For the first time since the beginning of last season, the Denver Nuggets are long shots to win the NBA Championship.
The defending champs dropped both games on its home court to start the second round against the Minnesota Timberwolves, including a 106-80 loss to Minnesota on Monday night. The Nuggets are up against it now, and oddsmakers are making adjustments to its Futures price.
Denver is now +700 to win the Western Conference and +1500 to win the NBA title this season as the team heads to Minnesota for Game 3 and 4, potentially without Jamal Murray.
