Golden State Warriors 2024-25 NBA Championship Betting
This season saw marginal improvement for the Golden State Warriors. Golden State earned two more wins this year and improved to third place from fifth in the Pacific Division. The acquisition of Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat caused some excitement, but the Warriors are still not in the upper echelon of NBA championship contenders. Golden State still has Stephen Curry manning the marquee, but the supporting cast is not what it used to be. Most important of all to gamblers was a modest profit by the Warriors for the season. Golden State showed good betting value down the stretch.
However, in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, the Warriors were no match for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Minnesota won the second-round series 4-1.

Golden State Warriors History
The Golden State Warriors have the distinction of winning the first recognized basketball championship. Golden State was a founding member of the BAA and won the first title over the Chicago Stags during the 1946-47 season when they were known as the Philadelphia Warriors. However, they struggled upon joining the NBA and only finished with a winning record once before winning the 1956 NBA Championship.
This franchise moved across the country to become the San Francisco Warriors in 1962. They were seen as title contenders with the great Wilt Chamberlain, but they lost the 1964 NBA Finals, and he was traded the following season. The Warriors continued to be competitive without him, and they eventually brought the city a title in 1975 with Rick Barry leading the way.
Golden State was one of the worst teams in the league from the late 1970s until the early 2010s. Over the last decade, the Warriors have been the premier franchise in the league, though. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green have formed the core of a team that has been to the NBA Finals six times in the last eight years, winning four championships.
