For a while now, the NBA has been dominated by the concept of “super teams.” Anywhere from three to four All-NBA-level talents team up and try to chase down an NBA title. Due to player movement and injuries, the super team has gone on hiatus this season. In its place, the best teams have All-Star-level duos.
There are 11 teams with odds of 30-to-1 or better of winning the 2020 NBA Finals. Each of the 11 teams has a pairing that is at, or close to, All-Star level.
It’s a pretty clear dividing line, as many of the 11 teams that make up the bottom half of those resuming the season don’t have a clear twosome leading the way.
