Betting on futures can provide excellent value if you can identify teams that are underrated by the market before the season begins. Let's look at the current landscape.
The Favorites
- Boston Celtics (+300): The defending champions return with their core and are the clear team to beat.
- Denver Nuggets (+750): With a healthy Jamal Murray, the Nuggets are a top contender.
- Minnesota Timberwolves (+850): After a breakthrough season, can Anthony Edwards lead them to the promised land?
Dark Horse Pick
The Oklahoma City Thunder at +1000 present exciting value. They have a young, MVP-caliber leader in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a deep squad, and a treasure chest of assets to make a mid-season trade if necessary. They have the potential to take a significant leap.
