The Warriors start out at 5-7 favorites to win it all with the Cavs trailing right behind them at 3-1. At the start of the season, the Cavs started out as 2-1 favorites to win the 2016 NBA Championship with the Warriors right behind them at 4-1, but that completely changed as the Warriors went on their historic run, as David Purdum of ESPN points out.
