Futures odds to win the 2009 NBA Championship

Lakers are the faves.

Raptors check in at +3500

It is with no surprise that Vegas is already looking ahead to next season in the NBA. It is also no surprise that they have the Lakers pegged as the favorite (+250) to win it all. One might think the Celtics (+300) would be the favorite considering they just won the title and look like a lock to fight for it again. But with the love the Lakers get from sportsbooks and bettors and the fact that Andrew Bynum will be back, it makes sense to me.

Personally after looking at the board I would toss a few bucks on the Hornets (+1200). I think the stock of the Pistons (+800) is way to high considering they will most likely bust up the team.

Finally my Raps (+3500). They are always a good ATS team but never get any futures odds respect. I am just glad to see five teams ahead of them in the East and I am not sold on the Bulls being listed at +2000. I am sure getting Rose has helped oddsmakers give them a decent number.
