Brooklyn Nets 2024 NBA Championship Odds
Two years ago, the Brooklyn Nets were a hot future market ticket and a franchise that resembled a fantasy NBA team. Big name stars were thought to be the ticket to the Nets' first NBA championship. Instead, Brooklyn was nearly destroyed by massive and erratic egos that were consumed with selfishness. After reaching a peak at 48-24 in 202021, the Nets have regressed into a club that has little hope of making the 2024 NBA Playoffs. Brooklyn does offer occasional betting value as a team that squares avoid at all costs.

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 where 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 has won just one playoff series in three years with Durant and Irving.
