Nets favored to win 2021-22 NBA title
Brooklyn watches as Bucks complete championship run
Moments after the Milwaukee Bucks won their first NBA championship since 1971 Tuesday night, the Brooklyn Nets were back on the clock for delivering our borough’s first major pro sports crown since 1955.
According to an ESPN report, the Nets have been installed as the favorite to grab their first-ever NBA title in 2021-22, coming in at +225 after falling well short of this year’s goal with a heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the eventual champions in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
