The 2022-23 NBA season begins on Oct. 18 and it will be a long and winding season culminating with the 2023 NBA Finals in June. The Golden State Warriors are the defending NBA champions and despite some offseason strife for both franchises, they're +575 co-favorites to win the title with the Boston Celtics. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers haven't been able to significantly reboot their failed experiment with LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook but are still listed at 18-1 to win the title in the latest NBA futures odds from Caesars Sportsbook.

Before making any NBA futures picks, you NEED to check out the NBA predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times and has returned well over $10,000 in profit for $100 players on its top-rated NBA picks over the past four seasons. The model went a stunning 88-60 on all top-rated NBA picks last season, returning more than $2,100. Anyone following it has seen HUGE returns!

Now, it has set its sights on finding value in the 2022-23 NBA futures odds. We can tell you the model is betting against the Chicago Bulls to make the playoffs for a +115 payout. In fact, the model believes the Bulls finish 11th in the Eastern Conference and fail to even make the play-in tournament. The model is predicting the Bulls only make the postseason in 25.76% of simulations, making the NO bet a fantastic value.

However, the model is high on another juicy longshot in the West that would pay 30-1! You NEED to see the model's analysis before making any 2022 NBA futures bets.
