Updated NBA championship odds: Cavaliers get slight edge over Spurs
Ken Blaze / USA Today Sports
Apparently bringing in LeBron James and Kevin Love can do wonders for a team's outlook.
After opening the offseason as 40-to-1 underdogs, the revamped Cleveland Cavaliers have rocketed past every other NBA team, including the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, and taken up the mantle of championship favorites.
Another big mover is Dallas, who jumps to the top of the second-tier contenders pool, right alongside the Houston Rockets, thanks to splashy offseason pickups in Chandler Parsons and Tyson Chandler.
