The NBA games are over, and the Oklahoma City Thunder are your new NBA champions. However, people are already curious as to what BetUS is hanging for next season’s NBA Championship odds. The oddsmakers at BetUS are already on it and are offering prices on the Thunder to repeat as champs as well as all 29 other teams in pursuit of NBA glory.
There were plenty of NBA rumors swirling about how competitive the Indiana Pacers would be with a healthy Tyrese Haliburton, but injuries hobbled the rising star, culminating in a torn Achilles in the series’ pivotal Game 7. Haliburton could only watch and hope that his Pacers would do the unthinkable and knock off the prohibitive favorites.
However, taking OKC to seven games was much more than many dreamed was possible, but Indiana ultimately bowed, 103-91, amid a raucous Oklahoma City crowd that was relieved that what many believed would be a coronation turned into a fiercely fought competition.
There are no more NBA games today, and it won’t be until October 21st when the NBA schedule begins again for real. But that hasn’t stopped the oddsmakers at BetUS from being among the first in the industry to offer futures odds for next season’s champions.
The OKC roster will look remarkably similar to what we just saw on the court, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be seismic changes throughout the league. The first domino to fall occurred on Sunday night when Kevin Durant was shipped to Houston, making the Rockets a serious contender in the West.
The OKC Thunder standings showed them winning 68 games, giving them the No. 1 seed and earning them the moniker, the “Best in the West.” They were undoubtedly the team to beat this season, and they didn’t disappoint their fans or those who backed them in their NBA picks. However, the NBA standings in October will reflect that all is even before the grind of an 82-game schedule.
It’s all shiny and new when the season commences, and although BetUS has installed the Thunder as favorites to win their second consecutive title, there is plenty of value to be had with many of the other contenders and those deemed as pretenders.
The Houston Rockets have seen their championship odds tumble since Kevin Durant was shipped from the desert to H-Town. However, we would be remiss if we didn’t point out some of the other championship threats, including the New York Knicks, the Boston Celtics, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
But that’s only a smattering of the many options a sports bettor will have as they gear up for another NBA season. And let’s not forget, BetUS is the pioneer of the novelty props market that includes the world of entertainment, commerce, science, politics, and just about any trending topic that is happening today.
At BetUS, offering odds on sports is not all we do. The BetUS oddsmakers offer lines on a wide range of topical issues, including offering odds on the potential Super Bowl performers, the World Dog Surfing Championship, and odds on all your favorite entertainers, ranging from Britney Spears to Kanye West.
Trending topics are en vogue here at BetUS. Visitors can stop by and wager on everything from next season’s NBA title winner to a fictitious fight between 100 humans versus one silverback gorilla. It is all right here, under one roof—BetUS.
The Thunder are the favorites to win next season’s NBA championship, but they will have plenty of company. Will the Pacers return to the title game? Will last year’s winner, the Boston Celtics, be a power in the postseason once Jayson Tatum is healed from his injury? BetUS has futures odds on every team.
Once the season begins, BetUS will have nightly lines, odds, totals, and props on each and every game. Whether it be money lines or point spreads, BetUS has it all.
