Congratulations to the Golden State Warriors on winning the 2021-22 NBA Championship! ...or whatever.
On to 2022-23
Championship odds
Using the odds from our friends over at DraftKings, the Phoenix Suns open at +900 to win the title next season — the 3rd-best overall odds and 6th team in the pecking order — so I’m assessing for you all whether that’s a good bet or not to invest in now, and whether or not the Suns are being disrespected among the top ten.
Below the Suns — 7 through 10:
The Denver Nuggets (+1500) and Miami Heat (+1400) don’t really scare me much at all to a point of even mentioning them, but the Memphis Grizzlies (+1400) and Philadelphia 76ers (+1400) both pose very real threats if things break right for them.
