Will a 7-seed lose two straight and be ousted from the playoff picture? Or will a 10-seed pull off a couple of upsets and enter the fray?
The number-crunchers at SportsBetting.ag have answered those questions in the form of odds and probabilities below. Betting lines for the four play-in games are also included.
Additionally, the website has updated odds to win the NBA Championship, as well as each conference.
Finally, the regular season is over so the final NBA Awards odds have been created. Coach of the Year is the tightest race, at least according to the numbers.
