NBA championship odds: Vegas predicts which playoff team will raise a banner
It's safe to bet that this season's NBA champion will hail from the West.
NBA postseason action begins this weekend after a dramatic end to the season on Wednesday, with several playoff teams decided at the last possible minute.
It was a tight race in the Western Conference specifically, and the reigning champion Golden State Warriors face a new challenge this year after falling to the No. 2 seed -- the No. 1 Houston Rockets.

Though the competition West generally garners the most attention, there's still a fairly good chance that a team from the East could raise a banner at the end of it all. The Cleveland Cavaliers may have fallen to the No. 4 seed in the conference, but they are still favored to win over the Toronto Raptors, Philadelphia 76ers and hobbled Boston Celtics.
