The Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers are both going for their third straight conference titles this year in the West and East, respectively. And each of them are heavy favorites to make it to the NBA Finals again.

But the Warriors have a tougher path this season, and the Cavaliers do not have the top seed, making it a bigger challenge for them to advance compared to the previous two years.

That being said, Cleveland (51-31) is still a stronger favorite to advance from the East at -275 despite being the No. 2 seed in the conference while Golden State (67-15) is -250 to win the West as the top seed.
