NBA championship odds 2026-27
These NBA championship odds come from bet365, BetMGM, DraftKings, Caesars, FanDuel and Hard Rock, read from the VegasInsider odds grid at 5:58 a.m. ET on 30 October 2026. They are US-market prices. Most of those books also hold an Ontario licence, but Ontario boards can differ, and books elsewhere in Canada will differ more. The opening column is DraftKings’ first price for the season. The implied chance uses the middle price and includes the books’ margin.

The biggest moves since the NBA championship odds opened
Toronto and Philadelphia have moved the most. Toronto went from +10000 to +1600 to +2500. That’s a big shift. Kawhi Leonard arrived in a trade on 14 September, and the price fell with it. He is now out for multiple weeks with swelling in his left knee, which the books knew when these prices were set.
Philadelphia went from +5500 to +750 to +2500. The 76ers now have LeBron James and Jaylen Brown alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Houston has come in from +6000 to +1600 to +5000 after winning its first five games, though two books still have it at +4000 or longer.
Boston has drifted, from +550 to +1000 to +1500. Milwaukee went the same way, from +25000 to +50000 to +100000, after Giannis Antetokounmpo left for Miami in July.
Eastern and Western Conference favourites
East: Philadelphia +750 to +2500, Knicks +850 to +1000, Boston +1000 to +1500, Toronto +1600 to +2500, Detroit +2200 to +2800.
West: San Antonio +250 to +290, Oklahoma City +260 to +400, Minnesota +1200 to +2500, Houston +1600 to +5000, Denver +2000 to +3000.
The West has the two favourites. No Eastern club is shorter than +750 with any book, so the East is open, and that’s the path Toronto has to clear.

Toronto has the best scoring margin in the league so far, at +15.0 points a game, and is 3-1.
The Raptors’ title odds
At +1600 to +2500, the books make Toronto a contender for the first time in years. Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett have carried the scoring with Leonard out. The full roster, schedule and Canadian TV listings are on our Toronto Raptors page.

How NBA futures work in Canada
A championship bet settles when the Finals end in June, so the stake is tied up for the whole season. Prices move with every trade and injury. Books also offer conference, division and win-total futures, plus the awards: MVP, Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and the rest. Our NBA MVP odds page covers the most popular award market.
Where you can bet depends on your province. Ontario and Alberta have licensed private sportsbooks, and elsewhere the provincial lottery platform is the legal route. Our NBA betting hub covers each province, and the list below is matched to where you are.
Injuries move futures prices more than anything else. The NBA injury report has every club’s list, updated daily.
