Since 1985 - longest preseason odds to win the NBA Championship of teams to reach the NBA Finals
2025-26 San Antonio: +6600
2024-25 Indiana: +6600
2021-22 Boston: +4000
2020-21 Phoenix: +4000
2019-20 Miami: +6000
2007-08 LA Lakers: +3000
2001-02 New Jersey: +6000
1989-90 Portland: +3500
San Antonio opens at -200 for the Finals and will try to be the first team with +3000 or higher preseason odds to win the NBA Finals
I could hear the argument the line is bad (live lines usually are). But not the nba finals part. More ebbs and flows now and 3s easier to win from far back. Regular season game should have same odds.
By same logic Knicks should be way shorter than -500 to win series.
Coming into the Western Conference Finals, the Golden Knights were +2850 to sweep the Avalanche, the longest odds on the board for exact series result.
