The Golden State Warriors lead the way as Las Vegas favorites to win the NBA championship, but the LeBron James and the Cavs are not far behind. The Warriors have been the best team in the NBA this season since day one and have a league leading 42-9 record but the Cavs hit a good stride going into the break winning 14 of thier last 16 games.
According to William Hill’s sportsbook in Nevada, more money has been bet on the Warriors to win the title than any other team. The Warriors have 12-5 odd to win the title followed by Cavs 3-1. The Warriors opened the season with 15-1 odds of winning the title but the Cavs have made the biggest push after starting with 40-1 odds before LeBron decided to leave Miami and come back home to Cleveland.
Only time will tell how this plays out but it seems that there is always a team that gets hot late and makes a title run. The Warriors have been on top all year and the Cavs are hot now but will this last all season or could these teams have peaked out early. I would love to watch these two teams in a 7-game finals series, they are both loaded with stars and it would be very entertaining to watch.
