SAFE BET: Warriors (+600) – The defending champs have appeared in six of the last eight NBA Finals, and Klay Thompson should be at full health. (Jordan Poole’s health might depend on Draymond Green’s temper.)
VALUE PLAY: Nets (+800) – Eventually this collection of talent will make a postseason run, right? Right?!? Kyrie Irving is in a contract year, and maybe Ben Simmons will provide some energy on top of the drama.
LONGSHOT: Timberwolves (+3300) – Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns have developed into a dynamic duo, and the T-Wolves added defensive whiz Rudy Gobert.
