Highlights

  • 76ers lead the Boston Celtics 3-1 in the Eastern Conference Semifinal round
  • Philadelphia shares +290 odds to win the NBA title with Denver at FanDuel
  • DraftKings give the 76ers +340 odds to win the NBA and -105 to win the East

When it comes to PA sports betting markets, the local 76ers have been given the best odds to win the NBA Championship according to DraftKings and FanDuel.

With a 3-1 series lead, Philly looks primed to beat the favored Boston Celtics and could become heavy favorites to win the Eastern Conference over the winner of the New York Knicks and Miami Heat matchup.

At FanDuel, the 76ers hold -178 to win the series over the Celtics and +290 odds to win the Eastern Conference and advanced to the NBA Finals. Over at DraftKings, the 76ers hold -180 odds to top Boston and +340 win their conference over either the Knicks or Heat.

Philadelphia Ranks as Major Favorite to Win NBA Title

DraftKings and FanDuel also set their online gambling odds for teams to win the NBA Championship. The 76ers ranks as one of the top teams in the sportsbooks’ latest odds due primarily to their series lead over Boston.

At FanDuel, the 76ers hold +290 odds to win the NBA crown, while DK gives Philly +340 odds to win the title.

Other team’s odds holding series leads to win the NBA Championship include Denver Nuggets at +290, the Los Angeles Lakers at +320, and the Miami Heat at +1500 at FanDuel.

DraftKings Offer Odds on NBA Finals MVP

With the 76ers on the verge of reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, DraftKings has set their odds for one of Philadelphia’s players winning the NBA Finals MVP. Currently, center Joel Embiid holds +450 odds at DK, while guard James Harden carries +1400 to win the award.

NBA Finals MVP typically goes to the best player from the team that wins the championship. Unfortunately, most sportsbooks, including DraftKings will not allow a parlay ticket with the 76ers to win and either Harden or Embiid as MVP.
