What do the FanDuel odds say?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Houston Rockets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
There was a national question this week in our NBA Reacts surveys that asked our readers if they were favoring the Oklahoma City Thunder to win the Western Conference or the field. Our good friends over at FanDuel also have their odds up for who is going to win the Western Conference. Here’s what our Reacts readers say:
As you can see, our voters are taking the field. Plus, if you have any faith at all in your hometown Rockets, you might be able to make a nice chunk of change. The Rockets are currently +2600 to win the Western Conference, which means that if you bet $100 and the Rockets do win the west, you’ll take home a cool $2600.
The Thunder lead those odds at -155, but what I find the most interesting, is that despite Houston being the second seed in the Western Conference, they still have some of the worst odds. The Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers and Minnesota Timberwolves all have better odds to win the west than Houston. The Warriors have the third best odds despite looking like a possible play-in team.
Talk about some Rockets disrespect, but hey, I like it that way. Plus, it could be an opportunity to root for your team and make some money.
