Nuggets | -140 |
Timberwolves | +185 |
Trail Blazers | +600 |
Jazz | +1200 |
Thunder | +15000 |
Nuggets -140
The Nuggets ended last season losing in the first round of the playoffs to the Warriors, but they are ready for a comeback this season. And they're having a promising offseason, as Nikola Jokic just agreed to a massive extension with the team. With the reigning MVP leading them and Jamal Murray expected back from injury, it's not shocking that the Nuggets are favored to win the division.
Timberwolves +185
The Timberwolves are not terribly far behind the Nuggets on this odds list after making it to the playoffs last year for the first time since 2018. They did lose to the Grizzlies in the first round, but they'll likely be wanting to make another push for the postseason this year. Plus, they acquired Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns just agreed to a huge extension, so keep an eye on these odds as the season begins.
Trail Blazers +600
The Trail Blazers missed out on the playoffs for the first time since 2013 this past season and they'll be hoping to rebound this year. The Blazers did win the Summer League Championship, however, as Damian Lillard learned while on an Instagram Live, so watch out for these odds if the team starts off hot.
Jazz +1200
The Jazz are a bit in flux with the Donovan Mitchell trade rumors swirling, so it is unknown what exactly this team will look like come the start of the season. They lost to the Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs this past season, so keep an eye on these odds as the Mitchell situation unfolds.
Thunder +15000
The Thunder have quite a bit of distance in their odds from the Jazz, as they were eliminated from the postseason for the second year in a row. They'll be hoping for a bounce back here with a lot of potential in Chet Holmgren, so watch out if these odds get shorter.
The Timberwolves could be a force to be reckoned with this season after adding Gobert from the Jazz and Anthony Edwards taking another step forward. Their title odds improved greatly after they added Gobert, so I would get in on their odds now before they possibly overtake the Nuggets on this list.
