*Odds taken on June 21, 2019

The best way of predicting the future is to look back into the past. Here are some interesting trends to consider before making a wager:

• The Western Conference has won seven of the last 11 NBA championships
• Five of the last 11 NBA championships have been won by a team from the Pacific Division
• LeBron James has been to the NBA Finals in seven of the last eight seasons
• Teams that win the first game of a best-of-seven series win the series 76% of the time
• Teams that win the first two games of a best-of-seven series win the series 94% of the time
• Teams that win the first three games of a best-of-seven series win the series 100% of the time

Eastern Conference Top Contenders

Despite winning the championship, the Toronto Raptors do not open with the best odds among teams in the Eastern Conference. That honor has been bestowed upon the Milwaukee Bucks.

Atlantic Division

The Toronto Raptors do open with the best 2020 championship odds among teams in the Atlantic division.

With the Celtics likely losing Kyrie Irving and the Knicks not getting help from Kevin Durant this season, it appears the Raptors and 76ers stand above the rest again.

Central Division

The Bucks may not face much competition for the NBA Championship in their own division, as the next best team is the Pacers, who are given average odds of +5700.

Southeast Division

The Southeast doesn’t look to contain any contenders in the 2019-20 season, as the Orlando Magic are seeing the best odds at +8300.

Western Conference Top Contenders

The 2019 NBA Finals was a costly one for the Golden State Warriors. Not only did they lose to the Raptors in six, but they will be without Kevin Durant for the season (torn Achilles) and Klay Thompson until likely February.

Northwest Division

No NBA division has produced fewer championships than the Northwest, whose lone title belongs to the 1977 Trail Blazers. But Portland went the furthest among Northwest teams last season, making it to the Western Conference Finals before being swept by the Warriors.

However, it’s the Nuggets who open with the best NBA Championship odds in the division.

Pacific Division

The Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers are both expected to lure in some top talent in the offseason, resulting in both opening as top contenders in the West.

Southwest Division

When you think of the Spurs, the first word that comes to mind is “consistency.” San Antonio has reached the playoffs in each of the last 22 seasons and has won six conference titles and five NBA championships during that time.

But the Rockets are the team to watch in the Southwest. Will they trade Chris Paul, or could they give this core one more shot knowing the Warriors won’t be fully loaded during the 2019-20 NBA season?

NBA Teams That Have Never Won a Championship

The Toronto Raptors removed their name from this list in 2019, as Kawhi Leonard and co. took down the back-to-back champion Warriors.

No NBA team has endured a longer championship drought than the Kings, who have gone 67 years without hoisting the NBA’s top trophy. That isn’t likely to change anytime soon as Sacramento has finished below .500 in each of the last 12 seasons and are still in the midst of a seemingly endless rebuild.
