10. Dallas Mavericks (+2200) (Bet $100 to collect $2,300) Click here for the best odds, available at DraftKings

Despite losing two of their first three to start the season, the Mavericks are still top three in offensive, defensive and net ratings to start the season. Luka Doncic already leads the league in time of possession, as JaVale McGree gets more time in the rotation. The Mavericks will be just fine.

9. Memphis Grizzlies (+1800) (Bet $100 to collect $1,900) Click here for the best odds, available at FanDuel

Still not cleaned up defensively, the Grizzlies have potentially the league MVP at their disposal in Ja Morant, who already has a 49-point performance under their belt. The Grizzlies are dangerous if Morant, Jaren Jackson, and Desmond Bane can stay healthy.

8. Denver Nuggets (+1800) (Bet $100 to collect $1,900) Click here for the best odds, available at DraftKings

The Nugget’s success will likely come down to just how close Jamal Murray can get to his old form, and that’s going to take some time. I expect him to get there, so if you like the Nuggets, the best number you’ll likely get is now. 

7. Philadelphia 76ers (+1700) (Bet $100 to collect $1,800) Click here for the best odds, available at DraftKings

With just one win through five games, the 76ers are still looking to get their legs as both sides of the ball have struggled. Allowing 120+ in two games in the first week alone, the 76ers should likely focus on defense before anything else.

6. Phoenix Suns (+1100) (Bet $100 to collect $1,200) Click here for the best odds, available at Caesars

With Chris Paul out to start the season, Booker and Ayton can likely carry the load well into the season. The bench, however, is ultimately what the Suns’ season will come down to.

5. Brooklyn Nets (+750) (Bet $100 to collect $850) Click here for the best odds, available at FanDuel

Ben Simmons might be back on the court, but he still looks scared to do anything other than play defense. With so much time missed, Simmons can’t seem to stay off the foul sheet. Even still, a team with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant will always be amongst the best. 

4. Milwaukee Bucks (+650) (Bet $100 to collect $750) Click here for the best odds, available at Caesars

For me, the best value on the board, the Bucks have the most cohesive group in the league, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who could be the league MVP every season. This team is almost surely going to be in the mix come May. 

3. Boston Celtics (+600) (Bet $100 to collect $700) Click here for the best odds, available at DraftKings

The league's #1 offensive efficiency-rated team, the Celtics, have picked up right where they left off last season. While coaching could be an issue come the playoffs, given their off-the-court issues, the talent is back and as good as ever.

2. Golden State Warriors (+600) (Bet $100 to collect $700) Click here for the best odds, available at FanDuel

If the Warriors can overcome their off-the-court issues, there’s no reason this team won’t be back in the NBA Finals. Jordan Poole got his back and has already shown the league it was a steal.

1. Los Angeles Clippers (+600) (Bet $100 to collect $700) Click here for the best odds, available at FanDuel

After missing the past season plus, the Clippers might have the deepest bench in the league, spear-headed by former NBA All-Star John Wall. If Paul George and Kawhi Leonard can stay healthy, it’s hard to see anyone beating this Clippers team in seven games.
