One note to keep in mind for those of you who love long shots: there is potential value for bettors on teams before they become popular with the masses. The Nuggets, for example, were +1800 to win it all (bet $10 to win $190 total) heading into the 2022-23 season with the ninth-lowest odds.
And don’t forget Curry and the Warriors were +2800 (bet $10 to win $290 total) to claim the title before the 2014-15 season.
