The All-Star break for the NBA just wrapped up. Now it’s crunch time for the hotly anticipated 2019-20 NBA regular season.
We still have a little over three months to wait for the endgame, so that there’s plenty of time to hang fire and think about who might make it to the finals. This season’s quite different, because we finally have a fresh slate after seeing the end of a Warriors era thanks to the Raptors’ win last season.
So let’s get down to business. Taking the odds to win NBA Finals 2020 into full account, here’s my fearless forecast for this season’s final stretch.
Top picks for the Finals
From the East: Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks have statistically outperformed the rest of the Eastern teams for simply having the best All-Star break record in the NBA (46-8). But on top of that, the main propeller of the Bucks’ odds is Giannis Antetokounmpo, who just came off an MVP season and is averaging 30 points per game at this point.
Antetokounmpo’s stats also drastically improved across the board year after year, which could definitely be the main instrument that will bring the Bucks to the final court. The Milwaukee Bucks’ odds to win NBA Finals 2020 is currently placed at +270.
From the West: LA Clippers
Now down to the West side, the Los Angeles teams continue to up their A-games this season, especially the LA Clippers and the Lakers, which leaves no question at all. The Lakers have LeBron, who snagged victory at the All-Star break and further leading the Western Conference. However, it’s the Clippers that’s sparking the higher interest for me so far.
The Clippers’ odds to win NBA Finals 2020 is at +335, driven by the dream duo found in the collaboration of Kahwi Leonard and Paul George. What the Clippers have that the West teams - even the Lakers - lack is a more balanced roster packed with a lot of starpower.
Of course the odds can still change over the course of the regular season, but current situations dictate that the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Clippers are the favorites to win the NBA Finals 2020.
