Updated NBA West Odds
LAS VEGAS, NV (TheSpread) – The Western Conference of the NBA has four teams all capable of making a run to the title. Which one will emerge from the pack this year?
According to the latest oddsmakers, the Golden State Warriors are a -260 favorite to win the conference title. The other odds are the Houston Rockets (+450), the Los Angeles Clippers (+550) and the Memphis Grizzlies (+1800).
The Warriors are the top seed in the West and they are coming off a four-game sweep of the New Orleans Pelicans. They will now begin a series with Memphis. Golden State is a six-time conference champion, last winning in 1975.
Houston is the second seed in the conference and the Rockets are coming off a five-game series win over the Dallas Mavericks. The Rockets now take on the Clippers in the conference semifinals. Houston has won four conference titles in its history, the last coming in 1995.
The Clippers are the third seed in the West and they are coming off a very-physical and taxing series with the defending NBA champs, the Spurs. Los Angeles won the series in seven games and will now face Houston in the second round. The Clippers have never won the conference title.
Memphis disposed of the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round in five games. The fifth-seeded Grizzlies now take on the Warriors. Memphis has never won the conference title in franchise history.
