The morning after Golden State's dominant win over the Oklahoma City Thunder Monday night, the Warriors woke up to something that hadn't happened while any members of the current roster were alive: months into the season, the Warriors are now co-championship favorites with the Chicago Bulls.
The Cleveland Cavaliers had occupied Bovada's top spot in their NBA Championship futures betting section, but the Cavs' brutal recent stretch and the Warriors' continued dominance has handed Golden State the top spot. The Warriors have the NBA's best record at 27-5, and they aren't just beating teams like the Thunder, who used to beat up on them - they're blowing them out.
Here are the full odds, via Bovada, as of 1/6:
Golden State Warriors
5/1
Chicago Bulls
5/1
San Antonio Spurs
11/2
Cleveland Cavaliers

Dallas Mavericks

1000/1
Orlando Magic
1000/1
Utah Jazz
1000/1
Minnesota Timberwolves
5000/1
Philadelphia 76ers

We aren't sure how the Knicks are 1000/1 and the Sixers (who now have a better record) are far below at 5000/1...but you're better off setting your money on fire than betting on either of those teams. The Warriors host the Indiana Pacers Wednesday as they look for their fifth consecutive win.
