New York Knicks Championship Odds Surging Following Round 1 Win vs. Sixers

The New York Knicks advanced out of the first round on Thursday night in thrilling fashion, eliminating the reigning league MVP Joel Embiid and the Sixers.

Now, the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference Knicks are the clear second choice to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals and oddsmakers are taking notice in the NBA Championship market. New York's odds to win it all this season are down to +1200 as the team is a big favorite in the second round against the No. 6 seed Pacers.
