The NBA regular season is nearing its end – it’s time to find out who really has a claim to the championship and how the teams’ chances have changed compared to the start of the season. Analysis and comparison of 1xBet Mongolia odds is the best solution for assessing the clubs’ prospects.

Long-term odds

Before the start of the regular season, the Boston Celtics were the undisputed favorites in the title race. At the end of October, the odds for the defending NBA champions to win a second consecutive title were set at 4.0. The competitors were in a tight group and significantly lagged behind the Celtics:

• Oklahoma City Thunder – 8.5
• Philadelphia 76ers – 9.0
• Denver Nuggets – 9.5
• New York Knicks – 10.0
• Minnesota Timberwolves – 11.0
• Dallas Mavericks – 11.0

As of today, all NBA teams had played 70+ games, and the situation with championship contenders had changed dramatically – Philadelphia, Minnesota and Dallas had not lived up to preseason expectations and had fallen behind. The probability of these clubs winning the 2024-25 season is lower than hitting the jackpot. There are currently 2 main favorites in the NBA – the Oklahoma City Thunder and Boston Celtics. 1xBet Монголоос estimates Oklahoma’s victory at odds of 2.82, and the Celtics’ success at 3.08.

Trend against Boston Celtics

The NBA’s most decorated club has managed to maintain its championship roster. The top six – Al Horford, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porziņģis – continue to complement each other well and make a difference on the floor. However, the overall trends are against Boston: since 2019, the NBA champions have constantly changed.

Canadian leads Oklahoma City to trophy

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander proves by example that Canada is not only the birthplace of great hockey players. This season, the Thunder point guard averages 32.8 points per game and leads the list of the NBA’s top scorers. The Canadian also makes 1.8 steals per game. Oklahoma City has the highest winning percentage (83.1) among all 30 teams and is a natural leader in the Western Conference. Thanks to Shai and his teammates’ brilliant play, the Thunder’s chances of winning the championship have increased almost threefold.

LA Lakers: the show is just getting started!

What is an outright without a hidden favorite! After Luka Doncic moved to Los Angeles, a solid mid-table team quickly burst into the top 5 contenders for the championship title. Two months ago, the odds for the Lakers’ triumph were 15.0, and today – 8.6. If the Slovenian plays well with LeBron James, it will be difficult to stop such a locomotive.
