The Golden State Warriors are officially betting favorites to win the championship—again.
The Warriors entered the NBA playoffs as the favorites to win the title, but Stephen Curry's knee injury temporarily made the San Antonio Spurs the pick to win it all.
However, after Chris Paul and Blake Griffin were essentially ruled out for the rest of the postseason due to injuries, the Warriors have reclaimed their throne. Despite Curry's sprained MCL injury, Golden State now has 5-to-4 odds of winning the title, while the Spurs have 2-to-1 odds of hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy in June.

The Los Angeles Clippers‘ odds of winning a championship took the most drastic fall after just one day. On April 25th, the Clippers had 18-to-1 odds. Fast forward a day later following Paul and Griffin's injuries, and those odds have dropped to 100-to-1.
Considering Curry will be out for at least two weeks, there is no doubt he is hoping the Clippers and Portland Trail Blazers series extends to seven games. The winner of that series will face the Warriors in the second round.
