The NBA regular season tips off Tuesday night, and the defending champion Golden State Warriors are one of three cofavorites to win the 2023 NBA Championship at +600 odds, along with the Boston Celtics (+600), and Los Angeles Clippers (+600).<\/p>\n

Only four teams in NBA history have won the championship entering the season with odds greater than 15-to-1 or +1500 on the moneyline. We’ll take a quick look at this year’s contenders with odds at +1500 or better.<\/p>\n
In case you’re wondering, the Warriors were +1100 odds at the start of the 2021-22 season. The Los Angeles Lakers were the consensus favorite to win the 2022 NBA Championship at +400 odds, but they didn’t even qualify for the playoffs after a disastrous losing season.<\/p>\n
Celtics +600<\/h2>\n
Sometimes it takes a team to lose in the NBA Finals and miss a title shot before they can string together a championship run in the next season. Could that be the case with the Boston Celtics this season?<\/p>\n
Assistant coach Joe Mazzulla takes over as interim head coach. But the core team returns from last season, including the Celtics’ big three, consisting of forward Jayson Tatum, shooting guard Jaylen Brown, and point guard Marcus Smart. The Celtics added point guard Malcom Brogdon in the off-season to bolster their bench, which was a huge liability in last year’s NBA Finals.<\/p>\n
Clippers +600<\/h2>\n
The Los Angeles Clippers are the darlings of Hollywood this season, with oodles of drama surrounding the LA Lakers and Russell Westbrook<\/a>.<\/p>\n
