Latest NBA Eastern Conference Betting Odds Heavily Favor Miami Heat

The Miami Heat lead the way on the 2012 NBA Championship betting lines over the rest of the pack.

Needless to say, the Heat also control the odds to win the Eastern Conference.

In fact, Miami is better than an even favorite to win the Eastern Conference for the second-straight season and reach the NBA Finals, going off at 4/5 on the Latest Eastern conference Betting Odds at Bovada Sportsbook.

But as many recall, Miami lost the NBA Finals to the Dallas Mavericks last season.

Coming in behind the Heat on the list of favorites to win the Eastern Conference are the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls had the best regular of any team in the NBA last season, and have played well up to this point in 2012. But to win the East, the Bulls will have to likely go through Miami, which is something that they were not able to due in the playoff last season.

Behind the top-two favorites in the East, the odds drop rather significantly, and in favor of a team that was on no one’s radar this season coming in.

The Philadelphia 76ers come in behind the Heat and Bulls, going off at 10/1 on the latest NBA betting odds.

Rounding out the top-five odds in the East are the Boston Celtics at 12/1, and the Indiana Pacers at 15/1.
