Here’s what to know about this oddsboard:
The King Arrives: It’s been a minute since LBJ went East, but it’s still a bit shocking, right? In July, LeBron James joined the Philadelphia 76ers for the 2026-27 season, signing a two-year, $8 million deal with a player option in Year 2. Earlier in the summer, Philly traded for Boston’s Jaylen Brown. That duo will join Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe and Joel Embiid. With the season set to begin, the Sixers super-team is tied at third on the board with the defending champion Knicks.
The Reigning Champs: Speaking of the Knicks, the last time they won an NBA title was 53 years ago. That losing streak is now over. New York dispatched of San Antonio in five games, and finished this postseason winning 15 of its last 16 games, going 16-3 overall. Can you believe it? Jalen Brunson was named Finals MVP after putting up a crucial 45 points in Game 5.
The Favorites: The Spurs made the Finals in Victor Wembanyama’s first playoff appearance, beating the former defending champion Thunder in the Western Conference finals — and now, those two teams are atop the oddsboard to win it all next year. OKC was the title favorite all of this past season, but fell at home in Game 7 of the West finals to the up-and-coming Spurs. Those two teams are expected to battle it out in the West again next year.
