Warriors no longer favorite to win NBA title for 1st time this season

The Golden State Warriors are no longer the betting favorite to win the NBA title, and it's last year's runner-up who is the biggest benefactor.
Despite dropping their last two games to the Toronto Raptors, the Cleveland Cavaliers are 7-5 favorites to win their first NBA title in franchise history.
The Oklahoma City Thunder, who own a 3-1 series lead over the Warriors, come in with the second-best odds.
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| Cavaliers | 7-5 |
| Thunder | 8-5 |
| Warriors | 3-1 |
| Raptors | 25-1 |

It's the first time this season that the Warriors are not the favorite to repeat as NBA champions.
