Warriors, Cavaliers top 2018 Vegas title odds
Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports / Action Images
Las Vegas doesn't see the Warriors-Cavaliers title duopoly ending anytime soon.
2018 championship odds provided by Bovada have the Golden State Warriors as heavy favorites to win it all - with a 60 percent chance at the title - while the Cleveland Cavaliers rank as their closest and only realistic opponent at 25 percent.
The rest of the field is purely speculative. The Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs aren't yet title contenders as currently constructed, but they have the financial flexibility to import another star. Nevertheless, Vegas gave them less than an eight percent chance for a successful title run.
