Cleveland Cavaliers

  • The Cleveland Cavaliers have +800 odds to win the NBA Championship, but those odds could shorten up with wins across a tough upcoming stretch of games.
  • Currently the Boston Celtics (+250) and Oklahoma City Thunder (+280) have much shorter odds despite Cleveland boasting the best record in the NBA.
  • The Cavaliers have +400 odds to win the Eastern Conference, behind Boston at -115 odds.

CLEVELAND – Even after the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night in an epic regular season matchup, the Cavaliers are still being disrespected at NBA sportsbooks. Cleveland’s +800 legal sports betting odds to win the 2024-2025 NBA Championship are far behind the Thunder and Boston Celtics.

NBA Championship Odds

  • Boston Celtics +250
  • Oklahoma City Thunder +280
  • Cleveland Cavaliers +800
  • New York Knicks +1100
  • Denver Nuggets +1600
  • Dallas Mavericks +1800
  • Golden State Warriors +2200
  • Milwaukee Bucks +2200
  • Los Angeles Lakers +2500
  • Phoenix Suns +2800

Cleveland had the best record in the league at 32-4, has beaten both the Boston Celtics (1-1) and the Oklahoma City Thunder (1-0), and is 11-0 this season against a stacked Western Conference. Despite all this, their odds to win the NBA Championship at legal NBA betting sites are +800, which will likely shorten soon if they continue their success.

Within the next month, the Cavaliers will face the Pacers twice, the 24-12 Rockets twice, go on the road against the Thunder and Timberwolves before hosting the Hawks, Mavericks, and Celtics on Feb. 4. Those teams on the brutal stretch of the schedule have a combined record of 160-97 this season, and all except the Hawks and Pacers are 5+ games over .500.

Cavaliers Odds To Win The Eastern Conference: +400

Perhaps the Western Conference poses too big of a threat for the Cavaliers to win the Championship despite their 11-0 record against the west. Regardless, Cleveland has +400 odds to win the Eastern Conference behind the defending champion Celtics at -115 odds.

Eastern Conference Odds

  • Boston Celtics -115
  • Cleveland Cavaliers +400
  • New York Knicks +500
  • Milwaukee Bucks +1200
  • Philadelphia 76ers +1900
  • Orlando Magic +2200

The Cavs are 1-1 against Boston this season, defeating them 115-11 in their last meeting back in December. Their talented starting lineup with Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen has proven they’re capable of winning the NBA Finals.
