A new NBA season has arrived, and it will begin where last season ended: Boston.

The Celtics enter the 2024-25 campaign as the defending champions after rolling through last year’s playoffs. The team secured Banner 18 by defeating the Dallas Mavericks in a gentleman’s sweep in the 2024 NBA Finals and celebrated another championship at TD Garden.

Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Co. will face more challengers this season. The New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers revamped their rosters in the East, while the wild Western Conference is stacked with championship contenders.

With the 2024-25 NBA season tipping off at TD Garden Tuesday night, here’s a look at which teams are favored to lift the Larry O’Brien Trophy in June.

The Celtics are the 2025 Finals favorites entering the season with odds more than twice as high as any other team.

Next on the list are the Oklahoma City Thunder, who claimed the West’s No. 1 seed last season before falling to the Mavericks in the second round. The team has bolstered the surrounding cast around Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams by adding Alex Caruso and Isaiah Hartenstein.

The Knicks are third in championship odds after adding Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges in a pair of blockbuster trades this offseason.
