Die-hard NBA fans, I hope you’ve been surviving the summer. Opening night is less than two months away. While the news cycle always quiets down this time of year, it’s also the best opportunity to get ahead of win totals and futures; two markets currently available on FanDuel.
This week, we got the most NBA news since Summer League ended. The Kevin Durant’s drama was put to bed, Chet Holmgren suffered a season-ending injury, and the Lakers made a splash trading away Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson to the Utah Jazz for Patrick Beverley.

That announcement ultimately affected two markets: Odds to win NBA Championship Brooklyn Nets +1700 +700 Boston Celtics +450 +500 Miami Heat +1500 +1700 Toronto Raptors +4000 +4500 Odds to win Regular Season MVP Kevin Durant +1200 +1000 The Celtics, Heat and Raptors were frontrunners in the KD sweepstakes, so their odds rightfully lengthened.
