Blazers fans - Now is the team to head to Las Vegas if you feel good about the team’s outlook for the 2017-18 NBA season.
Bovada Sportsbook gave the Blazers 150/1 odds of winning the 2018 NBA title in its way-too-early championship line, released today. Apparently the Blazers are on par with other stalwart franchises like the Knicks (150/1) and Pacers (150/1) and significantly worse than the 76ers (66/1) and Timberwolves (50/1), who combined for a solid 59 wins last season.

Bovada is also pessimistic about Portland’s first-round draft pick Zach Collins, leaving him off their Rookie of the Year table entirely.
