This season marked the first time the Nuggets and the Avalanche both advanced to the second round of their respective playoff brackets in the same year. Could they carry their momentum to become the first NHL and NBA franchises from the same city to win the championships in the same year? Here’s a look at their latest odds from Bovada.
Entering the series, the Nuggets had 22-to-1 odds at winning it all, ranked sixth among the remaining eight teams. The Warriors at 2-to-3 are the odds-on favorites.
To win the Western Conference, Denver (14-to-1) is behind the Warriors (1-to-3) and the Rockets (3-to-1).
The Avalanche are in the middle of the pack with the fifth-best shot at 6-to-1 odds to claim the Stanley Cup. Colorado’s opponent, the San Jose Sharks, are the favorites at 4-to-1, followed by the Bruins and Hurricanes at 9-to-2.
To make it to the finals, Colorado has the third-best shot at 29-to-10 odds to win the Western Conference.
