After the drama of the play-in and the opening round, we are set to begin Round 2 of the NBA playoffs, which means we are now in the conference semi-finals stage of the proceedings. We are now down to the final 8 teams, but it is perhaps not the 8 teams that we expected to see at this point. We have lost the #1 seed, the Milwaukee Bucks, in the Eastern Conference, as well as the #2 seed, the Memphis Grizzlies, in the West, so who knows how things will play out from here on in. The bookies certainly seem to think they have some idea, as the odds have been updated as we head into Round 2. Let’s take a look at the current NBA Championship odds for each of the remaining teams.

Updated NBA Odds to win the Championship | NBA Lines

Boston Celtics

Odds: +132

With the Milwaukee Bucks now gone, the window of opportunity for the Celtics is now very much wide open. The were taken to 6 games by the scrappy Atlanta Hawks in the opening round, but they now have a much tougher task ahead of them, with the Philadelphia 76ers up next.

Denver Nuggets

Odds: +540

It was a rather smooth ride through the opening round for the Nuggets, who eased past the Minnesota Timberwolves in just 5 games. Next up, they will face the Phoenix Suns in what has the potential to be the best series of the second round. The Nuggets remain the favorite to come out of the West, but this will not be an easy one.

Golden State Warriors

Odds: +540

It’s always tough to bet against the defending champions, but at what point does their troubles on the road really come into play. The Warriors are coming off a huge series win over the Sacramento Kings, but they needed all 7 games, as well as an amazing performance from Steph Curry in Game 7 to make it happen. Next up is the Lakers.

Phoenix Suns

Odds: +590

As you can see from the odds, the bookies think the series between the Suns and the Nuggets might be a bit of a coin flip. I tend to agree, and I believe we might be looking at a 7-game series here. The Suns took out the Clippers in 5 games but find themselves a game down to the Nuggets after losing Game 1 on the road.

LA Lakers

Odds: +850

The Lakers had to make it out of the play-in before stunning the Memphis Grizzlies in Round 1 proper. This is a team that no one really wanted to face in the postseason, and the Warriors might just find themselves on upset alert if they cannot fix their road woes.

Philadelphia 76ers

Odds: +1175

If I were being asked to make a dark horse pick at this stage of the proceedings, my money might well be on the 76ers. They swept the Brooklyn Nets in Round 1, and while the Celtics are a much tougher out, this is a team that has some momentum going.

Miami Heat

Odds: +2100

The Heat stunned the Bucks in 5 games in Round 1 and are already off to a big start in this round, winning Game 1 on the road against the New York Knicks.

New York Knicks

Odds: +3000

Both the Heat and the Knicks are playing with house money at this point after ousting higher seeds in Round 1. The Knicks took out the Cavaliers in 5 games, but they are going to need a big performance in Game 2 versus the Heat, as going on the road in an 0-2 hole might be a bridge too far.
