The oddsmakers have released the NBA Playoff odds on chances of winning the title, so it’s time to make those early bets!
We will now briefly preview each series and give you the odds of each team to win the NBA championship.
2023 NBA Playoff Odds & Predictions
Eastern Conference
(1) Milwaukee Bucks (+240) vs. Chicago Bulls (+50000) or Miami Heat (+21000)
Giannis Antetokounmpo and company look to be the best team in the East, and the oddsmakers think they’re the best team in the league. Neither the Chicago Bulls or Miami Heat should give them much trouble in their first-round series.

(2) Boston Celtics (+370) vs. (7) Atlanta Hawks (+25000)
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are one of the best duos in the league. The Celtics have the second-best odds at winning the NBA title. They can score in bunches, and they defend well. The Hawks have been an average team all season long.

(3) Philadelphia 76ers (+900) vs. (6) Brooklyn Nets (+37000)
Joel Embiid may be the most unstoppable force in the game. James Harden has transformed his game, and now he is much more willing to defer to his teammates. He has also started to defend a little as well.
The Nets won a lot of games when Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and/or Harden were on the floor. They shouldn’t pose much of a threat to the Sixers.

(4) Cleveland Cavaliers (+4200) vs. (5) New York Knicks (+13000)
This will be a very even series. The Knicks won the season series. We should see a great battle between Jalen Brunson and Donovan Mitchell. The Cavs had the best defense in the league this season, so we’ll see if they can slow down Brunson and Julius Randle.

Western Conference
(1) Denver Nuggets (+1100) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (+25000) or OKC Thunder (+50000)
Denver quietly earned the top seed in the West. Nikola Jokic leads the Nuggets. This season they have a full roster in the playoffs, and that will be a huge help. Either the Wolves or the Thunder can play with the Nuggets, but Denver will prevail in five or six games.

(2) Memphis Grizzlies (+2400) vs. (7) Los Angeles Lakers (+2200)
The Lakers are actually favored to win this series. With LeBron James and Anthony Davis both healthy and playing well, the oddsmakers like the Lakers to make a playoff push. Ja Morant and the Grizzlies will have something to say about that. This should be the most competitive 1st round series. We like the Lakers to win this one in seven.

(3) Sacramento Kings (+5000) vs. (6) Golden State Warriors (+750)
This is the Kings first playoff appearance in a long, long time. They have one of the best offenses in the league this season, but they struggle on the defensive end. They’ll match up with the Golden State Warriors, who have plenty of playoff experience. The Warriors are the favorites, and we like them to win in six.

(4) Phoenix Suns (+460) vs. (5) Los Angeles Clippers (+4000)
The Suns are red-hot heading into the playoffs. With a healthy Kevin Durant, the Suns look like the team to beat in the West. The big question in this one will be whether or not Paul George is ready to play. If George is ready, this series will be competitive. If he isn’t, the Suns should win in five. Regardless, we have the Suns winning the series.
