The Milwaukee Bucks' efforts to downsize their roster, payroll and perhaps their performance level has not caught up with the oddsmakers.
At least not yet.
In the off-season, the Stardust Race and Sports Book opened the Bucks' odds of winning the NBA championship at 30-1. It has not changed since then.
There are 12 other teams with better odds of winning the NBA title, according to Stardust, including the Los Angeles Lakers (6-5 odds), San Antonio (9-2), Sacramento (5-1), Dallas (7-1), New Jersey and Detroit (15-1).
