Every Playoff Teams Chances To Win The NBA Championship

The playoffs are locked in, and now we just have to wait and see what the outcome is Here are each team’s chances to win an NBA Championship!

Let’s start with the two number one seeds, first up, the Nuggets. The Denver Nuggets have a 10.9 percent chance to win the Championship currently on Fanduel. The Nuggets are about a +1000 underdog to win the championship. The team lacks depth, despite their great starting five.

The other number one seed in the playoffs is the Bucks, whose chances are far more favorable. The Milwaukee Bucks are the favorite to win it all at +240 on Fanduel. Giannis has already won a championship in the past few years, and the team has proved its ability to go the distance.

Transitioning into the second seed in the west, we have the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies odds of winning a championship are at +1800, according to Fanduel. The odds are not great because of the immaturity of the team. With star Ja Morant leading the way, the team is talented but young; they need to prove they have that championship mindset.

The second seed in the east is the Boston Celtics, who have a +350 on Fanduel. The Celtics have proven to have the ability to make it all the way; last year, they gave the Warriors a real battle for the championship title. Leaders Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown are great players, and the team as a whole is strong defensively.

The third seed in the west is the Sacramento Kings, who have a +5000 on Fanduel. This unfortunate chance of winning is mostly due to its defense, which has allowed an average of 118 points per game. The offense is one of the best in the league, so if they can figure it out defensively, they may have a chance.

The third seed in the east is the Philidelphia 76ers, led by MVP frontrunner Joel Embiid. The 76ers have a +1000 on Fanduel. Philadelphia is strong, and they have been consistent contenders, but they do not have a history of getting it done. Harden will need to play at his best if they want to see a trophy at the end of their journey.

The Pheonix Suns hold the fourth seed in the west; they have a +480 chance of winning it all on Fanduel. The Suns are extremely talented, led by Durant, Booker, Paul, and Ayton. They can beat any team if each of their stars plays to their highest potential.

The fourth seed in the east is held by the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have a +4600 chance of winning on Fanduel. The Cavaliers are led by Donovan Mitchell, who is a great guard, but their perimeter defense is not at a high level, and that is less than ideal with so many talented shooters in the league.

The fifth seed in the west comes from Los Angeles, one of two LA teams in the playoffs. The Clippers have a +5000 on Fanduel. The Clippers are a stacked team with Westbrook, Leonard, and George, but they get injured quickly.

The Knicks are fifth in the east, and their odds of winning a championship are at +10000. The New York Knicks have tough odds to make it all the way due to the talent in the East. They have a solid team, but their shooting has proven to not be on par with the other teams in the conference.

The defending NBA champions fall to the sixth seed this year after a tough season on the road. The Warriors have +850 odds on Fanduel. The team has proven itself time and time again once playoff time comes around, but this year their chances on the road have been rough. If the Warriors can figure out how to win consistently on the road, they may repeat as champions.

The sixth seed in the east is the Brooklyn Nets; the Nets have a +3700 on Fanduel. This team was arguably the most talented team in the league at the beginning of the year but has lost its top talent to other teams.

The play-in games resulted in the Los Angeles Lakers securing the seventh seed after an overtime win against the Timberwolves. The Lakers have a +2100 on Fanduel, which is a good chance considering their journey thus far. With Lebron James leading the team, anything is possible, but they will have to overcome chemistry issues and sustain no injuries.

The Atlanta Hawks beat the Miami Heat to secure the seventh seed in the east. The Hawks hold a +18000 on Fanduel, which is the lowest chance we have mentioned. Trae Young leads the Hawks as a great scorer, but his defense has not kept up with the bigger guys in the league.

The eastern conference’s eighth seed is the Miami Heat, who won the second round of the play-in against the Bulls. The Heat are at +13000 on Fanduel; they have one of the toughest opponents in the first round, the Bucks. Jimmy Butler has to show up each game if he wants to lead his team to a championship.

The eighth seed in the western conference is the Minnesota Timberwolves, who defeated the Thunder in the play-in. The Timberwolves are at +18000 on Fanduel, which is fitting due to their position. They still have a chance as long as Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns are on the floor.
