DraftKings Sportsbook likes to provide us with a lot of useful sports betting information in the NBA. Most recently they provided us with the top 10 teams Sportsbook users are betting on to win the 2019-2020 NBA Finals. This list may not surprise you much, but it does shed some light on how a few teams are viewed by the public. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Top 10 Most Bet Teams to Win NBA Finals
| By Handle | Rank | By Bets |
|---|---|---|
| By Handle | Rank | By Bets |
| LA Lakers | 1 | LA Lakers |
| PHI 76ers | 2 | PHI 76ers |
| LA Clippers | 3 | LA Clippers |
| MIL Bucks | 4 | MIL Bucks |
| BOS Celtics | 5 | BOS Celtics |
| HOU Rockets | 6 | IND Pacers |
| MIA Heat | 7 | HOU Rockets |
| IND Pacers | 8 | DAL Mavericks |
| DAL Mavericks | 9 | MIA Heat |
| DEN Nuggets | 10 | DEN Nuggets |
The Philadelphia 76ers are the most surprising team at the top of this list, by far. Philly isn’t in a top 4 seed in the East and could end up having to make a title run entirely on the road all postseason, a place the Sixers have dreaded all season. Despite being the favorite to win it all, the Milwaukee Bucks sit as the fourth-highest bet on team to win the title. Bettors are still high on the Celtics and Rockets despite glaring holes in the front court. A notable team not on this list is the Utah Jazz, who have the depth and defensive mindset to make a playoff run.
