When LeBron James decided to leave the Miami Heat in favor of a return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, many believed they instantly became the favorite to win the NBA Title.

Las Vegas also instantly made the Cavaliers the favorite to win the title as well. Since then all the Cavaliers have done is add one of the most productive players in the NBA in power forward Kevin Love, a solid do-it-all veteran forward Shawn Marion and a group of shooters that includes James’ former Heat teammate and friend Mike Miller.

Now the Cavaliers are 5/2 favorite to win the title.

The defending Champion San Antonio Spurs have 4/1 odds while the Chicago Bulls, who will get Derrick Rose back from injury and added Pau Gasol, are next with 11/2 odds.
