https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nba?tab=nba-finalsThey are currently 7th favourite in line betting (behind Cleveland) which means many pundits and bookies don't really consider them a legit championship fancy, which i think is fairly galling for a team that finished 3rd in their conference.
I am not saying i agree with these odds, curious what others think
I mean, these odds have a few reasons.
1) Celtics are favored a lot which means the Knicks odds get higher automatically as they are headed towards a second round clash.
2) Whoever gets out of the West will be favored against the East.
Look at the western conference winner odds, Knicks and Denver are tied when it comes to reaching the finals, both are at +600 to get there.
