Updated odds: Warriors lone title favorites, Knicks and Lakers off board
A 19-game winning streak wasn't enough to make the Atlanta Hawks the oddsmaker favorites to win the NBA Championship in June.
The streak did push the Hawks from 16-to-1 to 15-to-2 odds, effectively doubling their perceived chances of hanging a banner at the end of the year. Still, it's the Golden State Warriors - the only team with a better record than the Hawks - with the best odds of winning it all.
The 11-game winning streak of the Cleveland Cavaliers keeps them firmly among the favorites, behind only the Warriors, and the surging San Antonio Spurs - much improved since the return of Kawhi Leonard - round out the top-four.
Also of note, four teams at the bottom of the standings have been taken off the board, including the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers, who entered the season with laughable odds.
