The Bucks — who also lost Game 1 of their first-round series to Orlando before sweeping through the rest of the series — entered the night -430 to win the series at William Hill. They remain the favorite at only -180.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\nAt the start of the week, the Los Angeles Lakers were the favorite to win the NBA championship at +260 at William Hill. The Bucks were next at +280, and the Lakers\u2019 intracity rivals, the Clippers, were +300.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose three will likely be in the same neighborhood with one another for the time being, with slight changes depending on how they played in their last game,\u201d William Hill\u2019s director of trading, Nick Bogdanovich, told the sportsbook\u2019s Web site.<\/p>\n
Clippers Favored to Win Championship<\/h2>\n
Sure enough, those slight changes were reflected when William Hill released fresh NBA championship odds on Thursday morning. Here they are for the remaining 10 teams:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n- Los Angeles Clippers: +250<\/li>\n
- Los Angeles Lakers: +270<\/li>\n
- Milwaukee Bucks: +350<\/li>\n
- Boston Celtics: +700<\/li>\n
- Miami Heat: +1,200<\/li>\n
- Toronto Raptors: +1,200<\/li>\n
- Houston Rockets: +1,500<\/li>\n
- Denver Nuggets: +4,000<\/li>\n
- Utah Jazz: +5,000<\/li>\n
- Oklahoma City Thunder: +6,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
The second-round series have tipped off in the East, with No. 3 Boston leading No. 2 Toronto 1-0 and No. 5 Miami leading No. 1 Milwaukee 1-0. The Celtics\u2019 win flipped that series; Toronto was -145 but now Boston is -190.<\/strong><\/p>\nIn the West, there will be two Game 7s to wrap up the first round. Denver\u2019s win over Utah set up a Game 7 on Tuesday night, with the Nuggets a 1-point favorite at William Hill.<\/p>\n
\n
Denver\u2019s Jamal Murray, who has averaged a ridiculous 47.0 points the last three games, has an over\/under of 29.5. The series winner will face the No. 2 Clippers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
On Monday night, Oklahoma City forced a Game 7 against Houston. As of Tuesday morning, there was no line on that game. The Rockets will have one well-invested fan in that game<\/a>. The winner will take on the No. 1 Lakers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meanwhile, a pair of Game 1 upsets have changed the betting outlook in the NBA’s Eastern Conference playoffs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":146882,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,1074],"tags":[81737,81733,81036,81256,81738,81735,81035,81033,81259,80968,81736,81734],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
