The 2022 NBA playoffs are about to get underway with the play-in tournament starting April 12. This tournament will determine the No. 7 and No. 8 seeds in each conference and while there has been some criticism of the bracket, it is here for at least another season.
Even though these teams involved in the play-in game are not typically considered title contenders, they still have some odds to reach and win the NBA Finals. Here’s a look at the title odds for each play-in team courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
2022 NBA title odds
Brooklyn Nets: +600
Los Angeles Clippers: +3500
Minnesota Timberwolves: +11000
Atlanta Hawks: +18000
Cleveland Cavaliers: +25000
Charlotte Hornets: +50000
New Orleans Pelicans: +50000
San Antonio Spurs: +100000
The Nets entered the season as favorites to win the title and while the circumstances around the team have changed, Brooklyn remains a dangerous group with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. The Clippers would have higher odds if there was a chance Kawhi Leonard could return. After those two teams, there’s a clear drop in odds. The Timberwolves have the best shot of the remaining group per the oddsmakers, but the Atlanta Hawks could be worth monitoring after a run to the conference finals last season.
