NBA Finals betting odds: Warriors open as heavy favorites over Cavs

By Josh Criswell

OAKLAND, CA - JUNE 19: Kyrie Irving #2 of the Cleveland Cavaliers shoots a three-point basket late in the fourth quarter against Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals at ORACLE Arena on June 19, 2016 in Oakland,

The Cleveland Cavaliers may be the defending champions, but there is no denying that the Golden State Warriors -- given the addition of Kevin Durant -- are the clearcut favorites.

Just how heavily favored are the Warriors? The difference is staggering.

Given these odds, a $100 bet on the Warriors would pay out a profit of $41.67. For reference, the same $100 bet on the Cavaliers would net a $200 profit.

The Warriors are set to host Game 1 next Thursday in Oakland.
