Orlando Magic, Brooklyn Nets
The longest shots on the scoreboard despite all the games played in the Orlando bubble. The Magic would be an all-time stunner, as would the Brooklyn Nets: Odds: 250-1

Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder
A couple of teams that are formidable foes but don’t imagine they have what it takes to make the deep run needed to hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy. The Pacers and Thunder won’t be eliminated without a fight, but in the end the oddsmakers see them as teams that, ahem, will bounce. Probability: 80-1

Utah Jazz
Donovan Mitchell is one of the best players in the NBA, but he will need a lot of help from Jazz teammates to scare the enemies. This news appeared Sunday in Utah: Mike Conley left the bubble to return home for the birth of his son, Jazz announced. Odds: 65-1

Philadelphia 76ers, Dallas Mavericks
The 76ers have lost Ben Simmons (knee) and always seem to find a way out of the way to victory. They draw a tough Boston Celtics team in the first round and winning that best of seven will be hard enough, let alone go through with it. Dallas, meanwhile in the West, has two starts in Luke Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. The time of the Mavericks may not be now, but it will come sooner than you think. Odds: 50-1

Portland Trail Blazers
These odds seem very short, especially for a team that barely beat Memphis to advance in the tournament. The Portland Trail Blazers have Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum and others but they face the Lakers in the first round. Don’t be shocked if their stay is short. Odds: 25-1

Miami Heat
Jimmy Butler & Co. play in their home state, but not South Beach. The Miami Heat have put together a strong team and have shown on record over the course of the long season. A team to keep an eye on. Odds: 22-1

Boston Celtics
There seems to be hardly a season where the Boston Celtics aren’t some sort of threat to the playoffs. Boston won 48 regular season games and beat Philly’s draw in the first round. A perfect opportunity to build momentum for a long and strong run in the playoffs. Odds: 14-1

Houston Rockets
Russell Westbrook and James Harden’s backcourt is terrifying. However, it will take longer than that duo for the Houston Rockets to do what it takes for a team to win the NBA championship. Odds: 11-1

Toronto Raptors
The reigning NBA champions lost Kawhi Leonard and still won 53 games. The Toronto Raptors are threatening despite the loss of Leonard. They know what it takes to get the job done and these are good odds for a team trying to make it one after another. Odds: 9-1

Los Angeles Clippers
Kawhi Leonard looks to win consecutive titles. This time it’s in the West and with the Los Angeles Clippers. There is much anticipation for a duel of the City of Angels teams in the Western Conference Finals. If that happened, would it soften the survivor for the championship round? Probability: 3.2-1

Los angeles lakers
The other half of the Los Angeles force in the playoffs. LeBron James, Anthony Davis & Co. have a slightly better chance of winning everything than the team they share Staples Center with. Will LeBron add a championship and Western Conference title to his resume? Probability: 2.9-1

Milwaukee Bucks
The chalk is the Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis Antetokounmpo is not thrilled with 3-5 in the eight Bubble games. The Bucks will have to play better to make the oddsmakers seem smart in tabulating them as favorites. Probability: 2.7-1
