Utah Jazz: NBA Title Odds

The Utah Jazz returned to form against the Chicago Bulls on Monday behind a dominant performance by Rudy Gobert. As the Jazz stand alone atop the NBA standings, let's check in with the oddsmakers to see what they are saying about Utah's NBA championship odds.

Earlier this year, I caught up with with Covers spokesperson Pete Watt. He explained Utah's odds of winning the championship before the season started:

"Before the season began, Quin Snyder’s team were ranked outsiders; their odds of +4000 put them way down the list in terms of favoritism and carried an implied probability of just 2.44% that they would win the championship." - Peter Watt

42 games into the regular season, the Jazz hold the best record in the NBA. What does that say for their NBA title odds? Unsurprisingly, they have improved. According to FanDuel, the Jazz have an implied probability of 10.5% to win the NBA Finals. That ranks fifth behind the Nets, Lakers, Clippers, and Bucks. Below are the top 10 teams with the best title odds according to Fan Duel.

Team	Odds	Implied Probability
Nets	+280	26.3%
Lakers	+300	25.0%
Clippers	+550	15.4%
Bucks	+750	11.8%
Jazz	+750	10.5%
76ers	+1200	7.7%
Nuggets	+2600	3.7%
Suns	+3000	3.2%
Celtics	+3400	2.9%
Heat	+4600	2.1%
