The NBA Finals just ended, and you know what that means: It’s time to start thinking about next season. Just hours after the final horn sounded, Odds Shark released odds for the 2020 NBA Finals, and the Warriors are once again heavy favorites at +190 (Bet $100 to win $190).

Rounding out the top five are the Houston Rockets (+1200) and hilariously the New York Knicks (+1500) who have been linked to a number of free agents, but are coming off a season where they won an NBA-low 17 games.
For the Warriors, Kevin Durant is expected to opt out of his contract and hit free agency, and reportedly has sights on leaving Golden State. Klay Thompson is also a free agent, but is expected to re-sign on a max contract.
