Kevin Durant has taken immense heat by mimicking LeBron James’ departure from one franchise to another to grab an NBA title.
By leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder after winning an MVP and four NBA scoring titles, Durant has made the Golden State Warriors a massive betting favorite to win the Pacific Division, the Western Conference and the NBA title, in that order.
The official over/under victory total for the Warriors, who are coming off an NBA-record 73 regular-season victories before losing Game 7 in the NBA Finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers, is a league-best 66 ½ at the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.
