Not only has the balance of power seen a major shift in recent weeks, so have the Vegas odds for who is favored to win the 2020 NBA Finals. Last week, before the Thunder shipped Paul George to the Clippers and Westbrook to the Rockets, OKC's title odds according to the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook were 30-1. As of Thursday night, those odds had jumped to 500-1. The Rockets' odds have gone the other way, from 10-1 to 8-1, tied with the Sixers for the fourth-best odds, per Westgate. Other sports books have shifted their odds for the Thunder and Rockets accordingly. Bovada lists the Rockets at 14-1 and the Thunder are 100-1. Caesars Palace has the Rockets at +700 (7-1).

I saw on ESPN that Caesar's has us as favorites again, after seeing not TOO long ago the odds shift towards Slippers' favor after boogie going down. Lakers +300 Slippers+450
weird. i'm a fan of this roster, but i think a title is a long shot, particularly after boogie went down, as i thought he was the best-case-scenario wildcard (a longshot in itself, but better than the shot we have with the rest of the roster dramatically outperforming expectations).
If Vegas has us favorites... that means they know we are fully capable of doing so. Anyways, being a contender is good enough for me. We've a LOOONGGGGGG way lolz.
1 injury for all contenders changes everything. VEGAS oddsmakers fluctuate based on amount of money bet at what odds, and is not a super great prediction of outcome. That being said, we’re obviously viewed as a top tier team, and that’s pretty awesome.
I'm with SFGOLDRUSHER here. Just glad we are a contender and it's a long season. I'm hoping we are there at the finish line and get back to winning a championship. As abeer3 said, my hope (and the odds too) took a dip with the Boogie news as he really had a huge potential to make us a dominant force in the front court if he could recover most of his health. AD Boogie would have been powerful. Dwight is a big what if, but he does have a better record of being able to stay healthy. We've got some holes but hopefully we can get this done.
