The Toronto Raptors may have just won the NBA championship and may have dispatched the Milwaukee Bucks along the way, but it's the Bucks who are opening as the favorite to win the title next season, per BetOnline.ag.

The Bucks (+450), Golden State Warriors (+500) and Los Angeles Lakers (+700) are the top three favorites, with the Lakers obviously assuming that position due to the chances that they land Anthony Davis and put him alongside LeBron James this summer.

Toronto (+800) comes in fourth, while the Houston Rockets (+900) round out the top five.

Milwaukee won a league-best 60 games this season behind an incredible year from Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is seen by many as the front-runner to win the MVP award.

The Bucks then proceeded to win their first playoff series since 2001, sweeping the Detroit Pistons in the first round. They then took out the Boston Celtics in five games in the second round before blowing a 2-0 series lead against the Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals, eventually falling in six games.

Milwaukee is entering a pivotal offseason in which it will have to deal with trying to re-sign its own free agents, as Khris Middleton, Malcolm Brogdon and Brook Lopez can all walk this summer.
