Boston Celtics (+360)
The Celtics have been the best team to begin the season as they post a 17-4 record, including 10-1 at home. They are dominant as they have a +8.4 point differential this season and that is with the suspension of their head coach Ime Udoka for the entirety of the season.
They have elite players leading the team with small forward Jayson Tatum and point guard Marcus Smart to dominate. As a team, the Celtics lead the NBA in points per game and are third in field goal percentage and look like a well-oiled machine right now.
Milwaukee Bucks (+600)
The Milwaukee Bucks have been a dominant force on the court this year as they are second in the Eastern Conference with a 14-5 record. With power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the charge, they have great offensive firepower. They are fourth in the NBA in terms of points per game against and they lead in total rebounds per game. They are getting healthier and will only get better from here.
Golden State Warriors (+650)
The Golden State Warriors have the best Western Conference teams in terms of odds, despite having an 11-11 record, which is ninth in the conference. A huge reason for their success was the fact that point guard Stephen Curry is second in the NBA with 31.4 points per game and is leading the league with 5.2 threes made per game. As a team, they are scoring well as they are third in the sport with 117.5 points per game up to this point.
