Every Team's Odds to Win the NBA Championship Following 2023-24 Schedule Release

The 2023-24 NBA season is still two months away, but the league released its full schedule on Thursday evening, allowing fans to get a glimpse into what is to come for their squads. 

The NBA will have a new format this season with the league’s In-Season Tournament taking place in early December, a new twist that breaks up the regular season. 

While the schedule release shouldn’t change the odds much – if it all – in the futures market, it does provide insight to some key areas to look at. 

One of those is how many back-to-backs each team has to play, as that could be a sign for players getting rest days. Also, some teams have really struggled on the second night in back-to-backs in recent seasons. 

Another is strength of schedule, which has been provided already by Tankathon. This is based on the record of each team in the 2022-23 season. 

For bettors, it’s a good time to refresh on the futures market, and maybe place a bet or two on a team with a favorable draw in the 2023-24 season.
