For the first time in four years, the Golden State Warriors are not the early NBA Finals favorites.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SportsBetting<\/a>\u00a0has posted odds to capture the 2019-20 championship, and neither of this year’s Finals representatives sit atop the list.<\/p>\n

The odds will certainly change as the free agency picture becomes more clear, but for now oddsmakers positioned the Milwaukee Bucks as favorites for the 2019-20 season.<\/p>\n

The last time the Warriors weren’t favorites was going into the 2014-15 season when the Cleveland Cavaliers were just ahead of them on the odds board. Golden State won the title that season and has\u00a0been the preseason favorites every year since.<\/p>\n

Last year at this time, the Clippers had 75\/1 odds, the Nets had 250\/1 odds and the Knicks had 100\/1 odds.<\/p>\n
