7. Los Angeles Clippers (42-25, 6th in West) – 20/1
Th Clippers held their fort as best they could without Blake Griffin, going 9-6 in 15 games, and lost Jamal Crawford in the middle of it all. When the Clippers are healthy, they can be as good as anyone in the NBA, but health will be their key. Currently sixth in the West, but expected to climb, the Clippers have a 20/1 chance to win an NBA Championship this year.

This year, they’ve grabbed the second seed in the West behind the Warrios and that’s propelled them to 12/1 odds of winning an NBA Championship.

4. Atlanta Hawks (52-14, 1st in East) – 9/1
Who saw last year’s eighth seed being the clear-cut number one team in the East with an almost 10-game lead over the second seed. Did anyone even predict them winning 19 straight games this season? The Hawks ahve been their own biggest believers, and that’s what’s gotten them to a virtual tie with the Warriors for the number one overall seed and now with a 9/1 chance at an NBA Championship this season.

3. Oklahoma City Thunder (37-29, 8th in West) – 13/2
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are a matchup nightmare for opponents. Even with the best defenders, those two can pick apart defenses easily. After Westbrook’s crazy triple double performances of late, he has the Thunder at a 13/2 chance of winning and NBA Championship this season.

2. Golden State Warriors (52-13, 1st in West) – 9/2
There’s not much to dislike about the Warriors. They may play a little cocky, but the way they dismantle and pick apart their opponents gives them every right to. Stephen Curry is one of the top two clear-cut MVP contenders along with James Harden, and he’s lifted the Warriors to a 9/2 chance at winning an NBA Championship this season.
