The Oklahoma City Thunder dispelled all the NBA rumors and dispatched the Pacers, 103-91, in Game 7, which saw the Thunder bring their first Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy back home to their long-suffering fans.
However, the Kevin Durant trade has shaken the NBA landscape, and the Houston Rockets are suddenly the preeminent threat to the Thunder’s Western Conference supremacy. BetUS has all the updated futures odds on all 30 teams, but don’t sleep on the Rockets now that KD is in the mix!
The NBA schedule has run out of road now that the Thunder has captured its first championship on Sunday night, but there was another stunning bit of news as Kevin Durant was shipped out of the desert and into the welcoming arms of the Houston Rockets, where he will play his NBA games under the bright, hot lights of the Toyota Center.
If we glanced at the NBA standings at the end of this regular season, we saw the Rockets winning 52 games but couldn’t do much in the postseason when they were ousted in the opening round against Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors in seven games.
Lack of a veteran presence may have triggered the Rockets to deal for a legitimate game changer, and they were more than willing to part with guard Jalen Green, guard/forward Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in the 2025 draft, and five second-round picks to get their man.
Kevin Durant’s stats speak for themselves. He is a 6’11” menace who can shoot from anywhere on the court and dominates in the paint as effortlessly as he does nailing threes from beyond the arc. Naturally, the Rockets’ odds have tumbled, and BetUS now has them installed as the second favorite in the West and the fourth-ranked favorite in the league to win the championship.
There are no NBA games today or until the middle of October, for that matter, but that does not mean that the oddsmakers at BetUS aren’t furiously working on the odds for next season. BetUS was one of the first sportsbooks to offer conference and NBA championship odds for the 2025-2026 season.
Although BetUS is where professional and recreational sports bettors turn for all the best deals and sharpest odds, it should be known that BetUS is the innovator in the novelty props market. The BetUS oddsmakers pride themselves on offering something for everybody. Those who have an opinion on today’s current events or trending topics will see those topics on our novelty props market.
Topics ranging from the world of entertainment to politics and everywhere in between can be found on our extensive novelty props market. Ever wonder what the over/under would be on the number of hurricanes declared by the National Weather Service in 2025?
