The defending champion Denver Nuggets and the Boston Celtics were installed as the co-favorites to win this year's NBA title, according to NBA.com's annual survey of all 30 of the league's general managers.
Both the Nuggets and Celtics picked up 10 of the 30 votes to win the title, followed by the Milwaukee Bucks getting seven, the Phoenix Suns getting two and the LA Clippers picking up the lone remaining vote. Last year, the Bucks led the way in that category with 43 percent of the vote.
Not surprisingly, the Nuggets and Celtics were also picked to win their respective conferences.
