Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers bet (Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images)
The Portland Trail Blazers have been a risky bet in the Damian Lillard-era, and WynnBet agrees with that sentiment. Since drafting the future Hall-of-Famer, the team has won 56 percent of its games—practically a coin flip to outright win a single contest.
In WynnBet’s NBA ‘futures’ selection, they’ve listed the Blazers at +7500 to take home the 2021-2022 NBA Title. That leaves Portland tied for the 17th best odds to win it all. Frankly, that’s an insult and honestly kind of financially questionable by the oddsmakers.
