The Oklahoma City Thunder own the NBA’s best record at 40-9 and are now the new title favorite with +230 odds at DraftKings, just ahead of the defending champions.

The Boston Celtics are the second favorite with +240 odds, after entering the season as the favorite and holding that distinction for the entire year until now.

Trailing the Thunder by mere percentage points, the Cavaliers have the second-best record and are the third favorite with +750 odds. Cleveland added athletic forward D’Andre Hunter in a trade deadline deal with the Atlanta Hawks. Hunter is having a career year and is the second favorite to win the Sixth Man of the Year.

After adding Luka Doncic, the Lakers are the fifth favorite at +1500 and have the second-shortest odds of any Western Conference team. The Denver Nuggets are next with +1600.
