Top 2023 NBA futures bets

One of the model’s top 2023 NBA futures picks: The Denver Nuggets have value at 7-1 to win the NBA Finals. They clinched the Northwest Division title for the third time in five seasons when they beat Detroit in the middle of March. Denver had lost four straight games prior to that victory, but it was able to get back on track with another winning streak at the end of March.

The Nuggets have proven that they can beat any team in the NBA, taking down the Bucks and 76ers in a two-game stretch in March to go along with a win over Memphis earlier in the month. They are led by star center Nikola Jokic, who is one of 13 players in NBA history to win back-to-back MVP awards. He is in the hunt for a third consecutive MVP this year, averaging a triple-double for a large portion of the season.

The top of the Eastern Conference is much stronger than the top of the Western Conference, with teams like the Bucks, Celtics and 76ers all in the mix. Denver has an easier route to the NBA Finals, especially with home-court advantage. That is one reason why the model has the Nuggets winning the title at a higher rate (13.2%) than their implied futures odds (12.5%).
