Warriors, Rockets Favorites to Win NBA Title
The Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors are the betting favorites to win the NBA Finals, according to odds posted by Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook.
The Warriors begin defense of their title on Saturday in their first round series against the San Antonio Spurs. The Warriors swept the Spurs in last season's Western Conference Finals after All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard hurt his ankle in Game 1.

The Rockets, who have the league's best record, and Warriors are 6–5 favorites, followed by the Cavaliers at 8–1 and the East's top seed Toronto Raptors at 12-5.
The Milwaukee Bucks and New Orleans Pelicans are the longest shots at 300–1.
