Ready or not, the 2020-21 NBA season might be right around the corner. Original reports suggested that the NBA would not be returning to play until January, or potentially February. But the league is now pushing for a pre-Christmas start. The NBA is eyeing December 22 as its opening night. The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has already released their opening 2020-21 NBA Championship odds, and the Los Angeles Lakers have opened as the +350 favorite to repeat their crown, followed by the Milwaukee Bucks (+500), Los Angeles Clippers (+600), and Brooklyn Nets (+600). This year's Eastern Conference champions, the Miami Heat, are 16-to-1 to win next year's title.

If the NBA's plan holds true, the 2020-21 NBA season will consist of a 72-game regular season schedule (down ten games from a traditional 82-game season) without any kind of All-Star break. The league is attempting to get the season completed before the 2021 Summer Olympics begin in late July.| 2020-21 NBA Title Odds | OPENING ODDS (9/19/20) | CURRENT ODDS (11/17/20) |
