NBA free agency 2025: Oddsmakers react to major moves — 'The Rockets have done nothing but positive

Four teams that have improved
Houston Rockets

Opening odds: +800 (BetMGM opened 2025-26 title odds after Durant deal)

Current odds: +800

Sherman: "I had opened them at 12-1 when we first got going, anticipating they were going to be aggressive, and they’re currently at +800. Adding Clint Capela, Durant, extending Steven Adams, signing Fred VanVleet, they've done nothing but positive things. I’ve always liked the direction under head coach Ime Udoka. They've also had the single-most impactful move with the Durant trade. They needed someone to close games, but Durant going there attracts other players like Capela and Finney-Smith."
