2023 NBA Finals Odds: Surprise Team Joins Warriors, Celtics and Nets as Co-Favorites
The Golden State Warriors got back to the top of the mountain, beating the Boston Celtics 103-90 to clinch their fourth NBA title in the last eight years. Stephen Curry got his elusive Finals MVP and returns to San Francisco with a complete trophy case.
While the Warriors prepare for their championship parade, the planning for next season has already started. Several teams have already made moves – like the Dallas Mavericks trading for Christian Wood – and are ready to knock Golden State down a level.
As of right now, the odds say the Warriors are going to be the hunted and the Celtics are going to be in a position to get another title next year. Additionally, the Brooklyn Nets are back near the top of the board despite some uncertainty with the top of their roster.
One other name that may surprise you up near the top? The Los Angeles Clippers.
L.A. is tied with the Nets at +700 to win the Finals in 2023, hoping for a healthy roster for the first full season since Kawhi Leonard joined the team.
