According to the NBA's survey among NBA GMs, the odds for who will be the champion this season are as follows.

Boston Celtics                    %83
Oklahoma City Thunder      %13
Dallas Mavericks                %3

I think the champion will be the Boston Celtics again. I would like the Dallas Mavericks to be the champion.
I hope we watch an enjoyable and exciting season.

Not based on the betting odds: https://www.espn.ph/nba/futures
I think the odds are more accurate because they come from expert opinions, which are usually based on what the majority of people think.

As for that survey you mentioned, with "Boston Celtics 83%," that doesn’t seem accurate at all. I wonder how many people actually participated in that survey for it to end up with such percentage.

Gambling odds are definitely better predictors than a group of NBA GMs. I don’t think Boston repeats. I like the Bucks and the 76ers in the East over them. In the West I think it will be between Denver and Minnesota. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Bucks beat the Timberwolves to win it all next year.

As long as giannis is on the court I tend to agree.  The sixers have to fight father time and with big guys I just wouldn't bet on it.  You are going to see a ton of load management pit of that team, I hit the under on team wins this year for them.  Either based on games off or injuries alone.  Maxey is gonna be the one that needs to step up he needs to play all-nba like for them to beat the Celtics I think.  I'm high on maxey just not the knee brothers.
