NBA Free agency started with a bang and Caesars Sportsbook has reacted accordingly!
The Lakers’ odds have continued to tumble in the wake of their trade for Russell Westbrook. The Lakers were at +450 ahead of free agency and the team has also signed Dwight Howard and Kent Bazemore as it shapes its roster around Westbrook, LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Add Nunn and others as the Lakers look to be the go to destination if you’re looking for a ring and a paycut!
Kyle Lowry and P.J. Tucker has also helped Miami improve its odds for the 2022 NBA title. The Heat moved from +3500 to win the NBA Finals to +2500 after acquiring Lowry in a sign-and-trade from the Toronto Raptors and signing Tucker in free agency. The Heat currently sit as the No. 10 favorite for the NBA title and are now ahead of the Dallas Mavericks according to Caesars Sportsbook.
Bulls’ odds on the move too!
The Chicago Bulls are acquiring Lonzo Ball in a sign-and-trade from the New Orleans Pelicans and the Bulls’ odds got better after that move. Chicago moved from +12500 to +10000 after the reported acquisition of Ball.
Pelicans’ odds slide!
New Orleans made moves ahead of free agency to clear cap space to sign a point guard. At least we all thought that was the plan. The Pelicans traded Steven Adams and Eric Bledsoe along with a 2022 first-round pick and some pick swaps in the 2021 NBA draft for Jonas Valanciunas from the Grizzlies. The move opened up cap space for this season and next, and the Pelicans then failed to sign a guard like Kyle Lowry or Spencer Dinwiddie and also saw Ball go to the Bulls on a four-year-deal. What’s the end game here? The Pelicans were at +8000 to win the title ahead of free agency. They’re now at +10000.
The Raptors’ odds also got worse too. Toronto’s pre-free agency odds hinged on keeping Lowry in the fold. Now that he’s gone, Toronto has gone from +10000 to +15000 to win it all.
