The Thunder's dominant 68–14 record last year — led by MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and rising star Jalen Williams — cements them as early favorites. Meanwhile, Houston shook up the offseason by trading for Kevin Durant, giving the Rockets one of the most dangerous rosters in the league.

Beyond the favorites, several dark horse teams like the Los Angeles Lakers (+1600), Minnesota Timberwolves (+2000), and Orlando Magic (+2200) will look to crash the title conversation. The Lakers, with Luka Doncic entering his first full season in LA, could be one of the league's biggest storylines.

OddsTrader's full breakdown provides a tiered view of all 30 teams, from playoff hopefuls like the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks to longshots such as the Portland Trail Blazers and Washington Wizards.
