The Golden State Warriors are set at a line of -160 to take home their third Larry O’Brien Trophy in four years, which makes them the clear betting favorite on the NBA championship odds with the start of the regular season fast approaching.

However, the Warriors losing either Stephen Curry or Kevin Durant to injury would most likely put them behind the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are listed as the +450 second choice on those futures to earn their second title in three years behind LeBron James.
In what could again be the last year for James in Cleveland before he possibly bolts for another team like the much-rumored Los Angeles Lakers in free agency, the Cavaliers are an intriguing possibility considering they still have the best player in the league.
