The NBA is planning to resume play in late July after putting the season on hold amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The Sacramento Kings have longs odds (+25000) to reach the finals, but they’re still in the hunt. They young squad led by De’Aaron Fox is expected to be on the outside looking in, but DraftKings Sportsbook is offering a Name the Finalists market for each team and their potential NBA Finals matchups. Let’s take a look at all the odds offered for the Kings.
Kings vs. Bucks: +40000
Kings vs. Celtics: +200000
Kings vs. Raptors: +200000
Kings vs. Sixers: +250000
Kings vs. Heat: +250000
Kings vs. Pacers: +500000
Kings vs. Magic: +500000
Kings vs. Nets: +500000
Kings vs. Wizards: +500000
The odds of the Kings meeting the Eastern Conference favorite Bucks clock in a +40000, so that gives you an idea about how unlikely it is that Sacramento will be competitive. The odds of every potential matchup after that are six figures.
I can’t say there’s necessarily a smart bet to make here, as Sacramento’s odds to reach the playoffs are +1100. I wouldn’t advise anyone to make a finals bet centered around Sacramento, but if you feel so inclined, roll with a potential Kings-Bucks finals matchup.
