00:00OKC is going to be the one seed in the Western Conference, 12-game lead right now.

00:05Boston trails Cleveland by eight and a half games for that one seed.

00:09The Cavaliers, more than likely, will have home court advantage throughout the Eastern Conference postseason.

00:15So when you look at those NBA championship odds, whether it's Cleveland or somebody else outside of the top two,

00:21where is the value right here, right now?

00:24It's still got to be Denver. And despite what they showed last night, getting blown out by 20 points,

00:31I think it was, when they were home favorites, I still think that they're the right bet to have.

00:35And I think that OKC is a great team, but Jamal Murray for Denver has been playing so much better

00:41in this recent stretch, month, month and a half, than he has been really for the past year.

00:45This is the Jamal Murray that we have come to know and love over the past few seasons.

00:49And if he's going to be operating at this level, and Jokic is, it's still unbelievable,

00:52they get the contributions from Gordon when he's healthy, MPJ, Christian Braun, etc.

00:57They are a team you still need to be worried about. So that number is awesome on Denver.

01:00I think them and OKC will be clashing in the Western Conference Finals.
