Brooklyn Nets 2024-25 NBA Championship Betting
Last year was one of misery for the Brooklyn Nets. And the 2024-25 season is even worse. Gamblers are avoiding the Nets like the plague. Brooklyn has no appeal to either sharps or squares. Nobody sees Brooklyn as a playoff contender in the upcoming season. What is shocking is that the Nets are in the black with all of their problems. That is a great example of how teams that the casual sector avoids can offer enhanced betting value because oddsmakers are forced to sweeten the pot in order to keep the wagering action even.

Brooklyn Nets History
This franchise was born as the New Jersey Americans in 1967 and became the New York Nets the following year. The Nets made it to the ABA Finals three times in five years, winning the title twice with Julius Erving. Unfortunately, they were forced to sell Erving’s contract as a result of their move to the NBA, and that led to the Nets failing to post a winning record in their first five seasons in the new league. They only won one playoff series in their first 25 years in the NBA, and there was talk of this team moving as a result.
The New Jersey Nets didn’t win their first division title until the 2001-02 season. That was also the year when the Nets won their second playoff series, and they won two more to make their first NBA Finals appearance. Jason Kidd and a cast of solid role players ended up winning the Eastern Conference for two straight seasons, but the Nets could only win two games in their consecutive NBA Finals appearances.
Once again, the Nets reinvented themselves at the start of the 2010s. They moved to Brooklyn and became the Brooklyn Nets, and they built a state-of-the-art stadium. Joseph Tsai became the sole owner of the franchise in 2019, and he immediately went about making this team a contender by bringing in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. The Nets traded for James Harden, too, and they were seen as a potential dynasty in the making. However, Brooklyn won just one playoff series with Durant and Irving.
