Over the summer we have been keeping an eye on what Vegas has to say about the upcoming NBA season. Sure it seems to be a battle between the Celtics and Lakers for best bet overall but we have also noticed the oddsmakers are slowly warming up to the Toronto Raptors in the East.

The listing to win the NBA title has not moved from +3500 all summer and that is not shocking. It is interesting to see the Raps have moved up to +1200 from +1600 to win the East. Maybe sportsbooks have been reading the great discussions over at The Arsenalist? Or maybe they are getting on board with the idea of a healthy JON and CB4 combo. Whatever the case it is nice to see some love for the only team north of the border.

If you don’t give a crap about the Raps, here is the rest of the odds for the East.

Atlanta Hawks +2500
