NBA 2023/24 Season Preview
Where better to start than with the reigning champions. The Nuggets cruised to a 4-1 victory in last season’s NBA Finals, bringing an incredible end to one of the most impressive post-season performances the sport has ever seen. They’ll undoubtedly be right amongst it again this campaign, with Jamal Murray pulling the strings and Nikola Jokic dominating the paint. Two-time MVP Jokic will be eyeing up a place on the exclusive list of eight players with 3+ MVP awards, and quite frankly, we wouldn’t bet against him to do it.
The favourites this season are the 2021 champions, Milwaukee Bucks. Spearheaded by their main man Giannis Antetokounmpo, they will be dreaming of claiming Milwaukee’s third title ever. But Giannis will no longer have to put the franchise on his back. The Bucks have acquired the services of Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers. Lillard averaged 32.2 points and 7.3 assists for Portland last season. The Bucks could be the team to beat.
The other team making up the top three are the Boston Celtics. Not only have they retained the dynamic duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, but they have also bolstered their ranks with the trade of Jrue Holiday from the Milwaukee Bucks. They have lost in the NBA Finals and Conference Finals in the previous two seasons and will be hoping to go all the way in 2024, putting an end to a 15-year wait for the title.

NBA 2023/24 Season Betting Tips
NBA Champions: Milwaukee Bucks – 4.50
We can’t look past the Bucks. Adding Damian Lillard to an already stacked roster could spell trouble for the rest of the Eastern Conference.
Western Conference Champions: Dallas Mavericks – 11.00
Never count out Doncic and the Mavericks. This is as good an outside bet as any, with the Slovenian no doubt on track for another impressive year.
Regular Season MVP: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Giannis is likely to be the main man, and if the Bucks are crowned Eastern Conference champions, he is the most likely to earn the MVP title.
