Golden State Warriors odds-on for NBA title ahead of Conference finals

The Golden State Warriors have been installed as odds-on favourites for the NBA title following the completion of the Conference semi-finals.

The four teams still in with a chance of winning the championship are Golden State, the Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Steve Kerr's Warriors finished the regular season with the best record and will face Houston in the Western Conference finals after the latter's game-seven victory over the Los Angeles Clippers yesterday.

During the regular season, the Warriors won all four meetings with the Rockets by an average of 12.75 points.

The Cavaliers are favourites to win the Eastern Conference finals, despite Atlanta finishing as the top seed in the East.
