Odds to win the 2017 NBA title as of Nov. 1, according to Sportsbook.ag.
The Warriors are overwhelming favorites to win it all after falling short in the NBA Finals last season. Kevin Durant joins Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and company.
The Cavs are looking to repeat with their core of LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love still intact. They're overwhelming favorites to win the Eastern Conference at 1/3.
The loss of Tim Duncan shouldn't impact the Spurs too much on the court. The team could be better after adding Pau Gasol to Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge.
L.A.'s big three of Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan has still yet to match expectations, but the trio is certainly capable. The Clippers remain clearly the best home team in the Staples Center.
One of the most talented young rosters in the NBA, Boston is improving quickly. The addition of Al Horford gives the Celtics veteran punch alongside Isaiah Thomas, Avery Bradley and Jae Crowder.
Even after losing Kevin Durant, the Thunder looks to remain competitive led by Russell Westbrook. He's been on a tear through three games, averaging a triple-double in the early going.
Toronto challenged the Cavs in the playoffs last season and brought back DeMar DeRozan. Along with Kyle Lowry, the Raptors have the talent to go far in the playoffs.
Dwight Howard is now the most well-known player on the Hawks after coming over from Houston in the offseason, but Paul Millsap is likely their best player. The team can certainly compete in the paint.
The Bulls were the most disappointing team in the NBA last season and have seen some significant turnover on their roster. Gone are Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, while homegrown veteran Dwyane Wade signed in the offseason. This version of the Bulls won't necessarily be better, but they'll certainly be different.
Damian Lillard has started the season on a tear, averaging 35 points through three games. Lillard and C.J. McCollum will need to be the driving forces in the playoffs for Portland to make a run.
The Grizzlies have a strong core with Mike Conley, Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph. They're hoping to go much further in the playoffs in 2017.
Paul George leads the Pacers again with the help of new teammate Thaddeus Young. Indiana has high hopes for improvement this season with that combo.
Even if Minnesota isn't ready to compete for a title yet, fans have reason to be excited. The Timberwolves have a great young core led by Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns.
Derrick Rose was the big-ticket item added to the Knicks, joining Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis. The team still has a long way to climb compared to last season.
A relatively balanced team, the Jazz doesn't have the star power of many of the other Western Conference juggernauts. Utah has a steep hill to climb in the West.
Tobias Harris and Andre Drummond are off to strong starts this season, but head coach Stan Van Gundy still has a tough task ahead in the Eastern Conference.
James Harden is an MVP candidate, and the Rockets are probably better off after turning the page on the Dwight Howard era. Still, they're now lacking in the paint.
Miami is in rebuilding mode after letting Dwyane Wade get away in the offseason. Hassan Whiteside leads the team in scoring early in the year.
John Wall and Bradley Beal lead one of the best backcourts in the NBA, but the Wizards still have a long way to go in the East.
Milwaukee added Matthew Dellavedova to a promising young roster that includes Jabari Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, they've started off slow at 1-2.
Anthony Davis is healthy and showing himself as a difference maker again. He's averaged nearly 38 points through three games.
DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay don't have much help in Sacramento, but the team has started the season at 2-2. Depth is a major issue as the team gets deeper into the season.
Kemba Walker continues to progress as the star of the Hornets, and they've added interesting size with Roy Hibbert in the offseason.
It's been a rough start to the season for Orlando, and there's not much sign of an immediate turnaround. Evan Fournier has opened the season as the team's top scorer.
Dirk Nowitzki remains the Mavs' top scorer, which says as much about his talent as it does a roster that isn't what it was a few years ago. They're a major long shot to make noise this season.
The eventual upside of the 76ers is immense, but they already lost first overall pick Ben Simmons to a foot injury and are dispersing minutes evenly among their young roster.
The young Nuggets have a more immediate goal of making the playoffs, led by forward Danilo Gallinari, than competing for a championship.
The post-Kobe Bryant era features a young roster led by D'Angelo Russell, Julius Randle and Brandon Ingram. The team will need time to mold under new head coach Luke Walton.
The Nets are lacking much talent or identity and have been led by Bojan Bogdanovic and Jeremy Lin early in the year. Even making the playoffs would seem like a miracle.
T.J. Warren is off to a hot start for the Suns, but they have started the season at 0-4. The odds could get even longer.
