Kevin Durant decided to nix his trade request, and the Nets are now a leading contender to win the NBA Finals.
The Nets were dealing as high as +4000 to win thewhen Durant’s eventual exodus felt inevitable. But as trade talks stalled across the league, Brooklyn’s futures odds slowly crept back down across the board, and a potential reunion between the Nets and their malcontent star felt like a possibility.
Still, that didn’t seem like the likeliest outcome as of Monday, when Brooklyn was priced around +700 to win the East and +450 to win the Atlantic Division at most shops. After Tuesday’s news, those odds have already been slashed to +350 and +200, respectively, though the Celtics remain the favorites in both markets.

Their title odds were nudged from +450 on Monday to the current price of +500, while the 76ers and Heat both saw a similar shift after flirting with the Durant sweepstakes in recent weeks.
