After a wild and consequential final day of the NBA regular season, the initial playoff and play-in field is finally set. And the title race has never been more compelling.
, as they have been virtually the entire season, while the Suns are the only other team dealing at 8/1 or shorter.
Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen form an elite defensive duo inside with the size to match up with fellow bigs and the athleticism to keep up with small-ball 5s, while Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland are potent scorers with a penchant for late-game heroics. Obviously, that’s complicated by health — George still doesn’t have a timetable for his return, and Leonard’s injury history is well-documented at this point.Still, I’d be surprised if both players aren’t ready to go for this team’s first-round series against the Suns, who aren’t exactly impervious to a postseason collapse.
If the Clippers can survive that early test, they’ll be among the favorites to win it all as soon as Round 2, making this an absolute steal at 40/1.Are we sure the Pelicans can’t win it all? Clearly, it’s not a likely scenario with New Orleans needing to win twice to keep its season alive, but this price basically writes off any chance that this team can make a deep run.
