The defending NBA champs are not where most thought they would be before the season started.
However, even though they are the seventh seed and do not have home-court advantage over the Phoenix Suns, they are still the favorites.
The seven seed being the favorite over the second seed is something that has not happened in 30 years, according to Bleacher Report Betting.
