The 2015 NBA handicapping offseason has been just about as exciting as much of the play we saw during the actual 2014-15 campaign. Surprising signings and draft picks have vaulted some of the league’s mediocre franchises into official underdog status.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are currently listed as the favorites to win the 2016 NBA Championship, and it’s easy to see why. After all, this is virtually the same team that pushed the eventual-2015 champion Golden State Warriors to six games in the Finals without Kevin Love or Kyrie Irving on the court — except it’s presumably going to enter next year’s campaign
The Los Angeles Clippers had a legitimate chance at taking home the Larry O’Brien Trophy during the 2014-15 season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder hold the fourth-best odds to win the 2016 NBA championship after a tumultuous 2014-15 campaign. Very few teams in the league will ever be able to repeat that sentence about themselves, but with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook looking to come back healthy (and at the same time), this group could turn things around quickly after one down year.
The Golden State Warriors hold the third-best odds to win the 2016 NBA championship after free agency has finally calmed down. But in the eyes of many, the Dubs will remain favorites until knocked off — especially with virtually every major piece of the puzzle returning next season.

The NBA draft is designed to introduce new talent to the Association, and there are a handful of teams that fared better than the rest when the big night came to a close in June.

The Golden State Warriors’ title is still very much fresh in the minds of basketball fans, but NBA oddsmakers are giving alert bettors an opportunity to look into the future and put money down on next year’s title odds.

The 2015 NBA Draft is nearly upon us, and while the first few picks are considered a consensus among most mock drafts, there is certainly a possible for a shakeup with one week remaining.
