NBA predicted table FAQ
Who do the bookies predict to win the NBA?
Oklahoma City, with a 23% chance from the outright odds once the bookmakers' margin is taken out, ahead of San Antonio (22.6%) and Philadelphia (8.4%). The odds move with every result, so this table changes through the season.
Which NBA team is doing better than the odds expect?
LA Lakers sit 6th in the table, 7 places above the 13th the title odds rank them. At the other end, Indiana Pacers are 29th, 15 places below their 14th in the odds.
How is the predicted table worked out?
Each team's price to win the NBA is averaged across the 2 bookmakers we compare, turned into a chance and scaled so all the chances add up to 100%, which takes the bookmakers' margin out. Teams are ranked by that chance; below a 1% title chance the prices say little, so those teams are ranked by the relegation odds where there are some. It is a reading of the market, not our prediction.
