The NBA is set to restart its season in the Orlando bubble this week, so the oddsmakers are finalizing their odds for how the action could play out. After months off due to the coronavirus pandemic, there could be some rust to shake off when the teams return to the court.
However, some of the more established teams are expected to pick up where they left off and have emerged as the favorites.
LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are heavily favored to bring home the championship, while the Milwaukee Bucks follow behind. Other favorites when the action resumes is the Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets, and Boston Celtics.
Who will bring home the championship?
