The Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks are favorites to win the NBA title at Caesars Sportsbook heading into the All-Star break.

The Lakers are +180 favorites, with the Bucks at +275.

More than twice as much money has been bet on the Lakers to win the title as any other team, according to Caesars.

The Clippers are the only other team with single-digit title odds at +325.

Both #1 seeds in each conference are the favorites to win the NBA title? Color me shocked, Vegas

Lakers will be totally gassed by the playoffs. Only 4 of their players were even in the playoffs last year and only 1 of those guys are in the rotation. The bottom is gonna fall out. There is a reason the Bucks and Clippers manage their guys minutes. Lakers going balls to the wall for 82 games isn't gonna work out well for them.

Boogie will be a spark off the bench in the playoffs just wait and see

Can LeBron win without two other franchise players this time, while only having AD? It'll be interesting to see and it'll be his first.

Love was a franchise player? None of LBJs rosters were anywhere near as good as MJs.. Love and Kyrie are yet to make there teams better..

LeBron is playing career low minutes..

The Lakers couldn't even beat the Clippers before the arrival of Marcus Morris.....so I guess the Lakers being favorites would be dependent on someone else taking out the Clippers.

Vegas betting on sure things

Great news ... cancel the rest of the season because people betting on games have spoken. Ignore how that worked for GSW last year. Also ignore that the betting lines are determined to make sure the house profits even when it loses - something about a fool and his money. It is all okay though .... Denver vs Raps in the finals with the Raps winning the chip again. 40-15 record, 2nd in EC despite 185 man games lost to injury to their core 7 players.... every other team even close to as many man games lost is lottery bound.

If injuries happen maybe Raptors could win by a miracle last year.. The Raptors won because Klay got injured.. KD was not even necessary Klay got injured after GSW leveled the series 1 - 1 clearly with no injuries GSW would of swept the Raptors but even if KD had been out GSW still would of won if Klay didn't get injured..
