The Boston Celtics, entering as the consensus betting favorites for an unprecedented third consecutive season, are at +290 odds, reflecting a strong bettor confidence.
The Knicks, boosted by offseason acquisitions, shortened their title odds significantly but still face heavy betting competition from the Celtics, who command 43% of the total bets.
BetMGM's Halvor Egeland remarked on the betting trends, stating: 'Celtics and Thunder have taken the most handle, expected by two teams with the shortest odds.'
David Lieberman noted unexpected support for the Knicks from bettors, highlighting that the Lakers and Warriors pose the biggest liabilities in title futures markets.
