The title odds of the Dallas Mavericks initially improved when Kyrie Irving was acquired, however have now settled again to +1400, which ranks eighth within the NBA. The Brooklyn Nets’ odds to win the 2023 NBA championship have dropped to +2200.
The Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks stay the favorites at +300 and +450 respectively.
If the Los Angeles Lakers would have been profitable of their efforts to commerce for Irving, they certainly would have improved from their present place of +5000, particularly given their standing as a public workforce.
