Now that the All-Star break is over, the NBA season is coming down to the wire and the playoff races are heating up. The title picture is becoming smaller as the Warriors have continued to dominate with the return of DeMarcus Cousins from injury. Milwaukee has become the betting favorite to win the Eastern Conference at the FanDuel Sportsbook, tied with the Raptors.
The Bucks no longer have the same great betting value as they did earlier in the season since the public seemingly caught on. Giannis Antetokounmpo and company remain the top-ranked team according to our model, and they seem destined to meet Golden State in a star-studded Finals.
