Prior to the start of the season, the Boston Celtics were the favorites to win it all at +310 on DraftKings Sportsbook. And for good reason, as they were the defending champs. But injuries decimated their season and a new champion was crowned.

The Oklahoma City Thunder had the second-lowest preseason odds of hoisting the Larry O’Brien trophy at +700 on Oct. 17, 2024. After a dominant regular season, the Thunder completed the journey with a Game 7 win in the Finals on Sunday, June 22.

The Indiana Pacers were at +6000 on Oct. 17, 2024, the 16th-lowest odds. They came within one game of being crowned, so don’t dismiss those teams lower down the ladder.

That being said, the odds for the 2025-26 NBA Finals are already up on DraftKings Sportsbook.

The Thunder are the current favorites at +240. They are the defending champions, are young and could be the next dynasty in the NBA.

After the Kevin Durant trade, the Houston Rockets are tied for second at +750 with the New York Knicks.

The Orlando Magic added Desmond Bane and are +1800 to win it all, while the Indiana Pacers, who will likely be without Tyrese Haliburton next season, are also +1800.

Here’s how the rest of the field stacks up:

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
