CAVS are favored to win it all. But at 3-2 to win the championship, those are terrible odds to take.
The Warriors, with an over/under at 50.5 and 12-1 to take the West, the smart VEGAS bet would be taking the over and putting them down on making the Finals. 12 -1?? I'd have to turn in my Degenerate Gambler Members Only card not to take them odds.
...These were calculated before the news about Durant missing 6-8 weeks due to a broken foot.
