The NBA regular season will begin on Tuesday, October 24 when the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets will play against each other followed by the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors on a TNT doubleheader on NBA opening night. That will be the night when the Nuggets will raise the championship banner and get their 2022-2023 NBA Championship Rings.
They defeated the Miami Heat in five games of the NBA Finals last season. Denver is looking to repeat this season. Who has the best NBA odds via FanDuel Sportsbook to win the NBA Championship this season?
Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics +380
The Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics both have the best odds to win the NBA title in 2024. Milwaukee was the one seed last season in the Eastern Conference and Boston was the two seed last season in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks are loaded up with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard as a pairing. Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, and Malik Beasley will round up their starting five.
Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics starting five this season will feature Al Horford, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, and former Milwaukee Bucks point guard, Jrue Holiday. Holiday was a lockdown defender and the Bucks are going to miss that. This feels like a collision course for an Eastern Conference Finals matchup this season and Joe Mazulla is the head coach of Boston and AJ Griffin Jr. is the head coach of Milwaukee.
Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns +550
The Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns have the second-best odds to win the 2024 NBA Championship via FanDuel Sportsbook. Denver and Phoenix feel like the two best teams in the Western Conference. The Nuggets were the one seed last season in the west and the Suns were the four seed last season in the west. Denver took out Phoenix in six games and it was their biggest challenge last postseason by a mile.
The Denver Nuggets’ big three are Nikola Jokic, Michael Porter Jr., and Jamal Murray. The Phoenix Suns’ big three are Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker. Beal was acquired via trade from the Washington Wizards. Frank Vogel is Phoenix’s head coach and Michael Malone is Denver’s head coach.
