Latest Brooklyn Nets Betting Odds & Information

A number of online NBA betting apps have put up some early prices for the 2022 NBA Championship pennant, and the Brooklyn Nets are currently no bigger than +275 odds to lift the trophy.

The Nets may not have even made the 2021 NBA Finals but the odds compilers are impressed enough with the New Yorkers roster to make them the hot favorites for next season. This means that if you bet $100 on the Nets, you will have $275 returned. It may not be a big payout but it’s currently what those in the know think will happen.

These odds are subject to change though, particularly after the NBA Draft has been completed. For all up to date NBA Betting information be sure to check back elsewhere on the site regularly, where our team will not only post the latest odds but also some analysis and expert predictions for the 2022 NBA season.
