Every Team's Odds to Win the NBA Championship Following 2023-24 Schedule Release
By Peter Dewey
The 2023-24 NBA season is still two months away, but the league released its full schedule on Thursday evening, allowing fans to get a glimpse into what is to come for their squads.
The NBA will have a new format this season with the league’s In-Season Tournament taking place in early December, a new twist that breaks up the regular season.
While the schedule release shouldn’t change the odds much – if it all – in the futures market, it does provide insight to some key areas to look at.
One of those is how many back-to-backs each team has to play, as that could be a sign for players getting rest days. Also, some teams have really struggled on the second night in back-to-backs in recent seasons.
Another is strength of schedule, which has been provided already by Tankathon. This is based on the record of each team in the 2022-23 season.
For bettors, it’s a good time to refresh on the futures market, and maybe place a bet or two on a team with a favorable draw in the 2023-24 season.
