The NBA Finals 2020 is fast approaching, and from the way, things are shaping up in the Western and Eastern conferences, bookies, and pundits can’t help but predict which teams will face off in the grand finals.
LA Lakers
One thing most pundits and bookmakers seem to agree on is that the Lakers will be in the 2020 NBA Finals. The recent addition of Anthony Davis to the squad has made the superstar, and Lakers’ star man LeBron James a dangerous duo. The Lakers’ odds for winning the NBA Finals are at +180, meaning you need to bet $100 to win $180.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks are also leading on the Western Conference standings, and they are showing no signs of slowing down. They have the second-best NBA 2020 Finals odds at +300. With Giannis Antetokounmpo at his best, the Bucks are unstoppable, and in the finals, they might upset the Lakers.
Los Angeles Clippers
Kahwi Leonard and Paul George are a weapon for the Clippers, and it would be no surprise if they take advantage of the slightest slip by the Lakers. Trailing the leaders closely, the Clippers’ have the same odds for winning the 2020 NBA Finals.
The above are the highlights for this year’s edition of NBA Finals. Other worthy mentions include Houston Rockets (+1200), Boston Celtics (+2000), Miami Heat (+2000), Denver Nuggets (+2000) and Toronto Raptors (+2000).
When it comes to the NBA Finals MVP, it all depends on the outcome of the matches, but there are several contenders. LeBron James leads the pack together with Kahwi Leonard, Anthony Davis, and
Giannis Antetokounmpo, among others.
This year’s finals are scheduled for Thursday, 4 June to Sunday, 21 June, but most likely, the dates will have to be moved as the season is already suspended because of the Covid-19 scare.
