the NBA in Orlando MVP.
New York Knicks
The New York Knicks rank third in three-point percentage. That should give the Knicks an edge in many of their playoff games. If Julius Randle and R.J. Barrett get hot, the Knicks could upset some teams.
