The Lakers' championship odds have gone from 3-1 to 30-1 entering the All-Star break. More money was bet on the Lakers to win the title than on the other teams combined. They are 2-1 favorites to make the playoffs.
The Warriors and Suns have the best records in the Western Conference. They were the favorites over the last week. While the Suns are the favorites, more money and more bets have been placed on the Warriors to win the title than any other team.
The Suns have a better record, but the Warriors have more of a public trust than the Suns.
The Nets lost 12 of their last 14 games before the All-Star break and traded away James Harden for Ben Simmons. The pool of teams with a realistic chance of winning it all is bigger this season, according to Pullen.
Pullen said that this season feels more wide-open than in the past. I don't think that is the case this season.
