Utah Jazz Championship Odds Released By ESPN
Joe Ingles (2) scores over Delon Wright (55) and the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night
Playoff and Championship odds were released this morning by ESPN. Good news Jazz fans, according to ESPN, the Jazz have the highest chance to win an NBA Title.
The article released by ESPN shows that the Utah Jazz, Phoenix Suns, Brooklyn Nets, and Philadelphia 76ers are 100% locks for the playoffs. The Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets, and Los Angeles Lakers are all only a win or two away (>99.4% chance of making the playoffs) from locking in their spot for the 2021 NBA Playoffs.
ESPN's rankings also have NBA Title odds included. The Utah Jazz lead the way (24.4% chance of winning the NBA Finals), while the Brooklyn Nets aren't far behind (21.6%).
After Brooklyn, there is a big drop off in odds to win the NBA Title. The Philadelphia 76ers (10.6%) and Milwaukee Bucks (9.4%) come in second and third place in the Eastern Conference's chances. The Los Angeles Lakers (9.9%) and Los Angeles Clippers (6.4%) come in second and third place in the Western Conference's odds.
Obviously, numbers are numbers. The Utah Jazz need to focus on locking in the number one seed, and making a run in the Playoffs. Seeing that the national media is looking at the Jazz as true contenders though, is something fun and interesting to keep your eye on throughout the remainder of the season.
Friday's game between Utah and Phoenix will tip off at 8pm MST. Jazz fans can watch the game on AT&T SportsNet, and can also tune into the game on 97.5FM or 1280AM.
