NBA championship
Los Angeles Lakers (+275)
Fulghum: The defending champs got considerably better and deeper. The additions of Wesley Matthews and Marc Gasol make up for the losses of Danny Green and Dwight Howard, with comparable defensive chops. Dennis Schroder and Montrezl Harrell now give the Lakers one of the best benches in the league, helping LeBron James and Anthony Davis carry the burden.
Dallas Mavericks (20-1)
