NBA Playoffs series odds for current standings

The NBA Playoffs would be starting Saturday, but unfortunately for basketball fans around the world the pandemic has delayed one of sport's finest postseasons. 

What is fortunate, however, with nothing but time on the bookies' hands they've set odds for the first round of the NBA Playoffs. 

These series odds are for the current standings, and exact matchups must occur before the end of the year for wagers to have action.

The only matchup where a lower seed is favored over a higher seed comes in the Western Conference where Houston is a slight favorite against the Nuggets. 

In the East, the higher seed in every opening round series is basically at least a 3-1 favorite over the lower seed.

The odds come courtesy of SportsBetting.ag (subject to change): https://www.sportsbetting.ag/sportsbook/basketball/nba-series
